This is a lot of noise around what's clearly not even an order of magnitude to the way to AGI. Here's my AGI test - Can the model make a theory of AGI validation that no human has suggested …

I think they could be called a scam. Having flame retardent in our bedding by law, all so smokers could smoke in bed safely, feels like some sort of regulatory capture to me. They should make flame-re…

EPA safe guidelines are changed all the time often by much more than 1 order of magnitude. E.G. lead has gone from .5ppm being safe (1995) to 20 ppb (2023). If you adopted a life strategy of "o…

I hear a lot of people speculate this, but frankly we don't need a million people repeating this theory. We need a few scientists looking into it, and the rest repeating whatever the scientists c…

So you're saying the US outpaced areas that didn't have vaccine and didn't even take social distancing seriously? Are we controlling for age and health of the population then?

Here's on litmus test -- if it wouldn't be criminal/negligence for one kid to say this to another kid, should it be criminal/negligence for a chatbot to say it? Like on the one han…

I don't think you understand. USA had exponentially higher reported deaths because we tested probably 10 to 100x as much as your average country.

Probably only because we reported it better.

If we had what I described then we wouldn't have fake honey on shelves.

Tests are less useful on features that may be canceled soon. Tests are more valuable on more complex codebases. Local tests (shifting left) is more valuable when deploying is hard/infrequent and …

I think the FDA should build towards mass food analysis. To sell something en masse you should have to put down a deposit, and the FDA should do an annual analysis of your food (via mass spectometry) …

Curios if anybody can explain what a 2:4 sparsity pattern is. Are the 2 to be removed picked randomly?

Really? It seems obvious to me. During the learning stage we want input from every variable so that we are sure that we don't omit a variable that turns out to be essential for the calculation. H…

I like this idea. I think we can dismiss the most literal/extreme interpretation of this (as most commenters seem to be doing), but when I look at most of us I find we are more likely to forecast…

> You don't PIP a lower performing staff unless they're completely useless or toxic Maybe this is part of the problem -- that it's called one thing (a plan to improve performance) bu…

I'm having trouble understanding all the upvotes for a wall of buzzwords from across-fields. Would love to understand what this even is in plain english if somebody has the time.

and interestingly they say they share their data, but after looking through the data I don't see what I'm looking for, which is closest-approximate words for each celebrity.

We are using EKS > I can't see how it can take 4 months to figure it out. Well have you ever tried moving a company with a dozen services onto kubernetes piece-by-piece, with zero downtime? Ho…

For what it's worth, I've worked at multiple places that ran shell scripts just fine for their deploys. - One had only 2 services [php] and ran over 1 billion requests a day. Deploy was triv…

The interesting thing in my mind is how dysfunctional I've found reporting chains' behavior (to the company). I've found the same thing others here have found -- certain cultural backgr…

Well there are two appropriate action-- Jail time to the CEO of that compary for fraud (because it wasn't FDIC insured) or full reimbursement of all creditors. I'm okay with either, but if n…

I came here to write the same thing. Getting an estimate accurate for at least 5 digits on all netflix video watches worldwide can all be done with intelligent sampling (like hyperloglog) and likely o…
