I'll add - Flip the back and recent apps button in three button navigation. It's such a weird decision - like only left handed people should be able to comfortably use three button…

Surprised no one has said the following; study AI and try make a meaningful contribution to the field. It may sound trite, but the most likely way we solve the climate crisis is by…

The pre-print say the pulses occur with a frequency of ~0.05 Hz (once every 20s). So at a guess the video is sped up 20x.

Both MAS and (the earlier) EWC facilitate continual learning through passing a bunch of samples through the network and collecting gradients to determine which weights are 'importa…

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong then. Though I could imagine that if this happened to you legitimately that you would have some legal recourse to get your money back; you fulfilled your end o…

Well there is nothing for them to check. From what I've read, they wait two weeks then mark the package as 'lost in transit'. I think for the last-mile of delivery, couriers rely o…

This this a clear cut case and amazon should process the refund, however, in general refunding is a hard problem for Amazon to solve due to the sheer volume fraud that occurs. For …

Do you have and references on your last point about algae? I have this (totally unsubstantiated) idea that plundering the oceans of fish along with rising temperatures will result …

What's weird is that a couple of weeks ago Coinbase launched trading in Tether on Coinbase Pro. You would think this exposes them to much risk. I've been scratching my head about w…

I'm convinced that something similar is happening to Boris Johnson's tweets at the moment. Every time he posts, many of the top responses are exact copies of each other saying some…

How are they sourcing/funding the compute to train these massive models?

> An issue that I basically never see come up is - why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable? if P(death|vaccine) Not sure, but I would think …

> The idea of using "rewards" as a primary learning mechanism and a path to actual cognition is just wrong, full stop. It's a wrong level of abstraction and is too wasteful in ener…

I wonder how plausible it is to genetically engineer algae to sequester more carbon e.g. make them bigger and heavier so they sink to the bottom of the ocean, and also make them re…

These 4 videos (~45 mins) do an excellent job at explaining attention, multi-headed attention, and transformers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGTUuEx3GkA

I looked into it briefly a few months ago but I'm not a biochemist/plant scientist; there is a lot of research on growing human organs, not so much growing fruits. I'm sure it's po…

I wonder if we'll ever see indoor farms which grow fruits from stem cells, without the need for the rest of the plant.

He talks about this in his appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. He's my favourite guest, fascinating guy.

Does anyone know if Twitter are allowed to legally frontrun the markets before making tweets publicly visible?

All the new mobile banks seem to do their ID verification/KYC using video selfies. Interesting to consider whether deepfakes are being used in wild to fool these systems and commit…

Mind-boggling. They train on each game for a total of 1e11 frames of experience. At 30 FPS that is ~106 calendar years of constant gameplay.

But Tesla's fleet is getting more driving experience every day than you will get in your entire life, and every time they train on one of those exceptions, the entire fleet will be…

I can't see L5 happening without, amongst other things, the human ability to reason about things/concepts we've never encountered before (à la consciousness). Highway driving is th…

I was guilty of this once and would add some more specific advice; if your dataset consists of multiple possible labels for the same samples, do not just assume that the average of…

What is the value in unfollowing people? Do accounts that follow a lot of people have less authority?
