I cited a paper which showed “promising pre-clinical results” in the section you cited. You have “trust me bro!” to dispute that. Please stop spreading misinformation.

There hasn’t been a decade in the past 130 years of their existence that Progressives haven’t advocated for systemic racism. We have dozens of programs that were later legislated against or later ruled illegal by courts. There was no time P

As a pure numbers game, I’d find it more surprising if “broscience” never found a result: - a lot of terminal patients are prone to experimenting - their overall number probably eclipses the total number of trial patients in a given year by

For a wavelet based stamp, you might have to stamp your own pattern on top so it no longer cleanly reads. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187705091...

I don’t believe he was law-abiding: I think the United Healthcare CEO was unindicted for fraud, manslaughter, and RICO crimes of a national scale. Gangsters kill each other all the time — boohoo, so sad. I support the government indicting c

You ignored the expected outcomes to emphasize your emotional rationalization based on “jailing a child”. That was never likely to happen, based on how US law works. For theft, even felony theft, you’re usually talking about supervised prob

Compared to what? I’d argue that the US is reverting to the average global experience precisely as its domestic market breaks down due to interventions — eg, destroying small businesses via regulation and mass importation of foreign labor.

This depends on the kid, doesn’t it? > I didn't see any good coming from throwing a 17 year old kid into jail, and I remember how stupid I was when I was 17. For example, being forced to confront the consequences of their actions at

I’d argue most attempts aren’t actually attempts to do good — they’re justifications for doing wrong. Eg, DIE as a justification for systemic antisemitism in employment and education.

I’m not sure I’ve heard it summarized that way before: that good process causes good metrics, but good metrics don’t cause good process. People are indeed prone to affirming the consequent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

You don’t need a mechanism to point out a fact contradicts an assumption, eg, our measurements show non-uniform mass at virtually all scales (including billions of light years). There simply is no observable scale with uniform mass. Obvious

Why shouldn’t they be able to do this? DNNs implicitly learn a type theory, which they then reason in. Even though the code itself is new, it’s expressible in the learned theory — so the DNN can operate on it.

In practice, these companies get a phone number I possess for 1-3 months on a travel SIM rather than the VOIP number I’ve steadily maintained for two decades and by which the US feds know me (because they don’t care).

Not only Magnus was saying he would withdraw if FIDE didn’t approve them also participating in the Freestyle league. Hikaru Nakamura was also saying he’d withdraw if FIDE forced them to choose between leagues. FIDE conceded — and then punis

Very late concurring comment: Hikaru mentioned there had been drama between FIDE and himself about having cameras at the same tournament — and he felt FIDE refused to give him airtime on their streams. Hikaru also had drama with FIDE about

Does Apple explicitly say that? Or only that they don’t know which landmark it matched?

No — users should be the ones to decide if “encrypted on remote storage” is a beneficial trade off for them and their particular situation. I think there’s some weird impulse to control others behind these decisions — and I oppose that rela

They’re the same technology: you don’t get to select only some of the applications, which appeal to your personal aesthetics. We arrived at engines before online chess, and the two have come up together — both being enabled by the growth of

Those reasons exist for learning math: mental fitness, personal enjoyment, sport, etc. But you’ve subtly changed your argument: before you were arguing that the beauty was in creating mathematics, not merely learning already written mathema

You ignored the thrust of my argument: You’re lamenting that inventing boats has destroyed the beauty of swimming. - - - Edit - - - Responding to your expanded argument: You could never swim to a new continent, which boats enabled. This is

Chess has never had a larger community — entirely because computers enable streaming and exciting faster games.

Computers allow us to scale what we analyze in math — and that’s a good thing. Nobody examines structure of group diagrams because drawing interesting ones by hand is borderline impossible, but takes just a few minutes on a computer. Howeve

Presumably people who get into math going forward will feel differently. For myself, chasing lemmas was always boring — and there’s little interest in doing the busywork of fleshing out a theory. For me, LLMs are a great way to do the fun p

You’re implicitly assuming only a global maximum will lead to useful AI. There might be many local maxima that cross the useful AI or even AGI threshold.

Socratic questioning requires the asker to have a deeper understanding whereby they guide with their questions. Do you think that’s what people see in yours?
