Maybe a use case for NFTs hah.

at present, my understanding is that it is purely linguistic. If you ask "what do you call the wife of a king", it will answer "queen" because that is the highest likelyhood next token. If you ask "what is 2 + 3&quo

In this case i assume Watts = Volts*Amps, if volts is 5v, then its easy enough to calculate the continuous current draw of the chip.

Transfomers are currently state of art i.e. the problems that transformers are currently solving cant be solved better by any other known technique/algorithm. Thats the main reason why they are so popular at the moment. LLMs are popula

How does pot change the economics? If it becomes legal, it will be cheaper to grow it in greenhouses just like its cheaper to grow lettuce in greenhouses.

Putting stickers on road signs can trick humans too... In fact, road signs are just stickers on a bit of metal themselves.

I honestly dont see any point in listing reasons why humans arent algorithms. I only need to conclude that giving rights to immortal, easily copied intelligent algorithms would create problems for human society to decide we shouldnt give th

I would argue the desire to treat RL agents ethically is because people have anthropomorphised them.

RL agents are exposed to millions upon millions of stimuli, almost all of which will be 'painful' at least initially (according to the websites definition of pain). I think for children negative stimuli are not all painful, pain i

I think this argument would have to conclude that training any RL agent at all is unethical, since updating its weights 'away' from some stimulus could be considered pain.

by unlikelymordant 4y ago
I think its quite obvious im not equating chairs and humans. My reasoning is based on the effects to human society of treating algorithms as having rights in any, even limited, sense. I dont think it can be considered rejecting a thing out

by unlikelymordant 4y ago
I disagree with a lot of this, perhaps because i see giving algorithms rights as a slippery slope to giving them too many rights. I understand this article is about the ethics of treating rl agents, but accepting that algorithms must be tre

The polynomial will go through your samples exactly, but you might have arbitrarily high error between the samples ( runges phenomenon), if your data is noisy at all it is much better to fit a low order polynomial to your data that minimise

My understanding is that some co2 sensors assume the minimum value seen over the last 30 days is 400ppm as a calibration. This could possibly explain a negative value if the sensor has been in higher co2 environment for some time, and is su

seems like a good analogy that it's entirely possible for earth's inhabitants to produce so much poisonous waste gas that a new equilibrium is found in which basically none of the original organisms survive and the old status quo

I think there was a period where "being good at searching" and using search engines was definetely a skill, but that time has mostly passed. I see the same thing happening with "prompt engineering", i cant see it being a

"It is important to note that these studies are required by U.S. and global regulators for all antiviral products" - i think this bit of the paragraph you highlighted changes the meaning somewhat.

Can you hire people who know other languages and train them in python? Why would you need to change languages?

I guess i see children having to deal with choices their parents made a part of life. Would the offer of a trip back to earth for any child born on mars go any way to overcoming your concerns?

Moral dilemma: What if children conceived and born on Earth decide that Earth totally sucks, and they want to migrate to Mars? Do we build a wall around Mars and tell them their shitty life on earth is all they get, and they should be happy

The recent UN "gap report" concludes that we are on track for 2.7 degrees of warming by end of century, even assuming the recent commitments made by countries at COP26. So far too little is being done, and 2.7 degrees of warming i

You arent anti-natalist, so your view is that people should be born and die from preventable disease or starvation ("medicine and agriculture saved them")? Isnt anti-natalism preferable to that?

It seems uuids are 128 bit, while sha is 160 bit. There is also sha256 and sha512 for longer hashed. So there shouldnt be any worries about the hash being shorter.

I agree with you about imputation being suboptimal, but there really arent that many classifiers that can natively deal with missing features. Bayesian methods are the best, where you can marginalize over any missing variables, and a few tr

Xgboost is a classifier for tabular data, prophet is for time series prediction. They are different use cases, though you can likely massage xgboost to do time series prediction if you really wanted to. So the question of which is better is
