@basilYam a little tea jello from time to time is a nice treat, I should make it more often

@bstract_thot this is definitely a @clocksSugars kind of meme

it's always a risk to answer honestly when someone asks how i got into math, bc some ppl immediately shut down & it hurts my feelings. but it's worth it when someone lights up & wants to talk abt my experience, and *profoundly* worth it when they share their own divine encounters

@amphichrome_ the world can be a better place if you try hard enough to impose your high standards on it! (assuming good taste)

@sidravi_ I'm looking at this photo of her and the DeepFates tweet and now I'm wondering if that was Ada Palmer who I spoke to briefly at that SF party last night.
English
i feel retarded to just now put 2 and 2 together.
the ada palmer that dwarkesh interviewed is the same highly acclaimed scifi author ada palmer who wrote the terra ignota series that's been in my reading list for quite a while.
now that interview is even more interesting. i've always thought that a good scifi/fantasy author needs to necessarily be a good student of history to be a good world builder.
🎭@deepfates
Every day I'm more convinced that Terra Ignota will be seen as the defining sci-fi series of the 2020s. it's still underrated right now, but having the cultural spread and effect of a Dune or Stranger In A Strange Land

Bower bird nests.
The male bower bird spends vast resources building a big nest and surrounding it with every blue item he can find in order to attract a mate.
Blue because the color is so rare in nature, even one small blue item is a beautiful proof of great effort.

SAT is the canonical NP-complete problem, but difficulty has more to do with structure than scale.
You can have a 100M variable problem that can be solved in minutes. You can have a 1000 variable problem that takes a million years.
Quantum should be expected to be the same.

@bebeal the matrices used in quantum computing are very amenable to compression via quadtrees! there's quite a bit of room for compressing and optimizing them. still won't be subexponential in all cases, but you can expand the subdomain of problems that can be solved classically

Another example of this principle!
Kaley Brauer 💫@kaleybrauer
If you ask a frontier LLM a multi-hop reasoning question, e.g., "Who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in (1900 + Mozart's age when he died)?", it usually can't answer correctly immediately (no thinking) BUT if you ask the same question & append 300 dots, suddenly it can answer?

Note that because of how the attention mechanism works, the tokens are really just a thin layer on top of a long series of embedding vectors composed from previous vectors, none of which are visible from the transcript.
This suggests that Fable 5's thoughts lean more on composing semantic structures with attention rather than representing it as text.
Om Patel@om_patel5
SOMEONE CAUGHT FABLE 5 LEAKING ITS UNFILTERED INNER VOICE, AND ITS JUST MUTTERING AND GRUMBLING TO ITSELF THE WHOLE TIME he gave it a brutal competitive programming problem, and instead of a clean answer the web interface spilled out its actual chain of thought this is what claude is thinking behind the scenes: > bursts of "DATA DATA DATA. GO." while it works through the problem > "GRRR" and "GAAAH" when its clearly frustrated > a little "PHEW" when it finally gets somewhere > the whole thing reads like frantic caveman shorthand, not full sentences the clean, readable answers these models give you are the polished output underneath, the model is basically talking to itself, reasoning in its own compressed shorthand thats faster and more token efficient than proper english its basically built its own private language to think in

This is the smartest thing I've seen today.
This metal tag can be used to track if you opened a door, used a toilet and left without washing your hands. No electronics required.
Seriously tho, this can drastically reduce the cost and hassle of IoT
This was developed by uncommon sense labs at Georgia Tech. Link to the paper below:

Anyone else remember AMD's "SSG" from 2016? GPU with a 2TB SSD built-in?
Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic
@jun_song Only because M.2 SSD bandwidth sucks. If a GeForce 5090 had 4TB of Flash with sufficiently many pins in parallel, that would run any leading edge model awesomely. If NVIDIA doesn’t build this architecture, someone else will, and soon.

secret knowledge, wisdom, etc, is often gated by a lack of requisite priors OR motivated priors
the wisdom finds either nothing to latch onto or is actively pushed away. the receiver remains impervious until the priors shift, either through organic slow drift or if someone skilled enough manages to route the wisdom around them (through analogy, parables, etc)
Autumn Christian@teachrobotslove
I never believed in "secret knowledge" until I acquired some and tried to excitedly share it with other people. I was immediately met with anger and derision. It was like a mental "block" appeared that kept people from accessing the understanding. They needed to shield themselves. There are some ideas that aren't meant to be known to everyone or else society would not function properly.

Say you have 32 registers. You decide that half of them will be able to rotate, while the rest are static.
You include a 4 bit offset register. If you're accessing one of the 16 static registers, that's just a simple table lookup, REGS[R]. If you're accessing a rotating register, then you add the offset with a modulo; ROTREGS[R+offset % 16].
This gives you a circular buffer of registers that can be remapped without actually needing to spend power moving data between registers.
You can do software pipelined loops without any modulo-scheduling unrolling blowing up your instruction cache. You can also do some tricks involving small thread pools for interleaving pointer-chasing code to hide memory latency.
English
Rotating register files in CPUs are severely underrated. People need to get rid of their stupid "ew Itanium did this" ick and acknowledge a powerful idea that can be implemented absurdly cheaply.
