I must miss some important context here. What exactly was the purpose of his initial email to OpenAI in the first place? Telling OpenAI that Anthropic has apparently solved an important problem but most likely that refers to him and he is u

I also did prefer my plastic Pasmo (essentially the same as suica) card until I learned during my last trip, that it can only be recharged with cash :-/

This is just BS. I had and saw many public discussion also on German Marktätze on this topic, some quite heated. Nobody was arrested or removed from their job or otherwise sanctioned. But of course people were disagreeing. The right to fr

This is just not true. There has been tremendous progress in the field. Starting with google’s experiment in 2019 on showing quantum advantage - admittedly on a useless problem, but quantum advantage nevertheless, to fault tolerant encoding

This is utter nonsense. I have seen and read many reports and articles about the suffering in Gaza and the West Bank in the mainstream media! And you won’t loose your job when expressing solidarity.

But apart from all the other stuff you mention, you’re missing an important point: these things move. And unless all objects are synchronized (which they are not) they occupy a whole orbit, not only their actual volume. If two orbits inters

What really surprised me when I heard about it was that even after all those decades of research and development, there was still room to develop novel laminar flow wings and fuselage to be used in a business jet[1] in the early 2000s. [1]

One of the major problems with dark matter and dark energy is, that the standard model has been experimentally confirmed to such high precision. All possible extensions proposed so far which tried to explain dark matter /dark energy ha

This is formalized in the Kochen–Specker theorem [1]. Quantum mechanics is shown to incompatible with the following three assumptions being true simultaneously: (1) locality, (2) non-contextually (independent of the context of the experim

What I (as a non-US citizen living outside the US) never understood about the US political system is 1. Apparently none sees the (to me obvious) downsides of a two-party system where there is only black and white with cold-war logic of bein

I my view, the 'exactly' is crucial here. They do implicitly tell the model what to do by encoding it in the reward function: In Minecraft, the team used a protocol that gave Dreamer a ‘plus one’ reward every time it completed on

You sure know the concept of incubation time. Barring infected persons from entering if they have no symptoms is not possible. And quarantining every single person who enters is also not possible.

This is the case not only in the Nordic countries, but also across Europe like Germany, Netherlands, Italy, UK and probably others.

Since there are conserved quantities like energy and angular momentum it is impossible that everything just collapses. If something collapses, there is usually a large amount of matter which does not collapse to carry away the energy and mo

I found it quite interesting, that crowdstrike actually exclude a bunch of services explicitly. They also basically say, don’t use, if it needs to be reliable. I don’t know if this is standard for software, but for me this was quite surpris

This is once more an example where looking at the details of a statistic can alter the first impression quite a bit.

I would not disagree that you can do it, but I am skeptical that you can do it in 5 years. Honda did develop their HF118 turbofan engine apparently from scratch, but it took about 8 years [1]. And for the actual commercialization they teame
