I wrote the original wikipedia article for this! I haven't read the book just thought it was notable. It was a little tough getting past the editors (the section referencing all those news articles they made me put in to reach notabili

If he actually received $20,000 that still seems like a lot? Especially in a world where freelance writing is $0.01-$0.50 (pre-GPT3). And it sounds like at the time it was good money for the artist. I get that he feels like he was given a s

Chromium has 63,438 open bugs in its bug tracker so the theory remains true, but maybe the broader point is that strong abstractions have enabled us to reach great levels of complexity. Testing, staffing, and programming best practices prob

The issue with the water analogy is that the "water" that the men receive is from the same source as for women therefore is just as salty. But the broader point is true that dating sucks for everyone, men end up feeling undesirabl

The issue here is that Russia and China have recognized that the internet is a powerful channel to introduce propaganda, sow distrust in democratic institutions, and so on [1]. I'm curious what commenters here think should be done abou

This article and many of the commenters are talking about “cost plus” pricing strategy, is perhaps it is more like a comparative-plus-cost strategy. Consider instead a “value” strategy, specifically you can price yourself high and see if yo

I would be interested to see what would happen if they blinded professor interviews to alma mater. Because that might help determine how much of it is bias-- 100%? The inverse correlation would be that people who end up being professors att

That doesn't implement the algorithm nor does it meet the problem because you were able to evaluate all options and not one at a time (whereas you would need to make a irreversible decision on the spot).

One way is to rely on others. If you look up citations of a paper, you can see what other papers say about it. Look especially for meta analysis, where other scientists have gone through and critically evaluated a result, aggregated similar

I think because the moral of the story is the same, which is the airforce switched to customizable controls to support the range instead of over focusing on a single “average”.

Just to dispel any confusion. AI (and specifically deep mind's reinforcement learning) can help with any task the same way computers in general can... you still have to set up the task, inputs, reward function, and so on. It's not

Another point adding on to this, is what if strong AI does reach the level of human intelligence, but is simply very slow? Such that a billion dollar machine is needed to match the thinking speed of one person? Perhaps this wouldn't be

This doesn't mention AGI, which seems to be the prerequisite to this being a possibility. Despite impressive advances in "weak" ai, strong ai is not a simple extension of weak ai, and it's hard to tell if it will arrive
