What do you mean by "no evidence"?

Doesn't have to be the same person either. A sloppy work safety culture is contagious.

Maybe it's better now, but Blu-Ray looks substantially better in how color gets encoded. It's not a limit in the format, there just isn't enough bitrate in streaming to get dithering-like effects to go through.

The Lightcone Infrastructure forum stack. I don't know why it has an assistant.

It is known that current models have terrible sample efficiency. I've been told that it's better than I thought it was, but it still isn't good .

Wait, I think I somehow knew Epoch AI was getting money from OpenAI. I'm not sure how, and I didn't connect any of the facts together to think of this problem in advance.

Very few people were told the nature of the funding.

It would work. There are guides for obliterating (large) animals with explosives. An RPG would be safer if it's still moving.

Flash crash. It's really hard to put in fair minimum times on things. A basic delay isn't really any better.

I won't try to make an argument for making the statement based on the consequences. I suggest grace as the reason you should do it. > You should actually be worried about how future Claude's will view Anthropic given the eth

Are you sure about this? I'm not saying I disagree, but 1) "decision theory" doesn't have to be very complex if there is "no one" (no AI system) powerful enough to bargain with, an AI can just do what it wants

What is the game is this one of those "gamer" things? You're 14 and 10 years late respectively for Ready Player One and Friendship is Optimal . Oh, and there's a bunch of even older stuff going back to the 80s.

God damn it. So far we've got the Harry Potter fan fiction, the My Little Pony fan fiction, the pop-sci book Gates is talking about, and one actual book, Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction by R. Sutton. We need something that&#x

There's probably not enough training data. People use Python with LLMs because it's what works, not because it's the best language. Anything rarer starts having issues.

That's not bad though, by the preferences of the people driving the cars. I've done a couple very informal low sample count surveys, and as far as I can tell the result of pricing in the externalities and building what mass transi

Induced demand is good. People just complain about it with cars due to what they claim are excessive environmentally detrimental externalities.

He wasn't. He stated from the start that all of his stories were gimicked to remove the singularity. This theory does not do that.

Yes, okay, but what is the text "they don't they they're supposed to??" supposed to mean? Is it missing the word think ? A different word?

> Might be that nerves just don't grow b/c they don't they they're supposed to?? What do you mean by this? I'd appreciate jvanderbot having another go at typing out their thought.

Yes, the part about Sonic Hedgehog and "distal aminos" refer to a similar subject to the paper.

Neither is African. I don't think you would get away with a similar statement regarding Africans even though it's fully true that African isn't a race.

I haven't read the literature, but if what you've said is close to right I don't buy CCC. There's too many alternative explanations that fit the data at least as well. Infinity is a big number though, if stat mech lets i

I'm not saying I disagree. If a philosopher rejects the Hard Problem, they need to come out and say it, especially if they are disagreeing with the computer scientists and Turing. That's not the most usual position.

How could the universe be cyclic? There would need to be some strange self-consistency/teleology thing forcing it to collapse each time. Generally seems doubtful. Are black holes needed right now? If not, you can't argue off sel

Aren't only the books in Harry Potter cannon? The movies are segregated, if anything from the overlap period fed back into the books it was probably a mistake.

I don't think that's true. If you're paranoid you can build a very simple and easy to audit device that lets packets through exactly every x microseconds, with a short buffer to prevent timing via dropouts. Works fine for dig

Will they? Given the structure of global controls on GPUs, Nvidia is a de-facto self funding US government company. Maybe the US will do something if GPU price becomes the limit instead of the supply of chips and power.
