    I worked at Meta for roughly a decade, and have very little faith left in its leadership. I’m waiting for someone to play the child in The Emperor’s New Clothes and finally say the…

    Suffered for a decade till I discovered this. I’d reached a point where I was actively skeptical about anything working, till this worked out. Good luck!

    Observational studies can have synthetic controls. The term, as such, doesn’t mean precisely what you think it means.

    Those invoking Dunning-Kruger are, with high probability, an instance of just that :) (also, see the comment below that touches upon the many gaps in the original paper, which is a…

    Magnesium Glycinate has been a game changer. My legs used to be tense to the point of cramping at night, and they’re now relaxed, enabling better sleep. I also use L-theanine as an…

    The same folks who informed him about how awesome Behemoth was?

    Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit; personally have a preference for pigs since they’re benign and good-natured creatures.

    Huh? I was addressing a specific claim - not even sure what you’re trying to refute.

    I don’t know what definition of intelligence you’re using, but scoring extremely well on math tests qualifying him for that study is fully aligned with the psychometric POV.

    Hope so (ex-Meta, and hold a couple of million dollars of their stock, but quite dislike the company).

    Your impression about his intelligence is way off. Mark was part of the study for mathematically precocious youth, which has a math cutoff at the 1/10K rarity. He also has ambition…

    “ getting a 2100/1500+ on the SAT” Typo? 2100/2400 << 1500/1600 in terms of rarity.

    Common term for about 75% of democrats under 50, who must be Jew-haters, of course. Sorry, ethnonationalism just isn’t a popular ideology, and the word is, in practice, just a shor…

    Hypocrisy is an individual quality, not a collective quality, Zio!

    What brute force? Any citations?

    Illogical collectivist blather suggesting that therefore, Muslims should be treated as a collective, and deprived of rights in Israel? Also, what’s with the “happily”?

    Don’t wrestle with pigs or argue with Zionists about Israel (though the former will at least avoid accusing you of things you’re not).

    Nope, but it’s not particularly unknown either. It shouldn’t be a surprise; he had remarkable research contributions before and after (separately, he was also an IMO gold medalist)…

    Thanks - wanted to point to this, and indeed should have worded my claim more precisely. And yes, am aware of prior work on attention. (I need to look it up, but I recall Noam sayi…

    Love the choice of words by Noam- exceptional team for OpenAI, amazing team for GDM.

    This understates his criticality. The author list was randomized, but the critical idea was truly his. Wonder what this says about GDM …

    Estimates for the Maurya and Gupta periods are significantly more speculative than Mughal estimates. We have reasonably good tax and mint records for the Mughals, whereas Maurya/Gu…
