Error correction doesn’t insure truth. At least in communication, it insures that the final version matches the original version. For AI, you wouldn’t be doing EC to make sure the AI was saying truth, you would be doing EC to ensure that th

In many areas of communication and information, this exact problem is dealt with through error correction codes. Do AI models have built in ECC?

My favorite kind of sci fi is the stuff that throws you into a new world with new cultural references and doesn’t bother to explain them. Gibson is a good example. It’s a similar good feeling to getting off the train in a foreign city pre s

Interesting article, but surprisingly poor writing for a flagship big city newspaper. It’s full of typos and incomplete sentences. Is it AI generated text, or just a frantic writer with a dozen more articles to crank out today?

Donkey car works really well. It uses a camera and by default trains it to follow a lane line. I bet it could be trained to follow an edge pretty easily though. It’s a well documented and easy to implement project. https://docs.d

The essay seems well reasoned, but the one example he gives looks misguided. > But… that gets everything backwards. The reason for this excessive caution around nuclear power was the lack of thoughtful and careful early deployments, lead

I thought your comment was spot on. I just appreciated the possible turn towards nihilism or existentialism. We spend so much of our life determining what is useful in one sense of the word, and rarely stop to think about the usefulness of

Is there a name for this type of analysis?

I see. Thank you for the interesting article. The Tragedy of the Commons as a historical event in Medieval England has been criticized (hard to say debunked from this one article, but perhaps there are more). The Tragedy of the Commons as a

Can you tell me more about how the tragedy of the commons is a myth? I am no economist, but I thought it was a straightforward and well understood outcome.

Devils advocate: maybe your boss wanted the team to function autonomously, and was avoiding making decisions that could be made at your level?

Any idea where I could buy this? It would be really helpful for my work.

Yea, that’s super annoying! Just like the word car doesn’t mean anything. Last time someone threw out the buzzword car to me, it turned out they were actually talking about a 2008 four door Honda civic with four speed automatic in blue pain

Anything revolutionary you are aware of? Knowing that we will need one soon, and dreading the usual options, I’m ready for a revolution.

Seems like most true technology breakthroughs come from materials science. It is much harder to get the benefits of those advances though, since the path from materials science to product can be long and complicated.

Thanks for the informative reply. Your comment rings true to me, since I am aware of other medical systems that are marketing tools. I have questions though. Is the davinci amazing? I have heard that it is. Why doesn’t someone else make a s

What an amazing world we live in. There is nothing interesting about a robotic assisted surgery able to perform more delicate and sophisticated operations than the best human surgeon in the world.

Great article. It seems like the classic music industry is in many ways like the VC model. Fund/invest in many startup bands, with the goal that one in a hundred get huge and return massive profits. The end of the article talks about B

I don’t think so. Can you tell the shape of a vase by looking at it? Would you say “yes” or would you infer that the speaker was asking if you could distinguish all unique vases from one another by looking at them?

The author uses the example of Kepler and Newton to claim that NN based AI can’t generalize like humans can, so it can’t become a AGI. Was Urek, the first caveman able to generalize a physical theory of orbital motion when he looked up at t
