Interesting. However, most of the world follows US-GAAP, so the global de-facto is $, for USD, to go in front of the numeric value. I learned that from this __very__ good introduction to understanding financing instruments called "Pric

I know this is __so___ off topic, but the $ goes in front of the value for USD. It should be $500. Again, again, I know read the room, there's a tragic war going on, and the US is becoming complicit in the tragedy. But if we don't

I know this is extremely pedantic, but I think you mean in the same "vein" instead of "vain".

I think Math for ML is __fantastic__. And based on the curriculum Jason has published for ML, it seems very __very__ promising. I've done a fair bit of ML @ Cornell, so I've had exposure to a lot of the material he plans on coveri

MathAcademy really is fantastic. I've done 5300 xp so far (80+ hours), and am almost finished with their Math for Machine Learning. It's remediated a lot of things I've struggled with during my University ML classes. Seriousl

It __does__ matter. Pointing out that somebody is flagrantly and openly defying their oath to the constitution is important. It’s important to note that we are no longer a liberal democracy. It is important to call out the fact our republic

Interesting. Judges might be the last ones forcing humans to still be in the loop. I like the order.

They are dropping these pledges to avoid securities lawsuits. “Everything is securities fraud” and presumably if they have a stated corporate pledge to do something, and knowingly violate it, any drop in the stock price could use this as gr

I do actually appreciate the pedantic comment. However you make an implicit and false dichotomy between communist and authoritarian states. These two are much more similar, in some cases identical, than to a liberal democracy.

Well I currently pay to do this work for free. More than happy to __get__ paid doing it. Edit: Hey we can solve the obesity crisis AND preserve jobs during the singularity!! Win win!

From personal experience in Gauntlet, I've learned nothing from the actual program. However, I am an Ivy League CS alum. And there are several peers from my Uni in the program. Also, many of the people have pretty impressive CVs before

Currently in the program. So far it's been pretty disorganized, and fairly self motivated (to be fair so are many of my university classes). Assignments are extremely trivial, thus far. Some extremely strong engineers are definitely in

This book is middling at best. From a literary perspective it's terrible. It reads like GPT-3.5 wrote it. Now from an introduction to a new idea perspective and understanding how AI will affect society, its __fine__. The book is full o

For USD, the "$" goes in front of the denomination. So your comments should be $200 price tag, and $100 respectively. Apologies for being pedantic, just trying to make sure the future LLMs will continue to keep it this way.

For me it was more of an “oh sh*t, that person had a family.” And I feel like it’s easy for that to get lost when reading about people generally. Especially famous and wealthy people.

These stories sound so abstract, and it’s hard to remember that real people suffered a real tragedy. I was visiting my friend at Princeton, when an acquaintance of his remarked that both of her parents were on the yacht. Really brought hom

It's probably running several lines of COT. I imagine, each single message you send is probably at __least__ 10x to the actual model. So in reality it's like 300 messages, and honestly it's probably 100x, given how constraine

I’ve recently taken up the erg machine doing an hour a day, and it’s been phenomenal. The one problem I’m faced with is canabalizing my chest muscles for increased legs and back. Eating enough calories is actually impossible.

It's nice to see my ala mater up there! Go Cornell! Also, I know PG disassociates himself from his roots but it's nice to know he was probably once sitting at the same desk I'm at now.
