Yep, not much profit over long time horizons in correcting a relatively small number of people who are either delusional enough to believe in second comings or think it's a fun bet To add to that, even if there's zero probability

The fault tolerance is mostly focused on background radiation flipping bits. We've got half a century of data on the frequency of those upsets and the extent to which they're correlated under different space conditions for that, n

Can't wait for the LinkedIn posts about their day to start even earlier than the 4am workout and 5am meditation with strategic dreaming between 1am and 3am. Type LUCID in the comments for a how to guide...

I'm assuming the "Christian" one doesn't call you darling though :) Does it work for roleplaying groups that are too obscure to have stereotypes?

Sounds like something Magnus Carlsen might say. I hear he's doing quite well out of the game of chess, and pointedly not playing how a computer would play, even though Deep Blue is clearly capable of winning more than he is and from

They investigated an open source application specifically advertising carb counting capabilities, replicated its prompts and API calls in a way optimised to collect data from 26000 queries (which is a lot to do using a GUI!). They also note

The open source app could in theory do that, but the paper's authors would be able to determine whether it did or not by reading its code, which they evidently did to replicate the API calls it made with their own script. (And of cou

The commercial services likely also have frontier model dependencies... The opening to the actual paper is quite explicit that (i) other studies have already tested commercial apps with with unimpressive results and (ii) a popular open sour

Like the look of what you're doing with Vesper. Is your roadmap more "Satsearch for broader range of spacecraft mass classes" or "generate initial mission and spacecraft architecture from simple input parameters"?

Oh, they're A+ at low value ads (I don't even think it's the ads that's ultimately consuming the platforms, it's the un paid content also being overoptimized for clickbait so people end up seeing fewer of the frien

yeah, always struck me as odd that Thiel is more obsessed with identifying candidate antichrists than almost anyone else on the planet, including some people who are actually observant Christians, and yet it doesn't seem to have occurr

I agree, my point was more along the lines the poster demanding rigour wanted to use the death rates for the entire age range of "actively practising researchers" as a comparison baseline for a group of people averaging in their 6

But then if we're doing age ranges , the 10 people "tied to sensitive research" who have disappeared or died are 59, 61, 60, 68, 53, 60, 78, 47, 67, 39 (with the two youngest identified as homicide and suicide). How does a c

There are literally millions of people who receive incomes from states which don't restrict them from spending 90% of their waking hours studying mathematics proofs, if that is what they wanted to do. Most of them do not and overwhelmi

As others have pointed out, a key part of the prompt used here may have been "don't search the internet" as it would most likely have defaulted to starting off with existing approaches to that problem...
