For stuff that I’m good at? Not even 10%. For stuff that I’m bad at? Probably more than 1000%. I’ve used it to make a web app, write some shader code, and set up some rtc streaming from unreal engine to the browser. I doubt I would have don

It is an emergent effect of scale. The first principle reasoning logic of small scale examples doesn’t work as you zoom out. Being able to scope out a small scale example of why something is ok is a very poor indicator of how it operates in

Idk man I think maybe you should consider that there’s no upside to this insecurity. I’ve blitzed through the formerly famous Tokyo subway system mindlessly without a clue. I have utterly no idea what the different us highways in my area ar

I don’t really agree about the premise here. We want people to surpass some basic level of competency in literacy and numeracy skills. The bars which people fall below here are not impressive. Are forced courses a good means to achieve that

Can’t say the author’s fixation on reading long texts resonates with me. I’m sure Newton’s Principia is interesting and all but… no I’m not going to read that. Conciseness is a valuable thing. It wasn’t practical to convey knowledge in a sh

I think that’s extremely incorrect tbh. Israel saw an opportunity and they took every inch of it. They have neutered Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, and effected the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. I don’t think Israel cares about foreign civili

It was reading step 2 and he was trying to get it to do step 1. He had not yet combined the ingredients. The way he kept repeating his phrasing it seems likely that “what do we do first” was a hardcoded cheat phrase to get it to say a speci

It seems extremely likely that they took the context awareness out of the actual demo and had the AI respond to pre defined states and then even that failed. The AI analyzing the situation is wayyy out of scope here

He’s not doing what? Framing the murder as an intellectual no-no? Because that very bluntly seems to be the point of the article. In what way is this a witch hunt?

Unless they become autonomous I don’t think drones will be as huge as people think. They’re dynamic mines, basically. That’s undoubtedly a crazy effective concept. But most countries aren’t as bloodlusted as Russia to order their troops and

My dude you’re pivoting to try and argue that there are differences, even if the differences are immaterial and even if there’s no statistical evidence to support your claim. I don’t give a shit if you believe yourself to be part of the (im

No, that’s entirely incorrect reasoning. Does genetics influence intelligence? Yes. Does genetics influence race? Yes. Does that mean that race is a _material_ driver of differences in intelligence? No. That just doesn’t follow at all. Ever

I disagree. It strongly detracts from the GP’s claim. If we see huge variation in intelligence scores intra group, that strongly suggests that there are social/cultural/environmental factors in play driving a large part of this. I
