It's funny because I was just starting my job-search today and, at the top of HackerNews, there was this article that seems to suggest that prospective employers look for applicants like me. I wonder what sort of…
How could someone find a recruiter like the author? I mean, I'm just starting a job-search and the top HackerNews story's about how prospective employers ought to be looking for applications like mine! I'd love to talk…
So you'd see applicants like those that the article describes as being very desirable?
It's difficult for me to appreciate how works in such fields might be "intellectual". I feel like they're doing LLM-like opinion-pieces and acting as though the results are deeply meaningful. But the mechanics and…
Seems inevitable enough that we may have to accept it and try to work within the context of (what we'd tend to think of today as) mass-spying. I mean, even if we pass laws to offer more protections, as computation gets…
Title looks like misinformation. Sub-title says something different (and more plausible). Title: "Meta will enforce ban on AI-powered political ads in every nation, no exceptions". Sub-title: "With several nations…
What makes some folks so attached to particular browsers? Personally, I'm using a mix of Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. While in theory I could just use one of them (which would probably be Firefox), it's kinda like having…
The IPCC's reports might be a good starting-point. ["Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change"](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-g... ) appears to be the most recent specifically on…
> From what I know, carbon capture over a field is not exactly a solved problem. Doesn't appear to be capture-capture over a field. Instead: > Navigator’s project would have laid pipelines across five US states—South…
Yeah, the idea to use random-selection instead of keeping track of generation-history seems reasonable. The idea of guardrails from perfect-balancing seems less obvious to me. For example, say someone wants to generate…
> (Is there some kind of universal law that you're citing, that claims that it's impossible to build a useful, unbiased system?) Usually it'd be a trade-off, where you'd give up some quality at doing the main job to…
The comment I'd responded to seemed to have thought that StableDiffusion picked what the sex of a person would be according to some internal odds that could be modified. My point was that it doesn't actually think like…
> Wouldn’t something like isMale*P(male=.66) work fine? It doesn't think like that. If it did, they could've just done `P(hasFiveFingersPerHand)=0.99999`. But it doesn't even necessarily draw what you ask it to.…
> For example, Carrefour said a bottle of sugar-free peach-flavoured Lipton iced tea, produced by PepsiCo, shrank to 1.25 litres (0.33 gallon) from 1.5 litres, resulting in a 40% effective increase in the price a litre.…
Just skimmed it quickly, but from [their paper](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.200566 ): > Participants were recruited through a number of mailing lists, Twitter and blog posts. [...] For all…
[This PDF](http://media.wix.com/ugd/bbfb8a_2ea66bffc09b40d099237bb83813... ) appears to provide information about their methodology -- noting it was linked from [this…
I'm not even sure what they mean by: > MnO: 2.109 (Mn: 0.6355) I mean, given that they were listing relative-abundances (by mass, count, or what?), it'd seem like they were giving the abundance of Mn alone, as a subset…
That study doesn't claim causation.
Yeah, looks like you're right: [waste-heat recovery systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit ). Guessing that there are two main scenarios there: 1. A leaky house where positive-pressure causes…
Have you explored the effects of a localized positive-pressure system? Like, say the positive-pressure system has a duct that pumps outside-air directly to locations where a resident spends a lot of them time -- like…
Seems like the big drawback of the positive-pressure approach would be flushing the heating/cooling out, too (as you've said in the article). That drawback would seem to be proportional the flowrate of the…
> why use multiple 1" thick filters to build a box, when you could just use 1x 4" filter. Probably uncertainty over how effective fans are when immediately obstructed, and maybe concerns about particles possibly getting…
I guess that they're currently focused on trying to raise awareness?
Got it: ["Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superintelligence:_Paths,_Dang... ), by Nick Bostrom (2014). Guess I saw the title, "Superintelligence: An idea that eats smart…
What was the overall point of the talk? I get the sense that the talk was meant as a rebuttal to something, but I'm not exactly sure what. Some of the points come off as disconnected.
