I don't know if I can "will" myself to go on autopilot. It seems like if there is a conflict in some meta-reasoning level, in values, life principles or general beliefs, I might be…

At the moment, Deep Think is only available with the ULTRA subscription ($250 per month).

There is a mistake right in the beginning, not sure how it affects the conclusions yet. The variables given are S - System variable (some kind of disturbance), Z is the outcome ( a…

> This is not new ground. See Cybernetics Control theory and cybernetics were supposed to transform psychology in a much more dramatic and all-encompassing way, as argued by W.T. P…

> Not seeing the revolution here. Most of the ideas here have been seen before. Did I miss something? The reviewer is a psychologist, with some interesting opinions and criticisms …

I'm not sure I had the same issue, it is a different laptop, but it would not go to sleep. The current solution is to make it hybernate instead of sleep.

Every time you order an "expresso", an Italian falls off a vespa.

The scientific community, or the ministry of science of some country, or a university - might find that paying for peer review, for example, might be more effective in promoting go…

This sounds amazing! Are there any metrics on how often different models pass tests? Has someone used a similar process to finetune an LLM?

Where is the author's name? Strange editorial. Neuroscientists should "involve participants"? What if they cannot speak, like that guy Broca's area was found in? >>Without a doubt,…

I think it's just that bouba has o, and kiki has k. Also the b is half-round, and I is more spiky. Visual differences, not auditory. edit: You make a round shape with your mouth in…

> I started in 1934, [... ] At that time, the computing industry was limited to mechanical calculators using the decimal system. That seems a bit biased toward discrete systems. En…

In a controlled environment - where the object to pick up, for example, is always in exactly the same location - you could do that. If there is any variation in the location of the…

That is also a difficult problem - how do you know beforehand, that a problem is worthwhile? That someone else thinks it is important? Or how high is "ambitious" if you never tried…

Well, it is not "brain activity alone", there are always light waves, forces, chemicals, and a lot of other things, acting on the brain from "outside" of the body, through some ver…

I don't think it was ever proven in an experiment that an out of body experience or an NDE got some information from the real world, as opposed to information originating in the pe…

That's interesting, I've never heard of Milton Friedman's thermostat, but there is a procedure called "The test for the controlled variable" intended to find if a system is control…

> That will solve the criminality problem, but not the drug problem. That is exactly right. The drug problem, like the alcohol problem, on the level of personal suffering should be…

There is Soroka 1954 - Analog methods in computation and simulation. Includes mechanical and electrical analogs

Could you share some references, like a recent review or consensus? I've seen different takes on the causes of megafauna extinction, and one story is that the extinction lines up p…

> "what's so special about x ?" Does f(x) mean one function, whereas f(y) means a completely different function? This looks like the difference between parameters of a function and…

A tuned PID loop should follow a moving target with no issues and no advanced control theory. Here is a similar example from a Lego robot with a pixi camera [1]. The pixi camera re…

I'm getting close to 40, have been studying for the driving exam since last May. It's terribly boring and tedious, and I guess that attitude is not helping, but it doesn't seem tha…

I've been thinking about the same concept, and trying to find a way to introduce analog computing as something that goes together with the story in the game. Analog computing was h…
