LLM is still too verbose, a real person Socratic conversation can interact a couple sentences at a time, not spew 1-3 windowfuls of low density bullet points. I even wonder if this…

A steak is hard because the processes to make it are physically contradictory (crust vs interior). Its hardness is a microcosm for why cooking in general is hard. There is a profou…

The article is about existing research suggesting that this intuition is incorrect, though.

Are there any readings would you recommend to read if I play classical piano, and especially for Romantic and post-Romantic music ranging from Chopin/Liszt to Debussy/Ravel?

I play piano. It's not just cultural, it is partly like that checkerboard lighting illusion. What is objectively one shade, can in a different context, seem like the opposite shade…

What's the risk of collateral damage or autoimmune issues from this kind of process, it sounds more difficult to evaluate for safety because it is more complicated.

However, the writing often dwells at length on trivialities, while passing very briefly through (or even obscuring) the most interesting and novel portions of the argument. This is…

There are different levels of outcomes, but even Terence Tao essentially foresees this issue: look at his remark footnote 5 in this very talk. It complements the Balkanization poin…

I would have to reread the piece carefully but I don't think "lack of trying by Biopharma" is consistent with the author's main argument. Because he is still being somewhat critica…

I don't care what he's "saying that" which is just your biased interpretation. His essay does not warrant the final concluding sentence which would require a different essay thesis…

Irrelevant hypothetical.

Not knowing of a way is inequivalent to inexistence of any way. This is basic and apparently some bloggers are bad writers and or political conservatives of the type "there is no a…

Why does he conclude there is no alternative? He already argued this would be strange in other disciplines. So reform it.

Yeah but Phaedrus was an implicit critique of Socrates so I don't buy the idea of taking Socratic approach at face value (and then in the 20th century many critical interpetations …

They weren't though. Socratic method was a singular argument and should not be confused with the argument in Chinese culture. As a Chinese American I literally hear the Zhuang Zi t…

Ok then please explain why Socrates is better than margin notes for an assumed purpose, because that is not reasonable common knowledge. If by that you meant to suggest that for fo…

A restoration artist would not invent eyebrows because they would have worked under a theory of the sort "human faces are especially sensitized to human interpretation so if the no…

I also think to do STEM well, one needs to find that inner child.

Then that is a category error because you are assuming people on HN need to act like philosophers 24/7.

Yes, one might call these… evolutionary algorithms…

I never said anything like that, but if you're making a simplistic appeal to information theory then I rest my case.

Jesus, I took 4 years of Electrical Engineering and at no point did any professor make this brilliant analogy. It would have helped many students, including myself.

That's not fair. To most users this would not be an obvious thing to do, unlike software/scientific/analytic uses of LLMs. So it's not a matter of inability but rather awareness an…

One plausible reason I thought of that we may not understand neural nets is that by their nature their power grows with ever-more complex connections and weights. So it is like the…

No it's because they think they're saving the world.
