Philosophy time: Does this mean in 400 years it's possible we no longer disagree about how to evaluate things? i.e. we converge on one totalitarian utility function that everyone basically accept answers every possible trolley dilemma?

It's the concept of a pfand system that involves a token. The token is ridiculous and makes no sense. I've actively interrogated GPT4 on it and it becomes increasingly nonsensical trying to explain it. Possession of the cup itself

Then can someone explain why the obscene and completely ludicrous "pfand" token system is so common still in Eastern Germany?

I read this to the end, and was presently surprised that the takehome wasn't: "Don't use salt, it gave my friend cancer."

It would be quite nice if there were a community-based way of sharing fingerprints.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re no

Same. This is me: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=eQ1uJ6UAAAAJ&hl=es And post.harvard.edu has been sunsetted for alums, so I don't have that email either.

That is incredibly confusing. If you are showing a demo landing page, then definitely don't make the demo landing page selling the same product that you are selling. "Bootstrap your landing page with ConvertFast UI" uhhh and

See also https://shipixen.com/ which generates Shad/CN landing pages for real. The output of that has been good to work with, even for us as people new to next.js. We also were looking at https://pro.magicui

German polizei search culture blows my mind though. When festival buses are going to Fusion Festival (think Burning Man), it's common knowledge that half the buses will be stopped and "controlled", i.e. warantless search of a

Thank you for the SPAG paper. Do you know how to play questions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3xIs0aajN4 (Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead). The important question in the OpenAI work that you haven&#x

Warren Buffett proposed that the stock market should be open less frequently, like once a quarter or similar. This would encourage long-term investing rather than reacting to speculation. Regardless, there are no natural events that necessi

Thank you for this. It appears to be an exceedingly elegant take on modeling uncertainty in planning and search. There's something quite potent about changing the task to be variable-length, but also forcing the agent to account for it

This is not overfitting precisely because of the bias/variance tradeoff. A model overfits if it is unnecessarily COMPLEX for the training data. If there is bias in the training (and validation and test) data that allows a SIMPLE model

LLMs are trained with the objective: “no matter what, always have at least three paragraphs of response”. and that response is always preferred to silence or “unfriendly” responses like: “what are you talking about?” Then yes, it is being t

I haven’t really grokked this work yet well enough to critique it, but to answer your question: Yes you could incorporate a semantic equivalence dataset into your training but: 1) when you have a bunch of ‘clear-cut’ functions (“achieve goo

Besides the other nice reasons people offered, because "stealthing" (when someone removes a condom during sex without the other person's consent or lies about having put one) is remarkably common, and not as easily noticed as

Why doesn't this site have any way to contact the maintainer? Even their TOS makes it seem like they aren't an actual company (the counterparty is "RepoCloud.io")

Perhaps instead of new tools to compete with the entrenched, we should be building new frontends. How many people forced to use JIRA or Salesforce would jump at the opportunity to have a better interface?

What does "privacy first" mean in this case? My understanding is the plausible, unlike GA, doesn't use cookies. Does that mean web analytics are IP-only? [edit: Or does it mean no third party sees your analytics?]

If we want to be precise (and it seems like you do): AI = machines doing human-like tasks. ML = machines learning to do stuff. Doing financial modeling or code-base security auditing 100x better than a person is good ML and not AI at all.

No, it's not really whataboutism at all. Whataboutism is when two entities are doing shitty stuff with roughly commensurate negative impact. Versus dinging an endeavor that might have net positive impact (AI might REDUCE environmental

You could use archivebox with the archivebox web extension. And then use a separate offline / batch process to embed and RAG your archive.

I've been curious about historious for a while, but I want to ask how it's different from pinboard. From what I can see, they both have the ability to archive / FTS your bookmarks. But in terms of API access, historious only
