What I'm imagining is your generate a bunch of completions and penalize the ones that don't compile(or pass some other statically-performable check like generating no syntax errors or whatever)

Does anyone use "reinforcement learning from compiler feedback" to train LLMs for code generation? It seems like eg codex was just made by doing extra training on github code.

Studying linear algebra when you shoul be looking for the future mother of your children, bro you're worried about the wrong matrix

@panchromaticity How the fuck is this so good

@TetraspaceGrouping This is also stated to be why string theory seems to suggest the universe has a bunch of extra dimensions, but some of them are randomly super compact and impossible to observe - it's not "randomly", it's because those dimensions were collapsed!

@TetraspaceGrouping At some point we see a spaceship come across a surviving pocket of four-dimensional space.

The lightspeed thing is because lightspeed (but not FTL) drives are possible, but they permanently lower the lightspeed in that area - advanced civs have gradually driven lightspeed across the universe down to the current value because they're all using lightspeed drives constantly.

@TetraspaceGrouping Basically the universe used to have more spatial and temporal dimensions, a higher speed of light, and probably some other stuff. Advanced civs developed weapons that collapsed some of these dimensions locally, and protect themselves by restructuring their own civilization to work in lower dimensions. Eventually our own solar system is wiped out by a 2-dimensionifying weapon.

@TetraspaceGrouping Oooh this is in Remembrance of Earth's Past as well! (the "Dark Forest" trilogy by Cixin Liu).

Wow, I'm internet famous now. How do I cash these in for sex and money again?

(It's because "kubernetes" mean's "helmsman" in Greek, which is also how Wiener came up with the word "cybernetics" - which, hilariously, we're forced to conclude he must have originally pronounced with a k-sound)

For a long time, I thought Kubernetes was called that because it involved encapsulating different systems in "cubes" (idk I didn't really think about it, I've never used it).

I realized the truth when I read the introduction to Wiener's _Cybernetics_

Like why are these three pictures "sci-fi"?

About a third of the pictures are weird uncanny valley monstrosities. Apart from that, the weirdest thing is that, although it generates the pictures in various categories ("anime", "rockstar", "sci-fi"), about half the pictures have no relation to the category
