The Orthogonality Thesis (by Nick Bostrom) says that intelligence and ultimate goals are independent. Those non-instrumental goals can’t be stupid nor right or wrong. Increasing intelligence will not change the goals only the capability to reach them.

At first I noticed that for many questions two or three of the answers are obviously wrong. So in many cases the correct answer can be guesses easily. But then I noticed that in 90% of the cases the correct answer is the longest of the four. This makes guessing even easier. The whole thing has a vibe-slopped feel to it.

We run into this issue when watching Korean movies/dramas. My wife prefers Japanese subtitles and I prefer English/German. I haven’t found a way to enable two subtitles in Firefox (via extensions). So in those cases I usually download a release which contains subtitles in both languages and use a script to extract them via ffmpeg and then combine them into a single srt. Now the issue is that the lines of the different languages don’t always appear/disappear at the same time. This leads to text jumping up and down. I have tried to mitigate it by injecting white space where only one line is visible, but this again fails when the video player breaks long lines or when the location of the subs change to the top (because there is hard-coded text in the image). I feel like there must be a better way…

LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) != LLM (Large Language Model)

Why run something in a few CPU cyles on a 40 year old home computer when you can do the same (but worse) on a billion-dollar GPU cluster?

Excuse my ignorance, but you can set up your own Discord server? I thought it‘s a SaaS kind of offering.

When the rocket launches it already moves with earth's rotation at that latitude (and is stationary with respect to the ground). That's in fact the reason why many rocket launch sites are near the equator: Free velocity.

Why is it launching with a horizontal velocity? It initially moves to the right even when pointing up perfectly.

For me the page only shows a title but no content (Chrome, iOS). Or am I missing the joke? (That AI researchers and economists have nothing to say about the topic.)

Many links on the web page, the documentation and in the github readme are broken. Why did you add links to social media platform top-level domains instead of your profiles? The „simulation“ is buggy: The stop and reset button don‘t work (on mobile). I don’t see any Rust code in the repo. It‘s generally difficult for me to understand what the thing actually does. Sorry if this is harsh, but everything has a strong smell of LLM slop to it.

In some ecosystems like Rust/Cargo the lock file can list a superset of the dependencies that actually make it into the final executable. Crates may conditionally include or exclude dependencies based on enabled features selected by the parent crate, or on the compilation target itself. As a result, the SBOM is effectively a build artifact, and its contents can legitimately vary across platforms.

How do you verify that your verification verifies the right thing? Couldn’t the LLM spit out a nice looking but ultimately useless proof (boiling down to something like 1=1). Also, in my experience software projects are full of incorrect, incomplete and constantly changing assumptions and requirements.

I think you are way too optimistic. Even with an antimatter drive and 100% conversion efficiency, such rocket would have a fuel to payload ratio of >1000.

It also uses pentagons in some places because a hexagonal grid can‘t tile a sphere. They made sure that the pentagons are located in water, but this feels like it will add even more edge cases to handle.

I didn't finish reading the article before commenting. Mea culpa! Maybe it would be possible to use Phantasy Star Online's network stack via the streaming exploit. But that would leave the hooking part.

> The game runs on a Nintendo GameCube, a 24-year-old console with a 485 MHz PowerPC processor, 24MB of RAM, and absolutely no internet connectivity.

In fact, Nintendo did release an official add-on called the Broadband Adapter, which plugged into the bottom expansion port and provided an Ethernet jack. Only a handful of games supported it, one was Phantasy Star Online. I also used it to stream games/roms from a PC. This worked by exploiting a memory vulnerability in Phantasy Star Online to load arbitrary code over the network, though with slower load times compared to running from disc.

Thank you. Which is currently the most capable version running reasonably fast on a 3090 (24GB of VRAM)?
