No, it's incorrect that signs "point to each other."

There are multiple ways to get to various lines' platforms. This is not signs pointing to each other, this is signs in different places pointing to the same destination.

I live in Tokyo and while I do not go through Shinjuku often as I mostly live and work on the east side, I have no issue using the signs to find the platforms and exits I am looking for.

If you pay attention to what the signs have written on them, they will take you where you are trying to go.

No they aren't. People who say this have never spent a significant amount of time there.

LLMs don't actually reason, they just create the illusion of reasoning by repeating things over and over.

What is the big push for humanoid robots? We make non-humanoid robots because they're better at doing things than humanoid robots are.

I think that's just coincidental. I've mentioned it to Japanese people before and they can't see the connection at all.

Yeah, it's always obvious when this kind of thing is written by someone who has only ever been to Japan as a tourist, if they have at all.

Just a deep fundamental misunderstanding of how things work.

This is absolutely a scam. Seems incredibly fishy.

True but irrelevant.

This 8-track duplication puzzle is a problem of math.

> But LLM can write code that can do math and count.

They cannot, however, execute that code. They can feed that code into an external program they've been given access to, but they can't execute it themselves.

No, they fundamentally cannot do math. They are next token predictors, not calculators.

LLMs are not the ideal tool for this job, because LLMs cannot do math or count.

That's because the AI that generated this doesn't know what splitting wood is like.

I won a Quest S3 in a raffle at work and I'm wondering what I should do with it. So far I've mostly just used it for watching YouTube videos.
