if you want the white paper i have read about this : one is published in nature and other one version of the same thing or very similar in ArXiv :
https://lemmy.world/post/8894179
(not the post itself but the comments i made under my post)

Previously known as Q*, Strawberry was considered a breakthrough within the company last year. Earlier this year, two sources reported Q* demonstrations that could address complex scientific and mathematical questions beyond the reach of current models.

Despite contrary comments in here i say this is important and far reaching. Though i must admit i’m not an expert, i read a few white papers on this stuff : it has real potential.

i agree with you that we are much better than LLMs in the fact we can verify our errors (and we can do much more things LLMs don’t do).
Still i am happy to have access to their vast memory and i know where they fail most of times so i can work with them in a productive way.
The day we provide them (or DNNs) with “Will” is i think when they will become (more) dangerous.

Science cannot say much about what it is to think since it doesn’t understand the brain well enough … and the day we can fully explained it, we will also be able to replicated it on computers.

i feel that many of us, when confronted to this, are doing like Z.B. (president of the Galaxy) in The hitchhiker guide… when he says :
… “whenever I stop and think why did I want to do something? – how did I work out how to do it? – I get a very strong desire to just to stop thinking about it” …
We don’t want to be surpassed by machines … and this explains the large amount of downvotes

Yes thanks, … in fact, linked from @stuner above, is the explanation detailed simply, rapidly and from proven science why this source of energy is negligible and nearly never working.

Someone should explain why this is ludicrous.

Water flow is only required when the fire (wildfire) is near

Silica gel is extremely expensive, so, if you have this much money, install a pole with a big sprinkler on top outside.

it means you could type any of :

“”:a  
“”:b  
“”:c  
...  
“”:(any other characters)  

No I was not sarcastic. So now i am trying to read your paper and i think that it is above my knowledge level.

As a layman i had the intuition that instead of having two accounts as i proposed for voting and commenting which was implemented by @rimu, we might have had something like blockchain or filecoin or some coin that would represent voting power and that would be based on our commenting value… so that coin would have been an intermediary to make voting anonymous.

Finally i know enough about science that i know that i don’t know much.

Edit : after a rapid overview of the article i would say that this method :
“Blind Signature-Based e-Voting”
would be most appropriate to our social media voting and i noticed the work they have done is more targeting national elections where the outcome is much more important.

@rimu@piefed.social did great on my simple idea and this is very nice to know. He did not implement his other idea of having a pool of available robots that would vote one time each for each one vote of each one user(s) … also I thought it might be implemented in the frontend but he did implement it in the backend.

i did not say before but i was also thinking about complex mechanisms involving some kind of coin that would represent voting power that could be spent when voting or accumulated maybe with some loss of value with time … but then i read about the many research paper that were published about such things … in conclusion i believe we will see many other iterations of such social media.

thanks for the feedback 😌

Thanks @souperk@reddthat.com,
i believe many users will be interested in these papers about cryptographically secure voting.

Amongst them there would be :
@rimu@piefed.social
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk
@brbposting@sh.itjust.works

User’s votes anonymization through this system looks quite nice for me.

Let’s create separate accounts for voting and for posting so to improve anonymity and freedom of expression.

… it will take many years … and designs will change considerably before we are there.

”Space,” it says, ”is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space. Listen . . . ” and so on.

How do you like : “worldwide (including self centered U.S.A.)” 🤣 ?

the U.S. and other countries “around the world”

meaning, for those of us living on other planets, we are completely safe … such a relief ! /s

that was a nice read for me including historical popularity of different programming language here :
