I’m sure you can, but you can qualify for loans that do not make for a happy life. You start calculating CA taxes and what that monthly house payment is with todays interest rates …

$800k sounds like a lot of money, and it is of course. I considered chasing it, because it’s within the realm of possibility for me. But when I looked at housing in the area, I was…

Downvotes by those that were in on the hysteria and don’t like to have to face that about themselves.

If your algorithm worked better, don’t you think that would be the algorithm? You think those models don’t consider recent sales?

This article works hard to paint one picture, and then presents arguments and evidence to the contrary. It’s basically a sob story about local musicians and ski lift operators not …

a.k.a., "that's not real communism".

I remember reading plenty of thought pieces a few years ago saying this was impossible, and that Uber was a house of cards gaining market share by subsidizing rides with investor m…

Headline in 5 years: “Endowments from alumni down 50% and no one knows why!”

Yes, pride -> fall, I get it. Although it's the celebration of the fall from the sidelines that I'm questioning. I can feel the spite in your words--towards me, towards Musk, and t…

I’m pretty sure those are supposed to be moral lessons, not misery porn. But hey, you seem to openly accept the idea of enjoying another’s suffering, and I admire that kind of hone…

I watched a few of these a long time ago. Looking at the list of videos, it's funny that nearly half of them are basically, "I've lived here X months now!" I guess not much happens…

That's not how science works though. You generate a hypothesis about how something works, and then you execute an experiment that's designed to directly test the hypothesis as much…

OK, but for a rapidly emerging super intelligence to occur, it seems like all of the relevant problems would need to be of that second type, and that's far from obviously true, and…

You hit the nail on the head, and I train transformers for a living. This pervasive axiom that intelligence can just scale exponentially at a rapid pace is rarely questioned or eve…

My primary argument is that we not only don't have the answers, but don't even really have well posed questions. We're talking about "General Intelligence" as if we even know what …

Maybe I'm not "the average HN commenter" because I am deep in this field, but I think the overlap of what these famous experts know, and what you need to know to make the doomer cl…

You’re drinking from the academic marketing koolaid. Please tell me: where are these methods being applied in AI systems today? And I’m so tired of this “transformers are just GNNs…

Give me a break. Very interesting theoretical work and all, but show me where it's actually being used to do anything of value, beyond publication fodder. You could also say MLPs a…

What? Have you seen police in real life? When I see them, shit is going down, which is why they were called and turned on those flashy emergency lights.

Not sure why you’re downvoted—the evidence is in your favor. This whole thread is basically about the EU not being brought along in what most consider a tech revolution, and it’s l…

This is the web privacy version of, “but that wasn’t REAL communism.” Look, you guys made a law, and what happened happened. When someone criticizes the law because of the conseque…
