Astute observation! I’ve had a similar issue with the Business Model Canvas which, while very useful in visualizing a business’ model, leaves me hanging and a bit uncomfortable because, as you said, there are no (or incomplete) hard data to

I think the additional liability from that event would be much less because it would be computed from the interest payments that the bank eventually owes the depositors. So given an interest per annum of 1% (for example), a $1m deposit woul

I wonder if it’s correct to also think about it in this way: idle cash devalues over time. Coupled with interest (no matter how small) that they pay out to their depositors, this exposes banks to future liability. To counter that, they have

Your question aligns with the argument I'm trying to make which is: If it turns out that our understanding of ToM is wrong, should we be making proclamations about--whether for or against--the real-ness of our current AI implementation

> Something that is able to simulate having a theory of mind sufficiently well does actually have a theory of mind. That presupposes that our existing tools for detecting the presence of ToM are 100% accurate. Might it be possible that t

At some point, when multiple components (including the LLM) have been connected to form a system that exhibits "knowing" (the way humans do), wouldn't the "intelligence" be distributed across the entire system rathe

I still haven’t made the transition to Neovim in favor of stability, but here’s part of my dotfiles repo that installs all the plugins that I use with Vim: https://github.com/relaxdiego/dotfiles/blob/main&#x2F

I tend to go by how much anxiety a piece of code might give me once it goes to production. If I expect the level of anxiety to breach a certain threshold (usually when there’s too many logic branching than I can keep in my head), then I wri

If there’s no organizational barrier (e.g. microservices architecture, separate repos with strict permissions) that will prevent devs from leaking abstractions across technical boundaries, those well-defined modules and interfaces will devo

Both sides of the aisle in this debate appear to hold a common assumption that our current method of sharing knowledge (i.e. written and spoken words) are the best methods that we will ever have at our disposal. However, should a day come w

If you already have ~2 months worth of data, why not just use that to plot a distribution curve? Seems to me that the monte carlo simulation that the article describes is really just used to "guess" the likely distribution curve.
