This is in fact exactly what happens in Texas. I've met many people who attended UT whose parents or friend's parents did exactly that for the explicit purpose of increasing their chances of their child being in the top 7% of thei

Indeed, though to do it this way would be very wasteful of resources as the ratio of the manhole size to the size of the cover wouldn't be maximized. The cover would be needlessly covering a lip whose large size only exists because of

This is what my intuition tells me about the idea that one should only do JIT learning and onboard to an idea only over a weekend. I'm guilty of it, but when I've taken the deeper dive, I feel it has paid dividends down the road.

Most aren't able to get foreign bank accounts in which to store their money. If it was easier to do that your friend would've done it. And I'm under no delusions that much of the crypto market isn't more than a glorifie

This is a very important point about shifting the calculus of automating human labor when doing it incompletely. There are still big debates in the self driving car world between people who want to get to level 2-3 (partial/conditional

This is very true from what I've seen, but it doesn't mean managers who only do 3 hours of work aren't worth their daily wage. There are many programmers who only realistically do 3 hours of programming, but spend others thin

My best friend is Venezuelan and I assure you there are real humans in the world who get real value from a stable digital form of currency that doesn't require a central bank account. The only ones they can legally have are ones in the

To be fair most religions are pretty cookie cutter as well. The Abrahamic ones even share text and repurpose holidays from other local cultures. Buddhism is the only popular one that is pretty uniquely cool, Sidhartha was pretty original.

One has to wonder, if demand for unbiased, non-partisan, reasonable, complete, measured, historically aware, accurate, non-inflammatory political news coverage exists, why is it only available via C-Span? Seems like the American public have

This is the answer I fundamentally agree with on this subject. Super Mario 64 for N64 is a part of humanity's cultural and history, and the supply of similar items will only decrease over time. The expected value is possible for severa

I feel like that would have a much worse effect/cost ratio than going to the gym and buying nicer clothes.

I'm quite interested to see the study that showed infection rates amongst children in lockdown districts weren't significantly different than those with in person attendance. If you could link to such a study, it would be worth a

Makes me think you could have the character stats and game design decisions as parameters, and have it select characters based on attributes rather than hit encoding of their simple identities (names) but from what I know of LoL the unique

Doesn't this ignore the real world realities of economies of scale though with the physical materials being used? I'd enjoy a bit deeper explanation for this if you don't mind. :)

This is only a problem if you care about predictable rate of blocks being mined right? What reasons besides predictable inflation are there for desiring that property?

Dogs have achieved an unbroken chain of survival dating back as far as your ancestors have, so they've achieved the same survival goals as you. They've managed to do so without our intellectual abilities, which goes to prove that

Well the failure of multilayer perceptrons to converge into useful models was because of limited compute scale, which eventually was solved with the advent of powerful GPU's and CUDA popularising using their parallel computationa meant

Makes me wonder if anyone has looked into using genetic algorithms combined with RL where the genetics determine the reward function. This seems to be how humans have evolved. Ultimately, all living animals are here based on only one reward

Yes, the wisdom of his statements jumps from "utterly nonsensical" to "occasionally somewhat correct" if you interpret what he says with the same leniency you might a 12 year old. For example, he probably meant immune by

When it comes to solving complex AI problems I always like to think, if I had given a human this task, what would they want to know. And I think even a human would struggle winning the character select mini game just with tabular data relat
