I'm a psychiatry resident, and I have ADHD. The myth is, in fact, a myth. More importantly, the dose of desoxyn (methamphetamine) used therapeutically for ADHD is *much* lower than…

Agreed. I find that particularly annoying, and I also seem to find that the spatial arrangement or stereo effect is muted for most instruments (or the model simply doesn't use that…

I'm a psychiatry resident who has been into ML since... at least 2017. I even contemplated leaving medicine for it in 2022 and studied for that, before realizing that I'd never bec…

I'm still impressed by the progress in interpretability, I remember being quite pessimistic that we'd achieve even what we have today (and I recall that being the consensus in ML r…

I'm a psychiatry resident who finds LLM research fascinating because of how strongly it reminds me of our efforts to understand the human brain/mind. I dare say that in some ways, …

I would be curious to know more precise numbers. My intuition suggests that when Sony sells millions of them, the number diverted for non-gaming purposes is maybe thousands or tens…

The programming workspace of the future of the future will have three employees: A man, a dog and an instance of Claude. The dog writes the prompts for Claude, the man feeds the do…

Given that Gemini 3 Pro already did solid on that test, what exactly did they improve? Why would they bother? I double checked and tested on AI Studio, since you can still access t…

Previous models from competitors usually got that correct, and the reasoning versions almost always did. This kind of reflexive criticism isn't helpful, it's closer to a fully gene…

Gary Marcus successfully predicted all ten of the one AI Winters. He also claimed that LLMs were a failure because of prompts that GPT 3.5 couldn't parse, after the launch of GPT-4…

Nanobots are fantasy? Nobody told your cells or bacteria I guess. We have an existence proof right there.

Same here. I did notice what I think was an actual error on someone's part, there was a chart in the files comparing black to white IQ distributions, and well, just look at it: htt…

GPS jamming for incoming drones?

>Interactive Human Simulator is a bold way to describe spinning up a few GPT calls with mood sliders, but sure, let’s call it anthropology. Next iteration can just skip the users e…

Humans with certain amnestic syndromes are incapable of learning. That doesn't make them unintelligent or incapable of thought.

>If anything the agentic wave is showing that the chat interfaces are better off hidden behind stricter user interface paradigms. I'm not sure that claim is justified. The primary …

I found it genuinely impressive how useless their "GPTs" were. Of course, part of it was due to the fact that the out-of-the-box models became so competent that there was no need f…

1. I do know what to do with it. I take notes, a lot, in my work as a doctor. That's been the case since I owned an iPad Air from 2020, which I replaced with an 11 inch M1 iPad Pro…

I own an M4 iPad Pro and can't figure out what to do with even a fraction of the horsepower, given iPadOS's limitations. The rumors about an upcoming touchscreen Mac are interestin…

I'd have liked more explanation of the actual solutions that programmers used at the time.

I never thought I'd end up posted on HN! I was wondering why on earth Substack's analytics were showing visitors from here. If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to answer here.

To me, it seemed to be a visual equivalent of that auditory trick where a note seems to descend or ascend in pitch indefinitely. The outer aura of color seemed to be shrinking cons…

The person who guessed 16% would have a lower Brier score (lower is better) and someone who estimated 100%, beyond being correct, would have the lowest possible value.

Yes. Sleep by itself does nothing unique. In fact, you have a slightly lower rate of metabolism than even the "basal" metabolic rate.

Eh? That isn't right. The metabolic rate while asleep is even lower than the basal average. The only reason there's a net loss after sleep is because you're not regularly consuming…
