I agree insofar as this may fall on deaf ears of AI folks, but that the goals are differ is exactly the point of pointing out misalignment. To talk about this may be more useful for coalescing professional societies…
Even the name "work louder" seems to encourage some sort of post-literacy future; I find it off-putting.
Seems like this post might have put them out of stock.
It was fun to guess these without being familiar. I sort of guessed based on vague knowledge of age and name familiarity. Maybe I was lucky.
Suffering from executive dysfunction obviates that there is no free will, and it's as if good health is simply having that illusion work out harmoniously.
I think you make a good point that much of what we call thinking is really discourse either with another ^[0], with media, or with one's own self. These are largely mediated by language, but still there are other forms…
Even if this is a possible factor it most certainly would not be the only cause.
Agreed. I have never heard a scientist use this phrase, but I've heard plenty of left leaning folks use it. As left wing politics absorbs science as it's cause - and not a cause that everyone is for - I fear it actively…
I disagree. You can read a book or listen to a record, watch a dvd, unlimited times, having fairly paid upfront a price for the item. A computer is general purpose and lets you check your email every day, hell even lets…
Profitable for sure, but I'm often half surprised by the lack of competition against subscription-based everything these days.
Without having read into this deeper, it sounds like someone could take an original video which has this code embedded as small fluctuations in luminance over time and edit it or produce a new video, simply applying the…
This comes up in so many threads here... How can we change the culture of subscriptions back to pay once???
I mean, are the phones themselves really making money off ads or are those totally separate companies? I don't disagree that this brings in business, but I don't agree that this is a significant motivator in terms of…
Number one factor for me when buying a phone is how long is it going to last. I mean durability, camera quality, os updates. Will I still want to use/be using it in 5 years? I cannot justify $700 as much as I _really…
This brings personal nostalgia to when I was very young and made an "OS" in PowerPoint using links between slides, animations, and the embedded internet explorer object. Similarly, I'm not sure I see any practical use…
Certainly other field are competitive, but the current AI boom has been ridiculous for a while now. As an outside observer, the competition seems to be for the final money, prestige, or whatever the top papers win,…
To add to that, I agree with the basic sentiment of the article - but it just doesn't seem to be the reflections of an academic. Ending with optimism about AI, to me, makes me think the author believes AI will solve a…
The thesis here is not well elaborated on. Ref [1] for example seems to me to miss more recent progress on our understanding of working memory, and in linguistics, while Chomsky's work is foundational, we have a much…
Generally I agree that this article is throwing vague reference at hormonal processes, but on the other hand I do think that American society's allergy to touch, restriction of all physical closeness to mates only is…
In the way that `ggplot2` tries to abstract those common "high dimensional" graphing components into an intuitive grammar, such that you may in many places be able to guess the sequence of commands correctly, I would…
Out of curiosity, how do you describe your medication making you hyper focus on anything other than work? My psychiatrist has told me that means it's working, yet I feel like it is just a different sort of dysfunction.
Another HN reader confused here. I have no idea what this tool is or what it's for or how it's helpful from your website. I think it's a development and documentation tool of some sort, but even that took a little…
Out of curiosity, are there models for speech synthesis which generate speech parametrically and then refine neurally?
What does an undergraduate union consist of?
