Also, this trade war pushes the USA close to a war with China over Taiwan and maybe Panama Canal, which is exactly what you want as an authoritarian to stay on longer. Find an enem…

Decoupling from China will lead to China annex Taiwan sooner. China will have the USA and the world by the balls then, so not sure we want that to happen quicker. And I don't think…

I mean, we all know who the driver is to launch 'cybertrucks' and 'robotaxis' instead of more affordable variations. Also, not sure what the whole 800v hype is about. I rent EVs fo…

Geforce now is amazing these days if you like gaming and only have a mac.

Doesn't seem that this administration think they do. Pro free speech my ass.

I mean, if you re-elect the guy that tried to forcibly stay in power last time, I'm not sure what else to say... Zero sympathy for Americans that voted for this and the ones that s…

So the special thing about NEAT is that it allows the shape of the neural net to change. It can also do some sort of mix between two neural nets (like sexual reproduction), but I h…

Not OP but.. He’s full of shit? You get banned for sharing identities of DOGE people, but Musk can share the name and tax documents of a federal judge. Hypocrite.

I can tell you that the non-US west has lost a lot of goodwill in the last few weeks. There are boycott’s afoot and I wouldn’t be surprised if canada and Europe will choose more Ch…

And the Chinese will pick up the pieces in Africa and other places.

So they carry neural nets and evolve using the NEAT algorithm, which introduces slight variations: new connections and new nodes. Over time this allows fish to develop basic behavi…

Hah, I'm creating something like this right now as a hobby. Will open source it soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDePFvxj6Po I think we're quite far off if you want to model f…

You could say the same about doing a startup. They pay is shit, grueling hours and 90% of them don't amount to anything meaningful. Doesn't mean that it's not worth it for most. So…

You don't really learn how to learn in a masters or undergraduate. You learn how to consume information, but not how to research new things, validate those and defend it to others …

It doesn't need to appeal to everyone. It's also very very lab dependent. I didn't find a lab at my European institute in my area of interest, so ended up not doing a PhD. I still …

I think that's why most innovative science today happens at the intersection of two domains– That's where someone from a different field can have unique insights and try something …

Yup! No goal to become a programmer– But I like to build programs. Build a rather complex AI-ecosystem simulator with me as the director and GPT-4 now Claude 3.5 as the programmer.…

I mean, they should probably prepare people with knowledge of taxes and investing then. The competition is very obvious in societies with a lot of wealth disparity. In Europe there…

Yes. And the last decades we’ve had a new unknown cause of colon cancer increase in young adults. My money is on plastics, but will be hard to prove.

We've almost wiped ourselves out in a nuclear war in the 70ies. If that would have happened, would it have been worth it? Probably not. Beyond immediate increase in inequality, whi…

We've seen 10-100x cost decrease per year since GPT-3 came out for the same capabilities. So... Next year this tech will most likely be quite a bit cheaper.

My guess as an amateur neuroscientist is that what we call intelligence is just a 'measurement' of problem solving ability in different domains. Can be emotional, spatial, motor, r…

I think this is a fair criticism of capability. I personally wouldn't be surprised if we start to see benchmarks around this type of cooperation and ability to orchestrate complex …

What would you need to see to call it useful? To give you an example– I've used it for legal work such as an EB2-NIW visa application. Saved me countless of hours. My next visa I'l…
