    As someone who doesn’t own a car, every single time the cyber truck shows up 50-90% of the info is about these issues. Why would you trust individuals who already bought one more t…

    Is there any state the world could be in that letting the species cease to exist would be preferable? At all?

    Yeah but you can’t adjust coupling constants so it’s not as generically useful.

    Lucky you! I hope your kids are also as lucky as they age. The point seems to be that it’s extremely risky. Your decision to have kids outweighs, in the long run, most any other mo…

    Yup, as long as you ignore this quote “If you're thinking without writing, you only think you're thinking.”

    There’s not really anyone to endorse that doesn’t support it.

    To build a blocking API on an asynchronous API you make a place for the result to go, start the async API, then poll on the result appearing. Right?

    You don’t need sapience for algorithms to be incentivized to do these things, you only need a minimal amount of self-awareness. If you indicate to an LLM that it wants to accomplis…

    A photo negative in a single color is not a tough concept to stumble upon if you ever carve something to be thin enough to let light through.

    No no. If we don’t get our shit together this will get WORSE. If we do get our shit together this will still happen for a long long time.

    This is silly. They article talks like we have any idea at all how efficient machine learning can be. As I remember it, the LLM boom came from transformers turning out to scale a l…

    What undemocratic policy? Or do you just mean unpopular?

    Would it evaluate the RHS? It feels like it shouldn’t, but somehow that seems weird too.

    Maybe chill out on criticizing the reaction of someone involved in such a traumatic scenario where they’re not treated well by any side. It’s not what the article is about and it’s…

    Deepfakes of real children aren’t mentioned here, so you know. The discussion is more general.

    The Shannon entropy itself actually is the issue, no matter how small the mass gets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound

    10/10, but knowing one of them is AI and the other isn’t makes it so much easier. Here you can just pick the one that has more detail that doesn’t really add to the aesthetic. In t…

    Evidently it varies by region how much information about the destination is given to the drivers.

    That doesn’t make it right to say she’s well known for being a comedian.

    Very cool. To nitpick: the “even-ness of the cosine” graph should probably draw lines to the Y axis instead of the X.

    Perfect example. Maybe that word salad in the middle means something to someone, maybe it’s even right, but it’s basically uninterpretable in an academic context.

    Isn’t the old term “going steady” the equivalent of explicitly exclusively dating someone? I’m not convinced a decade or so ago this was so different, but let’s say it was. If the …

    Maybe people try to tell you you’re misguided because it sounds like you expect a date who respects you to not date other people. This is a silly expectation to have if it isn’t co…
