This would be impossible to get past ethical review in any institution who has such a thing. You'd be forcing people to have a trip, which may or may not be pleasant for them, for days, with no guidance on wtf is happening to them. Depending on the person, that's some pretty heavy trauma.

You could tell people what to expect, but that ruins the blind part. I still think you'd have no chance of passing review anyway.

95GB active is not _too_ bad, would require some creativity and $$, but I bet I could do that at home for less than a cheap car.

Since the models are open, there's other infra providers who have different policies.

Actual white noise indeed sounds really bad and grating. The best for me was a mix of pink and brown noise, pink for an ~equal baseline and brown to make it sound a little more mellow.

I suspect most/all generators meant to block out noise do something similar. It really sounds pretty bad without that, especially for anything more than a few seconds.

Your other point is valid, but you're either vastly underestimating how many reads/writes a modern SSD can take or vastly overestimating how much output a typical LLM is capable of.

My personal guess is he figured out later that his proof was broken or limited and never got around to fixing it.

Coal competes with literally everything else, and it loses to every single one of them. It's a terrible, terrible fuel. Burn natgas instead and you're already magnitudes better off.

Coal only exists today in the US because our politics is broken beyond belief.

You should _want_ that to happen, otherwise the only people who can do reviews will be the few who can afford to spend thousands for hardware they don't want or need.

I don't think it's all resident in memory on the 3090 but it runs fast enough for use, I'd have to check but it's like 30 t/s or so, fast enough that it doesn't bother me.

I think you're right if your point is that we're more likely to see big breaks in asymmetric crypto, but it's kind of based on vibes to me, it's not really clear that it's provable in any way with anything like our current understanding.

There's a _lot_ hiding in that, all of the interesting stuff for security and potential breaks. So...yeah it is based on complicated math, it's just in that bit instead of the xor.

Even the xor is a bit of a fudge, but probably close enough.

Not much, they're all fairly minor problems that have been solved, of ~entirely niche academic interest. It's so far more just that AI _can_ solve novel math problems, ones that humans didn't accidentally train the answer in and it just spit it back out.

It really doesn't take much for it to be useful, maybe something to search the web?

If you want you can just tell it to write you extensions too, like one to wrap curl so it can get to the web easier for instance. Or just tell it to use curl, really up to you. Just an example to point out: like, do whatever, it's very flexible.
