Absolutely. And what gets lost so often is that the population is still set to approach 10 billion over the next century and either flatten or gradually decrease back to levels still above where we are now by 2200. There is currently no pro

My entire life until past few years, the only population concern was overpopulation. What would we do if override Earth's carrying capacity? Now that it looks like we'll coast up to not quite 10 billion by the end of the century w

There is a strong likelihood that we have more than that. Legitimate cracks are being made in manipulating the biology of aging for the first time. Rapamycin, acarbose, SGLT2 inhibitors are existing (generic even) compounds that are showing

I feel like there's something I'm missing about Hugging Face. Every time I try any demo of any model on the website I can never even get a response before it times out.

It's not really a criticism to note the launchpad is completely destroyed. That's an event that happened.

The biggest problem with Watson was that it wasn't ever really a specific software. It was just kind of IBM's branding for machine learning consulting services.

Side question: are there any interesting brand new medical imaging modalities being worked on these days or is all work focused on improving existing ones?

From reading this letter, I don't understand: * Why is there an assumption that AGI wants to domainate anything? * Why does AGI want to dominate the physical universe? * Why is AGI interested in "using our atoms"? * How would

Where would you consider NYC in this framework? It's a city of transplants and many people come to make their money and either leave (or move to the bedroom communities outside the city). But for the most part, laws are enforced, there

Are SF’s problems really necessary for SF’s successes? There are lots of fabulously wealthy cities that seem to do a better job.

If NPR was controlled and coerced by the United States government, wouldn't there be at least some observable difference in content depending on who was controlling the United States government at any given time?

I would certainly be peeved if I showed up to a midterm that asked questions outside of existing human knowledge.

I think the hallucinations show that it's not simply overfit to all of human knowledge. To hallucinate, there is a certain amount of generalization and information overlap that is necessary.

The label was created for organizations that are controlled or coerced by their governments so people could take what they say knowing it had potentially been crafted by that government. I don't think there would be anything wrong with

Assuming this plays out, I wonder if the anti vaccine subculture will react to it. If we get to a place where avoiding vaccines essentially means leaving yourself open to cancer and heart disease, how many people will still hold fast vs cha

If NPR isn't really under the influence of MyPillow or depend on MyPillow funds, then why not simply cut ties? (Fox News gets about the same percentage of revenue from MyPillow and Balance of Nature as NPR does from grants) My joke her

It's serverless in the sense that you are responsible for 0% of server configuration or operation. It's your deployment that is serverless, not that servers don't exist.

They never tried to hide any double meaning. It was pretty explicit when they launched the label: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2020/new-label... > Unlike independent media, state-affi

Unless we're listing out all the sources of funding the various media organizations have, what would be the new use of this label if not to say "watch out"?

by qgin 4y ago
Pretty clearly disingenuous on Twitter's part. Whether you agree with content on NPR or not, it doesn't change depending who is in power. It would have been nonsensical to apply this label during the last administration.

It’s not immoral or unethical to digest information, but the difference is when a computer can do that digesting of information the scale is very different than if a human does it and it blows up the incentives for people to create content
