Your intuition is exactly correct. An investor with tax to offset can essentially access the same future upside at a discount However, this discussion will be a perfect introduction to "finances at this level", where about 60% of

Best lines in this article. But it doesn't get to IMO a very important point: why can't these processes easily be structured? Here are some good reasons: - Your process interacts with an unstructured external world (physical rea

Ok, so you define violence to include advocating for a law that tramples someone rights. The next person says that advocating for laws is its own inalienable right, so you trampled him. And the whole semantic redefinition snake just eats

This is so true. When you get DSA wrong, you end up needing insanely complex system designs to compensate -- and being great at Testing just can't keep up with the curse of dimensionality from having more moving parts.

Those human imperfections likely decrease randomness - for example leaving cards that started adjacent more likely to remain adjacent han by strict chance.

This all day. Programmer since c64, c++, java, f#, python, JavaScript and everything in between. Code was never the point, but it wasn't just commerce either - it's fun making machines do things they couldn't before. AI is

Feels like cultivating acceptance and indifference to your own entanglements is the most isolationist thing you can actually do. To be entangled is to be biased about what's happening to you... do we think the crocodile was indifferen

Drawing on your other comment about spurious correlations, might there be a more direct mathematical test for an unexpectedly high number of aligned correlations?

Trust was its own reason. It's useful for the whole world to have a currency and business environment that operates by rules, even when the rules aren't perfect or fair. That environment isn't being outcompeted by better, mo

I'm totally with you on the value prop at the time we signed up. I was more surprised that it sounds like you are reluctant to delete now, when the company is going through an unpredictable transition. Did I get that right? If so, is

Thanks for the reply - and for the open AI work! > We don't have the action sequence data nor the recipes (emulators) that could make it possible to replicate even on a very small scale what big labs are currently working on. Sounds

Nice and provocative read! Is it fair to restate the argument as follows? - New tech (eg: RL, cheaper inference) are enabling agentic interactions that fulfill more of the application layer. - Foundation model companies realize this and ar

I think the discussion here is confusing the algorithm for the output. It's true that diffusion can rewrite tokens during generation, but it is doing so for consistency with the evolving output -- not "accuracy". I'm u

Your (3) is beautifully said... and to prove the point, we are perfectly able to make computational systems that can manipulate symbols in the same way that Gödel did to verify the incompleteness theorem. Humans and computers are both abl

Is this a job for regulators or just criminal prosecution? Sounds like step (b) is either fraud or not, depending on how the trumpeting gets done.

This quote is important, but in isolation it's not clear that they are claiming to have beat this problem: they are saying the new model, voyage-multimodal-3 instead identifies linked concepts across modalities. That would indeed be p

Wow, so early for generative -- although I assume you were generating parameters that got mapped to mesh positions, rather than generating pixels? I definitely remember that bias about neural nets, to the point of my first grad ML class hav

Not baloney. The culture around data in 2005-2010 -- at least / especially in academia -- was night and day to where it is today. It's not that people didn't understand that more data enabled richer + more accurate models,

When we talk about what class a problem belongs in, we have to define the problem with respect to some scaling axis. For example, coloring with K=3 colors is NP-complete with respect to N = # nodes in the graph, but not with fixed N and sc

Nope, finite number of pieces and finite number of viable moves to check on each. Not sure what you're thinking of, but the entire concept of complexity class only applies if there is some axis of scaling (n-size chess board?).

It seems shocking to me that the server enumerates and transmits all legal next-moves. I get that there could be chess variants with server side information, but the article also says it might be good for constrained clients. Is it really

What a great example of Dunning-Kruger as applied to elites. I remember the spike of interest in DK bias during the pandemic [1], largely as a way of explaining how uneducated folks could be so confidently incorrect about vaccination strat

Well written essay! I fell into a rabbit hole around his quote "context is that which is scarce". After squinting at the linked Tyler Cowen essay, I think it's a convoluted way of saying "context is valuable and a lot o

The underlying problem is how this essay uses the word "own", which is as dictation. In almost any context, ownership should primarily about responsibility for the outcome, with the minimum authority necessary to coordinate work

Not a lawyer but while the streaming seems to be fraudulent, it's less obvious from the evidence presented that the generation itself was. Does anyone believe this sets a precedent for generated content in specific? Ed: oops I see the

Definitely. A teammate pointed out Reddit posts used in training as a probable cause :)

Claude made similar mistakes of generating decryption that was similar to plaintext but with stuff mixed in. I suspect my version of the quote (Miguel de Cervantes) is an apocryphal translation, and there's some utility well on both m

o1-preview . Were you using common plaintexts by chance (e.g. proverbs) or ROT13 specifically? Mine use all the right steps but just can't string them together.
