Whether or not this is in dispute, what you're doing here is injecting Trump and an inevitable culture war about him into a thread that's already likely to be contentious. Unless Trump has specific relevance to this dispute, which

The developer interviewed claimed that there was no domain-specific knowledge and implied (though didn't explicitly state) there wasn't any training against non-OpenAI bots or players. (I'd love to know the reward function th

I think you might not know what a meta-analysis is: it's actually a summary of replications and duplicate studies on some topic. Generally (I have not read this particular one!) they are specifically designed to detect potential publ

It's a hard problem. I think there's a simple observation that helps explain why it's going to be so hard (the article hints at this without saying it): a healthy adult man is, more or less, fertile. At all times. If a adult

I think you can easily separate understanding risk from being disappointed that the risky outcome occurred. It's the difference between knowing (or not knowing) that as a poker player, getting it in preflop with AA vs KK is a great id

How did Jefferson do that while not actually being there? Seriously. Jefferson wasn't a delegate at the constitutional convention. He was in France.

How, given arguments in GP, does this actually do anything of value? Note that I do not consider signaling how much we care as valuable.

You are just echoing the politician's syllogism: we must do something, this is something, we must do this. Your point that we could not get anything better is not an excuse for doing something bad .

(I work at Google but don't speak for them; I have access to internal retention data but I'm not looking at it or using it here.) I think 90% retention is (probably?) an underestimate. People tend to look at measurements of tenur

How much do you work out? I like IF a lot too, but when I'm in a heavily active phase of my life--say lifting 3x week, climbing 1x, jiujitsu 3x, and full on dance rehearsals 3x a week--I find I start to crumble unless I eat more to kee

You can actually do adjustable weight sampling in logarithmic time using a modification of the binary search approach, which is likely superior in a lot of cases. The trick is to keep a dense binary tree (arbitrary order--you can use the st

Before we ask about methods...has any American city ever fixed a traffic problem? No, I'm serious: has any city in the US ever had traffic at some (bad) level, implemented some set of new policies, then had traffic drop substantially w

Anyone else a bit disappointed? Normally these letters have some new brilliant insight or dive into a business I know nothing about. This one feels shorter and more peremptory. I see the financials for the major sectors and the same boilerp

The land in question used to be anonymous office buildings owned by...HP or someone like that, if I remember. Apple has taken away precisely what from the public by replacing it with this?

Note that he's not giving a figure for a chemical engine, but a fusion engine (sometimes termed a "torchship" due to the absurd power involved.) That would be strictly more efficient than VASIMR or similar. The figure would

Wait a minute, wait a minute: if I just decide I'm not going to work anymore, they can't fire me if I say it's because I'm protesting for higher wages? And they have to keep paying me?

But in less than 30 months following the Apollo 1 accident, NASA flew five Apollo missions. During the final one of those five, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon. Much later, in the last decade of his life, Ar

Aha, thanks; I didn't realize the first generational section was for an older version. However, the riptide barrier description still isn't 100% clear how it avoids terminating a sweep (I believe "drain" in your terminat

Some accounting only needs to happen when visiting the object for the first time. The complete barrier is simply: object->field = newValue; if (object->cellState == Old) remember(object); This surely elides

I don't hate this (and it's why I don't pay quarterlies--also, I tend to generate enough deductions to be okay.) But it's absolutely not correct that paying people with bonuses lowers their effective tax rate.

by ahh 10y ago
This only affects the withholding of bonuses (the amount the IRS has you pre-pay as an estimate of taxes.) It does not affect the actual income tax on bonuses. (It's mostly a disadvantage. I get about 60-70% of my income in bonus a
