It is specialization at scale. It’s paying hundreds of thousands of RLHF’ers from every subject and through some dystopian income stream. It’s decent money don’t get me wrong, but you aren’t paid at if a task isn’t completed in time for exa

The perfectly rational actor myth in economics will have Mary doing all sorts of things she doesn’t actually do. Mary just really likes peaches and the whole construct of rational actors is a fictional superstructure. Same with this idea of

It’s the same rehashed idea of the perfectly rational actor in economics.

Are you sure you’re talking about fat and not total calories? The whole premise about Zone 2 running vs Zones 3/4 is you really do burn more grams of fat at the lower Zone per minute. https://cannonbol.com/blog/art

Longer slower running burns more fat because your body isn’t forced to use as much glycogen as faster paced running. I guess the answer for optimizing time is to get a home treadmill if removing the commute to a trail/track will make t

My house and street and surrounding streets still aren’t on Google Maps after a month post closing (new development). It’s on Apple Maps and Uber; Amazon and FedEx deliver. Google Maps feels like I’m constantly in an A B test for how bad it

Ya and this leads to the point that if the simulation is so complex, which I take to mean is so like the real thing, then the near-perfect simulation and the actual thing must be highly similar physically. And digital circuits are not physi

That’s like saying simulating a supernova and a supernova are both extremely hot.

Well if you go that route, a computer simulating digestion has almost no physical features in common with actual digestion of a stomach. The same holds for consciousness and brains and computers. Them saying it’s just instructions is shorth

“The law of non contradiction exists”. Even Aristotle couldn’t “prove it” exists yet logic uses it all the time. I hardly think logic is about what exists but rather a tool, born out of interlocution. https://plato.stanford.edu&#

Yes state schools are. That’s why it’s so competitive as well. $4-$6k at the state school vs $50K+ at private. There’s one state school for my program within 100 miles of me (physical therapy assistant) And a four year program is still 2 ex

Rad tech is like $130k+ per year in the Bay Area. And if you specialize even more. I know one in a hospital in Marin making $150k+. That much pay for a 2 year program is very hard to beat.

One reason is rad tech and similar are all over Tik Tok. Another reason is these people know how to grind, but can’t afford a 4 year program.

Egalitarian? Let me explain healthcare right now. To get into a radiation tech program, there are 260 applicants, almost all with all As, for 20 slots at my local community college. Maybe in the very first instant you’d think it’s merit bas

This is how I feel with AI math proofs. I’m not sure where they’re at now, but a year ago it took so much more time to check if an LLM proof was technically correct even if hard to understand, compared to a well structured human proof. Mayb

I guess I just don’t have the experience or optimism that a harness around an LLM, which can’t make the first, bare deduction on its own, is a good use of compute. I got out of RLHF, including games and puzzles, before agents took off and m

Grammar seems like you’re talking about LLMs specifically. Well, isn’t Sudoku just math? LLMs suck at Sudoku last I checked. When told not to code a solver, its very first deduction was wrong.

Ya that was a very serious situation for you. I knew when my dad was barely able to stand but insisted we hike the 1000ft back up to then get back down it was also serious. But when we got home I read how deadly altitude sickness is.

Because if rigor is all we cared about I’d think we’d spend more time on non-classical math.
