The Internet is funded almost entirely by an ad machine, but has a few knock-on benefits people have grown rather fond of.

Its "product recommendation" capabilities are growing quickly, which is directly convertible to ad revenue, and we know ad revenue sustained Google for two decades.

It doesn't have to be that way of course. You could envision an LLM whose "paperclip" is coaching you to become a great "xyz". Record every minute of your day, including your conversations. Feed it to the LLM. It gi

Argue with it. Criticize it. Nitpick the questions it asked. Tell it what you just said: you just gave me a generic summary of the top 5 articles you'd get if you googled "how to fix depression, social anxiety" or something

I’m not an expert… but it seems like it could be even simpler than program design. They note false sharing occurs due to data not being cacheline aligned. Yet when compiling for ARM, that’s not a big deal due to WO. When targeting x86, you

The no-frills commodity mixes often seem quite cheap so it’s possible the price was still pretty fair.

Some pack, some sift and scoop. You have to know what the recipe wants. Weigh is in my opinion superior, it just wasn’t widely accessible before cheap digital scales.

There’s a standardization element. You can find the same premix anywhere in the country, at reasonable prices, and it keeps well. At competitive pricing, I would even tend to think of premix as just another bulk ingredient, like “1 cup flou

The present opportunity, in my view, is to feed this tracing into the development of superior compilers. This is starting to happen with automated profiling by the compiler, but you can imagine the profiling expanding to an enormous degree,

For the moment, perhaps it could be jobs that LLMs can’t be trained on. New jobs, niche jobs, secret or undocumented jobs… It’s a common point now that LLMs don’t seem to be able to apply knowledge about one thing to how a different, unfami

Exactly this sort of thing makes it feel like there could be a "cliff" or "eternal winter of human publishing", where books like his are never again written by humans. Often when tech comes out that does something better

It shouldn't be built up like an amusement park, but some level of services seems reasonable. Water, bathrooms, gas for large/remote parks. If you're advocating even all of that should be removed as well, then we're real

The second-hand market is a bit of a mess unless you're comparing among the most popular skis. The depreciation is also brutally steep. You can avoid the depreciation issue with old skis, but that comes with other problems.

Profiling isn’t taken as evidence of criminal intentions. It can be as simple as, you do random searches, but you increase the frequency of random searches for people who match multiple behavioral criteria empirically associated with crimin

“The average person commits felonies a day” is probably a better way to communicate this idea.

I do agree… perhaps the thing to do is write fragments of the program, like the start and end, asking it to complete the middle. If you have precisely described how the output will be printed, for example, then you have essentially formally

At some level of raw hours, your health and personal relationships outside work both begin to wither, because there are only 24 hours in a day. That doesn’t always cause burnout, but it provides high contrast - what you are sacrificing.

If there was a link, I would be thinking about all the superfund sites in Silicon Valley, pondering the manufacture of the Apple II, demographic clustering, or whether there was an unusually strong smoking culture at young Apple Computer, r

Lead battery recycling is pretty incredible, with allegedly 80% of the lead in a new battery being recycled lead.

I don’t really want to argue this side, but is it that different from a smart bomb or guided missile? A human is in the loop; the human issued the coordinates of the target to the delivery vehicle. That kind of operation seems extremely dif

The language doesn’t just map to English, it allows high level concepts to be expressed tersely. I would bet it’s much easier for an LLM to generate python doing complex things than to generate assembly doing the same. One very simple reaso

One single speech might not do it. However, a short anecdote. Several years ago, while sitting through a training on first aid and cpr on infants, I was bored out of my mind and complaining internally about how this was a waste of time, yet

A wide perspective is good, but that is orthogonal to what they experience as normal. You can select for a good, healthy normal AND provide a wide experience. Your child doesn’t have to attend a school where educational attainment isn’t val
