I want Opus to be only marginally better, but I do mostly research engineering and its ability to not fuck up my projects is absent. Every time my credits lapse I let kimi and composer2.5 have some play and it’s basically just an excuse for me to keep playing computer because when the oai/ant credits refresh I always need to spend hours recovering from the other models either misconceptions or boneheaded eng practices. Even when I only let it touch my web games…

separately trained experts can surpass performance in their activated regime and DOES result in a smarter model, the Claude system cards talk about this and eg there is https://openreview.net/forum?id=iydmH9boLb to read...

There's only so much to do and coordination costs (already burdensome) become overwhelming.

I was somewhat surprised to learn that phi is _merely_ (1 + √5)/2, I didn't have a good conception of what it was at all but I didn't think it was algebraic.

well, your loss then. clearly your work steps aren’t big enough to benefit from SoA LLM

What's stopping you at pasting only a single file? I use the workflow Elon suggests (although I've never used it with Grok) predominately, it's well over 30% of my use of LLMs. I have a small piece of python called "crawlxml" that filters + dumps into tags. And of course the LLM doesn't need your actual code in its context to do its job.

everyone in this thread needs to read this paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3411497.3420225

Where’s Waldo as presented isn’t even a proof of knowledge

Whoa there boss, extremely tough for you to casually assume that there is a consistent or complete metascience / metaphysics / metamathematics happening in human realm, but then model it with these impoverished machines that have no metatheoretic access.

This is really sloppy work, I'd encourage you to look deeper into how (eg) HOL models "theories" (roughly corresponding to your idea of "frame") and how they can evolve. There is a HOL-in-HOL autoformalization. This provides a sound basis for considering models of science.

Noncomputability is available in the form of Hilbert's choice, or you can add axioms yourself to capture what notion you think is incomputable.

Basically I don't accept that humans _do_ in fact do a frame jump as loosely gestured at, and I think a more careful modeling of what the hell you mean by that will dissolve the confusion.

Of course I accept that humans are subject to the Goedelian curse, and we are often incoherent, and we're never quite surely when we can stop collecting evidence or updating models based on observation. We are computational.

from my experience washing some mediocre amphetamine cooks,

the fishy smell is not characteristic of pure amphetamine, but leftover methylamines from synthesis.

vyvanse adds a lysine but none of these amines are free. it’s odorless as well, but any lysine esthers leftover will stank.

it was shit product

it’s definitely a blog post or article and not a paper, this isn’t structured as a paper and is missing a lot of the things expected from a paper.

and it is so wonderful for it:)

Well, if the exposure isn’t chronic, there might be a hormetic effect? Radiation dosage is the “classical” example of hormesis

Check out the requirements in AUTOSAR and MISRA, it’s more than just certifying some golden toolchain.

Although Ferrocene is working on that as well :) https://ferrocene.dev/en/
