I'm pretty sure there was a weird bug in the original C&C generals where the game engine 'tick rate' was somehow tied to CPU cycles and assumed single-threading or something. I remember going back and trying to play it ma

Sure there were some buzz words in there... But the actual core of the post wasn't patronising at all. Might need to take a step back and ask why your response to that was so strong.

My experience observing commercial LLM's since the release of GPT-4 is actually the opposite of this. Sure, they've gotten much cheaper on a per-token basis, but that cost reduction has come with a non-trivial accuracy/reliab

Actually I disagree, see previous comment re: the Fridman/zuch interview. The genuinely cool thing about that though... They aren't sending the video. Instead, they convert both people's faces into skeletal meshes and only se

You can turn off self-view by default. The day I realised this, was the day 75% of my zoom fatigue disappeared.

Oh well that settles it then, because TWO medical professionals could never get something wrong, could they?

Thank you! This is EXACTLY the issue I've been failing to articulate.

Both examples were killed by the state... That's my point, the safeguards failed and the people were euthanized...

I get your point, but there are already MULTIPLE examples of people combining the mental-health component + some externality that is fundamentally a societal failing and coming to the conclusion that MAID is the optimal outcome. "An ex

These are all excellent examples of how MAID should be used, I think the concerning thing is the widening of the eligibility criteria - especially when things like mental illness start to make you eligible. Like... If your illness makes you

> overly self-critical IMO this relates heavily to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ND people's propensity to maximise negative self-perception and minimise positive.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never been able to get a complex type schema to work properly with JSON schema. The moment you have types referencing other types in a way that can become recursive in ANY way, the whole thing seems to

Hate Jira all you want... but this is actually funny.

IMO a healthy relationship with LSD is one where, after a certain point (usually single-digit experiences), you can very confidently wish the substance a heartfelt goodbye, and thank it for it's service. After my third experience, I wo

I find it fascinating how many things like this just completely gloss over the fact that some people have side-effects to these drugs that make them completely non-useable, and often it's some of the people who could most benefit. I ha

There's probably a really interesting, bit potentially controversial topic to be discussed here. As a Non-Indian, I'm quite aware/familiar with this kind of culture you speak of within Indian culture in the workplace and, to

I get your point, but using the best-sellers list as a proving point isn't exactly a slam-dunk. What's that saying? "Nobody ever went broke overestimating the poor taste of the average person"

IMO we've had the EXACT same economic system since we were living in caves, it's called "supply and demand". What do you do when "demand" for human labour drops to zero and "supply" stays at >8 bil

IMO it seems almost epistemologically impossible that LLM's following anything even resembling the current techniques will ever be able to comfortably out-perform humans at genuinely creative endeavours because they, almost by definiti

He's talking about the economic consequences. AGI in an internet connected world is capitalism end-game. Once you have AGI, labour (both physical and intellectual) becomes redundant, humans have a "value to the system" approa

This may have been a valid response ten years ago, but these days it's absolutely not. The phrase "degrowth" is thrown around ALL the time in environmentalist circles these days, I've seen it printed on posters atleast t

To be clear, I'm NOT advocating for premature abstraction, as a PM I live and die by "rule of three" when making decisions re: "let's just quickly solve this one bespoke need", vs "let's think about t

A lot of this comes down to poor product management. A shitty PM sees problems like "when a guest at a hotel room completed {specific action X}, they want to receive a notification saying {specific message Y}". A half decent PM wi

You'd be surprised actually. Once you factor in network costs, running your own on AWS is only ~50% cheaper than paying for SaaS. Factor in the opportunity cost you pay by having to have a person manage a self-hosted CI/CD cluster

As the person who runs one of the largest cloud CI/CD services around, I can tell you exactly how they're making money... Actions. GitHub would be making a VERY healthy margin on every minute of build time run on their platform, e
