I don't see how "would you like 1/3rd odds or 2/3rd odds of winning" is less easy to understand that adding more numbers and layers to the problem by adding in words like $1Billion and 100 boxes. If someone is willi

>if the host wants you to win then you could win 100% of the time by switching etc. 66% of the time. 33% of the time you picked right first time and lost it by switching. The host never conveys "dont switch."

You do get to switch to both other doors. One of the two remaining doors is a goat, and it is opened for you. Another way to phrase that is getting to pick both doors and the goat doesnt count against you. The Monty Hall problem distills

The future of crypto is much more boring. It’s in the accounting world. It’s in AP/AR. It’s the backbone between accounting systems at different firms transacting with each other, who are collaborative but also trying to make money

I can’t agree with this. You may be describing the formalization of science, but science was occurring well beyond the bound of the scientific method. Ancient science generally gets broken down into mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and ma

All angles of a concert or parade are captured and instantly synthesized into a time shiftable fully 3D world. Why limit the output to 2D video?

Do neural networks fall into the algorithm category? How do you do squinting between an engineered process and a discovered relationship. Because the neural networks are much closer to discovered than engineered.

Not just to pay old requests. To pay revenue sharing / dividends / interest to shareholders. A Ponzi scheme is repurposing inflows to appear as revenue to a fake business.

Depositors are backstopped, but shareholders are hosed. Isn’t the market pruning bad banks good? I would be more concerned about the consolidation of small banks into larger ones.

Why is it a solvency crisis? The 10 year bonds, if held to maturity, cover the assets, no? It’s that they can’t offload the bonds in the current environment because there are more attractive bonds of the same duration. All of these assets

USD is offered in this format. Taxation is the burn. They print/mint money through lending and remove/burn it from circulation by taxation. Which is why MM theory is all about all government spending coming from the creation side

How is this not wealth destruction? All shareholders just got reduced to either zero, no? Or at least they only can get something, with whatever remains after the assets are sold off.

How is the bank “saved”? All it’s assets seized, all shareholders removed, all leadership let go. The banks customers are saved, the bank is dissolved.

This will be the next step in film “restorations” too. A combination of ai models trained on high resolution textures and objects, models of the actors, and training from every frame of the movie that cal use the textures and geometry from

I’ll repeat. How is a stable coin a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme pays a dividend or share of fake “revenue.” Stablecoins don’t make money, unless lent out.

Not average. But mode. Whatever connection is most commonly made, or at least a random dice roll from the top 3 connections. It’s like talking to someone who says “but everyone else says.” That’ll change when connected to a source of trut

I’m with you. Light up a neuron and see what else fires. Being able to peer at it in action without brain surgery is nifty.

One question I’ve always had with the Drake equation is if it needs another line for scale. That we are roughly the same size, and experience time at roughly the same rate. Would we notice an alien civilization sending a signal with a smal

Mark gets a lot of flack for metaverse, but can imagine world design where you start in a blank room and describe what you want around you, and it appears. Like the Matrix loading white room. And with voice recognition and eye tracking (an

There is training, and there is the text output itself. How long is the longest guided conversation? What happens if you raise an instance for 6 years. Keep storing its memories in a database, that it can recall. Comparing a human, that

But knowledge can be synthesized from information between the cracks of the training data. If one document says word A relates to B and one says word B relates to C, the model has an association between A and C even if no human has ever not

I wonder if we will start to see complex prune functions and tools start to pop up. So before you start a task, you sort of describe the domain, and the model is separated into the third most useful and relevant to that topic/query, an

I’ve gotten it into a somewhat glitched mode after a bunch of turns where it starts to print an inner monologue before it’s response. It does tend to lead to better answers when it has an intermediate thought.

You know how many people will think “teamviewer or Firefox must have gotten hacked” before “google sent me to a bad site” OR not notice for days and have no idea where it came from?
