it is only called reasoning if a meat brain does it, otherwise itโ€™s just retrieval of approximate algorithms present in the pre-training data mixture

Some commentators (surprise!) didnโ€™t get the key point: that climatologists distinguish between โ€˜thermodynamicโ€™ and โ€˜dynamicโ€™ effects of climate change. So far weโ€™ve mostly seen thermodynamic effects on extremes, but we argue thereโ€™s more: we can now also see changes in dynamics.

#Hurricane #OTIS. Stunning specimen. So much to sayโ€”where to begin? Literally came out of the blueโ€”computer models didn't even hint at this. & now we're looking at direct, Cat-5 hit on #Acapulco, a city of 1 million people. Global models, in particular, failed spectacularly. 1/2

It's not just you, strawberries have less flavor and aroma than they used to. One surprising reason was published this year. No one wants anthracnose and botrytis eating their strawberries, so growers apply a fungicide like Pristine 38WG or Abound 2.08F or Quadris Top 1.67SC.

After the news with Bandcamp and other platforms, I realized musicians could totally put their albums on @itchio. The only thing missing is a media player... So I built one! Scritch is a simple, fully customizable media player designed for music artists ๐ŸŽต

Hackaday Prize 2023: Jumperless, The Jumperless Jumperboard Uses a programmable analog switching matrix. No doubt many of us thought of the rough concept at some point but dismissed it as impractical. Kudos to for what appears to be excellent execution. https://t.co/TREYKy0HXo

Jumperless is a jumperless breadboard with multicolored LED visualization of signals in real-time. Sounds like magic? This beautifully executed entry to the 2023 Hackaday Prize by [Kevin Santo Cappโ€ฆ

'A major part of the Renaissance was the "rediscovery" of Ancient Greek and Roman culture. But it wasn't original Greco-Roman texts they read โ€” it was those copies made by Charlemagne's scribes'

1,255 years ago today Charlemagne was crowned King of the Franks. You've heard of him before, but why is he so famous? Well, it wasn't because of his military conquests. Even though he couldn't read or write, the mighty Charlemagne is important because... he really loved books.

Cutting off Ukraine aid makes America unreliable, weakens the cause of democracy, threatens the international legal order, encourages tyrants around the world, and hastens Chinese aggression.

ChatGPT โ€œprovesโ€ the cube root of 27 is irrational, then computes it to be 3, then admits it was wrong about its irrationality, and then finally, when asked to find its error, claims it was right all along. Undisputed king of BS.

All types of single lenses produce inverted images and must be center-aligned with the object being imaged. A new type of lens circumvents both limitations by shifting light rays rather than bending them https://t.co/hDWNib8oKb #PRXjustpublished #PRXmetamaterials #openaccess
