you mean like how when gpt figured out how to start the oven?

tangenially it would be interesting to analyze what infinite structures can be represented with infinite EML trees

this should be a tangential proof for the dying bunch of people who still believe that LLMs are just parrots. EML are literally a new invention

as long as it's new I tremendously enjoy binge watching Claude: I have three tabs open and if one of them is not doing something interesting I just switch to a different channel, and occasionally influenced the narrative

you deserve a high value metal medal

The article basically claims that LLMs are bad at politics and poker which is both not true (at least if they receive some level of reinforcement learning after sweep training)

you are living in the past these models have been trained on image data for ages, and one interesting find was that even before that they could model aspects of the visual world astonishingly well even though not perfect just through language.

they do model the world. Watch Noble price winner Hinton or let's admit that this is more of a religious question then the technical.

you are correct the token representation gets abstracted away very quickly and is then identical for textual or image models. It's the so-called latent space and people who focus on next token prediction completely missed the point that all the interesting thinking takes place in abstract world model space.

someone might build enough hype around it to challenge the oligopoly.

As for training on existing browsers: they are trained on the whole corpus of the human thought process and can take many insights from other fields into the browser, they can write a browser in a completely new language without just transpiring but building it from first principles or as karparthy calls it spec based programming.

rust compiler and redox operating system with modified Qemu for Mac Vulcan metal pipeline ... probably not junior stuff

you might think I'm kidding but Search redox on github, you will find that project and the anonymous contributions

this is the whole message of this hype that you can churn out 500 commits a day relatively confidently the way you have clang churn out 500 assemblies without reading them. We might not be 100% there but the hype is looking slightly into the future and even though I don't see the difference to Claude code, I tend to agree that this is the new way to do things even if something breaks on average it's safe enough

what still doesn't click for me is what can it do that Claude can't do

these verbs seem appropriate when you accept neutral (MLP) activation as excitement and DL/RL as decision processes (MDPs...)
