I agree that the discussion in the blog post is incomplete because it does not consider that we shape the environments that shape us, though it does briefly touch on the fact that other RL agents (people) try to shape us, and we them. But i

I have not read this blog except the linked blog post, but could you be more specific on what you think is mystic gibberish? Speaking as someone who works in clinical neuroscience, the basic picture being presented is similar in many respec

"What MaGuire has proved here is that the songs we listen to every single day are not the exact master copy that the artist recorded and wanted for us to hear. Instead, they are slightly stripped versions of their art run through a set

Supply chain security is very important, and this seems like an important step. Seems absolutely essential that something like the Mozilla foundation, or EFF, or some other open-source friendly entity help provide such a service, instead of

jQuery it is not. Don't even know why the comparison is made, except for rhetorical effect. Looks like a cool library though.

China has a history of buying out its critics, and I do not doubt for a second that Donald Trump is for sale (notice how he changed his tune on TikTok?)

Rebuilding our microchip manufacturing base is critical part of US national defense. Why in the world would Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson want to repeal the CHIPS act? https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/why-on-earth-

You keep repeating the same things over and over, but it doesn't make it true. Read this book. https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691000466/th...

"Please do some research on this topic" I have. I've read quite a bit of philosophy of science. I'm also a scientist. I don't think you have. Start here: https://plato.stanford.edu/search/search

* Psychology studies the mind. Wrong. * The mind is not part of nature. Asserted without evidence. But, frankly, you can point to "the mind" like you can point to "the soul" or "the spirit". You can't. * S

You can't even prove the mind exists. So maybe it doesn't, and the foundation for all of your dualism collapses in on itself. All you really have is the emergent behavior of all that brain matter, and the fact that such things can

Some valid empirical questions are not testable in the Popperian sense. Theories of evolution are not, for example, at least in any useful way. Instead, a model based conception of science is required.

Silly response. Popperism is not a universally accepted definition of science. Not even by scientists themselves.

For what it's worth, I always thought that yogurts, etc. are better at slowing down digestion/dealing with diarrhea than constipation.

I agree about diversity. We use a very limited range of cultures in mass manufactured foods.

We go through periods of liberalization, and then it's opposite, as the ills of each regime become salient. For example, in the US, Oregon abandoned its legalization of hard-drugs, and I expect to see a national push to restrict and re

RAM and what GPU you have are big determinants of how fast it will run, and how smart a model you can run. A large amount of RAM and GPU memory is required for larger models without significant slowdown because its much faster if it can kee

As long as the email account is secure, and the throw-away one-time passwords are good, you have the frequent-rotation passwords security advocates dream about. Indeed, hand them a secure password they have to use (and forget).

When using code assist, I've occasionally found some perplexing changes to my code I didn't remember making (and wouldn't have made). Can be pretty frustrating.

Code quality is the hardest thing to measure. Seems like they were measuring commits, pull-requests, builds, and build success rate. This sort of gets at that, but is probably inadequate. The few attempts I've made at using genAI to ma

I'm going to have to say that getting a lawyer on board with that much money after the second obstacle would be first priority.
