Ah, another example of multiple equilibria! Investment in intelligence and defence spending can lead to entrenched interests which demand continued spending. The famous military-industrial complex. The coordination…
Yeah, that clarifies that you're missing the core idea here. Brett Deveraux is pretty popular here, so maybe you'd like the analogous discussion of high-equilibrium and low-equilibrium ancient economies?…
The piece is actually quite concise, but you're right in the other respect. You definitely didn't read it. Private equity as an explanation is explicitly rejected.
By all means please caveat away! This is HN after all. I was torn between pithyness and qualifying those statements myself. Obviously there's a lot of interesting variation that's not being captured by population means…
I had to look up the concept of a framing definition so I might have gotten these wrong but I would equivalently state: 1. Modern margarine is healthier than butter. 2. Seed oils are generally healthier than animal…
The title is inadvertently correct only because modern margarine is healthier than alternatives such as butter.
Bartz v Anthropic is some good authority on fair use (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.43...). Still, it can't be said to be definitive because the plaintiff's arguments on market harm (with…
I come back to this every so often as well. After so many years of looking at Markov chain outputs that almost looked like they made sense or chatbot systems rewriting your sentence back at you, software which can…
There are birds that go far longer than typical aeroplane flight times without a single flap of their wings either using thermal, ridge, or other sources of lift. Are these flying birds? I've shared thermals with eagles…
Not to mention, when you use a Monte Carlo model, you can easily count the samples which lead to certain outcomes. In their review, they noted that the correlated polling miss in the Midwest was one of the most common…
None of us are your doctors but Naproxen has well-known gastric issues up to ulcers and stomach bleeding which is why it's advised to be taken with food and why it's also often prescribed with a PPI or H2 Antagonist.…
The only caveat is that AES is not necessarily a black box. It's possible there may be hidden structure to take advantage of, but if there is there's no reason to suspect it's one that's amenable to a quantum speedup.…
Sean Duffy is no longer acting administrator of NASA. This proposal was apparently part of a bid to get the support of a coalition of old-space companies and new-space non-SpaceX companies. As part of that strategy he…
Very different in character. The US fair use four factor test (https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/) is really flexible. You don't need to fall into an enumerated exception to infringement to…
'Which you would think is fair use' - I must admit I wouldn't think that. When I consider Indian content creators making use of clips from Indian media organisations I can't really imagine why Indian copyright law fair…
It's 19 June 2020 and I'm reading Gwern's article on GPT3's creative fiction (https://gwern.net/gpt-3#bpes) which points out the poor improvements in character level tasks due to Byte Pair Encoding. People nevertheless…
TFA is based on the ruling which found that Anthropic training on these books was fair use.
As another example you can consider the apparently successful DOTA2 and Starcraft 2 bots. They'd be interesting if they taught us new ideas about the games in the same way that AlphaGo's God move uncovered something new…
Popularly it's been reported by mariners that the whales are asleep. It makes sense, they need to stay on the surface to breathe and there's no evolutionary reason not to sleep there. It's really not that simple though…
I lived on a catamaran around 2000 onwards as a kid. Solar panels were surprisingly widespread, particularly on multis with outboards (and therefore limited ability to make power through alternators). Obviously the $/W…
I read the whole presentation. The physics experiment criticism Guttman makes that I referred to is at page 16/30. Nothing after that engages with QC to the extent that the first half of the presentation did, so I…
I agree! People who predicted QC soon over the last few decades should lose credibility. They were wrong and they were wrong for no good reason. There is a real opportunity cost to focusing on the wrong thing. There are…
Man, some real "Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence" energy here. Seems unnecessary given what I read of Gutmann's history. I get it must be annoying to be someone working in cryptography…
My housemate during our honours year had large portions of his thesis plagarised by the student who took over his work afterwards. We were surprised to discover that of all the lifted sections it was the…
Amusingly he was unwittingly writing about his own future. People still make fun of Silver for Trump's win in 2016 because 538's final prediction of about 30% likelihood for Trump was 'wrong'.
