It’s interesting to hear your perspective. I personally have had the opposite effect from watching these people on YouTube. I find it highly inspirational and I’ve gone out and made interesting projects on my own without them. Not all educa

Some new apartments in 5-over-2 buildings sure. But developers only build apartments in areas that already have high land value, this includes areas like center city, Phila, the loop in Chicago, the central west end in St. Louis, etc,

I’m looking at one for research purposes. Agent based simulation, non-GPU-implementable Ml modeling, large scale data processing. There are a lot of tasks in my work that are greatly sped up by having tons of threads.

It’s more about the people making 30k a year putting up fencing and barely scraping by watching those 300k a year SWEs complain about how they’re wage slaves.

This line in the tractatus is not about the individual’s knowledge it’s about the entire research programme’s ability to know something fundamentally unknowable. In particular Wittgenstein was referring to logical philosophers talking about

That’s an interesting thing you point out. I’m a computational social scientist and I’ve really only seen this with colleagues whose native language doesn’t have pluralization morphology to begin with (East Asians usually). Since code is an

We care about both, so we use different measurements for both.

“PhD student” is a more than full time research job. In terms of the experience it’s not unlike being an analyst or a fresh lawyer.

Yes people are working on it. The thing you’re missing is that many of the contexts where the money actually is being spent is not really relevant to the public discussion around AI generated content. It’s more about making sure that nobody

For me that movie was mainly about how creative the effects artists were honestly.

Imagine instead that you’re sitting on a swivel chair and you fire a gun with your right hand. This is more akin to how ejection of materials work. When you put your hands out on the swivel chair, the hands are still attached and are forced

Yeah all those high end headphones with famously crackling connections.

I’m not sure why the idea that the cars will talk to each other is so “moonshot”. We have much more impressive pieces of infrastructure in place already. What might be moonshot is my proposal that it should be run by the US Postal Service.

This argument seems to have an unsavory consequence. There’s nothing wrong with excluding and persecuting minority groups because they’re not part of the nation. With a country like China, where the now-majority Han culture colonized the mi

I wonder if reducing the bit depth of parameters like we have been acts as a normalization feature in these huge deep models.

The problem is that you’ve identified two distinct and non-overlapping sets of people as “everyone”. Everyone who was applauding 3.5 when it came out were industry hype people. Even the critical voices were industry hype people, paid to as

I recently used Jaccard similarity as a measurement of distance between two sets of online articles. It’s amazing how versatile it is for all sorts of weird tasks.

My understanding is that these places slowly accumulate their own libraries for some semi-automated framework (like svelte for example, though I don’t think this is svelte). This knowledge comes from my working in a media watchdog, and my o

Unfortunately the cheese cloth solution doesn’t work if you’re cold-fermenting an enriched/fatty dough in the fridge, as it can pick up “fridge flavor” without a lid or plastic wrap. For very long ferments (cold proofing sourdough for

At least in my experience, the aws docs are difficult to understand at best, and horrifically outdated and contradictory at worst.

No matter what country you’re in, the military is in a position of authority (except maybe Costa Rica). Generally people consider a lie to be worse if it’s a lie you can use to get power.

The thing is, the “good” models can’t reconstruct the image in detail. It’s considered a sign of “overfitting” if you reconstruct the input exactly. Even if you put the exact query that was associated with that image, you’ll get the weighte

Really bothersome that the one example cited here is Pecking House, which has a months -long queue. His strategy requires a certain amount of abundance, and will not necessarily work for every dumpling shop and deli in America.

I was mainly trying to highlight the difference in scale and focus between these two programs of detaining people. Even if we add another order of magnitude of people for your upper bound it’s still smaller in scale than the gulags, and it’

Not arguing for gitmo’s continued existence, but I would point out that the gulag system was a primary tool of oppression in the Soviet Union, and an estimated 18M soviet citizens were sent there. Over the course of Guantanamo’s existence u

Looking at the code adding another piece should be doable since I don’t think any pieces call other pieces attributes, and the pieces at game start are just objects in a list…

I’m not an expert on these kinds of devices so take this with a grain of salt, but it’s my understanding that while radar cannot be shielded, sonar can.
