As long as we are sharing Chats from GPT, I am also having chats about AI risks. I asked it to look into history for patterns regarding 4 different scenarios: 1. Carefully controlled technology -> Increased Risk 2. Haphazard release of t

Yes thanks for pointing it out. Mental illness, I thought, was correlated with higher intelligence. Especially depression, though there is also the legend of the mad genius. When I looked up studies to reference this it looks like the lands

I think it's a specific kind of Ad Hominim. It's not even a great Ad Hominim because folks like John Nash who did have mental illness were really gifted in other areas. I was about to post a study that even showed that mental illn

Depending on the circumstances this statement can be perfectly logical. But as far as I can tell, circumstances are still scant.

I don't think history, looking back at this moment, is going to characterize this as god-like powers. Monumental, like the invention of language or math, but not like a god.

Nuclear codes, assuming they are using modern cryptography would not be spat out by any AI, unless they were leaked publicly. Bigger concern would be the construction of a bomb, which, still, takes a lot of hard to hide resources. I'm

So if someone appears "strong", does that mean they are also "weak"? "Strong" → "Appears Weak" "Weak" → "Appears Weak" ⊕ "Feigns strength" Everyone is "weak" ∨

Isn't the intention of public vs private supposed to cover the "tagging of code for a particular context"? Or maybe we need more specific semantics around this that can cross cut the domain that public and private (and protec

I'm curious, why couldn't the list of generic types play nice with functions operating on lists of interfaces?

More irony: - Forgetting to look at the calendar - Forgetting to look at the to-do list -> Make a different to-do list - Have 10+ to-do lists - Forgetting what the to-do even refers to - Discover emacs org mode, it can link everything to

What a fascinating project! He has a quote from another article here: I don't like naming parameters of functions. Using bruijn indices is a universal reference independent of the function and can actually help readability if you&#

I'm not surprised people still don't know functional programming at all. It is really such a different way of programming, and if you don't try to write an entire project using the style, it's just too easy to fall back

I'm obsessed with interfaces at the moment. How do humans interface with computers and data, from control to visual feedback. How humans interface with music, perform it, read it, store it. How do birds interface with tones and rhythm?

I have a tangential question that is related to this cool new feature. Warning: the question I ask comes from a part of my brain that is currently melted due to heavy thinking. Context: I write a fair amount of Clojure, and in Lisps the cod

You can still see it, but you pay less attention to it, in some cases if the color has no meaning to you, then it you become attention blind to it. I used to not pay any attention to colors, but I heard men have high rates of color blindnes

This reminds me of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle but at a much deeper and more generalized level.

The graph needs a legend. Explaining the graph in the several paragraphs below and then cross referencing shape names and spatial relationships, is not a fun game to play.

This was the conclusion of René Descartes and the meaning behind "I think, therefore I am". It was the only safe conclusion he could come to after a deep series of introspection. Once he got there, he systematically built up a new

Your analogy is interesting to me. I definitely see the parallel, but I'm not actually sure this is true. A lot of the deep functional stuff I'm learning right now are more about finding connections and shortcuts between things th
