As someone who has only had a very basic understanding of how backpropagation works, I found this to be really easy to follow along with, so thanks for that. The article is also cl…

You're thinking of Bryan Johnson. He has autoimmune gastritis, it's not exactly a death sentence.

I think a certain level of hype is warranted for a model that can autonomously discover complex 27-year-old 0-days in OpenBSD for $20K[0]. We don't yet know what this does to the b…

Completely agree. NPM has the only registry where massive supply chain attacks happen several times a year. Mainly the fault lies with NPM itself, but much of it is just a terrible…

Log4Shell was not a supply chain attack.

Then our continued existence is reliant on the agent's inability to figure out how to operate and maintain a source of energy. Keep in mind that any AGI will almost immediately be …

> There is no AGI and maybe there will never be. Of course there is no AGI existing currently. But don't you see the current boom as a (small) step in that direction? Unless one be…

The major difference here is that nukes aren't intelligent agents that make their own decisions. An AGI is a completely different ball game, it's difficult to make apt analogies fr…

(not OP, but) from a European perspective, it means one less GDPR headache. At the company I work for I know having PII going through a 3rd party server for this kind of purpose wo…

What you write is true, but generally the support and use of electronic identification in Germany is very poor, partially a result of complex and (at times) overly restrictive legi…

Short answer is: we can't :/ the speed of causality is not something we can "solve".

Hm. I do find that to be in somewhat poor taste, but only because they've drawn her gender-hurdle as being almost the same size as the one for the girl born in Sahel. I'm willing t…

The report is saying that where you are born is the most predictive factor in determining how well you will do later in life, compared to other metrics. By the way, how well do you…

I can't find any references in the report to Melinda as an example of gender inequality, and it seems extremly atypical of the Gates' to say that. Which part are you referring to, …

Not a physicist, but: "expansion" is probably understating it. My guess would be something analogous to an insanely powerful neutron bomb. Interesting thought experiment, would lov…
