    how is this new? evolutionary heuristics have been around for a long time. why give it a new name?

    This is dumb because it's literally doing what it has been instructed to do, as well as given access to means to carry out those actions. Just another hype mechanism for OpenAI.

    From my experience, pihole is very easy to setup for this use case: https://pi-hole.net/

    I feel like this is missing a "know when it's time to call it quits" section.

    fun tool, but tbh I found it frustrating right out of the gate. It felt like being stuck in an infinite loop. https://practiceinterview.co/interview/330?key=36a0893b-6a2b...

    I was with the article until this final point about integrated solutions. I see the argument around data lock-in, but integration is typically non-trivial unless it's coming from t…

    In your demo, I got to the point of "Click Metrics to continue...", and "Metrics" was unclickable: https://imgur.com/a/i5LWFaa I'm using FireFox 86.0 on MacOS 11.2 (Apple M1 chip).…

    Is it possible to backfill a materialized view? I'm maybe confused, but does this potentially replace a traditional data lake or is it specifically for streaming applications?

    We the OpenAI board have decided it would benefit all humanity for us to claim 100x profits.

    Is it? How many hours for you to set up something similar, and then what do you get paid per hour?

    Ah ok, yeah TBH I didn't read the article, but was guessing from the headline this is what they meant since in exponentially scaling problems theres always room at the top (unless …

    Title could also be "Researchers find a better heuristic for a class of exponentially scaling problems." There's no claim to have changed the complexity class, so"exponentially fas…

    This plot essentially ignores all other computational science. People in HPC have been operating at these scales for awhile, and yet don't make claims about their field taking over…

    It's true that at 50-100 physical (not logical) qubits, it's no longer possible to simulate classically. That does not mean that they are useful. As other people pointed out, you m…

    YES. Exactly this. It's fine to make approximations to avoid exponential scaling, but applying function approximators essentially randomly won't get you anywhere. This is then comp…
