Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 21 July 2024

awful.systemsStubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 21 July 2024 - awful.systemsNeed to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret. Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no. If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high. > The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be) > >Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

a hackernews excitedly states that a new LLM version can in fact determine that 9.11 is smaller than 9.9, only to be informed in the comments that the model actually doesn’t do that at all. But hey, it’s correct if it’s version numbers!

@gerikson @dgerard God almighty I hate these insufferable fucking people so much

Naive question: will scaling laws be sufficient for reliable reasoning, or are transformer architectures incapable of that? It's not a naive question at all: it's a very nuanced and controversial question in at least two major ways.

@gerikson @dgerard "is there a chance the track could bend?"
