True, but books are also valuable for the subtle ways in which they change you, not just for what you remember.

The problem is, everybody does that, and it lowers the bar. From a societal perspective, we will have a set of people who are less prepared for their jobs, which will cost companies, and the economy at large, and so me and you . This wil

A simple and concrete example is, go to Japan, find yourself in need of using any Japanese-only app, be extremely frustrated in not even being able to select text to translate it. At least in recent versions of Android there is that OCR (?)

The larger picture is that our brains are very much influenced by all the chemistry that happens around our units of computation (neurones); especially hormones. But (maybe) unlike consciousness, this is all "reproducible", meanin

I wonder whether they adjusted for commute length. I imagine that IF you live close to the office, the RTO is not bad. Plus, if you're close maybe you live in a small apartment and maybe you are single, so the office is also a social p

This search is random in the same way that AlphaGo's move selection was random. In the Monte Carlo Tree Search part, the outcome distribution on leaves is informed by a neural network trained on data instead of a so-called playout. Sur

Before growth became a thing, it was a zero sum game. Nasty setup for harmonious living.

This is the same conclusion I can't help but reach. I would love nothing more but to be convinced that (there is a chance that) that is not going to happen.

Glueing together secure pieces too often does not result in a secure whole. People spend careers coming up with secure protocols out of secure pieces. My take on not rolling your crypto is to apply as close to zero cleverness as possible wh

It's not that the semicolon is somehow a special character and that's why it's required/optional. It's the context that makes it necessary or not. Python proves that it's possible to design a language that does

Should we not, instead, write tests ourselves and have LLMs write the code to make them pass?

The non linearities are fundamental. Without them, any arbitrarily deep NN is equivalent to a shallow NN (easily computable, as GP was saying), and we know those can't even solve the XOR problem. > nothing but linearity No, if you h

Tangent, but it's ridiculous that sex is in the same group of undesirables such as firearms, alcohol, tobacco and hate.

I loved being able to use this on rainy days or when I needed something to dry quickly while living in Japan. Back in Europe, only having air-drying was annoying on those occasions. Notice that the amount of manual work required with these

If it were walking what keeps Asians slim, you'd see more variation, imo. The small portions and generally healthier food are what keeps them slim. True that the Japanese eat fried chicken and cakes, but not as often as Americans, and

Asking from a position of total ignorance. The energy savings mean you can increase clock speeds, right? Assuming a big enough jump, won't that relieve a CPU from the need to have most specialised instruction sets and potentially also

No, you would assign a probability to the event. And that probability would be higher for a Google product.

I think for anything more complicated than (maybe) sorting, appreciating the subtleties in these algorithms goes a long way in helping you decide when to use them vs not.

For one, state sponsored cyber warfare could end up causing lots of preventable damage. Think infrastructure, like the electric grid, being brought down: that would have real consequences, including deaths.

I am curious about maps and the software to generate them and play with them, but when I tried - a few years ago, admittedly - to dabble in it (I wanted to generate those art-sy nice city maps pictures for my hometown [1]), I was overwhelme

It's a mindset more based on reality than the opposite mindset. It keeps you grounded, which is a good thing, imo.

I think there's an important difference between a negative thought about X and an introspective but emotionally more neutral thought about X.

I am not sure about this specific case, but I want to point out that there is a big misunderstanding with this normality assumption in t tests: it's not the distribution of the data that needs to be ~normal, but rather the distribution

It's probably right in this context, but I'd be careful with the last part in general contexts: assuming utility is linear makes for easy reasoning but also would say that a mild stomach ache for every single human (i.e. 7*10⁹ sto
