Cool, so what kinds of people typically leave and what kinds of people typically stay?

It's like anything else. If you're interested in the subject matter, the most productive is a combination of the two. Also analytical philosophy is the direct precursor to computer science and a huge influence on math as we know i

This seems like a decent summary of Kant, though like Kant's own work, it involves a gross misreading of Hume. To paraphrase Chomsky: Hume and other so-called empiricists did not actually believe in tabula rasa because they were not im

Since you bring up Einstein, it's worth noting that he felt like he had disproved Kant, yet he claimed to be hugely influenced by Hume, an alleged empiricist (whom Kant even explicitly called out), though Hume's "empiricism&q

If that's the argument, we should pull public funding then. More generally, I actually sincerely support the concept of free speech, so I want people to have free speech. Since that is my position, it's hard for me to see much

In my experience, anyone who can write at a post high school level is accused of being an AI by everyone who can't.

I don't care if I took out a full page ad in the NYT; it's still not the government's job to keep an index of what I've said that's pro or anti government. This isn't North Korea.

No, generally what entitles you to smear people with generic insults without facts is the principle of free speech.

Fed chair Powell explains, pretty much every time he speaks, that this is due to lack of participation in the labor pool which is a bad thing.

Meanwhile their employees and "community leaders," i.e. redditors, continue their unending campaign to demonize civilians who would dare hold bitcoin without permission.

Maybe you're much sharper than I am, but I am thoroughly convinced that what already exists could fool me for a long time under the right circumstances.

I personally would never work in intelligence because I'm capable of reading the big numbered list we can all see.

It's sensitive because our government is full of criminals, and that makes it look bad.

The federal reserve's plans to hike interest rates were never, at any point, a secret.

Never give up an opportunity to demonize real monetary systems, the good guys. Be venture capitalist depositing millions in uninsured capital at your VC bank while completely ignoring interest rate risk because you think your buddies can ju

Yeah I think the SEC should work on real things instead of designating people as "cults" for running computer networks they dislike.

by ofslidingfeet 3y ago
Actually no, but nice try, and I'm sure your extremist uninformed view of what's a "cult" is representative of the SEC's general posture.

I wouldn't be in favor of winding down the military. I would be in favor of giving private contractors a choice between subjecting themselves to meaningful oversight or we can reallocate their funding to entities that will.

by ofslidingfeet 3y ago
Maybe instead of hiring private contractors to invent new propulsion systems and then conceal them from the public good, we should give some of our ~$600 billion military budget to these agencies.

There are people who can hear up to 22khz and beyond, so I've never understood why many of these arguments aren't easily resolvable on that basis alone.

“We didn’t set out to attack proprietary large language models and chatbots,” Fredrikson said. “But our research shows that even if you have a big trillion parameter closed-source model, people can still attack it by looking at freely avail
