MD5 of the username is 9abc27e93b7e3c04b7c599017c1cfe5f ? The top one seems an odd one out in that case?

I feel like he has kind of lost his spark a bit, but he does draw an interesting group of commenters. Similar to hacker news in that regard, sometimes the linked articles are a bit mundane but there is gold in the comments.

Great point, even within humans there are studies that show motivation plays a great role in the measured IQ, eg https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1018601108

So which starting point covers the largest number of people you can reach? I am guessing Brussels since it covers a good portion of the Blue Banana, plus Paris and other big French cities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Are you sure COVID has never been documented in animals? I seem to remember reading about cases where entire farm populations of minks were being killed. Perhaps you mean infection from an animal host to human?

I mean it's cute if you phrase it like that but it becomes a problem when it is used as part of the narrative that established science is corrupt and hiding the truth, coupled with the profit motive getting book sales/podcast ads

This gives off the vibe of a scientist throwing themselves off an epistemic cliff in order to sell a book.

We are last in the sense that we are leaf nodes on the tree of life (at least for the moment)? But of course that is by no means a unique trait, the tree would have many many leaf nodes.

I would say there is a place for both. The "village chicken" I have eaten was indeed quite flavourful, but also had a lot of tendons and generally more chewy meat, while "broiler chicken" have more, blander but also more

Not really, hebbian learning is also learning from experience. Butterfly behavior is probably mostly hardwired.

Sorry if it sounded flippant. The point I wanted to make, and which was not clear from the comment above without opening the link, was that this statement comes from someone with a clear conflict of interest. I think the burden of proof sho

Just wait until the people doing SEO now realize this and start astroturfing at the same scale on Reddit. It'll be ruined much faster and with less hope of getting fixed than Google.

Oh ok yea that would make sense. Worse in the sense of less efficient.

A language model approach will learn grammatical/syntactic and semantic patterns at the same time. So "dog walks man" will be less likely than "man walks dog", even though both are valid, grammatically. I think what
