Whoa that's a slippery slope! Next you'll want model runners to cite the data their models were trained on

Sounds reasonable. Is there a good benchmark on which make this decision?

Just wait till the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation halts, then you can grow icicles!

The alternative is 4 years of house arrest, just until the next administration can issue a pardon. There is no sentence between 4 years and capital punishment.

I doubt you ever understood the solid state physics, semiconductor fabrication processes, supply chain logistics, monetary policy, shipping routes, mining engineering, etc. "Knowing how things work" is a stone-age attitude.

By "sizable rock" do you mean large pebble or small boulder?

What has "artificial" to do with it? Human intelligence is also unauthorized unconscious plagiarism.

Dependency bloat and dependency bitrot have made solutions less permanent, have increased the maintenance burden. My ancient projects with zero dependencies still stand. But projects I built on shifting dependencies are rotting and cracking

Looks to me like a mob of humans, angry they've been deceived by ambiguous communications, product nerfing, surprisingly low usage limits, and an appallingly sycophantic overconfident coding agent

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is the distinction between hn and social media? Is it the personalization that distinguishes the two? Does "social" mean "feed depends on graph neighborhood"? So collaborative fil

I've also seen a glue-less paper binding trick where two pieces of paper are finely crimped together with some high pressure tool in alternating v^v^v^ patterns, actually making tiny tears in the paper. Does anyone know what kind of to

Wait, is 474 a number or a proper noun?

They're private, that's the beauty. Code is so cheap now, we can ween ourselves off massive dependency chains. 200 years ago text was much more expensive, and more people memorized sayings and poems and quotations. Now text is che

Those business goals will soon realize they need more electricity. More brains will be devoted to power generation.

The same could be asked about people. The answer is social intelligence.

Thank you, I was so confused by the obvious clickbait! I love Grady's videos, but yikes.

> optimum properties for estimating a posterior distribution Circular reasoning: that's true only if the posterior is normal, or if your "optimal" is defined by second moments. In infinite variance cases, the best estimato

Heavy tails are everywhere. Normal distributions have absurdly light tails. Levy alpha stable distributions have power law tails. Power law tails are everywhere. Some things with heavy tails: token occurrences comment thread upvotes

Right. And the CLT is not actually limited to normal distributions. Both of the distribution families I mentioned are central limit theorems. The CLT we first see in school regards means of finite variance distributions, where the finite va

Hot take: bell curves are everywhere exactly because the math is simple. The causal chain is: the math is simple -> teachers teach simple things -> students learn what they're taught -> we see the world in terms of concepts

Is AlphaZero actually machine learning, if there is no data, or the data is entirely synthetic? If so, we must admit that deterministic automated proof search is machine learning. Shannon's and Kolmogorov's accounts of information

I was hoping this would be an infinite length terminal view, like the opening backstory in Star Wars
