Thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood what Huggingface's product was. I see the niche. The risks are: - the mid market is constantly churning; either players become too big and you can't meet their requirements or they go bankrup

Let me try to make the point clearer: 1. Investors expect Huggingface to extract more than $100M from the market. Otherwise they'd be called 'donors'. 2. If they openly publish models, then their APIs will be undercut by othe

It's a 18 year long personal project where you get to build/train your own embodied AI, and then let it loose to wreak havoc on the world.

People are worked to death and the country has been in stagnation for 30 years. Time that could be spent dating is spent working and future prospects seem bleak.

Google is free to publish whatever information they'd like to vindicate themselves. The fact that they don't is information. Google is also free to sue for libel/defamation, but for some reason choose not to. This is also inf

Yes, but unironically.

Sure, I'm not trying to argue about how to appropriately price the rate; just that it's variable.

I doubt their model is that people are perfect. I think their model assumes that if they set strong enough incentives, the human-error will only be a second order effect and can be safely ignored. I don't know how well they've est

That is true, but the pertinent question is: how much less? If the world is ending tomorrow, then much less. If we discover immortality tomorrow, then much more.

If you define socioeconomic status narrowly (gender, race, age, net wealth), then I was wrong to say that the success of European countries is rooted in their socioeconomic status. I'm happy to take that point back, and focus on why I

It's very compelling when it lines up with my worldview in a way that makes me feel validated. Then I can absorb it uncritically and regurgitate the conclusions to people without thinking about the evidence that lead me to the conclusi

What does it mean to be "successful, controlling for socioeconomic status"? Their success is defined by their peoples' socioeconomic status.

What do you mean by "open sourcing" the Twitter algorithm? What are the actual requirements that you're looking to satisfy by doing this?

This confused me at first too. The issue is that "X" is your performance, and "Y" is your perceived performance. Say that everyone is equally okay at assessing themselves, and get within 0.1 of their actual performance (

I think you're right on the formalism, and I shouldn't have brought that in. I've been out of grad school a while and should clearly brush up on my theory. My main line of reasoning is: 1. If I say "this algorithm time-c

Other studies don't control for the amount being eaten. Time-restricted eating is a technique for eating less food, but aside from that it doesn't have intrinsic benefits.

Yeah, okay. You are correct here. "Average-case of algorithm X" can be a function function (average number of operations for all possible inputs of length n). And asymptotic bounds can be applied to arbitrary functions from R -&gt

by karpierz 5y ago
It is not redundant to say "average case O(n log(n))". It's not formally a correct usage of O(). But colloquially, it means that the average number of operations over all possible inputs on length n is X. It is redundant to s

Theta(X) is not "average case" behaviour, it means "both Omega(X) and O(X)". Ex: merge sort is Theta(n log(n)), but quick sort is not. The author is likely saying "worst case O(n log(n))" as redundancy to empha
