@tallmarkmusic "Eat It Anyway" has just one more show in Vancouver. Highly recommended! September 19 Just $20 He's been getting rave reviews across the country. vancouverfringe.com/events/t…

Move 37 was new knowledge. Indisputably. Also Gödel’s theorem has nothing to do with the creativity needed to come up with new knowledge. Gödel’s theorem in no way distinguishes between humans and AI and is therefore irrelevant to this discussion.

Serious question: how would you know if you had stumbled across an unprovable statement? Do you mean that you seldom stumble across statements that persistently defy proof?

What is happening in the world where Slate and @alex_kirshner can publish a piece about cross-continental travel for “day trips” and not even consider the environmental aspects? slate.com/technology/2025/07… When did we decide that the planet is going to be fine no matter what we do?

It is not true that DeepSeek-R1 cost ~$5M to train. That was DeepSeek-V3

"We will always find solutions to dangers" is as pure an expression of faith as "God will always protect us from evil."

So I heard that you can get banned from this bastion of free speech by pointing out that @elonmusk admires Nazis (Trump, in particular). Let's see if that's true.

@skdh What does this mean? arxiv.org/html/2409.03680v1 Negative amount of time?

It's a dynamically changing model called `chatgpt-4o-latest` and not recommended for production use because it can change with no notice.

Congratulations @jasontlantz, muselab.com/ looks great! It sounds like you've pulled off some real magic moving Ford/VIIZR to the Produce Development Model. Much more impressive than most case studies I have read.

Ugh...Twitter seems to have swallowed the "https:"

Chrome also visits that site happily. It's paulgraham.com that we're talking about. Try this: $ wget paulgraham.com ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches requested host name ‘paulgraham.com’.

I'm confused what you are upset about. $ curl paulgraham.com/ curl: (60) SSL: no certificate ... curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server. Could not establish a secure connection to it Do we need to "demolish" curl too????

Surely "talk at you and always right" is the defining characteristic of the Weinstein brothers. @pcasey0430, I think you have a "type".

"What is the unifying substrate of all hormones" is a q which we know has an answer (even if it's not much more than "molecules"). Even if we hadn't figured it out yet, we'd know it must be "molecules". What is the unifying substrate of all forces?" may or may not have an answer.

Perhaps fundamental physics is somewhat unique? Biologists can be confident that all biological system are reducible to physical systems. Asking "how does this really work, underneath" will always be fruitful. Physicists have no way to distinguish brute facts from derived ones.

The sum of all of the numbers in the thread.
