Okay I misread that title as “Casio made a One Ring alternative”
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 5 days ago:
I think that’s still different from what I’m thinking of of interim steps, though.
…but as I think how to explain I realize I’m about to blather about things I don’t understand, or at least haven’t had time to think about! So I’d better leave it there!
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 5 days ago:
I reckon we can get a lot closer than an LLM in time. For one thing, the mind has particular understanding of interim steps whereas, as I understand it, the LLM has no real concept of meaning between the inputs and the output. Some of this interim is, I think, an important part of how we assess truthfulness of generated ideas before we put them into words.

That is a good point, though the architecture of computer neutral networks is inspired by how we think the brain works, and if I understand correctly there is some definite similarity in the architecture.
Lots of difference though, still!
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 5 days ago:
Not advanced maths per se; neural networks are amazing! Fuzzy matching based on experience - taken to an incredible level. And, tuneable by internal simulation (imagination).

Blue blood may be cool, but red blood is better for you.
=> Nobility is fashionable, but it’s healthier to be a peasant.
Also, from this table I learn that Europeans of ages past were ruled by octopodes.

No, your honour, I did not wear blackface to trivialise the suffering of people who came from Africa. I wore blackface to hide from Facebook Glasses.

- Comment on I don't know the difference between hay and straw 1 month ago:
From different plants. Straw is from, I think, cereals (wheat, barley, etc) whereas hay is from grass(es?).

- Comment on Hammerheads sharkz 1 month ago:
“They called him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning…” But Hammerhead is a baddie and sharks aren’t supposed to be baddies any more. Sharks are friends, not threats. So Hammerhead slipped quietly into the distance to await his time of glory, when one day he will return to rule the Ocean with an iron
fisthead.Incidentally, dolphins have had a troubled role-reversal in the fashion of popular opinion too. They were friends! Companions! Even amusements for a while, before everyone agreed they should be free. Now they are wanton rapists and bullies. Shed a tear for the poor, maligned dolphin, carrying the disgrace of his ill-behaved friends and relations. All Dolphins Are Not Bad.
One day the Bottlenose and the Hammerhead will return as friends, splendorous and loved. But will they find the World worthy of their love? Or will they leave, with a parting farewell, and a thanks for all the fish.

Seriously?

- Comment on C++ should be called ++C 1 month ago:
Nah, because when you write it it’s just C, but when you come back later to check your code it’s gotten bigger and more obfuscated.
