> Experiments show that transfer learning basically doesn’t exist, average people simply cannot apply principles they’ve learned in one context in a completely different context. This is an exceptionally bold claim. Sounds dubious. >

When you think about game design you have two big buckets. Writing code to make mechanics work, and writing code to make new content. This kind of game is almost entirely the latter because it’s not much more than handling one off edge case

I always thought that game must have an incredible ontology underneath it that would be amazingly useful to other ventures... I also recall playing it and, at a certain point, realizing that I was stubbornly uncreative in using the variety

Written by a guy who’s livelihood is supporting AWS customers. I have no strong opinions on the topic, but the author sounds like an asshole going for the impression that confidence == competence.

When I first read this I couldn’t think of a good use case. Then the example shown seemed like something I deal with all the time and wish I could do. But then I realized I would need to remember to add reloading to the range before I commi

> It's worth noting that traditionally, actual insurance runs at a loss or break-even, most of the profits tend to come from investment. I hadn’t considered that. It sounds like another reason why insurance is broken. If you have tw

Is this the same for pigs and possible related to African swine flu difficulties?

I don’t think I agree with that. If we imagine people can pass through each other but must still obey the rules of the queue (one person at an item at a time) the overall wait time is not going to change much. When you think back to your bu

I wonder if there aren’t multiple us agencies competing for a majority share Unbeknownst to each other, all of them limiting the abilities of the others, all of them making it a better platform for those wishing to remain anonymous

Well if you abandon the right to all government services, then someone else will be stealing your home instead so, idk, pick your poison.

That seems like arguing about metrics for the sake of it. If we change the definition to be x% reduction in the rate of accidents relative to the expected rate if a non autonomous car would be use otherwise... you would get a similar rate o

I’m not sure I’ve seen those. Their coffee ones are pretty good, and they have snack ones like everyone else. I’ve also seen vending machines giving tickets as a way to order food. But I’m not sure I saw a working model for meals

The location thing is a pretty big deal because they need permits to occupy the space. They also require someone to take orders and exchange money. And to your point, since they sit in one spot all day, you order from them if you come acros

Sure, but that doesn’t really change the issue that it’s quite a bit of labor to have one person carry one meal at a time. I think most delivery is in a weird spot of having lowish quality but highish prices. I think there’s an opportunity

It’s like making it illegal to not greet your neighbor each morning. The underlying premise is to make things nicer, but it’s also just stupid. A good rule would be “try to be considerate of pronoun preferences”. The wants of the LGBTQA com

I think food delivery will come to be won by pseudo food trucks. Vehicles with minimal cooking capabilities, perhaps just warming, that go around delivering standard uncustomized meals. The economics of one driver picking up one order and d

You’re stringing together a few questionable statements here. It’s true that the vast majority of cars won’t be autonomous for “a very long time” so the vast majority of deaths won’t be prevented. But what’s your point? That if the vast maj

I wouldn’t overindex on this. I think this article is talking about biorepositories, which have a fair bit of work to do in storing organs in good condition and matching the donor data to clinical trials. More critical organs like hearts or

I meant the claim that most politicians are middle class. That being said... I’m no genetic expert but I’m pretty sure these papers are garbage. They keep referring to genetic influences but as far as I can tell, do not use any genome data.

And I think I understand that’s because they’ve elected an Iranian favoring government which they believe is causing limited economic opportunities- or perhaps anger at the government due to its violent response to generic economic protests

I mean I’m sure American influence has been a clusterf * But I guess what I’m trying to say is I can clearly explain why I want the Hong Kong protests to be successful. I don’t think I can do the same for Iraq
