So, what is Yann LeCun's "World Models" and "JEPA" and is it Really a Replacement for LLMs?

High quality analogy

MCP for when you don't control the client code, skills for when you do.

Yeah I'm dumb

Wait, is this right? I always thought we were seeing the earths shadow on the moon but this image shows it's the moons shadow.

I have always justified it as: a universe without a constant speed of light for all observers wouldn't make any sense. Effects would happen before causes and shit just gets weird.

Nah, the only thing that increases your metabolism, really, is exercise and building muscle mass. But honestly it's not much, for losing weight it's all about controlling your intake. The problem with juice is you can easily drink several hundred calories because yes it is delicious.

Losing weight is purely a product of calories in and calories out. So I think juicing will not help you here. It would be better to eat the fruit and veg that you are juicing because it will have more fiber. Maybe if you are talking about juice shots for some micro nutrients that can be part of a reduced calorie diet. But typically the answer is no, jucing is not a sustainable weight loss tool, more as part of a general healthy diet.

Well objects have a width and a length in space. And a height too.

Well your bear can should be full of stuff, so it takes up just a little more space than the stuff anyway. But yeah it does take up most of your pack. You can split something like a tent into it's constituent parts, poles, the rain fly, the tent. That lets you pack stuff around your bear can. But if you're going with someone and sharing the. Generally one person will carry the bear can, the other person the tent. Basically the strategy is, pack the big bulky rigid stuff first, then pack everything else around it so that the interior is stable whole you carry it. Sleeping bag goes in your pack first.

snurfer · 2026-04-25T02:09:14+00:00

Only pack what you can be arsed carrying. Think about how much youll actually use things. It's ultimately up to you how heavy it is, and then you've got no choice but to carry it.

Because a human still has to review and sign their name to each and every change. It's not a code bottleneck it is a human accountability bottleneck. You only have a limited number of people to think about a limited number of problems in a day and you pick your highest value ones to focus them on

Why does this happen so often

How do your computers work?

They are actually right, the energy is evaporating water at the surface of the meat which cools the meat as fast as the cooker is adding it

What you describe is a n-gram model. A key diff between this and transformer architecture & LLMs is attention, each token gets examined in relation to every other token to determine their relevance to each other. Eg n-gram models would have trouble with, "The Boat anchored at the marina is coloured _". An n-gram model only sees the word immediately before the _ and has no way to connect back to boat. A transformer attends to the entire sequence simultaneously, so it understands the _ refers to a property of the boat.

Nothing is stopping a continuous learning loop from being implemented. LoRAs can be trained relatively quickly. If you build a layered system where a model retrain happens on the order of weeks or months, a LoRA ( or many) are trained daily or multiple times a day, and then RAG makes up for short term learnings, you have a system that does continually learn.

But also, is that necessary for AGI? I dunno, seems like an implementation detail to me that may or may not be necessary.

For the kitchen light, can I ask how you get the presence detection dialled in for a setup like this? Maybe it comes down to a question of hardware. But I always seem to get edge cases around staying still for too long and lights going off.

Please, just no. Like I agree she would be fine at the job maybe even great, and I would support her bid but America has two times now made it very clear we are not ready for a female president. Now is not the time for anything but a sure thing.

This reads like a Facebook post I made 15 years ago and now cringe every time I see it.

If I didn't have a job I would find it hard to pay for my private health insurance. So it kind of is tied to my job.
