This article highlights a gripe I've had for a while surrounding this conversation: Analog and digital computing may be mathematically equivalent, but the devil is in the implementation, basically destroying any sense of equivalence in

Unluckily, that means all of us. Contemporary neuroscience tells us the experiences of the two are indistinguishable.

There's a huge difference between modeling only the stimulus/response, and modeling the full interior and exterior dynamics. "Digital twin" only refers to the latter. I wholeheartedly agree that it's a safe bet that

In my experience this mostly occurs when people don't recognize names like Popper and Feierabend, and consider science and humanities to be mutually exclusive. Likely borne of a neurotic desire for certainty in all things. At least, th

Almost: most of the history of physics is based on detectors being sensitive to things people didn't even know existed . Fits and starts based on happy accidents. The teleology of scientific progress is a myth. The most famous example

By that extremely simplistic logic, so is literally any other theory of gravity. This is not an argument, this is a flailing and empty justification.

"Evidence" in heavy scare quotes, considering, again, the tautological nature of the claims around the existence of dark matter. "Something must be here that we are missing" is, frankly, a bullshit hypothesis that need n

Planets that reflect light are easy to detect.

Have you ever encountered the phrase "grasping at straws"? The pursuit of explaining dark matter has gone through many waves of "we just need to invent detectors for this particle that has never been observed" and is lit

Your point was orthogonal to the point of epistemology. This isn't Reddit, we respect actual arguments here.

The skepticism you display in this comment is completely absent when you reference lambda-CDM elsewhere. Consistency invites zero criticism :)

I follow the lead author, Stacy McGaugh, via his blog where he posts discussions and musings about the latest research into the dark matter vs MOND debate: https://tritonstation.com/new-blog-page/ His arguments are ver

This does seem like a paper worth publishing but I agree it doesn't belong in a conference like ICLR.

I encounter this take more and more, where jargony sciencey language is dismissed as "generated". We forget that actual people do write like this, and self-satisfied researchers especially so. More likely, this author read a bit t

I share your theory. I understand it best in the converse, i.e., we can delude ourselves into thinking we will never be able to understand X or do Y. Not that many can personally identify with the experience, but a huge part of why people t

Is this some AI generated drivel? Or are you intentionally denigrating the Coast Guard? They are a branch of the military. In fact there are six now with the establishment of the Space Force. Also, yes, the National Guard was deployed on 1&

Palantir's entire MO is to create a digital twin of the socioeconomic sphere of existence. This is what exists between the lines when they claim such success in finding ISIS operatives / sleeper cells.

Let the age of AI-SEO begin. This won't fix any issues with existing search, it will just make new forms of the same decaying cruft we're used to.

I've suspected for a while now that the people who find value in AI-generated code don't actually have hard problems to solve. I wonder how else they might justify their salary.

NGPVan doesn't email you with influence campaigns -- their customers do. You are completely mistaken to believe their legal team hasn't insulated themselves from the activities of those who pay rent on their infrastructure.

Ah, the "private citizens owning nukes is covered under the 2nd Amendment" take. Flattening ontologies doesn't do anything useful.
