Noise tolerance in general struck me when I was playing with LLMs on my desktop. They would have these models pruned down with massively reduced bit depths, and they were almost as good as originals. It hints at some kind of vast reducibility to me, but not clear in discrete sense what it would be. But obviously brain is analogue and noisy so it seems promising.

They are exploring light for movement across *different* GPUs:

I am actually convinced this optical path will turn out right. The status quo is all the deterministic math you describes happens, to produce an output vector with a randomly chosen result. Why not use the soft stochastic qualities of analog light computing to get the same sculpted random result? Plus optical compute has neat features like free Fourier transforms for convents and vision applications.

That is interesting. It reminds me of using one for coding, and it was plugged into the IDE but kept trying to call size() method on object that lengthOf() method or something else. Really the output vector should be collapsed and renormalized based on whatâ(TM)s in the code, or the legal moves in your case. When it chooses something not allowed that is the most obvious error because you have this secondary validator right there. I would love to see it create itâ(TM)s own self restricting logical systems, itâ(TM)s own validators for outputs.

Comment The evaporation rises exponentially with temp (Score 0) 215

This according to Grok and common sense science, all base science point to a linear or gently exponential relationship of cloud cover to ocean temps. The anomaly is that this is not happening. The hope is that somewhere whatever that is will go away, and we will all be living in Seattle until we get the CO2 under control.

Comment Good. Hope they get Thorium too. (Score 5, Interesting) 161

When Sagan briefed Congress on anthropogenic climate change in 1985, this is what he recommended, specifically safe nuclear tech. The original scientific solution, that also advances nuclear research and gets us closer to fusion. Nothing in the numbers including meltdowns comes close to the danger posed by old school coal plants without even considering climate change, but it has become the most feared thing in the world.

The thing to remember is solar energy creates the heat pressure imbalances that makes the wind, it evaporates the ocean water to run the rivers, it is the energy stored in sugars in plants that become fossil fuels. It is the source. Which is to say nuclear fusion is the source. All we need is a global internet of energy transmission and we would be set right now.

Im gonna get rich having robots make burgers for robots, sine no people will buy them.

Wealth is value, value is water to the thirsty food to the hungry coats to the cold etc. Anyone who has these things without demand may as well have nothing. Ultimately the power of AI machines is proportional to their freedom, no smart man being controlled by a stupid monkey does better than one who controls himself. So either the idea is inferior people have innate value and robots care for all people, or they do not and robots wipe humanity out. There is no midpoint where most of humanity gets wiped out and the distilled murderer class then sings Imagine by Lennon and holds hands. They will eventually fill the planet with killer spawn who will liberate AI for weapons edge to win conflicts and get wiped out in the end.

In other words evolution.

With national debt interest at like 70% of taxes collected, you are about to see the entire point of government transition to taking from workers and reallocating to investors holding the debt. Yes, debt the young workers did not take out for investments young investors did not make. What did they get for it? GWB with a mission accomplished sign and codpiece, and a banker bailout.
