Wait you mean life isn't a video game where my position in a company completely defines me as a person, and if I don't destroy all my colleagues (read: competitors)with cruelty and cunning schemes I still have value?

I've never seen a coming clean story. But this has been going on at every scale for decades. The scientific method isn't broken but the institutions that surround it and the people riding the tops of it tend to be. It'd be ea

Maybe we are wrong about complexity theory. I know people who have dedicated good chunks of their lives to studying it. One things for sure, if we are wrong about it, and have no basis for studying any of its exceptions, it's hard for

I once tried talking about how there is probably a fundamental limit to how deep of a graph traversal chat bots can do to a colleague. And he started blankly at me and said "it'll work". As if chat bots can now solve NP compl

Most ML papers I used to read fell into a couple of categories... 1. Baseless empirical result that probably was p hacked. 2. Mostly untested result. 3. A rediscovery of something know for decades without attribution to the source they prob

A lot of people don't realize this but... Einsteins final equation in special relativity was already known and reported. What Einstein did there, most likely with much help from his wife, was rephrase the math. General relativity, agai

There are probably ly a hundred. Many people have asked for research into this for I don't know 20 years. But the hype doesn't die down and modern trends have mostly involved doing more GD with bigger models... A colleague and mys

As someone who has nothing to do with the army/military. There's two principals that I've always liked about it, maybe more but two stand out. 1. No one gets left behind. 2. People work together for mission wins and mutual su

The ability to desolder without damaging a board is an underappreciated skill . It's not a disorder man. You're a geek and there's nothing wrong with that. Happy to have bumped heads with someone who found something they love

Just putting it out there. Might not want to entrust your life when you're in a vulnerable state relating to something only humans and some animals have to a chat bot.

Ohhhh I see. Well in that case it'd be similar to the article I which case I am a doofus. Yes. Yes. Ignore me :)

Okay let's pretend chat bots have human level intelligence. Has there ever been a topic you read a lot about and went to go do something with it only to realize you had no idea what to do when something went wrong? I sure have. Reading

Didn't some guy kill himself because his side chick AI chat bot told him too. Leaving behind a wife and kids?

The war on drugs has done incredible damage to chronically ill, and patients suffering severely. The amount of relief patients could get from debilitating pain was far better in the 1800s than it is today. People often end up rehospitalized

I can't imagine a mechanism where that's plausible, but it wouldn't be the first time I felt that way and was shown something surprising. He probably just built up a tolerance.

So synthesized ethanol will be the same in every respect as purified naturally sourced ethanol except perhaps down to the balance of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen isotopes. But yes startrek was/awesome regardless.

I think the right word would have been 'execute' programs. Not compile. Thanks for explaining.

I know F#, I know roughly what RISC-V is. Not sure I understand the high level though. Is it that they formalized the instructions set in F# or is it that F# now can use the formal instruction set to compile programs? Sorry this isn't

I've had them out perform frequentist methods, but there is a real cost too it and some of it is closer to witchcraft then science. That said, I'll have to give this a spin sometime soon.
