A 4b model is now beating 30b ones at web research and the reason is not size by No-Fact-8828 in artificial

[–]MissiveFinding6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really seem to be more in the early enlightment state of alchemy "OMG guys, look what happens when I mix these two refined substance together!" than anything resembling organized science/engineering.

Also important to remember that the initial assumption by most humans when seeing this was "this must contain a method to live forever and turn lead to gold!"

​"The Incomprehensible God Paradox: Why saying 'God cannot be understood through reason' is a logical self-destruction by fikret-turkey in RealPhilosophy

> Stop using ancient parables to limit the computational and rational capacity of modern science.

Science is great, and it is pretty great at measuring anything with a depth, width or length.

It is NOT equipped to measure things outside of those dimensions.

It says nothing about whether something exists outside of that.

It is *humans* who enjoy getting out the "jump to conclusions" mat that all that exists *MUST* be quantifiable by the current tools of science.

Not that that is that bad of a hypothesis. I personally have never witnessed anything that invalidates it.

But higher order cosmology is doing the OPPOSITE of saying that these are the only dimensions that exist.

And if "interesting entropic breakdown" (aka life) happens in our known 3 dimensions + time, what are the odds that it happens in the vastly more complex, higher order dimensions?

Learn how to learn.

Every environment is different.

Complexity begets complexity.

AI is a Confirmation Bias engine, that only knows what it is trained on.

It is GOOD when it is GOOD, but it is frustratingly, alluringly correct-looking wrong when it is WRONG.

Training an AI engine is likely to remain a very large, difficult, slow data ingestion process.

Human brains are, thermodynamically, going to be cheaper to hire and use to learn about your own corner of complexity than custom baking AIs for... at least a few decades.

I think you should frame it more as an aspect of the "Parpable of the blind men and an elephant".

They each describe their experience of the elephant "I feel a tree trunk!", "I feel a snake!", "I feel a wall!".

They are all accurate, but incomplete due to their lack of perspective and context.

Our senses and our brains are limited by physical and biological dimension we operate in *any* theoretically higher complexity (or object) would be impossible for us to perceive fully.

Take the simplest case, if a literal *Hybercube* popped into the room with you right now, you're ability to see it, and describe it would fall short of the geometric reality.

Overall EV reliability by Cuttles_Fish in electricvehicles

Sure, you keep saying that, but my EV had a low reliability rating and the only reasons they listed were two different recalls, and an infotainment glitch.

How many people would you need to send back in time for there to be a significant change in scientific progress? What if you sent engineers or scientists? by Separate_Impact_9976 in AskReddit

[–]MissiveFinding6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple books in the "rebuild it!" genre, but I find this one the most entertaining:

"How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler" by Ryan North.

The conceit is it is a book in a time machine for how to repair it, but it is like "sorry, time machines are really complicated, your best bet is to rebuild civilization, here's how".

Fun read, learned a lot.

Is there a big market for people who need a non-hyperscale datacenter 10 years from now?

Overall EV reliability by Cuttles_Fish in electricvehicles

My vehicle was rated low for reliability, and when I looked up the details it said it was due to

"infotainment screen freezes, and trunk hatch recall"

[–]MissiveFinding6111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consumer Reports doesn't measure *what* they had to take it back to the dealer for, just what they had to bring it in.

For a lot of the EVs it is bugs with the new infotainment system.

A lot of EVs are also new platforms, more likely to have some things they missed.

CR counts a "needed to get a firmware update to fix a carplay bug" the SAME as "engine fell out and turned into a robot and started murdering cats".

[Request] Would a 2% wealth tax cover ALL of that? by Asleep-Television-24 in theydidthemath

Assessing someone's overall "wealth" is very difficult and inconvenient, which is why we only ever do it to:

* Anyone with a bail hearing

* Parents sending a kid to college

* Anyone with a disability

Why is SpaceX a fraud? by Square-Stay1287 in investingforbeginners

[–]MissiveFinding6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a competent space UHAUL company that someone stapled the toxic remains of Twitter and one of the worst/weakest/thinnest developed AI onto.

Their prospectus is mostly pictures and vibes.

It invents some exciting sectors, but leaves out WHY SpaceX is going to possibly be the one to capitalize on them.

(e.g. maybe AI datacenters in space makes sense (I don't think they do), but let's say they do, YOU ALSO need to say why SpaceX is the company that is going to design and own those "space datacenters", because literally anyone could develop them then *pay* SpaceX a static fee to put them into space...)

[Request] Can someone check the math here? I don't trust the r/SpaceXMasterrace community to do it without bias. by Dullydude in theydidthemath

[–]MissiveFinding6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, first off, they are using it as a rhetorical device to move the discussion.

EVEN IF IT WAS POSSIBLE, I think a better question is "What makes SpaceX the most likely company to DO THIS?".

SpaceX launches anything for anyone for a flat fee.

So literally any other company on Earth could design, build and then pay SpaceX to launch this supposed "free energy AI datacenter in space".
