For context, you have a consulting business, and spoke at a conference about AI in administering justice organized under auspices of recently ousted illiberal government of Poland. Here's an abstract to one of your "papers":

Yeah, wow, whitepaper expects their reserve matched by other farmers only after 21 years of Chia mining/plotting. I see Bram Cohen got the original authors of "proof of space" or whatever this is to author papers with him, an

The whole point of Bousquet study was comparability, so it had to be the lowest common denominator, especially in a field that defines SotA differently year to year in each wave of research. Your objection wouldn't embarrass anyone.

You are complaining how the article doesn't mention GANs while replying to a comment about article's treatment of GANs. Revealing you are biased against even reading the biased article, or comprehending the parent comment.

That's a significant goalpost move. From debating particular mechanisms and postulated inevitability of AI, to assuming full blown strong Church-Turing-Deutsch principle and moving from there. Along with moving whole discussion from pr

All chemistry is ultimately quantum, same with rocks and everything up to celestial bodies (meaningfully, the moon Hyperion decoheres). For most of calculations though classical models are good enough, vast majority of chemical reactions be

I find these threats doubtful, I don't see the editorial board wasting their life on sustained activism over the years chasing remnants of something they helped to create and what would be served a deathly blow by their resignation alr

The process, as told by the author, was that one of the editors invited to submit, and three weeks later it was published upon which the rest of the editorial board took notice and threatened resignation. By that telling it was published pr

Sorry, but the ArXiv does have a moderation team and stuff is being removed. Alike, most online journals remove stuff by wholly replacing it with a retraction notice. Journals printed on paper issue retraction letters and leave it at that,

Sorry, but it is for everybody to decide. Reviewers don't have a sacred sanction and exclusive right to judge. Many a time in cases of plagiarism I worked through I've met with this argument from the accused authors. It boils down

What the parent charitably didn't stress is that this proof is the totality of mathematical work in this paper. The rest is a stream of words. As such it is a work of social science. It might even have been respectable in social scienc

It captures more of the spatial (metric topological) arrangement in the set. Example they give in the paper is the MINST dataset where distinctly looking digits like 1 and 0 get separated farther apart and similar ones clump together, where

Without (arbitrary) scaling normalization PCA gives different results with change of dimensional units, that is principal components depend on choice of units or scaling.

PCA is dimensionally invalid, it destroys, not preserves structure and consists of arbitrary linear algebra operations. It is "less arbitrary" the way x86 assembly is "less arbitrary" wrt. C (actually it ties you to a ce

Not true, a lot of mathematical problems behave better (but other semiclassical approaches also exist). As for the epicycles comparison, it's actually apt. They could have given complex plane and Fourier analysis for free if they had a

This is something different. Zeilinger paints himself disproving realism alone and has a well known philosophical stance/bias here. Local realism testing here however is about being both local and realist, and pilot waves aren't l

Relativistic extensions aren't pleasant in standard QM either. Bohmian formalism would require something perhaps no less aesthetically repulsive, but surely more alien: a preferred foliation of spacetime to avoid a preferred reference

It would help if these weren't all from the same single source: Zeilinger's Vienna group and friends. On the other hand formalism works seamlessly mathematically, which cannot be said of standard quantum mechanics. Even this year&

It is in fact age limited precisely to combat ageism of the early 20th century. Otherwise only elders would get it (would they outlive the queue of their masters), when it's irrelevant to their career development (but beneficial to the

I just hate people Wow, that's rich. After some decades I discovered that physics too is about people. Social aspect is inescapable. That didn't turn me off, but taught to appreciate the narrative aspect as integral and thus may

That's as much as Turkheimer's three laws of behavioural genetics are saying. Contrary to how this field styles itself it is a quantitative social science having little to do with actual genetics, using next to none of its methods

May that be because this isn't field of genetics at all, but unrelated one called "behavioural genetics" (using quantitative methods of the social sciences, with similar levels of signal, and none of the certainty of actual g

Aggregate statistics for the EU is pretty much the same as for any single member state. You don't get any more complicated history than that, also half bigger than US. I don't see how you're so exceptional an orange. But then

But I see no mention of lists, much less preventive lists. Yup, this is one of the possible mechanisms, but nowhere do I see it mandated as THE mechanism. For me it's business as usual just that now I fingerprint all files and maybe ha

Thank you for this very good summary. This is the most factual recount I've seen in numerous HN threads to date (which have been quite unhinged frankly). However I don't see how this forces content filtering. Service provider has

Falsification is a philosophical issue. Some say it's important. Some could live without. See Feyerabend. None of that matter if there is no theory in the first place. Much was tried. 't Hooft got as far as holographic principle.
