I think that there can be an error rate that is low enough to still be very useful and a net-positive for the economy. But if there is a small chance to just end the company on the spot, then no one will use it despite the benefits. So how

I hope there can be some reasonable middle ground. I think in this case it's good the woman got her money. But Air Canada, presumably scared of what the next case might cost them decided to turn the chat bot off entirely. I think that&

How can you say that so confidently? New cars (post-pandemic is very recent) inherently don't haven't been around for long enough to say for sure what their lifespan will be. We just have to guess based on how they feel.

If the preparation was poor quality but done in good faith, couldn't it be that the shape is actually somewhat accurate even though no fossil material remains?

Well going into space has clear advantages for our species. Firstly, it provides a backup in case something happens to earth, like if it gets hit by an asteroid. It could also potentially be untouched by a nasty war on earth, but odds are i

To me this sounds just like human written code that mostly works but has a couple of issues. I don't see why we couldn't apply the same techniques to deal with it - unit testing, review, qa.

I'm thinking it might make sense to have a sort of hierarchy of models. The stupidest model predicts that everything will be stationary. The second model predicts that everything will travel in a straight line. The third model tries to

This is my biggest fear with self-driving cars. Correlated failures. As a society we are extremely good at dealing with independent accidents. We can calculate very precisely how many people will die of traffic in a given year and we can ac

Registering patents cost money but producing prior art does not.

I think that's probably expected and also not a big deal. As long as there is a human in the loop it becomes rate limited, saving people from having to look for prior art in some exabyte shit heap.

Two lists one with keys and with values. The key list can be delta encoded and then compressed with the assumption that most of the deltas are small (even with adversarial keys this property must hold, as if there are too many big deltas th

Human players have this concept of progress . I couldn't give a good succinct description of exactly what that entails, but basically if you are trading off pieces that's progress, if your king is breaking through the defensive f

Sure. It's just we tend to notice the tradeoffs and forget the win-wins. Every bug fixed and every performance improvement benefits all three.

I think you underestimate how much progress there has been in human enhancement the last few years. We are very close to the point where we can bypass the genetics. I suspect that's why Peter Thiel is taking an interest like this.

I think this modern internet trend of saying that every mistake is inexcusable and should lead to a breakup is super weird and destructive. What he said was bad, and wrong. But he just needs a scolding and some minor punishment and to then

If the information is on the market, then anyone can buy it, including the spooks. It would be super weird to say that everyone except spooks can buy it. What would make sense is making sure it doesn't get on the market at all.

Maybe sound is an illustrative example. The air pressure is a positive scalar quantity. We are interested in the deviations from the mean. Deviations can be both positive and negative. A positive and a negative deviation cancel (in absolute
