Concrete benchmarks like these are very valuable.

Defining the reward function, which is basically what ARC is doing, is 50% of the problem solving process.

Congrats on the acquisition!

Oh I see. So you technically could have placed the laptop where the phone was to get a connection, but it was in an awkward location so placing the phone there instead and setting up a hotspot was better.

> set up a repeater by hanging an old phone over my curtains so it could catch Wifi from the cafe across and connected to the phone's internet over bluetooth.

I had no idea this was possible. Can you explain why this works? Sounds fascinating.

Everyone uses Chrome basically for crypto extensions anecdotally. They did a good job there.

All developers I know build pretty much exclusively on Chrome desktop wise.

Gathering the necessary training data for embodied models is going to be a real doozy. Hard to scale, unless you figure out how to make a perfect simulator or possibly collect data in a decentralized manner...?

It did indeed! At the very least through ARM and now Apple.

Hey Sam, sent you an email for the PM role. If you’re in the Bay Area would love to grab coffee!

Cool! This is helpful. Shared with a few friends.

In the realm of autonomous vehicles, early sensor fusion systems relied heavily on the usage of Kalman Filters for perception.

The state of the art has now been supplanted by large deep learning models in the present day, primarily relying on end-to-end trained Transformer networks.

This may be familiar to you in the context of LLMs which have recently become popular, but they were actually first successfully utilized in autonomous vehicles (invented by researchers at Google and implemented in production at Waymo almost immediately).

Soon it will be a different name under a different symbol.

You cannot break the cycle of hatred with more hatred and violence.

Neurowarfare is the next frontier (*we’ve reached a ceiling in the realm of kinetic weaponry imo).

But the only reliable defense for that is gaining enlightenment, which is both very difficult to scale and somewhat ironic given the context.

The state of the art in cancer treatment currently is personalized immunotherapies spearheaded by companies like BioNTech, etc.

Cancer should be viewed from a system wide perspective in my opinion rather than a location specific disease.

If you really want to get into biohacker territory, figure out how to sequence the tumor’s mutanome distribution and then generate a mRNA vaccine encoding the unique antigen markers of the tumor.

That’s basically what these biotech companies are doing[0]. If you need pointers on where to begin your research, BNT122 is a good place to start.

Good luck. Depending on how much money your friend has, you might be able to make something happen. Consider contacting biotech companies directly.

If you’re wondering why you still feel unsatisfied even after having gotten everything you’ve ever wanted and achieved everything you set out to do, consider reading about the story of Siddartha Gautama and his journey of discovery.

The answers you’ve been looking for are there.

This is incredibly sad, Suchir went to my high school and we both went to Berkeley together. He was clearly very intelligent, and I was always sure he'd go on to be very successful / do interesting things.

If you're struggling reading this, I want to say that you're not alone. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, the world truly wants you to be happy.

If AMD can come back from the brink of bankruptcy, then Intel can too. I believe.

[Edit]: Though it might have to be that Intel literally has to come to the brink of bankruptcy in order for that comeback to happen.

Never understood why the government seems to have such a hard-on against Google.

Somehow, Apple / Microsoft / Amazon / … skate by without getting the same beat-down.

We should steer clear of modifying DNA directly until our understanding of biology is much much better.

For now, I think targeting RNA as an intermediate solution is the right approach.

Current SOTA (state of the art) treatment for cancer is:

Sequence patient's tumor mutanome distribution, create personalized therapy encoding the top N neoantigens

+

Anti-PDL1 checkpoint inhibitor

+

mRNA encoded albumin-IL2

Don't let this make you shy away from the idea of investing though! Remember that fiat currency as a general concept ensures that your base unit of value is constantly depreciating.

Even if there was zero growth in the overall economy, because of how we've structured our financial system, asset prices as a whole will always go up because they are pegged to a depreciating unit of value.

If you're interested in figuring out how to gain focus / concentration in life without having to get an adderall prescription, look into Samādhi.

small disclaimer: You probably can't choose to only gain focus / concentration if you embark on this path. Other stuff is going to come along with it, since technically speaking, you'll be unveiling the nature of consciousness in the process.

My bad guys, didn’t mean to be negative in my original post.

Definitely lacking in compassion. Whether it be obesity or anorexia, these are almost always symptoms of something deeper underlying. I shouldn’t be so flippant.

I think I still have to stand by my belief that semaglutide won’t truly solve people’s relationship with food though. That requires going deeper than the temporary solution drugs might provide.

I would state it in a kinder way maybe, but at the end of the day that's basically what you have to do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why not just lose weight by eating less? I know that sounds like a dumb question.

But genuinely, aren’t you just paying money to… not spend the money on food instead?

Who else just found out Cobalt exists from this post? Wow, this is lit.

Connectomes are like a static graph of a neural network.

But it's the flow of information as signals pass through nodes where everything actually happens.
