LLM slop about new fundamental understandings of the world, but imagined in a world where Catholicism was somehow the dominant meme, so all the metaphors are drawn from there rather than "quantum mechanics", recursive stuff, etc
a really good intellectual history could perhaps show you how some scientist got their "taste" early in life, made their Big Contributions using it, and then found that their taste no longer worked because of the domain shift induced by their own discoveries
I don't know. It probably does make sense to call it normal science? But the "well analogous cases will have similar results" does still make me think, ah, this particular case is just driven by Dislike.
yeah for sure it might make more sense to call it normal science
but like... idk, the shrug at "well, I've proven that black holes can't happen from point masses in circular orbits" to "black holes therefore do not exist" seems kinda sus, even antecedently?
TIL that Einstein, in a 1939 paper, tried to prove that Black Holes could not exist.
Honestly more of a hit to his reputation in my mind than the persistence to quantum mechanics. But a boost to my "most intelligence is shockingly domain-specific belief."
my vague feeling from trying a bunch of different functions is that sharp nonlinearities anywhere near attention kill it, you need need to keep the gradient from anything from being totally zerod out
