The section of my comment you quoted directly addresses this! Wall Street can be convinced by a compelling story.

There is already research in the literature showing that LLMs have neurons that model the gender [1], personality [2], ideology [3], and historic era [4] of the author. There’s also evidence that they model the distinction between the belie

It’s understandable why companies try and sometimes succeed at creating a reality distortion field about the future success of their products. Management is asking Wall Street to allow them to make this huge investment (in their own salarie

Do you say similar stuff when someone talks about the motivations of a character in fiction? Do we have to precede every comment with “I’m anthropomorphizing the LLM as a convenient shorthand when describing the behavior it is modeling”? Th

If you look closely at a backlit kindle screen, you can see that the e-ink pixels are a decent distance behind the surface. It’s more noticeable if there are scratches or dust on the screen and you rotate the display. The surface reflects t

This sounds like an issue with the specific UI setup you are using. I have mine configured so it only starts doing stuff if I ask it to. It never interrupts me.

Given every human body is interacting with the world in myriad complex ways, how could you possibly know that your symptoms are caused by the vaccine? Out of the 1000 other factors which affect human health? Isn’t it just a cognitive bias b

I think that’s generally included when you compute total return of an index. For example, Enron should be part of the drop shown in 2001.

I figure whatever they are trying to achieve probably doesn’t work. Otherwise Cash App would do it. But important decision makers are in too deep to admit they were wrong. Smells of turning the Magic Mouse upside down to charge it.

This is a false choice. Sending a 15 ton bus on a route hardly anyone uses is not an efficient use of limited resources. Sending a car (or a wheelchair van) where and when it’s needed would allow transit agencies to provide better service a

I haven’t advocated for privatizing the system. Public transit agencies who see how Uber is beating them at their own game should respond by adapting and improving. Fixing that one route would be a nice first step, but their inability to do

We actually have such a hub and spoke system, but the geniuses put the bus hub pretty far from downtown, and it’s not the same place as the rail hub!

The buses are already unreliable! There’s one nearby route which is notorious for having a driver who simply doesn’t even run the route some of the time. And it’s common in most routes for them to be 0-20 minutes late, which means you need

In my city the buses suck. There are lots of lines going on meandering routes through the suburbs. Not enough routes going between dense areas with high frequency. I desperately wish to take public transit, but it’s normal that the travel t

From a plumbing perspective, the Toto is no different from one of the basic units, you just attach the valve to the toilet’s water supply. For electricity, it depends on your situation but if you have an outlet nearby (eg. where you would p

Grading on effort with a ceiling of a C is pretty different from grading on effort full stop.

It’s up to the local school board to carve up the budget. Usually the top items are salaries, pensions, and health insurance for teachers and staff. If we’re looking for contributors to differences in education spending between the US and o

When I quit a unicorn tech startup several years ago, they sent me an anonymous exit survey. It was was on a name-brand survey platform and the platform’s UI indicated the survey was anonymous. In my later in-person exit interview with a gu
