Agreed. The best animations "mean something". As in, if a page swipes left in a transition, it should be to indicate to the user that they're moving forward in a workflow, and the reverse, backwards. Up/down imply the sa

To A and B: human babies exit the womb with pre-baked intelligent reflexes. These are so distinct and ubiquitous, they are used to test the health of newborns (eg rooting for a nipple, closing into a fist, etc.) Models are static. You read

Thanks for posting that here. He doesn't offer a voting system, so I couldn't downvote his statement directly, 1) for being a tremendous strawman. Nobody said it can't still be useful or world-changing, only that it's a

I'm sorry, but if you create an NLP product and Chomsky says you missed the mark, you missed the mark. He practically admits to how far ahead of his time Chomsky was, but then somehow tries to mischaracterize it as a bad thing: In thi

I missed this prior to now, but (in my experience with web analytics - I'm not a Twitter dev) impressions are typically when it appears in a users view. A "scroll past" is usually enough, because advertisers just want to know

The sole aspect of this denial is that I work in ML and know for a fact that ChatGPT's "humanness" is - at best - superficial. It's mimicking the text created by humans, not formulating the core ideas in a soupy model of

I think this is a bit pedantic. At the end of the day, the weights that determine the odds of the next term are still completely bound by the limits of the training data, and I'm pretty sure that's what GP was referring to.

That puts things in a more clear context for me. Thank you for your reply.

Is it though? Just because somebody follows Musk does not mean they engage with his content enough for it to be floated up past everything else they may follow. It's very likely that a great deal of those followers don't find his

By the sound of it, the plastic waste (that has already been manufactured) is being concentrated into the responsibility of a centralized entity, instead of dispersed further down the supply chain, where it will be more difficult to recover

Thanks to the idea of disliking as a meme, the ratings are essentially meaningless. An overwhelmingly disliked video is probably worth watching, if for the humor alone.

HN only works because of supplemental rules and heavy moderation, which both look very different on Reddit. Even if a subreddit reaches a good set of rules, enforcement is usually poor, due both to mods being volunteers and a generally nega

I did this myself, but it only kicked the can on my eventual leaving. Sure, niche subreddits are generally better in their content and discussions, but I still noticed that the same behaviors end up being rewarded. It's the format that

Agreed. At best, you can disallow: / and hope they're polite enough to listen. I can't seem to find anything on OpenAI's crawler agent, so I'm skeptical they're considering robots.txt at all.

I will, as much as I enjoyed most of your posturing, including your misunderstanding of what constitutes an ad hominem AND the feeble attempt to invoke the guidelines. Is my tone too harsh for you? Or was it that I assumed the bad faith t

If you'd like to see it stratified as a full-blown fact, here's the interview where John Ehrlichman explained that it was a planned strategy to discredit Nixon's naysayers. https://harpers.org/archive/201

I firmly believe that you don't understand statistics on a basic level, and you've wholly demonstrated that in this comment by throwing around a bunch of "explanations" with no basis but your own intuition. So the irony

At first, I typed out a more long-winded reply about why one can't conflate the self-report statistics of victims with the motivations of police in violent skirmishes, but I've been reflecting a lot lately on choosing my battles.

But what you're describing is exactly where "counterculture" flips over to "culture". It may have been counterculture at one point, but once it's grabbed up by the mainstream canon, it is no longer countercultu

Yes, because we all are by merit of participation alone, and servicemen are often baited into enlisting via capitalistic motivators (enlistment bonus, GI bill, insurance, etc.) We'd be dealing with reality, not the denial proliferated

Without a doubt, it is servitude, but I feel it downplays the plight of servicemen like yourself to roll it up into that "of country". The expended lives towards obtuse ends is far more tragic than that of something noble like lif

I agree with you overall, but that "serve their country" line makes me cringe every time. The military's operations are vast and numerous, but also politically-motivated and, at times, disgustingly utilitarian. Obviously, no
