I think the issue is less about creating a new benchmark and more that the existing benchmarks shouldn't be called anything related to AGI unless they measure AGI. If a model couldn't go to work as e.g. a first year apprentice plu

That seems kind of nuts when you could stick a few solenoids on the pedals and steering wheel, mount the sensors from the head onto the chassis, and skip the need for a humanoid robot.

I imagine part of what makes it difficult is that people can and do reuse plastic bags. If I reuse a plastic bag 20 times before it breaks then you now have to reuse your cotton bag 3460 times, which is much harder.

One really nice economic factor of the dole is that it disappears at a rate of 50c for each $1 of earnings above $150 and at 60c above $256, so there's no welfare cliff. This does mean that you're effectively only earning 40c for

I think the example I gave is a good counterpoint: - you have a monolith, and it handles normal API traffic patterns - you have a workload that involves different hardware needs e.g. extremely high throughput relative to the rest of the sys

Big companies mostly seem to use the microservice(s) per team model. If your whole company is two founders, one account manager, and an engineer, you only have one team. It can make sense to have more than one service for purely technical r

I believe crows can be more aggressive than ravens, maybe because they hang out in bigger groups rather than pairs. I haven't heard about it being limited to Australia, though. We only have a couple of species of crow and if you'r

I believe some people have aphantasia and hyperphantasia, but a lot of people who claim they have either are somewhere on the bell curve between them. I also suspect that some of the people who think they have aphantasia could learn. I pers

I would describe PIAAC literacy levels 1 and 2 as barely able to comprehend English, and someone who wrote at a corresponding level as barely able to write. They're close to the line of illiteracy, particularly PIAAC 1. I believe the m

Stuff doesn't need to be clarified unless it's unclear. If stuff is unclear, and someone objects to the lack of clarity, and a clarification is offered, then surely the statement was NOT "fine as written".

LLM speak is of "higher" "quality" to a superficial inspection because it uses big words in a grammatically correct way. It is worse because it fails to communicate information well. When I say it can barely speak Englis

We're redirecting an increasingly large portion of the world's R&D funding into building data centres to run LLMs which can barely speak English ("Good observation - that's the pivot point. I'll land the load be

Well, no, because in this case the difference between "many", "most", and "all" was unclear and was being used for rhetorical effect to support a contentious point. You can't just make a broad assertion in

Hang on, no, imagine if someone said "people eat meat" and it was the core part of an argument that people need a minimum of 2 acres of farmland to support their food consumption. It would be important to point out that vegetarian

Yeah definitely! I'm not suggesting exercise is comfortable, just that a 10 minute workout that takes a sedentary person another 20 minutes to recover from has less of a lifestyle advantage over a 30 minute workout that ends with a gen

> This is the conflict. WFHers are happy without forcing RTOers to work in the same manner. RTOers are only happy when they force WFHers into the office. If you work from home and I work from the office, you're forcing me to collabo

What I was thinking is that I'd like to see some research on recovery time, physical impact for the rest of the day, pain after training, productivity on tasks after training, and so on. My hypothesis is that HIIT and other high intens

From the public health perspective, zoomed out far enough, motivation and habit are the same thing. You want people to do X; which factors hurt and which help?

Reading these studies has slowly convinced me that motivation is a more important factor than optimising a workout. Yeah, we know that resistance training is wonderful and so is high intensity cardio, but the biggest barrier seems to be mot

Interestingly, using source would have the same "bug" as TFA mentions. Though the obvious fix is to use single quotes in the .env file.

The claim is usually that A) people have an inflexible appetite and will be increasingly driven to eat while at a caloric deficit, B) at some point this is almost involuntary and that point differs between people (e.g. consider not eating f

Misery week might greatly increase happiness during the week itself. An unheated room with an outdoor toilet, no running water, limited food options, and hard work is basically going camping.

I don't mean to be a jerk about this, but if you ever find an owl pellet and pull it apart, you'll be able to see the exact number and species of small animals it ate the previous night. Owls spit out roughly one pellet a day. Med

What do you mean "the distinction is faint"? The distinction is clear and obvious: does this thing have actual ecological value, and does this group suggest viable alternatives?

He was wrong. Animals don't "instinctively" reach a natural equilibrium when they're introduced to a new environment. They eat all the available food, die off en masse, and repeat, until the food sources which were vulne

Well, the contention of TFA is that you will turn ideologically crazy if you have an extreme belief and only speak to average people who disagree with you. Turning ideologically crazy sounds like something that would also happen if you only
