It seems his "detractors" (or at least his foes) are also academics - i.e. the same culture - they just cite Hinton and LeCun instead of Schmidhuber.

It's interesting that everyone is saying it is a drastic change, when it says "Traffic is down by about 10%" (which doesn't sound like a drastic change to me). I guess it is near a critical point where a relatively small

It’s a shame all these models target markdown and not something with more structure and a specification. There are different flavors of Markdown and limited support for footnotes, references, figures, etc.

“noncommericial” seems pernicious to me lately. I can see why people reach for it, but it really seems hard to define (there are many ways to profit off of something without simply selling it directly).

I think I use appropriate skepticism, but only in the last 1-2 years do I need to seriously question whether an image or video I see is AI.

Seems a strange comparison - I don't think anyone claims "search engines" should be a repository of cultural memory.

If everyone no longer trusts any video or image they see (or has plausible deniability to dismiss it), that can lead to a terrible place without a "big disaster" ever taking place.

Yeah, I like DFW (although mainly from essays and interviews) and thought this book was not good. Tangentially, I didn’t really like Rucker’s book on infinity either. I can’t remember why exactly, but it didn’t match up with other math popu

You have to look into a camera and pledge allegiance to Baron Trump before the gas starts flowing. Insincere facial cues will be added to your permanent record.

I guess if you can run `python myfile.py` and it finishes with without error (return code 0), you could consider it valid. By that measure, there are also 1 byte valid Python programs (e.g. "1").

One could argue Apple Watch has just been coasting on iPhones’ coat tails. People with an iPhone want a watch with similar aesthetics and in the same ecosystem. If a non-Apple company launched an identical watch at the same time it would ha

I don't know if reddit is better than ever, but the continued existence and popularity of old.reddit.com seems to be a sign that it is not well-run. (in the sense of they wrecked their UX years ago and never fixed it).
