Sounds like someone was cruel to you at one point. The parent likely means the opposite of what you're suggesting.

Most people consider mathematical intuition something that only develops from deep study. What the parent is referring to is being able to anticipate how a system will behave before you actually do the calculation.

Most people who use mathematics in an industry job rely on their intuition rather than rigorous proofs. And most industry mathematicians will acknowledge that they're not as rigorous, nor as academically gifted, as their friends who stayed in academia.

Just like a programmer with 20 years of experience can look at a bug and anticipate the cause.

You understand that the US has alienated almost all of its trading partners and is aggressively attempting to kill free global trade, right?

Whereas China is developing a powerful network of rapidly developing trading partners like Africa and the Middle East?

Uh, in the housing that they build? The amount of housing we can build with cheap immigrant labor is so much more than what we can do without them. Housing gets more expensive when immigrants are pushed out, because the cost to build rises more than the reduced demand reduces prices.

Schmidhuber rarely ever executed the idea correctly, which makes his claims particularly obnoxious.

Please stop using this stuff. It's snake oil.

Nope. Sorry. Not how this works.

From a certain point of view ICBMs are a method of communicating.

I don't know why everyone assumes RSI will be quadratic or exponential growth.

It might well be sublinear, but just faster than humans.

Most problems in science face severe diminishing returns.

The study was done by one of the most respected and independent groups out there (insurance companies have a very high incentive to know what's real here). Waymo provided the data and probably helped pay for it.

Point of fact: we do not treat vehicular homicide seriously in the American legal system.

OpenAI?

As Stephen Miller loves to remind us, we had the first net emigration in decades this year. They're rounding up legal immigrants and putting them in concentration camps where they're dying because they're being denied medical care.

The US government is labeling anyone who says they're "anti fascist" as terrorists, and shut down a major Italian private email provider using that rationale.

That's nonsense. It's imparted us with incredible prosperity and peace. The US is a much poorer and worse nation due to you and your kind destroying what we built.

To my understanding gemma is shipped with waymo, in a highly modified fashion.

I'm skeptical, tho. Cost will push for right sizing, much like we have right sized a lot of things about modern cars.

Is there a local makerspace? They often will have free nights where you can pick up some knowledge with direct supervision. Having someone else watch you is incredibly helpful.

I really can't find any other possible interpretation of their wall to wall decisions on anything election related. They are a knowing and enthusiastic participant in the coup.

Are you saying that senior military leadership has earned the right to a little light graft?

Psychology is so much more complex and varied in its manifestations and etiologies than you're suggesting here.

I'm glad that you found a framework that helped you with your experiences, but it's very important that you understand that many other people had deeply different experiences than you did for very different reasons. Suggesting a single cause of suicidality as due to stress is profoundly irresponsible, and enforcing that framework on other people could quite literally kill them.

I agree with you that the author of the article is wildly off base, but so are you. Suggesting she needs to "hit the books" and then describing your personal journey as universal is a particular study in not taking your own advice.

I'm skeptical that the federal government can be saved. I suspect we will experience a process of balkanization.

The goal is to encourage users to move to the next generation. The fewer models they serve, the less excess capacity they need to provision.

Serving more models also adds a significant ops burden on the SREs and trust& safety teams.

A month is not enough time for any meaningful change in an organization the size of Deepmind/Google. These models were surely the result of work streams and teams that started under Demis. I think Demis can safely feel proud Deepmind is getting back on track.

Even if we hit carbon neutral tomorrow it's too late.

Like "price fixing". Landlords illegally colluding to artificially inflate the price of housing.

Do car dealerships next...

Have you considered that people actually have ethical beliefs and you're the one that is weird?

I really don't want to support a man who has killed so many people and advocates so aggressively for white supremacy and the elimination of trans people.

You are going to have a rude awakening if you get a bit unlucky.

Conviction rate only measures cases brought to trial. The overwhelming fraction of cases do not go to trial.

> A stochastic search process with an executable optimization objective over space of programs S can only maintain or improve the objective

Reasons this doesn't follow: (1) Benchmarks never match real world use, and many optimizations the improve benchmarks degrade cases that aren't measured (think about how CPU cache behavior can be surprising) (2) In software performance optimization, frequently there is significant noise, from many sources. This makes it difficult to guarantee that a measured change is actually an improvement.
