You deployed that meme effectively. I generally cringe at the mention of Peterson, but "polemics" disarmed my knee jerk. That was a cool example of the vector-payload model!

Is it just me, or does it seem like only one end of the political spectrum has perfected information virality? What is it about these messages that is making them so sticky? Is it volume, medium, semantic construction, social proof? I'

I was literally sitting here trying to stop the waves of sadness I'm feeling from not meeting my own expectations. Bumping into a kindred spirit that's getting shit done really helps. Thank you for the nudge.

Yeah, I thought of mentioning that but wasn't sure how in the weeds anyone would want to go lol Besides, I'm optimistic about what an enterprising individual is capable of when faced with those sorts of limits... It's those c

There are open versions of GPT so presumably, one could train an open version of Codex. It would be really terrible if Codex was made inaccessible to swaths of people in the name of commercial interests.

I'm pretty sure I ruined a job opportunity for myself by expressing my distaste for crypto. I mean, I might as well go work at a multi level marketing company if I'm willing to work in crypto.

I would personally forego 60-70% of my salary to work on impactful things I want to work on. Rent paid, dog fed, wife happy. Not much else to ask for.

I can't find any updates on the Chrome "fixes" for this. The best way to handle it is by long-pressing the back button to see a fuller history list. You can then hop to the page previous to the one that hijacked the button. I

In my head, I consider these sorts of books more generalized models to run information through. For example, when I think about some historical occurrence I run it through evo bio, Marxism, geo determinism, critical race theory, symbolic cu

On one of huggingface's explanation blurb of a training set, they half-jokingly speculate that GPT was trained on libgen. Apparently Google won't reveal what book data it used...

I was leaning more towards curriculum that trains being able to feel and act on empathy. You know, like art or whatever.

Looking out from this moment in history, if I wanted to prepare someone for the future, STEM wouldn't be the main focus. I know it's anathema to say. In a world where computers fold proteins and predict programmer's intention

If a government had many streams of temporal data, eg coordinates of people's locations, is it just a matter of no cache availability and computation that would slow this down? If neither of those were concerns, I imagine applying a he

Sometimes I find myself reacting sharply to things in a way that I'd rather not, which I did in this case. My stance on animal rights is an easy button to push to get a majority riled up, and I regretfully reach for it in my worst mome

Zuckerberg's moves make sense in this context. NFT's make sense in it as well. I don't feel compelled to play video games, and I don't feel interested in joining an AR metaverse. That might just be personal shortcoming c

I tried to understand what you said but it ends up indecipherable like a koan. In this case, this koan confers a monetary benefit to the self-appointed Zen Masters of crypto. For only a few dollars the followers get a little sticker that sa

I really do believe eating meat is wrong. I don't decide what books to read based on my personal ethical beliefs, especially when it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Sorry for the subtlety, I'll remind myself of readers

I refuse to read any books written by people that eat meat. Killing living things is a crime, and supporting the industries involved in that is immoral.

It's bad when leaders make choices based on unproven ideas because of the impact that can have on people. If I told all my friends that drinking hot sauce made me smarter, then yeah, drinking hot sauce has some value for me individuall

The market is interdependent. Wash trading on one platform benefits all other platforms. When you ask someone the price of BTC they don't say $x on Coinbase, $y on Kraken, etc. Literally all of crypto is a scam. After 10 years there is

Observable is full of geniuses using JS to make cool brainy stuff. The other awesome thing is that you can immediately mess with their code without forking or making an account. https://observablehq.com/featured-creators
