Do you use it even if you plan the trip well in advance? Have you ever run into problems finding a room or being forced to take a room in a distant part of town?

As someone who was serially consumed by various philosophers when I was younger, I totally disagree. Going all in on a philosopher at least once, especially when you're young, is the best way to really appreciate philosophy. It's

Yep, protocol buffers are like a cross-language type system for the data that moves between systems with the side benefit of compact serialization. They're awesome and definitely a big productivity boost above a certain scale.

I've found Alex Vermeer's 8,760 Hours guide[1] immensely valuable. It's also a guide to doing an annual life review. Maybe one of the best things I've started doing in the last few years. Be aware that it will take much

Permutation City by Greg Egan - Hard sci-fi about what might happen if we could scan human minds in sufficient detail to simulate them in computers. Best treatment of this topic I've ever seen. Diaspora by Greg Egan - Takes the idea mu

Yep. That was the first generation that was only for inference. Subsequent generations can do inference and training.

It's difficult in general to know that the results you're returning are definitely not what the user wants. You're not seeing them think that they know better than you, you're seeing lower confidence results. Perhaps sea

Exactly where my mind went. Does the perspective described in the paper make the Alcubierre drive seem more plausible? Or is there something about the nature of the dark fluid hypothesized that would make it useless for something like that?

One reason might be macros. Since it's a Lisp, it's very easy to implement custom syntax for the abstractions they want to expose, like defquery in their example. Something like that could only be loosely approximated in Python. P

This is extremely rare, way more rare than people who merely think they're fine with much less sleep. Given you seem to have spent a lot of time thinking about this, perhaps you've already been to a sleep medicine doctor, but if n

My thoughts exactly. It's easy enough to hide infringement of a patent like this that I doubt they'd ever be able to enforce it anyway. Did they forget that journalists scan patent filings, especially from big, newsworthy companie

Younger children may need more sleep in total, but teenagers' circadian rhythm is shifted later relative to adults and younger children. They need 8 hours or so that starts and ends later than younger children. Or at least that'

That's much of the math behind AI, but there's much more to building real things with it. It's a cross-disciplinary field touching: - Math, as you say - Software engineering, especially data engineering - Design - since the t

Deep learning generally doesn't run on AMD GPUs, but it runs on a lot more than only Nvidia GPUs. If we're only counting model training, it runs on CPUs, Google's TPUs, FPGAs, whatever other secret datacenter ASICs are out th

Michael Nielsen just this month published an essay on using spaced repetition (and especially Anki) to augment long-term memory. It seems to be part of his work with YC Research. I highly recommend it if this kind of thing interests you. It

I'd say this is better explained by a shift in the distribution of users than by anything changing intrinsically about the device. It seems quite possible to me that the number of people jailbreaking their iPhones and developing weird

Given that Waymo has autonomous cars driving real users around at least one real city with no driver behind the wheel, why are you so confident that autonomy is "at least" decades away? Maybe you mean decades away from market satu
