We've hit a couple of inflection point. The numbers of researchers and research labs scaled up that there is now many well funded teams with experience. Public tooling and collaboration has reached a point where research happen across

Start building projects on your own with the most common tooling. Having something to show cuts down barriers.

I used to agree with you, but I think the last 3 months in computer vision changes everything. Unstructured learning on Image+Text pairs has exploded and set STOTA on benchmark across the field. While the data coming from LIDAR may be bette

My understanding is that Thiel's public fund often takes loss because he is hedging other financial risk he is taking.(e.g. holding palantir after IPO, large VC investments in industries that may turn out to be based on immature resear

I work in Computer Vision with a passion for image synthesis. I recently discoverer I have aphantasia when I heard someone else in the synthesis community talking about it. I never realized I was “missing” something because I have a very st

AI image synthesis is getting very close to being better at humans than art.

How do you get from an individual owning something to everyone owning it? You have to take it from the individual.

Someone is going to build the robots. You have gall to suggest seizing them all. It would require lots of violence and force.

There are bureaucrats making 6 figures sitting around and doing nothing for 40 years now. I don’t think shame is going to get them into action. Shame would be what they feel looking around their city. They must be used to it at this point.

I’d welcome Portugal’s approach, but it is very different. San Francisco doesn’t prosecute dealers, and encourages open drug markets and camps on the street by funding and encouraging the behavior with permanent enabling, no path towards r

San Francisco spends $100k+ per homeless person. We have the resources it’s about how they’re used.

Hes not asking that “every imaginable need be fully covered”. He’s asking for the well funded sanitation department to do their job.

You should take a look at Pia Maloney and Eric Weinstein work. CPI is broken because it doesn't factor in a "change in taste or prefence" CPI treats individuals as a giant unmovimg population mean. To counter they change to u

I used to be in the grouchy, "Stop calling it AI camp". But the last three years of progress are impossible to ignore. Scaling models is working better than anyone thought. We're in for a wild ride with this new AI.

NOAA is very hit or miss with their data. I spent a lot of time this summer with the NOAA buoy data. So much of it is available and well documented. The historical and live CSV's are useful, but there is also the stuff where a column n
