So it's a plain vanilla ABM with lots of human crafted interaction logic? So they are making outrageous claims - since they are making it sound like it's all spontaneously arising from the interaction of LLMs...

Which of his suggestions would "make the city stop working"?

Nah, you've got it backwards. The article isn't about dodging understanding - it's about making it way easier to spot patterns in your code. And that's exactly how you start to really get what's going on under the hood. Better searching = faster learning. It's like having a good map when you're exploring a new city

Can anyone explain how an LLM is useful here? The clustering is done traditionally right? Then the llm is given the centroids and asked to give a label? Assumption being that the llm corpus already contained some mapping from gene up/down regulations to clusters of differentiation?

Nobody is being cut off from anywhere - their route is being made longer in order to avoid residential areas - their journeys would be quicker if they walked they just don't want to...and that is the point highly polluting journeys are being disincentivised...if you absolutely must drive then you need to set off earlier this isn't an attack on people's civil liberties you have no right to drive somewhere..

Exactly this! It all boils down to people being pissed that their car journey in London takes longer than it used to - nobody is actually being blocked from getting anywhere just their route is being changed - somehow this has been wrapped up in the 15 minute conspiracy...

Tbh I was not including the second one in the poo - I think the 1st and 2nd albums are both equally good in their own ways!

Fascist! How dare you suggest I shouldn't ever go further than 15 minutes to access necessary resources to live my life! It's my god given right to spend at least an hour in traffic to get to the doctors...

/s there is actually a whole movement of people in the UK that beleive the very idea of a 15 minute city is a conspiracy to limit their freedoms...

This is what I clicked on this link for - a masterpiece shame later albums all got a bit poo

That's not what it shows at all - it shows how varying hyper parameters (which are floats and thus can be set at any arbitary precision) effects the speed at which convergence happens - so its some function F: R^n -> Z - it has literally nothing to do with the nodes in the neural network...

Same can be said for the madelbtot set or any other fractal - there is a physical bound on the precision of the values - you can in theory run a NN with arbitary precision floats...

"small changes in the hyperparameters can lead to large changes in training dynamics"

This is the definition of Chaos though no? Butterfly flaps its wings, hurricane on other side of the planet...

Thanks!! I was also under the impression Fractals required self similarity and not just infinite detail but glad to have that misconception corrected!

I think it probably stems from the fact that all the fractals, I have seen, for which the dimension can be analytically calculated do show obvious patterns of similarity at different scales.

This is what I Initially thought too but I am less certain now - I assumed Fractal implied self similarity (which this doesn't seem to have) but this is in fact not true - I think to actually say if its fractal or not someone needs to estimate its dimension using box counting or some, way beyond me, analytical method.
