Sorry, does the article actually give reasons why the bell curve is "everywhere"? For simplicity, take N identically distributed random variables that are uniform on the interval from [-1/2,1/2], so the probability distr

My apologies for the late reply. You're right. My proposed solution only addressed AI at scale (web crawlers, mass spam campaigns, etc.) and doesn't address low bandwidth, "high friction" events like PRs, code reviews, b

This is awesome. I think I've heard of other research that's similar to try and speed up Navier-Stokes or other water/smoke/etc. simulation. But this isn't actually recreating murmurations, is it? This is a neural n

Both empirically and theoretically, verification is often much more tractable than discovery. Software development is a highly complex task and verification becomes not just validation of the output but also verification that the work is so

Digital artifacts are the modern form of the means of production. Making digital artifacts available under a libre/free is giving these modern means of production to the public by putting it into the commons. By requiring an interactio

I'm sorry I don't have better statistics but after the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, I think it took roughly 15 years for the stock market to bounce back. Though I could be wrong, I think unemployment was also high, including in t

Thanks for the clarity, I think I have a more consistent view of your ethics now. I'm not sure if it's cultural, but in the US there's a strong sentiment for freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is most important not when peo

My main critique is their non-commercial licensing. For example, the linked article is BY-NC-SA4.0. My critique is pretty minor as most of the technical releases from 100 rabbits, as far as I can tell, is libre/free licensed, with the

2600 is locked into a format that was relevant 30-40 years ago and is nearly irrelevant today. In my opinion, 2600 is pantomiming a hacker aesthetic and have long since abandoned any commitment to an underlying hacker ethos. I'm surpri

Can you talk about the process of getting an FCC license and other legal logistics to broadcast? The technical side, while interesting, is relatively clear to me. The legal side, including cost, is something I have no idea about.

I asked OpenAI. Take an $n$, chosen from $[N,2N]$. Take it's prime factorization $n = \prod_{j=1}^{k} q_j^{a_j}$. Take the logarithm $\log(n) = \sum_{j=1}^{k} a_j \log(q_j)$. Divide by $\log(n)$ to get the sum equal to $1$ and then def
