"To selflessly further the total sum of knowledge?" Yes. I think you are saying this sarcastically but I'm not sure... This is why you should get involved in research at the frontier. "What field? Who’s leaving?" Ma

Good? Those people were in the field for the wrong reasons. No reason to mourn them leaving

This seems like an unserious experiment from the premise, but it could be interesting. But has this effect been replicated?

I mean there were problems with the "old way" as well. Not clear if this change is net positive or negative in my opinion.

The difference is that white collar as a class gleefully aided outsourcing/automating blue collar jobs with the exact same economic argument

Automation is only good if you're putting blue collar people out of work! White-collar is out of bounds! People should do the work where they add unique value

Is the purpose of a system really what it does though? Obviously there are side effects and tradeoffs in any complex system. Is the purpose of a vaccine to make you sick - no, but that is a side effect of some vaccines on some people. If

Obviously I mean the definition of evil implied by your statement that they are indefensibly evil... Again, what level of copyright violation is evil? Downloading music without paying for it? Apparently using images/text that artists h

This is a very close minded definition of evil. What is the threshold of environmental impact before something is evil and its use indefensible? What level of copyright violation will send us to hell?

There's definitely going to be cheap or open source models

For those of us who care about the answers to these questions, rather than who gets credit for doing it, we will welcome any faster means of solving these problems.

Asymptotic Safety also predicted the higgs mass (126 GeV vs the measured value of 125 GeV). https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.0208 The trick is, at that time most of the possible mass range was excluded experimentally, so it

I unironically agree, p-hacking should be a criminal offense.

Interestingly, there is some neuroscience research that transformer architecture resembles "cue based retrieval" in the human brain in some important ways. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pi

As we all know, global warming wasn't happening until AI data centers started being built. They are honestly a drop in the bucket

I find this kind of reduction silly. All your brain is doing is bouncing atoms off each other, with some occasionally sticking together, how can it be really thinking? See how silly it sounds?

just replace "money" with "prestige" and I think the above comment works just fine

My point is if the people in the study were not randomly selected, there are any number of confounding factors that could influence why their anxiety changed.

I don't know that, which is why I said "maybe." Facebook does not typically do academic level research - they do quick studies to verify product direction. From what I have seen, the actual academic studies on this are mixed.

"But internal study found users who stopped using Facebook and Instagram for a week showed lower rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness." This isn't causal though. The users who quit were not randomly selected. Maybe th

Are you saying I was incorrect for feeling that way? The reason is that you no longer really know what's going on. (And yes, that feeling would be the same if C++ had as rich a library of packages as python for numerical analysis.) If

I felt the same way about python when I was switching from C++ to python for data analysis

These points make it easy to remember for me, adding ~5C for 10 F. 40 F = 4 C (forty is four) 50 F = 10 C 60 F = 16 C (sixty is sixteen)

What other states have had non-competes similar to California? North Dakota and Oklahoma. It's possible that other factors might be more important in driving California's economic success...

This response is a bit less than helpful. Could you provide an example of a metric from this diverse set that fits what the OP is asking for? I feel like there are at least two use cases from their post: * a metric that measures if people&#

My point is every invention has pros and cons, and tends to displace people who were very tied to the previous way.
