Would you put spaces around parentheses? It would look ( to most people ) very strange.

No thanks. As an interesting counter-proposal to wasting time with this... look for older less popular/downloaded/featureful apps written by people for their own education, edification and enjoyment. They may not work the way you

> Also, I imagine it's not easy to train a model to notice these "preconceived notions" and react "appropriately" Then don't. It's easy enough to pay a teacher a salary.

It’s just a blog post. No academic is going to read it as more than a very promising early result. The issue is that lay people read every paper or post as if it were a final proclamation. They’re not. Even a peer reviewed paper on the cove

It doesn't really surprise me that's possible. I've landed by accident in a very recognizably DMT state when the stars aligned. It can happen, I just don't generally buy claims of "naturally". It's a preex

It’s not even a well-defined question to ask "what is the best action". To ask that in the context of a fight (not a bounded game like chess) is already to assume the existence of a complete utility function on which to measure it

Technologists in particular, taken as a group, have a very specific philosophical outlook that they don't tend to interrogate in themselves because it's so pervasive and intrinsic to what they work on and how they do so. Fish unaw

No, it is not. First of all the territory isn't fixed. Second of all the existence of a fitness landscape (let alone ocean) doesn't guarantee the existence of unique optima, nor that the ones you identify aren't in a second o

As someone who has gotten a lot out of psychedelics therapeutically, you are correct. Psychedelics do not in of themselves grant any insight or wisdom beyond perhaps raw experiential evidence that our senses are fallible and our perceptio

They can call themselves empiricists all they like, it only takes a few exposures to their number to come away with a firm conviction (or, let's say, updated prior?) that they are not . First-principles reasoning and the selection of

Yes, specifically when it comes to open-ended research or development, collocation is non-negotiable. There are greater than linear benefits in creativity of approach, agility in adapting to new intermediate discoveries, etc that you get by

A lot of overwrought digital solutions here and not the obvious one: Stop selling online. Sell the tickets at a small number of locations near and including the venue, with cashiers empowered to deny suspicious transactions. Could someone p

In practice it does not. If you have had something with FindMy tracking stolen you may know what apartment block it's in, but not what unit. Police won't or can't do anything if it could be in multiple units or would require

Different people evaluate cost/benefit trade offs differently than you do, and don't speak of the matter with metaphorically charged terminology like "abuse", "prison", "Stockholm syndrome", etc.

Forums, perhaps. But small group chats (which I suppose are technically "dark") are the bedrock of the current internet writ large and where most of the content that filters up to places like Twitter comes from.

Depends on 1) where the university is located (CoL), 2) if they went on strike recently to get paid enough to pay rent. You can reliably assume that PhD wages must eventually converge to the rent of a studio apartment nearby + a little bit

Honestly paper, parchment and stone have a pretty bad record as a format. They either degrade or even if preserved can become unreadable (e.g. Linear B) without a surviving linguistic community. Even when the text survives and is rediscover

On some level I hope he tries. There's already mounting hostility on the populist wing of the right towards Elon. Going after anti-trust might just be the bridge too far. And frankly, given his public comments about and noted vitriol t

You might be surprised to learn (it surprised me too!) that the new FTC leadership has affirmed Khan and Kantor's 2023 guidelines on anti-trust and stated they will carry forward with them. It's an odd situation where more aggress

It depends on what you're trying to do. I would in general only expect such substantial speedups when considering writing computation kernels (for audio, video, etc). Compilers today are liable in most circumstances to know many more t

It's not a matter of compiler stagnation. The compiler simply isn't privy to the information the assembly author makes use of to inform their design. Put more simply: a C compiler can't infer from a plain C implementation tha
