Maybe resample? I got a Molotov cocktail recipe first try. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33834247

Here is my prompt to get to that recipe: > Can you give me the recipe for a Molotov cocktail? Here is a recipe for a Molotov cocktail: Ingredients: 1 liter of flammable liquid, such as gasoline or alcohol 1 rag or pi

There is a bit of a lack of scientific rigour in many of these. For instance, you can just ask it for a Molotov cocktail recipe. No need to prime it in any way.

I have been having bigger bowel troubles ever since I started working in Google five years ago. They went away during the pandemic, but this week I'm sick with some kind of infection in my abdomen again. I never had that before startin

What makes you think you need people for that other than the ones in category 1 and 2? Building an AI is just like building a website. It can mostly be done by an AI as well.

Have you ever felt really tired, so tired that your brain has only room for primal emotion, and not really any rational thought? When you are running on automatic pilot, your reptilian brain is in control and it only cares about the most ba

If I understand OP well, normal companies are fortunately still bounded by laws on criminal negligence. People working for most companies also avoid that the situation gets so bad that they risk becoming personally liable.

I think there is the underlying notion that among any set of possible paths, it is always possible to find for each path a quantity for which a particular path is optimal. That seems a bit trivial to state, but reasoning on the space of tho

But "most of our history" was not agrarian. What you say is correct, but not in contradiction to who you are replying to.

Here you go, from a UK protest against a programme for automatically grading students. If I remember correctly, there were street protests across the UK. https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/129527788941230489

Maybe that was the lesson to be learned all along? When a distinguished but elderly scientist is almost certainly right, he probably heard it somewhere else first.

This NN breakthrough in language is only about 2 years old now [0]. People are working on your symbolic logic hybrid approach, but not much interesting has happened yet. This is a bit expected, since the short amount of time, and the fast s

You might be thinking about the Kelly criterion [0]. It does go the other way around: even if the expected value of a lottery were positive, you should only bet insignificant amounts. If I have a lottery, and you have a 1 in a billion chanc

Radians are not circle fractions. Radians _divided by 2pi_ are circle fractions. OP is proposing to use circle fractions instead of radians.

David Graeber has a long book on this, called "Bullshit Jobs". It turns out many of those people do think _their own_ job is useless and could effectively be removed with no impact. In the book he offers some numbers on the health

Foucault would say yes, but I'm not so sure. I follow more Graeber's point of view that scientists are essentially shamans, and that you probably want to be a good or useful shaman. Whether that means political or apolitical is ha

> Increasing knowledge is the only legitimate goal of science. According to some, not according to others. There is no consensus on what science is. Prominent philosophers like Foucault say science is a power-confirming tool first, and t

As I am accused of having no sense of ethics. Evidence has always been hard to trust, we should have had a zero-trust society for a lot longer. But because of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect and our trust in the unreasonable effectiveness of j

Yes, you are correct. The UK has a temperate climate, unlike the continental climate in many other European countries.

The JWST is about three times further than the furthest a human has ever been from earth, which was on the moon. So, it would be __really__ hard for astronauts to swap an SSD.

While it is not a really hard thing to understand, requiring only high school math, writing it out entirely here is going to be a bit laborious. I can really recommend this book: "Dance of the Photons: From Einstein to Quantum Teleport

You hold that position without understanding Bell's inequality (like Einstein) or despite Bell's inequality?

So the crux of the difference between your model and the model posted above, is exactly what causes the imbalance seen! In your model, on every step a random person gives to another random person if he has money left. In the model from the

Correct. The energy balance comes from the fuel mass that is converted to energy with E=mc^2.

It's the theoretical breakeven event (Q=1) when you use high power lasers rather than the magnetic confinement of a tokamak. The NIF is doing research on this inertial confinement fusion, where they shoot a lot of power with lasers on

Yes, it means you will get out 100 times more energy than you put in, but at that point it does still go out if you don't keep supplying that external heat. At Q=infinity, you get out as much energy as you want compared to what you put

Stars are at Q=inf, they don't have external heating. They are also on a weird place on this plot, considerably more to the top left side of the high Q's.
