Yeah, it's interesting how the practice of only listing surnames works well in cultures where people have long and distinct surnames (and often common first names) and is just silly in cultures where surnames are short and common and m

Your rhetoric falls flat against any infant mortality chart. > alienate themselves Sounds like a first-world problem to me.

I mostly agree with you, but there's something to be said for keeping the poverty away from city centres, which is some of the most economically productive land per unit area. American poverty seems to congregate in cities, presumably

This reasoning only makes sense in the context of a dysfunctional system. "We can't gather information because we will react in stupid ways". Surely the correct response for noninvasive tests is to run the test, and raise the

Well, I presume you have to figure out how to evaluate their output, especially for trustworthiness. And that's something you have to do the core of yourself, no matter how many AI researchers you'll have.

One problem is that many problems seem easier than they are, and you only find out that they're hard by failing to solve them. I have often wondered how many unremarkable foundational results would be considered major accomplishments i

Sure, but the failure modes of the traditional human-controlled car are incredibly stupid, we've just gotten used to it.

I agree with the sentiment, but given America's, uh, great affinity for cars and car-centric infrastructure, nailing self-driving seems easier....

Yes, that's almost certainly true. It's very odd that American schools generally run their undergraduate admissions with minimal input from their faculty.

I would guess OpenAI uses LaTeX as their default choice because they want to write equations.

This is ridiculous, Rowling's political views are completely unremarkable for a 58-year old woman and if anything leans liberal. Very few normies in their late fifties would survive the scrutiny she got.

Yes, I would expect amount of work per paper to stay roughly constant in a healthy research community. The whole point of writing papers should be to communicate what you did and found so that others don't have to do the same thing,

His point stands though. The general public can't know exactly when Bitcoin will collapse, because if they could, it already would have collapsed.

Reddit mods already have bots that do this for them. Subscribing to/commenting in the wrong subreddit will get you banned from a whole host of subreddits.

Yeah, but you'd think reddit could pay for 1.5 engineers to get that smoother integration themselves.

Ludicrous. Your models of biology and the moon may predict that, but the chances of your models being significantly wrong are certainly much greater than zero.
