It's a simple probability calculation. SF has a smaller area which results in anyone having the possibility of getting targeted by dangerous people. Larger cities also have more gang violence because they are bigger and gangs try to

"Personal failure" is a stretch, and in contrast broadly saying it's never about willpower is also a stretch. Humans are capable of accomplishing amazing feats of physical control. Our minds have incredible power over our bod

Seems like a pedantic argument. Obviously there is always a human behind it unless it's sentient and can make its own decisions, at which point there are much bigger ethical considerations to discuss first.

Yes, I think hat is incorrect. There's a good chance the artificial neural network is firing functions in an analogous way that our language part of the brain is firing neurons. I think this is intuitive if you believe math is discover

Funny you mention Carlin, since there is a GPT Carlin reacting to the posted video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAUuyEP7QtQ It's pretty amazing and it's refuting all the points of the video almost flawlessly.

I don't understand why not pass legislation that incentives the desired behavior instead of punishing the opposite. Politicians could focus on making electric power cheap, safe and reliable, and then the choice is obvious to switch to

I've been thinking the same. So far I studied a lot of the theory, and got familiar with using some of the most popular models. I'm thinking building a few toy models will be the next step, and then maybe solving some specific pro

Ok, well let's hope they find a solution after 10 years and billions of dollars (and the problem getting worse). Surely they'll get it this time.

The real problem is accountability, and there is none if the same party holds power and has no competition. They have no incentive to avoid failure, no real consequences, so they play political games with these issues just to virtue signal

I don't think it's possible unless the improvements do not involve any kind of mathematical breakthrough or new kind of model. In theory GPT is only modeling existing data and at best creating something new by combining what alrea

It's definitely going impact simple frontends that don't need complex app logic. Arguably that is already the case with so many of the existing frameworks taking over, but now if you don't need a framework chances are it can

UIs have become more complex in parallel to more sophisticated tooling. Most websites now use persistent state and are reactive, where before those features were not as widespread. So I would say it has evolved, and the entry point for FE d

Abstraction is powerful. It lets you control more with less. As you keep abstracting things get complicated. Category Theory studies abstractions and lets you build extremely abstract systems, which can be leveraged to create reliable and a

CT describes type theory really well, which is used in a lot of programming languages. Monoids and Monads come from CT, and their implementation doesn't really explain what the concept really is (it kind of does, but not really). The p

Now that you mention it, I also have a gas stove and that day the temp. was in the 30's. I was still able to stay warm at night. So it's the same problem.

Just a few weeks ago there was a big power outage that lasted 24 hours because of a storm. I'm glad I have a gas stove because I could still cook and prevent food from spoiling. Making everything dependent on the power grid is just put

Right, we don't know enough about the brain and/or conscious experience to determine where and how morality arises. In a way this is part of the risk. We might stumble on emergent morality with a large enough language model and no

To be clear, the power I'm talking about is about controlling people. There can be peace without needing to hold power against other people... unless they are the ones wanting the power. So for example, self-defense is not about power.

When everything is about power, even history is a threat. It's sad some people fall for this pessimistic and divisive ideology.

So some fruits are also vegetables? That doesn't seem right. I would think they're mutually exclusive because fruit is more precisely defined. If tomato is a fruit, then necessarily it is not a vegetable. It's a simple distin
