Yeah this is oft-repeated by particularly good "lay" engineers.

How does a man even get to this point?

I will tell you how: derangement, a failure to engage with society and the degeneration/depravity of being one step away from making MIDI component improvised explosives and emailing your remaining friends a manifesto.

Ah just kidding, this is pretty sweet.

The car industry has been lobbying congress and locales for 50+ years. Laws like jaywalking were at the behest of car companies, and that alone makes walking legally very difficult in nearly any area with a downtown.

The lack of subsidies certainly don't help. Neither does the insatiable appetite for new cars.

We think of ourselves more intelligent than the generation before us, and more wise than the ones after.

I assume this was 4o? Whenever someone says GPT would be "useless" at the given task, I think they've only tried it with older/dumber models. Almost without fail 4 seems to get the answer right.

I would argue that the neutrino is relatively large compared to the quanta typical of these kinds of tests, but in the abstract they suggested a basketball!

This is a really great experiment. It's nice to see real work being done on the ground with these kinds of tests and write-ups. I am not a physicist but I imagine this could have implications for gravitational wave detection by improving LIGO's optical sensors, maybe optical sensors in general?

Or maybe this could help with tracking time more accurately? Hopefully someone with knowledge can chime in with what this means in practice.

I came here to make this comment as well.

This line of reasoning that LLMs "only predict" the next token is akin to saying humans can only think or speak one word at a time. Yes, we use one token/word at a time, but it is the aggregate thought that matters, regardless of what underlies it.

How do you "fill something with vacuum"?
