I think the real breakthroughs will come from some randos or some researchers, not sure if throwing huge amounts of money to something is always the solution, otherwise many diseases would have been dealt with already.

It learns through the context. The context is state.
There's a bit of a cheat that's going on here though in that the model is being given the fundamental integration operations as part of the problem. That means the model hasn't had to learn what they are. It might not have needed to be given them, but it does feel like that's giving the model a leg up in the benchmarks that it wouldn't otherwise have, and when there's a direct comparison to (e.g.) DeepSeek, that's an unfair advantage.
Does the massive context still needs to be dragged around? Until get a neural network that adjusts weights in real time without relying on a huge clump of context being cycled there, I don't think there will be an AGI or even an impressive "agent". Current agents are just LLM looping lmao sold to people with no knowledge how they work at all.
I keep hearing this comment everywhere Claude is mentioned, as if there is a coordinated PR boost on social media. My personal experience with Claude 3.5 however is, meh. I don't see much difference compared to GPT-4 and I use AI to help me code every day.
Yeah they really like to mention it everywhere, like yeah it's good but imo not as good as some people make it out to be. I have used it recently for libgdx on kotlin and there are things where it struggles, and the code it sometime gives it's not really "good" kotlin but it takes a good programmer to know what is good and what is not
Thank you for everything.
My mom just passed from ALS and now this. It's so unfair that we have essentially no working treatments for these, even though they always tout how advanced medicine is but I feel like it really is not advanced at all

A cure for baldness is one of those holy grail drugs like a drug to treat obesity, or a drug to de-age your skin. The profit on this is potentially vast and Im assuming the 10 year patent limit wont apply to it.
I guess it's not a full cure but dutasteride is pretty close to one if you start taking it before being like fully bald.
What would the cure be really? Some daily pill that would regrow the hair or just some one time therapy? I don't think it is coming any time soon.

took 1 pill, pp fell off
tl;dr While it can have undesirable side effects, these are long-term. But these side effects make it a powerful nocebo for some people to the point where they almost instantly get side effects (nausea, anxiety, sexual dysfunction), despite that being pharmacologically improbable.
It's mostly nocebo, they read about it online for weeks and then try it, and at that point they are so psyched out that they keep watching for every little thing, effectively making it a self fulfilling prophecy.
I started dutasteride when I was 20 and have been on it for many years and it really stops hair loss, because my hair loss was very fast and aggressive.

I don't really get it though? So he is basically arguing that there is nothing we can do and the maximum age is set in stone? I mean yes, without intervention it kind of is. But I wouldn't bet that in some time there will be an intervention or effective suite of interventions that can reverse aging. Will it happen soon? No probably not, I don't believe that in my life time and I am in my mid twenties, but at some point yes.
It would be nice though if they could come with stuff so we could all die like Queen Elizabeth, very fast at old age without long term illness. I read it is quite common with centenerians.
My mom just died from ALS some months ago and there has been lot of money put into that research and only stuff there are is few lousy treatments that barely do nothing, same with Alzheimers so I am nowadays very skeptical of any medical research and mentally prepared that if I get something I am good as dead
Equality doesn't mean that everything is equal.
If you are 6'5 heigh equality could mean that smaller people sit or stand in front of you.
For woman it doesn't mean they have to go to military but could.
I don't really get the military part tbh. When I went to army back in my country where it was only mandatory for men (but they always love preaching about equality), many of the men were such slobs that random women would have been much better suited for it.
Showed this to my gf, she said Indian/Pakistani guys are the worst on Messenger/Whatsapp, like to always start the conversation with dick pics. So I guess this makes some sense but I do feel bit discriminated :D
I really don't understand these men who send the dick picks. Like does it actually work with some women? In my experience women tend to be very different to men in that regard, but I guess it has work some time because so many keep always doing it. I just find it really repulsive.

Looks like this is another application of the ninety-ninety rule: getting to the stage where you can make incredible demos has required 90% of the effort, and the last 10% to make it actually reliable will require the other 90% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety%E2%80%93ninety_rule).
Isn't it a bit similar situation with the self driving cars?
