Can you name a single successful implementation that can e.g. implement modern concurrent lock-free data structures without using `unsafe`?

Read the paper I linked to. The researchers aren’t stupid, obviously they try to control for things like schooling. Therefore, the strongest evidence for heritability of IQ (and the fact that it increases with age) comes from twin studies,

Thanks for extensive answer. Do you have a few of these cutting-edge algorithmic advances papers in mind, could you list them? I guess I got too pessimistic because of things like "emergent features" [1] / "grokking&quot

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but from a non-practitioner's perspective, how or why is this sensible? Most of the cutting edge papers are trained on several $100k worth of GPU time, so does it even make sense to implement the alg

Yes. I learned Spanish on Duolingo and used it to travel through Cuba (where very few people speak English). It worked well enough, I was able to communicate. Not knowing Spanish would make things much more difficult. Of course I have by no

GPT chat confidently claimed that Bill Gates never flew with Lolita Express (Jeffrey Epstein’s plane), even when I cited a New York Times article. So, your mileage may vary

Not really, no. For obvious reasons, genetic material is very hard to get into a cell. The immune/digestive system fights it! That’s why mRNA (BioNTech & Moderna) and DNA (J&J) vaccines took so long to develop!

You got it the other way round. After the 1% protests, media started publishing social justice articles to divide & conquer the population. The percentage of woke words like “racist”, “sexist” and “gender” rose rapidly!

The only people HFT “harms” are traders, i.e. voluntary participants in the “get rich” game who are likewise trying to win, but aren’t good enough. BigTech ads are instead non-consensually forced upon people and steal their attention (best
