I wonder what her motivation is in writing these guides. Also why does she still work as an escort if she's already made so much money? (Also from camming and OnlyFans)

Most AI papers I see aren't directly focused on using AI to help society. It's unclear how a small performance increase on ImageNet helps society, for instance.

Cynthia has a great paper where she distinguishes between "interpretable" and "explainable" https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.10154.pdf

Agreed. This book argues that periods of world history with an uncontested superpower (e.g. Britain or the US) are significantly more peaceful than those without: https://www.amazon.com/War-What-Good-Conflict-Civilization&#

That makes sense to me, and it's also the impression I got from watching this interview with Vladimir Putin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6pJd6O_NT0 I don't think Putin is fully honest, but ignoring what he sa

I wonder if you could form a mathematical model of which districts would be most amenable to a dedicated 3rd party challenger. It seems like you'd want a district which is a "safe seat" (if there is a serious R/D contes

Yang was an outsider who didn't have access to a deep bench of campaign talent the way an established candidate would. It seems entirely possible to me that you are correct but Yang himself isn't to blame -- amateurs were the bes

Perhaps you and I just have different views about what the pool of programming talent looks like. I think of your average CS sophomore as someone who will most likely struggle with Fizzbuzz in an interview setting. I'd say if they&#x

I don't feel very confident in my process overall and I agree this test will produce a lot of false negatives (and said as much in my comment). But, I've never seen someone who had that sort of extraordinary performance on a leet

Yes, I think to a large degree being able to build hard technology is a matter of being extremely fluent with writing code and reasoning about data structures and algorithms, as I stated. Being able to solve this problem in 10 minutes seem

The author wrote this post in the context of hiring at a "hard technology startup". I interpret that as a place where engineers are expected to be able to do cutting edge computer science research (it's not a "well-esta

Does the author claim this isn't something you can train for? I've given hundreds of coding interviews. I always timed the candidate (with their knowledge). So I have a general idea of the distribution of programming speed, and

Can anyone speak to merits/demerits of purism products? A security focused linux laptop is honestly quite appealing to me, although I think preinstalled openbsd would be even better. Would ideally like some sort of secure boot as wel

Fair enough, I hope fusion plants aren't adjacent to bomb technology in that case? Because that could lead to a lot of nuclear proliferation.

There are already cities in California surrounded by forest. We could expand them by adding new homes, building robust fire-fighting infrastructure (including fire breaks) in the process so the homes don't burn down. My intuition is t

Surely there is some way to sequester the carbon in those trees? Seems preferable to letting them burn and releasing it back into the atmosphere. Maybe we could chop the trees down and build homes out of them? Could help w/ Californi

Or, for a darker spin, "absolve yourself of responsibility if anyone misuses your API". I actually think OpenAI gets this right with GPT-3, having fairly strict terms of use for their API, so I'm sad to see seemingly less re
