Hard to overstate how exciting I find the fields of hypernetworks and metalearning. For good or for evil, this I feel is almost certainly how we create AGI. GNNs make perfect sense as a method of accomplishing it too -- after all, neura

Hard agree with this. Humans are always going to insert human biases into the systems we design, so I think the only way we can really get past those biases is by going several layers of abstraction deep. I actually suspect that the first

This is something I'm actually, genuinely really interested in. In fact, just the other day I was thinking about whether you could use GNNs to accomplish something like this -- so I was understandably pretty hyped to see this post on H

I just learned the absolute basics of systemd the other day while trying to set up an auto-restarting game server on an RPi for my little sibling, and finding helpful examples was extremely difficult. This seems like a perfect solution!

I'm not a new dev (but I am a new data scientist) and can definitely relate to what you said. I'm so used to "if you get stuck, just figure it out" as the norm for things I'm assigned to do, and getting used to &quo

I do strongly suspect I am ADHD, but avoid basically all stimulants (unless we count sugar as a stimulant, in which case I eat sugar sometimes. And lots of carbohydrates in general that aren't sugar) I haven't sought a diagnosis o

I've recently been working on breaking my bad habit of getting home from work each day, taking out my phone, and then looking up 4 hours later to realize all my free time for the night has been consumed by The Algorithm. It's been

I think so? I've had the same question and have been meaning to do a actual controlled experiment, but haven't ever gotten around to it. I know I react badly to sugar, and I'm fairly certain I also react badly to caffeine s

Zero-sugar, zero-caffeine sodas seem to be slowly rising in popularity recently. I'm hopeful that we'll start to see them more often as options in restaurants, because like you said, it's frustrating when I go to a restaurant

I grew up in a house where coffee wasn't allowed, so I've actually never had it before. I have avoided nearly all caffeine my whole life out of habit (one of those cases where a rule you grow up with sticks with you even if the or

this recently happened to me for the first time ever and it was surreal and terrifying, except in my situation is was bedbugs, not spiders. Never had it happen before until randomly a few weeks ago when i was feeling stressed about moving i

This is absolutely fascinating. I'm really interested to learn why this seems to work so reliably well. What's going on on a chemical/electrical level in the brain during N1 sleep that gives it this unique ability, and why

I watch most videos at triple speed or above. Takes some getting used to, but my brain got accustomed to it over time and now I can watch 3-4 times more youtube than everyone else in the same amount of time!

I'm sure. The work I do on a daily basis is comprised of at least half skills i learned from videos, and that percentage is even higher for my hobbies.

Anecdotal counterargument: I am a visual learner. For almost all topics I learn about, watching a video is by far the most effective, fastest, and most impactful way for me to grasp and remember new concepts. A very large part of my educati

I think the part of this that surprised me the most was learning that Self-Teaching actually... works? Not entirely sure why, but my first instinct when I was first getting into AI was that training a model on its own predictions would just

Princess Mononoke changed my life. It was the first Ghibli film I saw, and I only saw it for the first time about a year ago (yes, I'm aware I'm rather late to the party). Every preconception I had about how a movie had to be made
