From the article: "The project’s binary distributions didn’t include the required MIT license notice for the llama.cpp code they were shipping. This isn’t a matter of open-source e…

I said before that the function shape changes as you're updating the parameters that govern the function but that's actually very misleading, (sorry), since the kernel parameters a…

> Why is the 'true process' changing here? I understand our best guess or model is changing with new observations, but the true process should not be changing. If it actually is, t…

Greg Brockman honestly sounds like a psychopath: > In 2017, Amodei hired Page Hedley, a former public-interest lawyer, to be OpenAI’s policy and ethics adviser. In an early PowerPo…

For me, it was when I found out Greg Brockman's MAGA donations. From wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Brockman#Personal_life ): Brockman and his wife were the biggest…

This is awesome. How do you integrate morphology into the simulation? Does morphology effect movement (via area friction or mass impact on momentum) or metabolism (via area/volume …

That presumes that languages didn't evolve independently across different communities. The fact that different ancient languages have completely different grammatical structures, f…

A simple counter example here is instinctual behaviour. A sea turtle is born, and with little to no guidance, experimentation, or exploration heads to the sea. That knowledge is em…

I think they are accounting for the entire context, they specifically write out: >> P(next_word|previous_words) So the "next_word" is conditioned on "previous_words" (plural), whic…

I read through the whole LW post, and think there's enough troubling evidence here that she shouldn't be dismissed. It certainly shouldn't be flagged. I initially was leaning to th…

I sure hope all the HN commentators confidently predicting this would never happen because of his large donations to the democrats see this.

Thanks for the correction, my understanding of electricity is shaky, and I was assuming everything connected to a wall outlet is AC-driven, unless there's a boxy inverter along the…

I disagree with other commentators here arguing that there's no benefit this monitor would bring over simply reducing screen brightness. But I also think the claim made by the arti…

That kind of innate skeptism is good science though.

Unfortunately, the HN crowd has an incredibly naive view of what journalism is. I think it's mainly a product of ignorance, typically conflating op-eds with the journalism, and fal…

To your credit, at least you got data to begin investigating your claim. I'm usually to lazy to do that...

Okay fair enough, but why look at female founders in terms total valuation percent, then? I think my point about the distortion from the (likely) exponential distribution of total …
