How do you get around all the censorship? Gemini is even worse than Claude at times. And it's for things like "Obama's chili recipe" or "find the source of X person's science paper where they talked about Y i

Yeah pretty much. If I was to write it out further: "near infinity bad thing could happen but it has a near infinitesimal chance of it happening, what is the amount of finite resources you should spend to prevent it?". The number

A lot of rationalists that go deep are on the autistic spectrum. Their feedback loops are often classic autistic thought traps of people who end up "committing to the bit". Add anxiety to it and you get autistic style rumination

I noticed years ago too that AI doomers and rationalist type were very prone to (infinity * 0 = infinity) types of traps, which is a fairly autistic way of thinking. Humanity long time ago decided that infinity * 0 = 0 for very good practi

There is a lot of stuff where this is not the case and pricing is still opaque or takes way too much effort. Like if I want to get a well defined CT scan or blood test. It's not as simple as going on amazon or many other retailers. A

Health insurance's issue is probably how it induces pure waste everywhere as everyone has to play this dance of ever escalating paperwork which consumes a lot of labor. It's not profit, it's waste. Same with the ever incre

As a piece of writing feedback, I would convert your citation links into normal links. Clicking on the citation doesn't jump to the link or the citation entry, and you are basically using hyperlinks anyway.

Psychology / Therapy: A horrible model that doesn't work properly. Limited to seeing patients once a month when they need it to be once a week, and constant fighting with the system by clinicians and patients. Overloaded schedu

The execution speed for LLM inference gets so slow once you reach models that even fill out a 64GB machine. I was tempted, too, but then realized it was unusable past 48GB-ish and stacking used 3090s was the best price / perf / v

Usually, you get a credit or deduction that can only apply to future tax liability in the same category. Ex: Capital losses are stuck with capital gains in the USA and can only be applied to $3000 of your income per year otherwise. These

You can also download the audio only with yt-dlp and then remake subs with whisper or whatever other model you want. GPU compute wise it will probably be less than asking an llm to try to correct a garbled transcript.

If the compute needed is linear, then 4x means it's not far off. I would foresee it in a decade. This speed is also fast enough for household robots as it is.

IMO telegram is slavic whatsapp with some crypto spice. And almost any communication medium will be used to transmit bad things and managing that is an expensive arms race. If you really care to, you can probably find examples everywhere.

I think it's flipped recently, or maybe I'm thinking of another kind.

Yes, it's so horrible, just like the on air signs in audio recording rooms from the 1920s are very dystopian, so bad. It's not like everyone is working from home now.

A version of this that would be useful for WFH or private offices is an 'on air' device that you could mount outside your office door, which means it's not connected to your computer and could potentially run on a battery for

In my experience, I just need the aha hint and I'm usually good. When I looked them up later I was slapping my hand on my head. How do you detect that?

My POSIWID guess is reducing market liquidity and dev pay by reducing competition for staff. These companies have been caught for it before. Even though I was pretty close in getting these processes reformed at my previous big tech compan

IQ test questions are explicitly designed to be things you haven't seen before, solved within minutes per problem. If you've seen them before then the validity of the test is usually invalidated. Leetcode is effectively the oppos

Most of this is the fault of apple and google. We could have native style apps that load in and out like webpages, and have them load in as parts that come in and out too! If we were using objective C, they might even be smaller to load t
