It's not something you need to worry about. If we get the Singularity, it's overwhelmingly likely Jesus will return concurrently.

I have only a resume to convince them. I have job experience at major companies, with examples of what I've built when there, personal projects I've made, a github link, a great GPA from a good school. And I know similar Junior-mi

Garry Marcus constantly repeats the line that "deep learning has hit a wall!1!" - he was saying this pre-ChatGPT even! It's very easy to dunk on him for this. That said, his willingness to push back against orthodoxy means he

Do we have different definitions of "marginally qualified"? Idk, I feel I'm a decent engineer - I can certainly do whatever leetcode medium they throw at me, as much as this counts of anything - and can actually code, but I s

Yup. You can check out of FAANG anytime you like, but you can never leave. Was path dependency for careers always this bad?

Use another AI, of course! Idk if I'm even being sarcastic here.

Other than fast factorization and linear search, is there anything that Quantum Computing can do? Those do seem important, but limited in scope - is this a solution in search of a problem? I've heard it could get us very accurate high-

Wait so this tech just...doesn't work yet? Like at all?

I agree. The problem now seems to be agency and very long context (which is required for most problems in the real world). Is that solvable? who knows?

Gary Marcus is cringe and wrong, but it's good to listen to folks who are cringe and wrong, because very occasionally, their willingness to be cringe means they're not wrong about something everyone thinks is true.

It's just a really really good markdown editor. With some great power user features. Not sure what else to say!

Time and effort does not a substantial point make. The post was so shockingly hyperbolic I'm surprised they didn't mention the Chinese were also sapping and impurifying our precious bodily fluids. What should I even say? It was a

I enjoy seeing HN independently rederive much of NRX thought via this situation. In unrelated news, anyone see that NYT interview with Yarvin yesterday?

The argument to ban TikTok is for trade reciprocity reasons. Reels and Youtube Shorts are banned there, so we should ban TikTok here. Just like how if Germany banned Fords and Chevys from being sold, we should similarly ban VWs and Audis. T

Banning a media platform in America used by most Americans is controversial? Say it ain't so!

They will soon! Lmao these people are rubes. It's like every other bs "national security" argument. Expect Yandex, VK, RT, Sputnik, SCMP, etc. to be banned as well under similar pretenses. "Comrades! We can not let these

Humans are not singular organisms, we're a colony species. We are evolved for (and thrive in) social groups. These social groups are not just voluntary associations, but are deeply rooted traditions - whether that's based in famil

So true. There's also the imminent return of Jesus Christ and the subsequent rapture to worry about. Kids have so much on their plate these days...

I deny a drinking age is necessary. From what it sounds like, the kids should be out there drinking more!

If he was willing to work with the rules and norms of the markets they want to enter, they'd sell even fewer cars. If they had to deal with the same regulations and IP laws as China, they'd sell more.

He is right, technofeudalism is the future. However, I think this will end up be being seen as a good thing, and history will ultimately look back at the transition as being as obviously good as Monarchy -> Democracy.

So this should be it for trying to regulate stable diffusion type tech, right? If these models and their inference infra can be shrunk down to be runnable on a PS2, it doesn't seem like it's possible to stop this tech without a to
