oh please... lesswrong was full of idiots already in 2010 when people outside of that community were laughing about "self-taught expert" Yudkowsky's bullshit physics takes. They ar…

what are you talking about bro, I think you're really getting carried away here. Nobody cares about the direction of writing on the spine of a book. And your thing with sentence vs…

but this seems quite overkill no? I currently run pi agent in Lima on a Mac with only the code project folder mounted and an extension that prevents pi agent from reading the conte…

I don't know, I don't think this "effort for effort's sake" is a very convincing argument. In particular, I think it's very much affected by recency bias in a way? What we perceive…

I think this could be an interesting read for you, I read it last week and it kind of argues the same points: https://shakoist.substack.com/p/against-time-series-foundati...

we did some internal tests. The quality isn't bad, it works quite well. But it's essentially on the same level of an ARIMA model trained on the data just much bigger and slower. So…

this completely misses how crazy word2vec is. The model doesn't get told anything about word meanings and relationships and yet the training results in incredibly meaningful repres…

mh, maybe it's cheating because it's still a STEM degree but I have a PhD in physics without any real computer science courses (obviously had computational physics courses etc. tho…

yeah that's actually what I was thinking about. I have a PhD in physics, so I easily notice when ChatGPT just keeps agreeing with me even though we're on very shaky ground. But I w…

one of the more important ones in my opinion would be a prompt to make ChatGPT much less agreeable. Unless explicitly asked for, it never really challenges your observations and wi…

To my knowledge the original authors promised they would send out samples in the future but want to wait till they have a finalized paper approved for publication. Whether that's r…

replication happens over time. For example, when I did my PhD I wanted to grow TaS2 monolayers on a graphene layer on an Iridium crystal. So I took published growth recipees of rel…

horrible take. Taking the LK99 situation as an example: simply copying and adapting a well described growth recipee to your own setup and lab conditions may take weeks. And how wou…
