eh, there are plenty of AI researchers on there. Also a handy "AI haters" labeler you can subscribe to to filter out people who just want to yell. The labeler thing is cool; I really like ATproto because you can do…
It really is. Inspired me to be a biologist.
>The only way to break the system is to overload it until it doesn't work, so I can only hope for this. This is a joke, right?
This feels like a retcon of OpenAI. Their vision from back then is unrecognizable because they had to completely pivot after they saw the value of transformers. They kicked off the LLM arms race in 2022 because they…
i completely agree with this. it's a very cool idea and also i hope nobody uses it in actual writing
The question is about how much permanent damage the administration will have done by 2029. They're obviously trying very hard to kill academia in this country, and the answer is not going to be zero, but I don't…
Bought my wife a pair of Klein bottle earrings. They arrived with pictures Cliff had taken of them in his garden. Lovely man.
I would think that repeatedly having to launch millions of pounds of infrastructure into low earth orbit counts as extra build-out cost. This is a literal physical constraint keeping this business from scaling like…
Yeah I'm sorry massive infrastructure projects with mandates to properly map access and measures to prevent fraud don't fit neatly into a four year presidential term before being effectively yanked away.
This is an absurdly irresponsible way to report this work. Doesn't think to mention that they're working with phage (viruses that infect bacteria, NOT humans) until halfway down the story.
Are you saying that the priorities of the Department of Education have been misplaced, or that it was a mistake to have a Department of Education at all? "Academic accomplishment has not advanced at all" feels like…
Yes, but the HN crowd isn't Zitron's main audience. He appeals to smart people who don't understand anything about computing or business. I do not mean this in a disparaging way; it's a curious audience that has…
This is exactly how I feel about him too. I also find his "number big" approach to writing ("check out my 18,000 word blog about something I'm learning about in real time") off-putting, so I've completely stopped…
This is a really strange, deterministic view on something we collectively have influence over. That thing about "unintended consequences that [may be] materially worse?" We've actually just quietly folded the materially…
>We need to identify the highest quality research projects and fund those. Congratulations, you have described the system that's been in place for decades.
Very cool. Are you a dancer yourself?
"YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: I have now joined the club everyone assumed I was already a member of."
This is not an original observation, but it took me too long to realize so I think it bears repeating: your personal website is also the one place where you have control over how much to write, how it looks to the…
You might want to look into why "journalism is dying" and whether Google (and Facebook) had anything to do with it.
About time. Any organization or person actively posting on that platform is just lending it undue credibility.
I must have missed this drama. Who was offended by it? When was Gary "cancelled?"
This is an awesome writeup that really helped me understand what's going on under the hood. I didn't know, for example, that for the limited number of PTMs AF3 can handle it has to treat every single atom, including…
It's true that Science is very invested in this bad (for everyone else) publishing model, and I suppose if somehow, by omission, they managed to convince the population that open access is inherently scammy, that's all…
This topic has broken the brains of so many otherwise reasonable people. Is a lab leak possible? Of course it is. But the purported evidence for it is so weak, repeated by the same cranks who seem to have made up their…
