You left off an important caveat from the next sentence: > But of course I have been very lucky, there. You do have to be lucky enough to be relatively secure in life, but nearly everyone in tech can achieve an adequate living. Not every

Agree wholeheartedly. I still have a big box shrink wrapped copy of Planescape: Torment on my bookcase. I'd add Arcanum to that list as well. Those games are the reason I just finished a PhD focused on NLP. I've long been interest

That's not an outlandish hypothesis. I'm from a family of medical doctors and entrepreneurs. They are all very conservative, while I'm more of a classical liberal. I gave up working in the tech industry to pursue a PhD with t

There are frequently better lenses for examining these issues, like culture and socioeconomics. These explain a larger portion of the variance than race in many circumstances. For example, black immigrants from Africa have a very different

I similarly stopped listening to NPR around 2018, because they really leaned into news commentary with a very one-sided bias. I could no longer stand the preachiness of their newer programming, and it seemed that the more established folks

Looks like a slight modification of FActScore [1], but instead of using Wikipedia as a verification source, they use Google Search. They also claim to include a wider range of topics. That said, FActScore allows you to use whatever knowledg

I also recently ditched the streaming services I was paying for (Netflix, Youtube, and Max). I'd love a recommendation for an external Blu-ray drive for ripping media onto a streaming server. That said, I recently discovered Tubi, whic

You're right that parameter updates typically require full state, but during my PhD I've explored some possibilities to address this limitation (unfortunately, my ideas didn't pan out in the time I had). That said, there is r

Good point, they are quite different objectives. Their approach is one that works for simple directives: "Go to ship" or "Pick up iron ore" which lends itself well to sandbox-like games (which seems to be a major focus l

Sometimes I wish I had the reach of Google Deepmind. I created a sandbox environment for the text-heavy RPG 'Disco Elysium' [1]. The current research I'm focused on is having an agent use a natural language interface (via tex

Yes, but the majority of the funding goes to the increasingly bloated institutional overhead. NYU takes 61% of research grants [1], while Columbia takes 64.5% [2]. That doesn't include other fees that PIs might pay in addition. These p

Tbh, I'm surprised there aren't any federated dating sites. Not sure that will magically fix all the issues with current dating platforms, but removing the profit motive while making hosting sustainable seems like a win.

I think this also partly explains the LLM hype — people can be as confidently incorrect as LLMs, or maybe LLMs are as confidently incorrect as humans since they are trained on text from social media.

The article does state this though: According to the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (apcia), a trade association, last year insurers paid out $1.08 in claims for every $1 in premiums they took in.

Can't speak to Pkl, but for Jsonnet I made it possible to fully define then load neural network model architectures directly from Jsonnet config files [1], rather than relying on Python's unsafe pickle module. Since neural network

It's not just cartels, but also self-citations. For example, the original preprint of this paper [1] has 5 self-citations, with the version accepted to EMNLP increasing that to 10. This kind of behavior is sadly pretty common now and w

Not sure how mrmincent did it, but when I searched DDG, it didn't come up with anything. I then switched to Brave Search and it was in the middle of the first page, just past the fold. I specifically searched for: john carmack time

I'm pretty sure that this is intentional. The site's called Daft Social for a reason. There isn't even a link back to the homepage from a given user page and there's no way to find users unless they post their profile li

I don't think they take security any less seriously than most social networks. If you're worried the sending/receiving servers have access to the email address, then it seems you would have to be equally concerned account rec
