I think this is a decent feature, however he has completely soured the general publics view of him and any of his ideas, with his erratic behavior and laughable understanding of engineering, with videos showing him mocking Twitter engineers

The lack of "depth" from AI systems is not too hard to understand. Consider some ML network that describes some "problem space". Note that this network does linear algebra to transform input data into some output, and th

I'm not sure what "conventional wisdom" was upended. Basal metabolic rate doesn't change so much with age, and metabolic rate is largely affected by your weight, muscle mass, and activity. This stuff is well known in the

It can produce boiler-plate code right now, although the depth and integration to actual libraries and frameworks seem a bit lacking. However, I guess the question is if any movie producers or studios would actually care to make scenes show

Perhaps the "crypto" fans never really understood how crypto work, and never actually read Satoshi's original paper on Bitcoin. That is, the value of the blockchain comes from essentially a distributed, immutable source of tr

Perhaps music should return to the 1700s era, where music could mostly be heard in taverns or formal concert halls?

It's funny in that some classical purists probably thought of Bob Dylan's music as trivial and overly simplistic. I think criticism of music is fine if the comparisons make sense (dynamic range loss from over compression, over-mas

Is this a trick question? A data scientist can become a software engineer and a software engineer can become a data scientist. Both involve compute and data structures in different domains, with a different set of tools and frameworks. Form

How exactly are they entangling the 2 qubits at room temperature? And how are they doing quantum error correcting? If I were to guess, I think they are lazily slapping on "quantum computing" to some system where QM is used to desc

Perhaps the only way to hinder bot production of text would be for all forums/social networks to impose hard to perform captchas that bots have a lower probability of solving in a certain time constraint. The bots could integrate captc

Indeed, it's an amazing gaming platform. I love Thrill of the Fight and Pro Era!

Working for 2x FAANGs, management incentives engineers to work on new features and not on integration testing and optimization. Quality, testing, automation are highly looked down upon and generally don't give huge refreshers come revi

I reminds me of study methods that involve "memorizing" as opposed to thinking about the problem, and applying various methods to solve it. It can solve some algorithm problems at a certain level, but struggles at a detailed answe

Attention seeking seems a bit rampant these days. Quanta is generally a reliable source, but it's troubling to see even researchers either ignorantly given opinions on topics they know nothing about, or dishonestly inflate the content

I think it's the only way they can garner interest and gain more funding. Fusion energy has always "50 years away." I agree it's a bit misleading but what else can LLNL do to attract more funding? I'm really not qui

I don't think that YouTube cites any sources that show there's scenarios where metabolism is significantly different for net weight and other health outcomes, when it comes to low fat vs low carbohydrate diets. There might be some

I think this is not so surprising, given that the calories are not restricted in the study. High carb, low fat foods I think are not satiating relative to low carb, high fat foods. As an example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#

Indeed, I recall Storyboards were nice for a first layout, but constraints were iffy on the Storyboard, and in the end, a lot of more complex UIs just had to be written programatically. I remember around maybe 2013?, there was a UI componen

Reminds me of Visual Studio drag and drop to generate UIs for Windows apps, or Xcode's storyboard for drag and drop UIs. Interestingly, Apple is transitioning to SwiftUI which is declarative. Nice to see an increase in drag and drop UI

Perhaps this can be modeled mathematically (non-rigorously)? For some problem space C with dimensionality d, a mechanical or biological system can be described by the tuple s = (x0, x1, ..., xd) which describes a starting, stable configurat

I think you have to be careful here, given CNN is likely to label opinions/facts from Fox News as lies, and Fox News is likely to label opinions/facts as lies. False claims of certain emergency events, such as claiming there'

A free speech absolutist should attempt to preserve the opinions of his dissenters the most, given there's temptation to censor those with contrary views, particularly when the contrary view is given in a snarky tone. Clownlon, if he w

It's a fair point, that there must be some criteria for some individual or lab to compete for funding. It might be worth creating a stronger distinction between truly novel papers, and general scientific papers, that goes beyond an inf
