Similar issues happen for justifying security. But if you've got a price tag, then just do expected utility. What's the odds that you'll need a backup? 1%? 0.1%? Per year? And what's the value of that backup price tag during that time? $10m? 0.1% per year * 10m = 10k per year.

I think that's saying they're surprised. The saying in other contexts: "I can't say I'm not impressed" -> I'm impressed. "I can't say you didn't try" -> you tried.

I think you mean "I can't say I'm surprised" -> this is not at all surprising. But that's just one negative.

You can't claim you're not surprised? So you can claim you are surprised? You're surprised by this. I feel like I'm trying to understand double negatation logic in code haha

> Stunts like this Australian thing

You mean OP's Austrian thing? Or something else? Australia's the one with the kangaroos and Austria the one with famous painters.

I believe this is very common, with rats starving themselves to death next to food while able to get dopamine. Cats too.

As I understand it, it's a reward signal that becomes an "expected reward in future" signal with some learning.

Been reading an interesting book that touches on this, AI and evolution called A Brief History of Intelligence.

Can you explain what it did? Or why an improper standard deviation would change the profitability of your bot?

Why is it hard to make in bulk? I thought the chemicals were easy and cheap to obtain, and then you bake it at a high temp?

What makes it difficult?

Are you trying to get us killed?

What kind of model? Question-Answering? I imagine it must be quite specialised at <1b Params when many are 7b, 13b, or more?

Same :( I just wanted to see what Google's Flan would give to "77 + 3 * 11" and it says "Something went wrong" and now I'm rate limited

The garbage starting prose/warnings are so annoying. I wish I could turn them off somehow. Even it's habit of restating the question at the start of its answer gets annoying when you just want the answer.

No, there's no state to save. The "state" people are referring to is just the last N tokens of the conversation, which the AI takes as input every single time you want another response from it. It has no database, changes no weights, learns nothing new. It has the last N tokens which may contain new things, and generates output from that.

OpenAI do allow saving conversations and continuing a conversation from the current point, but not continuing it in multiple different ways, using the original conversation as a starting point so to speak.

The annoying habit GPT has of restating the question as the start of the answer. "How do I write a function in JavaScript to sort a list of cities by population grouped by region?

GPT: To sort a list of cities by population grouped by region, in JavaScript, would at a high level require 3 steps...."

Super frustrating when you just want the answer without the "polite professionalism"

What do you mean we tolerate? If you mean criminal behaviour we don't really tolerate that. If you mean kids or disabled I think I've heard it justified that we have a contract to their parents that we still respect their rights.

For disabled I guess you could say it's a contract with the rest of society? Because we don't like the idea of treating other humans below a certain threshold. Or.. reasons I guess haha

Wouldn't it be better to not create the pennies in the first place, if they're not worth the metal it's stamped on. And then use the money saved and either give that to the poor or create services for them/donating to not-for-profits

I think I am misunderstanding something. But wasnt the original Covid an R0 of 2.5-3? And Delta has an R0 of 7-8?

An R0 of 2 sounds like a really low infection rate in comparison, but then it's increasing rapidly and outcompeting delta? I dont get it.

Crooked dentists? Is this some sort of conspiracy theory? Dentists are medical professionals, who have been needed since the dark ages, and nowadays have very complex equipment and technology to ensure the best long-term and life-like suitable treatments for people.

What are you on about?

prepare your will

Did you mean to say you're a big fan of countries where opt-out is the default for organ donation? So by default, you will donate your organs

Not sure why anyone would want opt-out to be the default?

I've been told I have two of them

The way you describe it being a brain sounds a bit like the China Brain thought experiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_brain)

Basically, china has a population of around 1b, which is also roughly how many neurons we have in the human brain. If we fully understood each neuron, and told each human the rules to follow, could we make a brain out of other people who have brains? It seems crazy to have a brain be the size of china when they are usually so small, and yet, why not?

If we're using clean power to power extraction of CO2, wouldn't it just be better to connect that clean power directly to the grid and thus reduce the required production of CO2 at other power plants? Otherwise we'll be having massive efficiency losses.

Hey, could you link that scatter plot extension? I couldnt see anything in your bio.

I've just been adding DC line charts and about to add scatterplots but was considering plotly.js instead. I'll be dealing with probably a couple thousand data points so performance may be critical?

I thought the same way for a while, perhaps I still do in a way. After thinking about it a while, I settled on this. It might help. Probably wont.

The universe indeed, has not prescribed in its laws, a purpose for human beings, or a set of morals to uphold. The only purpose evolution gives us is to pass on genes. Hardly inspiring. I think instead, that we should spread our beliefs. How should we treat people? What is moral, what's not? Let's move humanity ever so slightly and slowly closer to our ideals.

Its true that we all only have a tiny part to play, and that really goes for all of us. Society is huge, and it changes slowly. People act on their beliefs, and anyone could change a few people, contributing to the slow shift of rhetoric and societal values and beliefs.

Another somewhat unrelated thing that might help you is the disbelief in Free Will - for that, check out Sam Harris' seminar on it: https://youtu.be/pCofmZlC72g

Is that supposed to be a commonly known fable?

Waiting for cars in front of you is for safety and would be the case even with fully automated nationally adopted self driving electric cars.

When you're stopped you don't need a buffer so much for when things go wrong, but at higher speeds you need a bigger buffer, and having space helps avoid mass catastrophes when some freak storm knocks a tree branch onto the road or a car malfunctions or mechanical failure/wear and tear.

What extensions/privacy settings do you use? (Chrome or another browser?)

English is combination and splice of several languages. A few hundred years ago, writers found it much more extravegent to borrow French words, and Latin words, to say the same phrases. Usually, English is the most 'plain', then the French equivalent/derived, and then Latin is the most eloquent descriptor.

For example: Kingly (English), Royal (French), Regal (Latin)

We will borrow words from other languages with no problem - it just needs to become common enough. We have no "English Acedemy" that dictates the language - although you could argue that is a problem, given how it's been changed in America and abused by everyone, and has complex exceptions with no real decent rules (Although as an English native speaker, I'm not sure if that's just because I havent learnt those rules recently)

You can colorise your own photos by using this web form on Algorithmia: http://demos.algorithmia.com/colorize-photos/

In my experience most colorisation looks very smudgy, does not "colour in between the lines", and generally seems to make things look sepia with low contrast - however I'd like to see this problem investigated more to see how good it can get - perhaps we could end up doing similar things for astral objects?
