Do you really think people he met on some random hiking trip are "maliciously ignoring obvious facts" as some convoluted political tactic? Personally I think it's because people have these standard narratives floating around

So is it in some sense similar to having a brain tumour? Some part of the brain is growing too much and depriving others of space?

Send three photons A B C. They arrive at times ta, tb, tc. Compute fraction (tc - tb) / (tb - ta). This can encode any positive real number with arbitrary precision. But clearly you need either very precise measurements or send the pho

Well I didn't think of it in terms of the label auto-brewery syndrome . Rather I was just thinking "I guess the yeast has colonized my gut". How, well because I have seen and listened to fermentation and admired the bubbling

I'm a little surprised there is no mention of flatulence in that article. The reddit post in aaron695's comment does bring it up, and intuitively I think it should be present. I self-diagnosed (so yeah make of it what you will) au

The article seems to hint at her previous gut flora being wiped out by broad-spectrum anti-biotics taken for her recurrent urinary tract infections, thus allowing the fungi in.

Personally I believe in a sort of "evolution" of software that operates independently of intentions of the programmers. I can totally believe that he didn't intentionally obfuscate it, but its incomprehensibility made it hard

Gstreamer must have been a winamp clone right?

No. Rather I think that the diversity is very valuable. Even if Tiktok by itself is worse, it makes the overall mix better. A non-American buyer could also be a solution, again from my perspective. There is a very striking example that happ

As European, the more I think about this Tiktok forced sale the more uneasy it makes me. I don't like our data in Chinese hands, but the almost complete control over social media that America has almost seems worse. From my point of vi

Make me wonder if, when forcing it to do structured output, you should give it the option of saying "error: invalid assumptions" or something like that.

That might be a more palatable name for it. But a key feature of my proposal is that you actually get the goods you need rather than a lump some of money that may or may not be enough to buy them.

I think it may be due to some sort of "outcome compression". The life of working a bottom tier-job isn't materially better than a life of not working at all. One solution I've been thinking of is that maybe there needs t

Resistors can easily be scaled up. The heat storage medium can be easily scaled up. But what about these thermophotovoltaics whatever they are? Can they be cheaply mass produced?

Using fast math in one particular expression is way different and less risky than doing it globally.

To me, figuring out the halting behavior of small turing machines is similar in spirit going over all short logical propositions and trying to determine if they are true or not. Like it sounds like it could end up being useful somehow.

You also need to subtract some bits from symmetries right? Like you can mirror the tape. You can relabel states B and C. And you can relabel symbols 1, 2, 3. Though the analysis is complicated a little bit by the fact that some (combination

The insightful videos I see mostly have comments like "thanks xxx this video was super helpful". Which I guess is nice and polite and models good behavior. But it also doesn't add much value for me.

I'm not sure it would be considered material though. It might actually make sense to consult a lawyer.

This transformation is only legal if order of summation doesn't matter. So the compiler can do it for ints, but not floats.

If only there was some kind of algorithm telling us how to deal with this exploration-exploitation dilemma...

Of course there are risks. The question is how big the risk is, and how well we can mitigate it.

I didn't realize how good question that was until I started looking into the state of self-driving in China to come up with a witty reply. It does seem they have many contenders.

Would it be possible to consider them separately though? Like maybe it will turn out that say 10% of them are beneficial, 65% of them are neutral (either they do nothing at all or a mixture of benefit and harm), and 25% are slightly bad for

So uhm, can/should we start cutting these proviruses(?) out of our genomes? Unintended consequences?
