The case of “vegetative electron microscopy” illustrated here shows what is badly needed in current #LLM research and has implications far beyond. We need tools that help us curate huge corpora. We need to be able to trace #hallucinations back to the training data and understand what are the specific (to a surprise, often #deterministic) reasons in the model input that cause that particular output.

If anyone is interested in collaborating on this, I'm in, have done some small-scale experiments and have already submitted a grant proposal.

Knowledge sharing, documentation, and process are the key to efficiency and work-life-balance. Not a plinko machine.

4/ Because the Mind is the idea of the Body, it is perfectly "parallel" to it. Whatever happens to the Body (which is subject to the #deterministic laws of #physics/#nature) is perfectly and simultaneously reflected in the Mind as a corresponding sequence of ideas (thoughts).

It looks like a situation where careful deterministic programming by someone with some understanding of both sides of the transaction should work.
Two matching modules might work even better.
They might even help people who find that difficult a little.

Throwing books about other things into a bucket and picking out scraps does not seem a superior approach.

#deterministic

#ThinkingMachines Lab, founded by #MiraMurati, is working on making #AImodels more #consistent by addressing the randomness in their responses. The lab’s research suggests that controlling the way GPU kernels are orchestrated during inference processing can lead to more #deterministic AI models. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/10/thinking-machines-lab-wants-to-make-ai-models-more-consistent/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I've gotten in this habit of building all software to be #deterministic. And I mean ALL software. 😅

Functional languages make this easier. But they still don't capture state of systems you rely on. Like time or random number generators. 🫠 The things that truly break apart. 🙃

Abstracting non deterministic properties to calls you inject can make a world of difference. It helps then being able to evaluate why you get an error for api outside of your control. And yes time is an api. 😏

At the fundamental (#quantum) level, Nature is #probabilistic. Much of #computing is about modelling natural phenomena and it relies on semiconductor physics, which is inherently quantum mechanical. Yet, much of present day computing hobbles on #deterministic algorithms.🤷‍♂️

A new argument suggests that quantum mechanics may be more deterministic than previously thought, reigniting the debate on the relationship between physics and free will. The discussion centres around whether the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will or if the universe is fundamentally deterministic.

i wonder if it's possible to make a video game that would teach kids the intuition behind the "butterfly effect" by making each subsequent level's initial conditions determined by the outcome of the previous level, in such a way that the gameplay would guide you towards understanding that tiny decisions made on the first level will have huge consequences on level two, etc. #chaos #butterflyEffect #chaosTheory #deterministic #systems #nonlinear #differentialEquations #bifurcation cc @JamesGleick

Crazy how much difference the right data structure / #algorithm for a task makes.

This week I learned about #Deterministic #Finite #Automata and #Nondeterministic Finite Automata just to redo my clunky #AdventOfCode2023 day 12 challenge, written in #Rust #RustLang

Runtime for part 1 dropped from 1-2secs to milliseconds. Part 2 also milliseconds 😮

Are there any good Rust crates for DFAs/NFAs?

Many people solved that problem with #Dynamic #Programming - something else for the learn list 😉
