thanks, dont they have a reference book? thanks

Of course you can. Kolmogorov complexity never says anything about finding lower bounds for specific elements. The lower bound is a statament about one string. The upper bound is statement about infinite strings, so you need to prove for infinite strings. In that sense you cant compress all strings and pointing a specific one without representing the index to it with a complexity a least as large as the string itself it represents. Read the part of pointing and telling things apart.

Lol, its funny how people think they know about others peoples lives... and speaking of wasting time...

Thats really interesting.. Do you recommend any books on ergodic theory that are accessible? I have undergrad in math, but it was a while ago. Thanks!

Let me give you an idea, just dont read it then. Im not monetizing anything btw.

Im fully aware. But since you came here to criticize only, thanks.

Its one of the simple forms of lossy compression, so you could have just point out that constructively, but hey this is internet.

Except anyone can use bullets.

And except the section title is basically me resuming what was seeing before:

Taking stock: what we managed to extract

So you want me to use what? Give me a break.

Im not trying anything. I just put as a joke. Im using AI to learn, but I wrote the structure and the references, and remodeled some parts with AI, yes, but I wrote the base input text by hand, in the sense AI would not be needed, but it helps me as English is not my first language.

Does that solve the issue? You can always ask yourself if you can embedd something smaller or not? Kolmogorov is just comparing things.. plus, in order to specifically point to pi in the languages internal table, you will need complexity as large as your representation of pi.

I think that does not hold, Kolmogorov complexity is measured relative to a pre-defined universal machine for everything. The machine is not counted in the description of π, for the same reason a book's length isn't measured by including the size of the reader. You fix one interpreter, then ask "how long is the shortest input that makes something?" The interpreter is a constant — the same constant for π, for the random file, for every string in the post

thats interesting, and maybe beyond my current knowledge, I will certainly look into it. About the entropy being a property of a distribution, thats totally correct and I need to fix the post. Thanks.

I mean if you are using version control like git you can always see diffs. I would say it might be easier to go that way into checking small changes into commits and dev branches, then you can try a very good diff UI that will refresh each change. Thats one way.

why would you use an IDE if you are not the one coding? You can review the code in github/gitlab using prs, but not necessarily code.. I feel IDEs are not the best environment for coding agents UI because the prioritize code editing, and the interaction with agents has a different priority.

Thats very interesting view. I actually had some experience with that kind of dense language for specifying when I start testing using two llms to code: one to instruct the coding agent and the agent itself. The instructor start creating quite dense english that sometimes I could not easily understand, but seems to make the coding agent pretty efficient in understanding the requirements.

Yes I meant Claude Code client. Indeed Opus is a token eater, I usually use Sonnet because or that.
