MatthewBerman @MatthewBerman  Reflection 70b just dropped and is beating every other model, including GPT4o and Claude 3.5. How did this happen? Here’s my conversation with Matt Shumer (@mattshumer_) and Sahil Chaudhary (@csahil28), the authors of Reflection 70b. https://pic.x.com/lfskkfycpd Replying to @MatthewBerman @mattshumer_ and @csahil28 “AI” is still an ad word, not a real effort to

What Actually Caused the Baby Boom?… It Wasn’t (really) WWII at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts1ZFHA4cCw I came from a large family and was born a few years after WW II.  I would say that movies, advertising to “have the good life”, consumption, television had a lot to do with it. “Cheaper by the dozen” and washing machines, microwaves

Turtles all the Way Down: What is Dark Energy? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0lddIKoxYg My Comment: There are many processes, nuclear energy creation in stars foremost, that spread things out. Once gravitation and binding bring things together and nuclear fusion is possible, the nuclear energy created is much greater than gravitational energy. Our sun streams neutrinos, light, heat,

Ideal Weapon: Can Hafnium Bombs Replace Nuclear Bombs? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPzQrJ8D7M Suggest you use NuDat3 at BNL to see all the isotopes that can be used. You also need all the magnetic moments, which I think they will be adding. Most of the radioactive isotopes can be used for their reactions. Not just stable ones if

I am sorry the corals might all die, but it is probably not going to kill all life on earth

Rambling Note: I am sorry the corals might all die, but it is probably not going to kill all life on earth. Could the whole world be smart enough to afford to keep the corals? Not likely. Reading “400-year-old corals reveal “tragic” temperature rise on reef” at https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/climate/great-barrier-reef-temperature-corals/   They say flat out, 1.5 C

“Artificial Intelligence” needs to change to “Intelligent Algorithms” for the human species

@CaseEngineer @CWRUalumni @cwru   I was reading the History Computer Engineering and Science Programs at https://engineering.case.edu/computer-and-data-sciences/history-computer-science   It is a bit incomplete. I think because it does not consider all the departments. Case Institute of Technology was my first university. My scholarship was based on chemistry, but within a few days of arriving in 1967
