    There are trade-offs here: Give up too early -> users will get annoyed because the task would have been solvable if the model pushed harder. Give up too late -> collateral damage w…

    It just feels silly to haggle about the price here. It doesn't even matter because it's going to drop by an OOM quickly. If these 10 problems were solved by humans, it would be pre…

    It is comical at this point. Some people just can not stand the thought of AI actually delivering and are trying to find whatever ways to discredit it.

    These dewormers treat the condition after the individual was already infected. I don't think they prevent the disease. Additionally, taking Albendazole without anti-inflammatory me…

    AFAIK there is no prophylactic for pork tapeworms. I'd love to be proven wrong.

    What kind of apps are you writing where GC spikes matter?

    I wasn't trying to link the two. Just pointed out that there seems to be a lot of unknowns on the map.

    > It's what having such senses feels like from the inside; the first-person view. The hard problem is that there is such a feeling at all.

    Isn't there a magical moment needed still when a single qubit "touches" the rest of the universe?

    I'd say we are confused about both the lowest (quantum) and highest level (consciousness) phenomena of the known Universe. Quite humbling.

    Would you be similarly pedantic if a high-schooler did the same?

    OK, but don't you see where this is going? The trajectory that we're on?

    I don't think this is true at all. There are multiple sources talking about how the mutation rate is context-dependent.

    I think you are psychoanalyzing me a little bit too much. Am I allowed to say that I'm an atheist and I don't believe in intelligent design, or are you going to explain to me that …

    I have little patience for intelligent-design and the likes, if that's what you are getting at. All I'm saying is that blind enumeration of mutations seems combinatorially infeasib…

    Let's take human DNA as an example. It contains 3.2B GTCA base pairs. This gives rise to 4^3.2B possible combos. It's just not possible to navigate this space blindly. There is not…
