So it's a plain vanilla ABM with lots of human crafted interaction logic? So they are making outrageous claims - since they are making it sound like it's all spontaneously arising from the interaction of LLMs...
Nah, you've got it backwards. The article isn't about dodging understanding - it's about making it way easier to spot patterns in your code. And that's exactly how you start to really get what's going on under the hood. Better searching = faster learning. It's like having a good map when you're exploring a new city
The article advocates making code harder to understand for the sake of better search. It's like forcing a city to conform to a nice, clean, readable map: it'll make exploring easier for you, at the cost of making the city stop working.
Can anyone explain how an LLM is useful here? The clustering is done traditionally right? Then the llm is given the centroids and asked to give a label? Assumption being that the llm corpus already contained some mapping from gene up/down regulations to clusters of differentiation?
Fascist! How dare you suggest I shouldn't ever go further than 15 minutes to access necessary resources to live my life! It's my god given right to spend at least an hour in traffic to get to the doctors...
/s there is actually a whole movement of people in the UK that beleive the very idea of a 15 minute city is a conspiracy to limit their freedoms...
The problem is simply one of putting the cart before the horse. Most people simply can’t afford to live within a 15 minute walk of a doctor’s office and there is no real plan in place to fix that.
The plan is to identify where there are a lot of people living but there aren't any doctors offices within 15 minute walk, and then find the optimal places to open new doctors offices to cover as many people as possible that don't currently have a doctors office within a 15 minute walk.
Nobody’s objecting to just sound urban planning. The problem is when you don’t have it and use license plate readers or physical barricades as a band-aid.
In the UK they're called Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. It's what's at the very heart of the 15 minute city controversy.
Why would people complain about being able to walk to where they need to go? It's obviously being cut off from the places that they aren't able to walk to that people have a problem with. Deflecting from one by pretending it's about the other is a clear sign of bad faith.
Nobody is being cut off from anywhere - their route is being made longer in order to avoid residential areas - their journeys would be quicker if they walked they just don't want to...and that is the point highly polluting journeys are being disincentivised...if you absolutely must drive then you need to set off earlier this isn't an attack on people's civil liberties you have no right to drive somewhere..
Low traffic neighbourhoods and 15 minute cities are entirely different concepts, trying to solve different problems and that have very little to do with each other. You can easily have one without the other.

Exactly this! It all boils down to people being pissed that their car journey in London takes longer than it used to - nobody is actually being blocked from getting anywhere just their route is being changed - somehow this has been wrapped up in the 15 minute conspiracy...
I agress this album is brilliant, but not that everything after it was terrible.
I probably listen to A Grand Don't Come for Free more then OPM, the impact of Empty Cans in the context of listening to the whole album is huge. Fit But You Know It and Dry Your Eyes are great too, maybe too commercial for some tastes.
Saw The Streets last year at Alexandra Palace! Banging gig..
A Grand Don't Come For Free always felt more forced to me.
OPR felt like he was singing about a time and a life he knew. I figure the label wanted a second album and he gave it a go.
"A Grand Don’t Come for Free was an ambitious rap opera that wrapped a tale of romance and remorse around the disappearance of £1,000 belonging to the protagonist. To write it, he attended a workshop with the Hollywood screenwriting guru Robert McKee, who taught the likes of Kirk Douglas, Paul Haggis, Joan Rivers and even David Bowie."
Thanks!! I was also under the impression Fractals required self similarity and not just infinite detail but glad to have that misconception corrected!
I think it probably stems from the fact that all the fractals, I have seen, for which the dimension can be analytically calculated do show obvious patterns of similarity at different scales.
Searching I stumbled over this paper[1], which I found interesting, on characterizing the fractal-ness of geological structures.
They point out that the usual measure of fractal dimension, or capacity dimension[2], doesn't consider the physical size of the features and can thus be inaccurate. Instead they suggest using the information dimension[3], which is bounded by the capacity dimension.
This is what I Initially thought too but I am less certain now - I assumed Fractal implied self similarity (which this doesn't seem to have) but this is in fact not true - I think to actually say if its fractal or not someone needs to estimate its dimension using box counting or some, way beyond me, analytical method.
They should have definition at arbitrary scales. These images do not, they are built from a fixed sized matrix. Beyond a certain point you are between the data points.
Same can be said for the madelbtot set or any other fractal - there is a physical bound on the precision of the values - you can in theory run a NN with arbitary precision floats...
But the image is based on the attributes of each node in the NN matrix. The Mandelbrot set can be calculated at any precision you desire and it keeps going. An NN is discrete and finite.
That's not what it shows at all - it shows how varying hyper parameters (which are floats and thus can be set at any arbitary precision) effects the speed at which convergence happens - so its some function F: R^n -> Z - it has literally nothing to do with the nodes in the neural network...
It's not the financial cost of the time that's important it's the time itself - it's the requirement to completely go against my internal body clock to be at a location by a socially determined starting time - I start working at 10am usually - from home that means I can get up at 8.30 perhaps- to be in an office that means 6.30 am - I don't want to wake up at that time...
