It is like having Google's MusicML output a mp3 of saxophone music and then ask what proof is there that MusicML has not learned to play the saxophone? In a certain context that is only judging the output, what is meant by "play

I just always assumed an "open office", really meaning a non-office, an empty building, was what was available for startups after the dot com bust in SF. Then after the fact we made up a bunch of bullshit as to why this is some br

I think it is a really great article but I am a chef too already familiar with the ingredients and style of cooking. I think the main issue is getting people to try new dishes. Of course, the dishes have to be good and not just the chef foo

I don't see how it really matters. A bigger issue is that some days there is just going to be nothing to report if you want "real" news. "Today nothing happened, the end" would not work. So you would have to lower y

I love NPR but to believe NPR is not biased reporting is completely delusional.

Or we could just keep the same system we have now and politicians could focus on real issues instead of meaningless bullshit like this.

I still remain positive honestly. 25 years ago I could never have imagined the internet we have today. 25 years from now we could easily have a free internet protocol that is taking hold and the whole process repeats. So much has came and w

I am guessing you have never worked at a giant corporation with 5 levels of useless middle managers that have no purpose if there are no office politics to manage? Those are the managers that hate work from home. Not managers actually doing

I don't personally see how an individual can judge this at this point unless it is a huge leap. More importantly, if the model is not a huge leap at this point I just don't care if it is as good as the very limited models we alrea

The truth is that we are very limited apes that are highly prone to self delusion and believing nonsense, trying to understand an impossibly complex world. At the aggregate we seem to be making progress while at the individual level humanit

It is also the normal state of the economy to not job jump because it is normally hard to get a job. The far from equilibrium state was software jobs with 0% interest rates the last decade. Then you have people who entered the workforce dur

As if software is the same thing as a new biological species. I am just so bored of reading bullshit like this. If you really believe this then you need to level up your level of education and learning. It is not good.

John D. Rockefeller argued against Standard Oil being broke up on the grounds that it only was so big because it is just that efficient and innovative. It also kept the price of kerosene low for the consumer. If it was broke up it would als

Because no one watches something like the shot put other wise, EVER. It use to be the Olympics were the one showcase for the non-popular sports. Case in point, the shot put. One of the long standing "unbreakable" records was Randy

We are also only counting the winners who all took huge risk. Many more took huge risk in the past and lost everything. It strikes me as rather absurd to believe it was better in the past when capital was much harder to come by. Imagine try

I had never in my life heard of this before now and I am no stranger to hotels. I would go straight to the front desk, demand my money back for that day and then never stay with hotel again along with making sure the corporate office got a

I thought the article seemed pretty bad so tried to read the actual paper too. It really might be one of the worst papers I have read. It is basically a magazine article using more scientific sounding language. There is a huge age/expe

I don't know, my experience is all this is really hard to judge. I would have a really hard time saying that 4 in April 2023 was better than 4o now though. I have always wonder if it matters what time of day you are using it too. I fee

It is an absurd headline but having to take a drug for life is surely better than the pain of arthritis.

I am old myself. It is not ability to learn with age that is suspicious it is wanting to share it like this and it would be a clever marketing move. I will learn new things until the day I can't. I am currently learning the Stan langua

They most certainly were not. There is no netflix and chill without birth control. We take birth control for granted now but the dynamics are so different if casual sex leads to children. It is an insane practice for both parties without bi

This is not really true either though. If you go to the grocery store or any place with many people you could do the same thing as online. What is interesting is the sociology of how guys will swipe right basically everyone online and basic

My understanding of data fusion is that it wouldn't matter much what you do. If you live in the modern world you are producing data about your actions and that data is going to be collected.

I have been thinking about this comment and if it isn't a celebrity then just someone you know? If not someone you know then just a random stranger? Not that I can think of a better use case but it is telling if this is the best we can

Younger people really should consider this point. Personally, I don't use streaming video outside of work and there are no videos of me on youtube or any social media to train a model on even if someone wanted to. My mother in her 70s
