- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 4 days ago:
but this article espouses that llms do the opposite of logic, planning, and reasoning?
quoting:
Claude, on occasion, will give a plausible-sounding argument designed to agree with the user rather than to follow logical steps. We show this by asking it for help on a hard math problem while giving it an incorrect hint. We are able to “catch it in the act” as it makes up its fake reasoning,
are there any sources which show that llms use logic, conduct planning, and reason (as was asserted in the 2nd level comment)?

wait until you hear the concept of contra-entries.
- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 4 days ago:
but there’s been significant research and progress in tracing internals of LLMs, that show logic, planning, and reasoning.
would there be a source for such research?
- Comment on Silicon Valley cities hit with request for residents' emails to train AI 1 week ago:
while i share the sentiment, the ai model here isn’t looking to harvest email ids. their model is to harvest the content of email messages and summarise them into a list of “a citizen’s most pressing concerns”.
aliases will not allay the qualms of such a service.
- Comment on Funny how we see the world in landscape, but live it mostly in portrait. 1 week ago:
a spectacularly healthy dose of cherry-picking with this one.
what about watching movies at the cinema? playing video games on the tv? train carriages? the back seat of a car? double beds? panoramas? the horizon? a computer’s qwerty keyboard? side-by-side boobs? side-by-side arms? the ending shootout of the good, the bad, the ugly? thw viewscreen of the starship enterprise? car windscreens? baby got back? landscape paintings?

how many judge judy cases are about problems caused by runaway children? there’s a reason why laws mandate leashes for dogs – their scope for damage is far higher than is that for toddlers.

screw googling. try saying it yourself without touching lips.
it comes out as “oen”.
- Comment on Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail 5 weeks ago:
following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.
in January, the New Delhi-based firm called for the regulation or blocking of Proton Mail in India, as the email service reportedly refused to share details about the sender of the allegedly offensive emails, despite a police complaint.
this has nothing to do with encryption services offered by proton. any email provider could fall into this pitfall.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 5 weeks ago:
And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?
that’s technically what tariffs do. topologically, it’s the same thing: using policy to give a price advantage to domestic producers.
talk about shopping locally and so forth.
talk gets one only so far. when those numbers start to chomp into the household budget, everyone forsakes the “made in…” label in favour of the price tag.

- Comment on Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell 2 months ago:
is this not just affirming the premise of the sixth book? that’s the whole reason why Potter found the Prince’s spells so fascinating. school subjects are not meant to entertain. they are meant to teach.
also, as book five attests–as well as does the subject of history of magic–some syllabi and some subjects were way more boring than others.
my main gripe would be that nobody taught english or any other form of formal communication at hogwarts. i dunno how they all just didn’t end up speaking like Hagrid.

- Comment on The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying 6 months ago:
is it, though?
a stomach can stretch upto 4 litres in capacity when pushed (one source). that’s 4000cm³ (or 244 cubic inches).
to fill that capacity, the volume of a pizza needs to be 4000cm³ or 244 inch³.
take πr²h = 4000 for thin crust pizzas, if we assume the average height of pizza and toppings as 1cm, our equation simplifies to πr² = 4000; which gives the radius of the pizza as around 36 cms – or a diameter of 72 cms (or 28").
if we take a thicker pizza of an average crust thickness of 1", then our equation for square inches simplifies to πr² = 244. which gives us a radius of about 9" or a diameter of 18".
since most pizzas top out at 12"-14" diameter (thin and thick crust volume varying between 700cm³ to 2600cm³), if anything, we’re nowhere near achieving our full potential!
