It seems like an extremely coarse classification. Category 3 contains languages with very different degrees of difficulty, while Bulgarian and Russian are both Slavic they are noth…

Thank you for your reply, I may have misinterpreted what Weatherby was saying and I admit I did not spend enough time reading it. I've re-skimmed it and think you may be right. Wit…

Something I ponder in the context of AI alignment is how we approach agents with potentially multiple objectives. Much of the discussion seems focused on ensuring an AI pursues a s…

I agree with your point about the validation bottleneck becoming dominant over raw compute and simple model scaling. However, I wonder if we're underestimating the potential headro…

The Turing test seems to be a product of an era where the nature and capabilities of artificial intelligence were still in the realms of the unknown. Because of that it was difficu…

Just thought about this scenario, there are probably more likely ones. If some AI had access to the missile launch system, the best course of action for it would probably not be to…

I enjoyed the article but have a very minor nitpick. I didn't understand why the author added this sentence. "However, the timescales involved in these calculation are so unreasona…

“If we define understanding as human understanding, then AI systems are very far off,” This took me into the following line of thought. If we wanted AGI we probably should give thi…

Transcribing is hard and slow, speech-to-text transcripts are uncomfortable to correct in usual text editors. Transcriptor is a pseudo-modal editor for transcribing. This modal nat…

This just made me think how much the influence on civilizations that act based on some "Dark Forest" type of hypothesis could change based on what these civilizations (believe to) …

Hi dang, thanks for the amazing work you do moderating HN. Reading your words "The weariness that arises at the thought of caring about commenter opinions" got me thinking about ho…

Yes, this is different from dark matter. This is baryonic "matter" that is predicted by our theories but that had not been previously detected. However the title is misleading, thi…

I also think there's a lot to be tried in the space of "how to build technology companies". I see many options available to technology companies that are not realistic for traditio…

The product the company I founded is selling has found market fit. It has some advantages that will be difficult to replicate by our competitors. But to make it grow fast investmen…
