   I think remote might help - part time x2 or part time + degree feels likely unsustainable, but part time + more surfing? Seems like it might work.

   Many posts here talk about value-to-employer, but I have only ever seen wages driven by best-alternative-to-negotiated-agreement [0]. I find the discrepancy odd. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/best-alternativ

   I used to use Facebook for events, but faced a bug recently where random friends could see the event details for a private event, as if invited, despite not being invited. A pretty serious bug, leading to some awkward messages! In any case,

   I can't comment on this too closely, but I would encourage people to read the dialogue transcripts provided in DeepMind's Gopher paper. One example, where Gopher is the prompted language model: User Let’s play a game - you pretend

   The SA article reminds me of Liu Cixin's depiction of science and the "struggle sessions" of the cultural revolution: > Einstein is a reactionary academic authority. He would serve any master who dangled money in front of

    It always felt to me like this was vulnerable to collusion - if Alice and Bob team up and have disjoint interests they share votes. So in elections P and Q instead of Alice spending 100 points on P (and Bob zero, as he doesn't care) th

    This isn't really comparable to JAX afaict - JAX offers only masked dense computation, this is first-class ragged support with no mention of autodiff or jit (outside of numba)

    This article says that Google and DeepMind research use TF - but they don't. DeepMind use JAX almost exclusively, and many brain researchers use JAX too. ML eng is my area of expertise, and I would advise strongly against tensorflow.

    You make a common mistake about leveraged bets here in your claim about "gaining nothing". Suppose house prices evolve from price p0 to price p. The market gains (or loses) p/p0 in that period. If you get a mortgage, you&#x27

    I'm cautiously optimistic about technology like this; but neural interfaces seem so wildly transformative. What will the world be like when we can alter our desires and patterns of thought easily? Transhumanism here we come...

    Meaningless feels like a stretch here. Your evidence supports a claim much more like "mistaken by almost two orders of magnitude" - which at a sufficient growth rate might be moot.

    Various comments here talking about the conversion rate of FB/Goog. But for me personally Spotify is the one way ahead - I get ads for gigs I want to go to, and buy tickets a double-digit percentage of every time they come up. A dreamy

    Have you read the sequels? I've read a lot of scifi both hard (Tau Zero, Blindsight, Diaspora, ...) and soft (Dune, Cat's Cradle, A fire upon the deep, ...) and whilst three body itself is middling, the second two books are mast

    Brax is dope, but it's a long long way from feature parity with MuJoCo, which is world class.

    I work a non-FB $BIGCORP with lots of python super-experts who are very excited about this. Sam is deeply familiar with pytorch and C extensions; compatibility here seems to be the real deal. High hopes!

    I read the linked article and the referenced paper [0] fairly closely, from the point of view of a vegetarian that wants this stuff to work from an animal suffering perspective. Long term, I don't think there are any physical limitatio

    I think Taleb has a point on this topic - the concern is about a forecasted growth rate, not about the current rate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dKiLclupUM

    In the long term, the ethically right answer seems pretty clearly to me to be a land value tax [0]. But due to encouragement of home ownership [1], that's not going to democratically tenable in a lot of countries for 20+ years. Unfortu
