Comment Re:Daily Meetings = Imminent Failure (Score 1) 50

Also: they have a superhuman AI, why don't they ask it to design better products to compete with Google? I've been told the world will end because the super sentient AIs are redesigning themselves and taking over any minute now......

But seriously, OpenAI doesn't need daily meetings and code red. They just need to prompt ChatGPT what to do. Are the employees so stupid that they can't even think of that? Pfft.

When folded, the Z-flip is also about twice as thick as a non-folding Galaxy phone, but it's actually more comfortable in a front pants pocket if you climb stairs often enough.

I've experimented with this. It's because the tradeoff lets the folded phone slide around more freely (compared with a larger phone), and that's the key to comfort.

By the same argument, the Z-fold design combines the worst of both the regular, non-folding phones (namely their height is comparable to a pants pocket) and the extra thickness of the Z-flip.

And if that doesn't work, we'll appeal to an even higher authority.

It's already in the works.

The Pope is technically infallible.

He has a direct wifi connection to the Invisible One In The Sky.

So when he gets put to the question, it will take a day, two tops, and he'll relay the Big Boy's exact wishes to the old girls.

You cannot bypass solving the Navier-Stokes equations with transformers. You will, of course, get some predicted flows with a black box model, and you can, if you choose, claim that prediction accuracy is close enough for 85% of the random samples from your test data, but that will not get you new propulsion physics.

There's a serious danger today that a lot of the science which relies on simulated outcomes is subtly wrong in a way that cannot be rejected outright in peer review, but will take many years to discover later.

Comment p-value hacking (Score 1) 63

Sometimes, social scientists who are under pressure to publish, anything, no matter what, to increase their publication count, will propose stupid experiments, that don't cost much to do, do not measure any intrinsic behaviour of humanity, and can be modified trivially to generate alternative papers. The trick is to brainstorm and try out a lot of these, until the p-value finally fits.

Comment Re:Humans cant tell time either (Score 1) 120

It's far from stupid to discuss. It's what you pay OpenAI and Anthropic and Microsoft for. It's why they have the valuations. If you claim the LLMs are subhuman tools then the bubble bursts. And your little 401k goes with it. For someone defending LLMs you appear to have a very contradictory understanding of the industry.

What do humans have to do with super human intelligences? Are you saying that if humans are bad at telling the time, then super human intelligences should be excused for being worse than humans at that task? Did you miss the bit about "super"? It's from Latin, it means "above", "over", "beyond", "better".
