The bright side is that it should eventually be technically feasible to create much more powerful and effective guardrails around neural nets. At the end of the day, we have full a…

I get the feeling that you're winging the specific numbers because they're spectacularly incoherent. But anyway, the United States is extremely rich and has essentially no big prob…

Even the US median household income is "only" $83k. Looking at stuff like this + the rest of the blog I'm not convinced the author is any less out of touch than the people this pos…

There's nothing wrong with being in debt per se, and in particular, (federal) student loans and mortgages are loans rigged in favor of the borrower.

Do you recall which paper it was? I would be interested in reading it.

It's frustrating how far you can go out of your way to avoid being associated with such superficially similar tropes and still fail miserably. Yudkowsky in particular hated that he…

> I'd argue that the biggest reason machines are black boxes are because no one is bothering to look inside of them. People do look, but it's extremely hard. Take a look at how har…

Error correction is possible even if the error correction is itself noisy. The error does not need to accumulate, it can be made as small as you like at the cost of some efficiency…

The previous poster was actually inviting you to expound on the other reasons.

> Math fans tend to discount and dismiss applied statistics as being not math, in a way that they don't do for physics, for some reason I don't fully grasp. It's because we're secr…

Might be the other ingredients reducing inflammation, widening your clogged pipes and letting stuff drain.

I think mathematicians looking at that expression would curl their lips in mild disgust, but also evaluate it to True.

Depends how the flow goes. It's reasonable to only check the diagonal when one player has actually played on the diagonal, in which case this is fine.

I like good handwriting, but good, fast handwriting takes thousands of hours of practice. We used to spend a good chunk of school drilling it into kids, but now it's really hard to…

We really have no way to know this. But I would be very surprised if modern chess engines didn't regularly blunder into losing (from the perspective of a hypothetical 32-piece tabl…

Practicality of reproducing training runs that cost tens of millions aside, it's hopeless. Determinism is hard enough with a single GPU, fixing a seed isn't going to be much help w…

It's relatively trivial to get an LLM that does that and every big lab has one, even if they're not selling them. ChatGPT 4o as of right now just runs python code, which I guess is…

Or you're using a log scale because your effects span many orders of magnitude, or whatever. The specifics are not particularly central to my point beyond that it isn't too hard to…

If at the end of the day you have to compare wildly different things, you have to compare wildly different things. Usually this will involve making a judgment call about how to wei…

Only if they are measured on a scale allowing negative values for outcomes and sufficiently high values for service. It would be unsurprising to have outcomes measured from zero an…

I'm not quite sure how exactly to interpret your question, but untreated type 1 diabetes usually kills you within five years of diagnosis.

> It's not perfect, but the friction helps prevent drive-by bad behaviour. > No it doesn't. There's really no use in continuing this discussion when one party is unable/unwilling t…

Most projects with an active user-created mods community are heavily influenced by them.

Stack the vectors up so it's a matrix and take the determinant. The sign tells you which one it is.

Rest in peace.
