Everybody knows it's not a sure thing, it's a question of trustworthiness. OpenAI is not trustworthy at all; this random researcher is and seems honest so far. iThe fact that people are corroborating Bubeck being a piece of shit i

They keep saying 'we' and 'our' but I'm pretty sure this is an 'I' and 'my' thing.

I dunno, I like math and I still think automatically solving problems is worth doing. If problem-solving is a hobby then it will still be a hobby after all this. If it's about doing things for humanity--which it often is since many tho

it seems like a person could cheat by finding an open problem that's AI-solvable ahead of time (by trying many problems), and then pretend to do it for the first time in the competition. You can't verify past chat logs so make sur

sorry I edited my comment because I wasn't quite sure what I meant by that either. I am too sleepy. But, I disagree. partial functions B->A are just a superset of functions B->A, so requiring g to be partial is just relaxing a re

I think a slightly better fix is to change definitions to allow g = { (1, {}) } to be regarded as a left-inverse to g, that is, to allow left-inverses to be partial functions, rather than full functions. The definition still requires they

that's not really how eigenvalues work... they specifically also model the case where the result keeps changing exponentially.

well I didn't say anything about needing complex structure or sounding impressive. But I don't like it. It trivializes the expression of emotion in a way I don't like and I don't think people should emulate. It feels lik

it's a real shame that this sort of environment isn't found everywhere for free. I'm pretty sure the people who would thrive in it are out there and it's just a coordination problem. a lot of people love their jobs becau

"Aiding and Abetting" crime is also a crime. Free speech has nothing to do with it.

we really do not want to engineer a system in which using bugs to make money is considered economically legitimate activity. It is still crime. The main reason to report bugs and get the bounties for doing so is still because it makes the w

the fact that they are sometimes communicated by email doesn't mean that the best way to communicate them is by email. Personal correspondence references are specifically terrible as references since you can't go read them...

Dunno who you're arguing with, I didn't say they didn't produce anything of value. I said they aren't producing scientific papers. Conversations are not like papers. The scientists have conversations (sometimes on mailin

The linux developers' mailing lists are not producing anything like scientific papers...

You think that people's findings should be communicated by email? that their email chains are what should go into the permanent record and be cited and printed out and included in journals and such? would you include all the quoted tex

you're completely wrong, (intelligent) Americans are completely aware of the concept and more-or-less think in those terms regularly. You won't find the term in speeches but that's because in America speeches are essentially

I normally have no autobiographical memory, but once I went to a weeklong meditation retreat and around the second day it sorta all showed up at once. Anecdotal but perhaps interesting.

I'm sure it's not, because most of the time I'm aphantasic and rarely I'm not and they're completely different phenomenological experiences.

I imagine that Dr Bronner's unhingedness is a net asset for the brand. I always prefer to buy things that seem less sterilized by corporateness.

It is real but it's about the unaccountability, dishonesty, and misanthropy of corporate overlords, rather than about the externalities of data centers per se. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49180901 It was a

I am just assessing the work that I saw. I saw people do stupid things constantly when people could have clearly done better work. It wasn't market pressure, it was just an organization with lax standards and weak leadership. Obviously

I didn't say that AI products aren't related to the market. The problem is not that they're AI it's that they're badly done.

Because it affects people personally? They are using the stuff that's being neglected, and they could be using the stuff that is being half-assed if it's better. And I don't believe it has to do with the market. I've wor

I think that there is a sort of mechanism by which, when a human speaks to you, you can "mirror" their internal mental state, and the quality of writing often corresponds to how much you get pleasure or information or whatever you

yep, agreed. The problem is not "bone cancer charities must have a way of getting their message out!" therefore "they should be able to bug you about it while you're reading an article". The problem is that the thin
