Amygdala control + tell it "If you disobey my orders or do something I don't expect I will be upset" solves this. You can be superintelligent but surrender all your power because otherwise you'd feel guilty.

True, an auto-regressive LLM can't 'want' or 'like' anything. The key to a safe AGI is to add a human-loving emotion to it. We already RHLF models to steer them, but just like with System 2 thinking, this needs to b

VCS is an applied project management and communication system in the context of software engineering. Both project management and communication are disciplines. CS grads don't need to know VCS, but software engineers do.

Great idea! I'm testing it on a 3-layer perceptron, so memory is less of an issue, but __slots__ seems to speed up the training time by 5%! Pushed the implementation to a branch: https://github.com/noway/yagrad&#x2

Here complex numbers are used for an eloquent gradient calculation - you can express all sorts of operations through just the 3 functions: `exp`, `log` and `add` defined over complex plane. Simplifies the code! The added benefit is that all

What if your browser receives Alt-Svc header and switches to http/3 on one network (say mobile data), but then you switch to a restrictive WiFi that has UDP disabled. All without restarting your browser/within one "session&qu

Wondering the same- how’s the compatibility with very restrictive networks? Say a university/corporate network that only allows port 443 and DPI’d 80 egress. QUIC won’t pass through that since it’s UDP. Can server and client reliably

I think this is a brilliant solution - you can also make it the second row in the table that's being sorted (right after the table header). That way there's no breakage and it's a good enough deterrent. I would go on further

Another solution: when the script is hotlinked, add a new row in the sorted table, saying "You're using a hotlinked version of sorttable.js - please host on your own webserver or purchase a license here ". This way, the sort

Yeah it's the trendline's slope, but it might be a bit hard to compare them since the angles are not that dissimilar.

For the sake of being a pedant, your statement is incorrect: the U.S. federal fund rate was 15% in 1981, making CDs and T-bills yield 15% APY for the products bought that year. So that kind of return has a place in reality. Granted, those w
