Economic mismanagement assumes there is economic management, and this is a very recent development. I would wager that we still do not know how to manage economies well in the long…

Such a good comment, I would also add how much our perception of technology lifting conditions is conflated with the increased ability of governments to steer the economy to smooth…

What is a "simple-ish open problem". I guess it falls under "solving this open problem in mathemathics is left as an exercise to the reader" ;)

It would not even help me with updating my CV because I work in biology...

They want to encourage diversifying model use.

I guess that is at the core of Google vs Oracle, they copied the API kept the implementation clean-room. It was definitvely ruled that this was fair use. If fair use applies to som…

That is my point people are pro-AI / anti-AI and pro-automation / anti-automation, there is nothing weird about it.

Weirdly common I would say. US dockworkers / longshoremen are anti-automation big time. https://ilaunion.org/the-ilas-fight-against-automation-prese... The lack of productivity-gro…

This happened to me in elementary school. We were doing fingerpaintings using plasticine. After all the bikes were hung on the wall, mine was racing the other way... Somehow it rea…

Indeed hilarious considering my grandparent still remember being put into a german nazi concentration camp.

Hmm.The point was that people with Alzheimers have trouble interpreting images, and obviously remain concious until the latest stages of their disease.

> do have long-term memory from their training and thus act very much like someone suffering from Alzheimer’s. Your 8th grade science teacher may be disappointed too. Drawing such …

Have you looked at the rise of Germany's right-wing politics recently? AfD with 18.8% in Baden-Württemberg (west Germany, relatively rich).

Gearmany's pacifism is just like its green energy transition hypocrytical and ineffective. Their Energiewende was to shutdown nuclear to bring back coal. Their Zeitenwend amounted …

Not sure why you are voted down. Came here to make the same joke.

It is also wrong...

What makes ggplot great is that it allows manual adjustments AND has a nice declerative grammar. Hard for me to see the value of a plotting library without being able to adjust plo…

Imagine a pizza place that allows you to pick from 40+ toppings but you can only order a margherita ;) /s

Agreed. What you wrote was probably the input, what we see is the LLM output with the directive to "make us sound smart, put gratuitous em-dash"

Would it make sense to embed such single-purpose network with fixed weights within a LLM before pre-training?

Me neither, but what you present is a false dichotomy. Science used to be a past time of the wealthy elites, it became a profession. By opening up it up progrss was accelerated. Sa…

Perhaps the real issue is the gate-keeping scientific publishing model. Journals had a place and role, and peer-review is a critical aspect of the scientific process but new times …

What makes you think that this 'surplus' GDP will be captured by those who do the investments?

What an utterly disappointing comment. FWIW I spent 15min on the app, and found it very helpful to see examples of the various kinds of skin lesion - it will likely motivate me to …
