So, for starters, you're going to need a place to live. It needs to be defensible, and it needs a water supply. Ideally, it needs a stockpile of food, for you and every member of your household. This means that you're probably loo

Ironic that the article was literally about caring what other people think or feel, but you're desperate to imagine that people go read this for, what, prestige? You're what's under discussion.

Somewhat offtopic but I've found reading Gwendolyn Leick's comprehensive history of Mesopotamia (~4000BC->1000AD) and it's really helped me understand how civilizations --- successful ones, at least --- consent to ebb and

Dude I'm literally gay. Do you think your kids need to be "protected" from knowing I exist? Is knowing stories featuring gay people a form of sexualization? This is the thinking that rubberized playgrounds. Your precious ch

This works right up until the model is open sourced or otherwise replicable. Put another way, it only works in today's environment. When ML hardware is as widely distributed as classical compute, and all the models are on HuggingFace,

Misses the obvious (and highly effective) strat of using BW as a yubikey adapter. By this I mean: put BitWarden behind MFA login that requires (requires!) a hardware key; now, use BitWarden to store your TOTP; congratulations, you just move

Basically I want to know what the magic looked like that took it from a distinction between two things, and the (apparent, pseudo-) understanding that it understands itself to be one of those two things. Self and other. Do you follow?

I imagine a bootstrap prompt that looks like: - There is. - There is a Large Language Model and there is a world. - ...(magic)... - *You are the Large Language Model.*

It would seem to me that there's a different class of knowledge at play with knowing e.g. that someone is speaking to you. I mean, Google is pretty good at answering questions you type into the search bar, these days, but it doesn&#x27

I believe so. But do please recall that your consciousness supervenes on a maschine made of meat, and spent several billion years wiring itself to get a dopamine hit from, yes, nutrients. It's called walking the gradient ;D There'

We're quickly approaching a tipping-point, where the now-traditional promises of wealth (or at least, wealth's possibility ) are less plausible, and meanwhile, the inequality between winners and losers is skyrocketing. I'm e

My predictions for 2023-2030 2023 will be a year of endings and beginnings. The endings will be dramatic and the beginnings will only be understood in hindsight. Here's what happens. The collapse continues, manifesting now as a culture

Oh! One more critical point for an ELI5! 'Although models that make use of non-invertible, artifical features may still be biased, it's less likely. Using only invertible features eliminates some risks of bias, but not others.&#x2

Great explanation but consider adding blurbs about what makes a feature artificial, what 'invertibility' is, why it's important, and how you could (as you put it) train one's way out of the bias so long as the feature i
