I hope to preprint my paper for your review on arxiv next week titled: "A Novel Bridge from Randomness in Stochastic Data to, Like, OMG I'm SO Randomness in Valley Girl Entropy" We will pay dearly for overloading that word.

You kind of have to read the article to understand the big bold headings. He is postulating that the way we deal with physical memory (an example of L2 and L3 caches is provided) demonstrates that, as we proceed with trying to form AGI out

You do realize that before ansible there was a whole generation of scripters thinking "yay! some framework that is just going to be endless proprietary bugs I can't fix!" I asked if you tried it, it sounds like you have I gue

What if you took those scripts that you have used to automate your life, dumped them into something like cursorAI and asked the model to refine them, make them better, improve the output, add interactivity, generalize them, harden them, etc

It's "inventor's gate" not "shrewd businessman's gate".

So you're effectively arguing that quid pro quo isn't quid pro quo if you can't prove the counterfactual (that this contract would have happened without drilling rights)? Doesn't that seem ... stupid? To put the onus on

It could be referring to the the underpinnings of how these things are used. Use race as a dimension for something and that ends up as a value in a vector that packs a human into a discreet set of pigeonholes. Then take many of those and s

I said: > Why don't you quote his article and then the wikipedia "interpretation" that is "very biased"? Let's take concrete examples. That's a request for concrete examples. Regardless, why don't

Again I requested concrete examples. Please post what he said and what's actually word for word in the summary you are claiming is biased. It's really easy to talk abstractly and say whatever you want. I think you'll find

Why don't you quote his article and then the wikipedia "interpretation" that is "very biased"? Let's take concrete examples. I'll start, here's an excerpt from the section in question in Larry Sange

It's literally the start of the second paragraph: > A neutral treatment would, of course, give broad factual coverage of such things as where the rioting took place, how many people were arrested, and numbers of injuries and deaths

Nowhere did I claim that there were equally slanted liberal compared to conservative changes. Are we going to play the "reality has a well known liberal bias" game? Am I supposed to find articles on wikipedia that claim Biden lo

This is a very poorly written article that myopically focuses on only the most extremely recent events in the culture war. Wouldn't a better article look at how wikipedia handles, say, the the civil rights act of 1964 and the rise of

Honestly the section of the article on "The Antifa/BLM riots" was absolute garbage. He frames it that "National Democrats generally supported the rioters; portrayed them as “mostly peaceful” activists against fascism an

Yeah that's for females which is not at all what I was questioning. Today I learned do not talk about money when it comes to healthcare initiatives on ycombinator.

Nowhere in the article does it mention the cost to the healthcare system per innoculation. It's also an article written to make it sound like Merck just wants to save lives but you need to also consider the billions off dollars this w

Yeah this is crazy neat but the unnecessary precision is a real bummer that could be solved by just restricting things to three decimal places. For example when I use a utility like https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg&#x

Criticism against Tesla is not rooting against Tesla. Playing options as a result of a CEO shooting his mouth off doesn't make you against the environment or against green technology. In this case, it just makes you a realist. I&#x27

I never comment on here. This was cool enough for me to try to figure out my password and log in and say that you are the tinkerer/creator I wish I could be.
