41,813,219 | comment | zero_k | 2024-10-11T20:12:14 | null | It doesn't need to be good at <i>solving</i> the problem. It only needs to be good at <i>translating</i> the problem of "If the unknown x is divided by 3 it has the same value as if I subtracted 9 from it" into "x/3 == x-9 && x is an Real number". The formal method tool will do the rest.<p>Note that if the LLM gets the implicit assumptions wrong, the solution will be unsatisfactory, and the query can be refined. This is exactly what happens with actual human experts, as per the anecdote I shared in [3]. So the LLM can replace some of the human-in-the-loop that makes it so hard to use formal methods tools. Humans are good at explaining the problem in human language, but have difficulty formulating them in ways that a formal tool can deal with. Humans, i.e. consultants, help with formalizing them in e.g. SMT. We could skip some of that, and make formal methods tools much more accessible. | null | null | 41,813,163 | 41,812,523 | null | [

They almost feel a faint ‘whoosh’ sound in their heads,” Papp explained. “Sometimes, people feel as if the brain stops for a moment and reboots like a computer.”<p>I wouldn't say I could hear my eyes moving (!), but I definitely noticed that eye movements or a turn of the head could trigger a brain zap.

41,813,232 | comment | vlovich123 | 2024-10-11T20:13:07 | null | > AAPL and MSFT create value for their customers.<p>And a similar argument could be made that Bitcoin creates value for its customers. You might disagree with that but the people buying bitcoin would probably disagree with you. To me that seems like subjectivity.<p>Similarly for AAPL and MSFT - the stock price is a measure of a gamble on future earnings not how much value they create for their customers. Indeed high margin businesses like AAPL shouldn’t even exist under an intrinsic theory of value because a large part of the 30% markup is because of social cred and network effects. That’s not really value creation.<p>> I beg to differ.<p>Can you please describe it in more detail because this directly contradicts what little I know about economics.<p>If I’m understanding your position, it seems like you’re arguing that value is some intrinsic property.<p>That mechanism however is rejected in the Wealth of Nations, because of things such as the diamond-water paradox. Diamonds are fairly useless (or at least were moreso when the treatise was written) but still cost more than water which is crucial to life. If value is represented of the intrinsic value, why would that be?<p>This paradox is interestingly resolved by the subjective theory of value which has a similar solution to marginalism which says basically that while the first units of water are valuable, if you have excess of what you need it you won’t want more. Whereas because diamonds are rare you will want more of them and are only bounded by your storage constraints.<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_theory_of_value" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_theory_of_value</a><p>> A combination of both labour and subjective theories can be seen in the formulations of English economist Alfred Marshall. He argued that prices are determined by both the objective costs of production, the supply, and the subjective utility of consumers, the demand. This approach is in line with the modern conception of how market prices are determined, where both the demand and supply curves intersect.[9] This is in contrast to other 19th century theories which view costs through a type of subjective value lens. Since the subjective value holds that buyers use their own value judgements, the same goes for sellers, and thus the mechanism of production. Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises believes that production costs are determined by a seller's evaluations of their opportunity costs, or the sellers "marginal utility lost of having fewer of that good".[10] Under this, supply curves are also set by subjective preferences.<p>So it’s pretty well established economic theory that the important factors for value are the perceived value of something (demand) and the cost to produce it (supply). But there’s no objective intrinsic way to measure value because it doesn’t exist as it’s a product of supply (objective based on cost to produce) and demand (subjective based on perceived value). | null | null | 41,811,642 | 41,802,823 | null | null | null | null |

Sure, it can artificially make you much more interested in not consuming so many calories and/or perhaps being more active than before - but you have to continue that lifestyle after stopping the drug.<p>Will Ozempic users have developed the personal discipline to prevent themselves from relapse without the drug - or will they forever be on a the yo-yo of weight gain/loss? | null | null | 41,812,815 | 41,811,263 | null | [

The gov subsidy has nothing to do with my personal health choices. My grocery store has the same fresh fruits & vegetable sections grocery stores in Europe have. I am lucky to live in a state whose dominate grocery store sources regional meats & produce, sells their own brand of food made fully or mostly with ingredients I can pronounce, and has complete whole food prepared meals for 1-2 people that take 25mins in the oven. [for the same price as fast food]<p>It's part of the reason I <i>choose</i> not to move. Other choices are a standing desk with a walking pad, which makes it trivial to walk 3-4+ miles a day. I could make more money studying leetcode and living in "elite" tech valley, or hustling for more work instead of choosing myself over the large house in swank community that <i>society</i> has picked as what is "success" for me. Eventually I chose to take less of what "they" told me to choose; at some point we have to realize the only person that is going to live with our choices is ourself. If GLP-1s is needed to help people get back or get to that point of realization, then maybe it's a blessing to undo all the ills we(society made up of our neighbors) all contributed to creating. | null | null | 41,812,380 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

Floating point addition and multiplication is non-associative and the order of operations affects the correctness and performance. Developers might (unknowningly) trade performance for correctness. And it matters a lot more in the low precision modes we operate today. Just try different methods of summing a vector containing 9,999 fp16 ones in fp16.

But LLMs can do this in principle, for the aforementioned reasons (moving data around, applying context-sensitive rules). The practical issues of the current architectures and training paradigms are legitimate. But Gary Marcus's claims generally are a complete rebuke of LLMs as a class being capable of reasoning in any capacity. That's where his arguments fail. But he doesn't give interlocutors a fair read, completely ignores counter-evidence, and is generally dishonest in promoting his viewpoint. | null | null | 41,813,038 | 41,812,523 | null | null | null | null |

To be honest I didn't even look at his name, I just skimmed the piece and had that sort of, "oh, it's this all over again," reaction.<p>> When he started connectionism was the underdog camp, and he’s lived to see it take over AI to such an extreme extent that most laypeople would honestly say that AI didn’t exist until, like, 5 years ago. I think we can all relate to how frustrating that must feel!<p>I absolutely agree.<p>In some sense the definition of AI has always evolved with time - think of how much of what was considered AI research at places like MIT in the 1950s is now thought of as being just algorithms and data structures, for example - but it has infuriated me how quickly the majority of people have equated AI with, really, just LLMs, leaving much of the rest of the field out in the cold, as it were.<p>It can be kind of frustrating as well when using an LLM isn't going to be the best approach - where for example ML might be a better approach with large numeric datasets, but it doesn't even get a look in in the conversation, and isn't seen as cutting edge. In some sense, that's fair, a lot of what people do with ML nowadays isn't cutting edge, but in business, it doesn't <i>have</i> to be cutting edge, it just has to be useful and deliver value.<p>Definitely annoying. | null | null | 41,812,987 | 41,812,523 | null | null | null | null |
