Subbarao Kambhampati (కంభంపాటి సుబ్బారావు) @rao2z Our #NeurIPS2023 paper on the planning (in)abilities of LLMs (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.15771) gets discussed in The @NewYorker (https://newyorker.com/science/annals-of-artificial-intelligence/can-an-ai-make-plans).. https://pic.twitter.com/Uqeb8sQQoS Replying to @rao2z and @NewYorker The current crop of LLMs do not have sufficient permanent memory. While the human problems are simple, humans have years or decades of tiny memories, including those years

Physics World @PhysicsWorld New calculations that combine quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity suggest that gravastars could end up nested inside one another like a Russian Matryoshka doll https://ow.ly/kbNM50QVQGm Replying to @PhysicsWorld You should also find that any number of stable orbits of neutron and quark stars can fit inside a central black

(“diversity” “inclusion” “equality”) has 225 Million entry points today on @Google but they refuse to index, encode and share it, even in random samples. I see every large group talking about it, saying the same things. For the Internet only when all 8 Billion humans and related species are included does it balance. If

Amin Chabchoub @DrAminChabchoub Our new Geophysical Research Letters #AGUpubs @theAGU work led by @YanLi_PhD elaborates also on the connection between extremely large ocean waves and Langmuir circulation dynamics . Enjoy the read! 🤓 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023GL107381 https://pic.twitter.com/lrvc3ZsLjW Replying to @DrAminChabchoub @theAGU and @YanLi_PhDIt seems you need better ways to image, record and model these flows at all

Looking at Lamb’s Hydrodynamics and just too tired to go through it all again. Standing there, looking at the familiar problems and concepts, wondering if an AI, somewhere, could read it all and note where things have progressed. Or where there were serious exceptions. All my life I have absorbed knowledge and phenomena, like a

Alpha Alimamy Kamara @alpha_alimamy Graph Neural Networks as gradient flows by @mmbronstein in @TDataScience https://towardsdatascience.com/graph-neural-networks-as-gradient-flows-4dae41fb2e8a?source=social.tw Replying to @alpha_alimamy @mmbronstein and @TDataScience If you expose your neural nets to continuously increasingly complex streams, it will not get bored and fall into simple patterns. It is not the algorithm that gets lazy, it is the input that

Laboratory for Social Minds @LaboratoryMinds How does, like, information, flow in conversation? How do, uh, speakers and listeners, like, cope? We use LLMs and CANDOR to measure the information rate of human speech (just 13 bits/second!), and how disfluencies and backchannels help us manage it. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08890 Replying to @LaboratoryMinds Then you should be able to

But the idea that civilizations might be detected by their use of unique signatures embedded in their communication struck me as useful. “Earth’s sun” is not a sequence of text characters but a unique all possible frequencies large data signature of the mass

Anders Puck Nielsen: Why are maritime drones so hard to beat? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX68_FZl8UE Thanks for explaining why active electromagnetic radar based systems are so vulnerable. There are many passive, time of flight, correlating imaging array methods now. That is a mouthful, but an emerging set of complementary technologies that might one day give your people
