Congratulations! You deserve it. I shared it with all of my friends and family when you first posted it, and we’re all hooked.

lol point taken. I would be willing to bed we’ll see something rambling natural intelligence created in this century, but I think this brute force approach shows that we’re just not there yet.

Agreed. You may already know them, but the “Corridor Crew” channel on YouTube has a great “VFX Artists React” series where they do deep dives into vfx scenes and the behind the scenes. They often have industry pros come in and share scenes

I love their snappy motion too. Great video/gif. After seeing this I had to look up their movement in slow mo. It’s incredible. They’re on a different time scale lol [0] https://youtu.be/FhpL5h8sEHo?si=su3BjAxpFGU0gEcf

Oh we absolutely love bracket city, +1 I’ve showed it to my friends, and it’s stuck. My brother shared it with all of his coworkers and they’re now playing too. It’s fun watching it “spread” amongst my social group

He’s great. I learned a ton from him when I was starting my computational biology studies as a grad student.

How does something like this make it past the PR checks… it’s like no one listened.

I loved your video when YouTube recommended it several months back!! Congrats on such a cool build and for making the front page.

TFA is equating the beginnings of the ethnic cleansings of a highly and historically persecuted peoples to the authoritative actions against politically active citizens and non-citizens. I’m sure there are many cases with classified rationa

This feels like such a bad faith question, but I’ll assume you’re not asking with mal-intent. No, I don’t think it’s ok, and I don’t understand how you would make this assumption about my opinion unless you’re just speaking emotionally or i

I agree that it is insane what’s happening. I do not think this country is on a good trajectory. But I think the analogy in TFA is also insane.

30 min -> 15 min is absolutely frightening lol. But agreed on your first part. When I actively rush to get home, but have the car I passed 10 mins ago show up behind me at a stoplight, it makes me realize it’s not worth it. I view traffi

Absolutely, it is possible. I’m not sure about the depression, but it sounds plausible, depending on the experience. That’s out of my expertise, though. For a concrete example, phantom limb pain can be a form of affective emotional pain,

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. The brain is incredibly complicated, and frankly we are still very far from understanding much about how it works. But this doesn’t mean we aren’t making incredible advancements. Discoveries are constantly bein

I have a PhD in neuroscience, where I studied circadian rhythm disruption and its effect on pain behavior. So I feel qualified to discuss this. In humans, pain has two primary components [0]: 1. The sensory-discriminative component: where o

Ugh , I agree. I would imagine this all comes from fine tuning, or RLHF, whatever is used. I’d bet LLMs trained on the internet without the final “tweaking” steps would roast most of my questions … which is exactly what I want when I’m wron

Did you use it in a goal oriented way or just for fun? I’m hoping to solidifying some previously learned ML maths skills (mostly LA & calc), but also want to expand my stats knowledge. I’m thinking of trying it to see if it piques enoug

I keep wondering this too. I’ve been tempted to try it because I tend to view HN as an organic place, and I’ve seen it pop up on the front page so many times. But I have ultimately hesitated to try it because it feels like a suite of target

This reads like a “comment” version of Destin’s speech to a NASA group a few years ago [0]. The loss of institutional knowledge and fundamentals philosophical differences seem like they’ll need to be overcome. [0] https://youtu.b

Fair point. I didn’t hear her mention this in the podcast, but maybe she does in the book.

I listened to her interview on the Free Press, and to be totally honest, the way it was discussed does feel “gossipy.” [0] One thing that rubs me the wrong way is her decision to wait to share this information. When asked that by Weiss duri

If you’re working in R with ggplot2, you could also consider the `ggrastr` package, specifically, `ggrastr::geom_point_rast`

Agree. Not sure how, “I’m super interested to learn more,” indicates hostility.
