This is a fantastic research paper, better than 90% of the "real" ones. It's natural science in its purest form, grounded in lived experience. 1. Introduce novel stimulus 2. Observe response 3. Hypothesize about cause So much

Not a property developer, but it depends on how fast the other units are bought, right? If the "many unsold" units start moving, they'll want to get the rentals off their books as well. My guess is they won't break the l

Sounds like a lot of people were involved, there are video recordings, and she has a track record of off-the-grid living. What makes you think it's staged?

Appreciate the example! I've played around with game dev in JS before, how does this compare?

Whether it's real or illusory, I feel like they turned the bitrate down significantly since launch. I'm not getting as many smart electrons per question as I used to.

The word is "tack", referring to changing directions / setting a course on a sailboat.

You're misinterpreting the process and the criticism. 1 + 2 are almost certainly being done together in a blackbox transformer, along with making the colors "pop" and faces "shiny". It's an opinionated edit tha

You're halfway to a point, but none of those words are used correctly. Something like - "React is built to appeal to young developers. By being complicated, internally consistent, and "selling itself", it keeps them work

I downvoted because you already had downvotes (add to the pile!) but I believe it's for the last line, which reads as cold and dismissive. It's easy to throw shade without adding anything of your own to the conversation, and peopl

Is the band a reference to Keep It Simple Stupid? Dont know any of their other songs, but "I want to rock and roll all night" seems like a minimally viable rock hit. Something an incredibly lazy (and smart) artist would write. Rem

Try looking at it from the perspective of reality TV, where attention is everything and there is no actual product. An inflammatory post about the dangers of AI increases awareness and emotional engagement. Especially paired with a calm and

Sounds about right to me, honestly. In my experience, if the theory is predictive, insulting, and has societal ramifications, it's usually correct. Let's say the soul is exclusively located in eye-to-eye contact. Theres a lot of i

by sdwr 3y ago
Maybe the soul is social, and oriented towards others? I believe it can be constructed. If you assume that "the eyes are the window to the soul", you notice some interesting properties. 1. It is far more observable from the outsid

If I had to guess, Q* would involve solving problems quantum-style, by breaking them down along dimensions (not step-by-step!!), then solving the subtasks in parallel and recombining. Basically, most of the LLM intelligence is at the word-t

Yes, it's very pleasant to talk to. The only great conversation I had with it involved playing both sides, teasing apart dimensions, and asking for concrete numbers (1-10 scale). That was the closest I ever felt to being a Asimov rob

Its exactly the same thing, in that it guards against wishful thinking by making you finish your dinner before you have dessert.

By the playground rule: "I'm rubber, you're glue. What bounces off me, sticks to you" The fact they had to make a release saying there was no malfeasance means there was malfeasance on their part.

Pop science evolution has focused on individual + gene-level selection, which are made out to be so efficient that there's no room for experiments. I bet there's some species-level, distributed, scratch-pad-style R&D going on.

Paul Graham is (was) a lonely nerd who felt different than other people. The smokescreen is maintaining this self- identity when his practical situation changed. Reminds me of Kanye, who has been keeping his embattled underdog act up the en

I remember feeling the same. As a child there's a sense that EVERYBODY knows better than you, open to reproach / correction from all angles. Part of being an adult is staking a claim to self-identity.

Goes along with the "don't be evil" mantra. They started as pure tech and found a money geyser, no reason to upset the applecart when they're already making out like bandits.

Thanks for the link, that piece fits very well. There's a loooooot to unpack, but to me: - the 3 men in the tale illustrate why these practices arise in the first place - to ease envy and direct competition - the pardoner is dissemin

With this comment, I think HN has officially matured to the level of a 13-year old girl. I'm proud of us. Congrats on the sarcasm
