It might feel good but spiking your blood sugar isn't healthy for you, and the crashes afterwards will get worse over the years. Improving metabolic health might be a better long term solution; have you explored how endurance or high i

The nature of the content is an important variable to control for in future work, but the primary negative impact appears to be via the devastating effect on human attention. From the paper: "repeated exposure to highly stimulating, fa

My experience is from another prominent AV company; I do not have Waymo insider knowledge.

The better part of a decade as a SWE at another AV company. In practice the latency is a not a concern, I was just sharing some trivia.

I don't have any specific knowledge about Waymo's stack, but I can confidently say Waymo's reaction time is likely poorer than an attentive human. By the time sensor data makes it through the perception stack, prediction/

Isn't this ruling out outlier observations given our model, rather than evaluating our model given outlier observations?

The von Neumann architecture is not ideal for all use cases; ML training and inference is hugely memory bound and a ton of energy is spent moving network weights around for just a few OPs. Our own squishy neural networks can be viewed as a

Given the elegance of the wave equation, I like to imagine there are solutions with some sort of symmetry and structure. We are unfortunately missing the tools and knowledge to find these solutions today!

Very neat, this reminds me of the organic shapes of passive demultiplexers in photonics such as https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.7b00987

Good list, I'm also keeping an eye on Tri Alpha Energy and First Light Fusion. TAE recently announced [1] initiating a field reversed configuration with no plasma injectors, only neutral beam injection, which is a pretty big deal in si

Thank you for the excellent writeup of some extremely interesting work! Do you have any opinions on whether binary networks and/or differentiable circuits will play a large role in the future of AI? I've long had this hunch that w

A good parallel is writing books. Books can cost little to write and publish, but their success is Pareto distributed, not Normally distributed.

As a counterpoint, if I were to be teleported naked onto an abandoned island 10000 years ago and could bring one "tool" with me, a solar powered terminal with an LLM would be my #1 pick. An able-bodied and resourceful individual e

Given our developing understanding of the importance of the human microbiome, which includes fungi (the mycobiome), I steer clear of anti fungal preservatives in my food personally. Just because something has been used since 1955 doesn'

I have been shark diving at the Farallon's. We didn't end up seeing any sharks, but it was a remarkable experience. We sailed on a 65ft research sailing vessel and the crew was incredibly professional and a lot of fun. You can boo
