Just a couple days ago I argued with an HN poster who quipped that biology is stamp collecting. A non-negligible number of "mathy" engineer types (not actual mathematicians, those usually understand the complexity of…
Meh, you can ask another LLM like GPT5.5 to unwind it into accessible language and it works it out fine. Seems more like a case of token greed from Anthropic
"Co-author" lol we both know what that means. Still, if that's true that makes it even sadder. Hope you mature and broaden your horizons at some point instead of engaging in undergrad-style petty field rivalries
So you think biology is just proteomics and use meme expressions like 'meat bag', got it. Not updating my prior on you being unserious
The commenter was talking about biology and you are talking about physics. Just because your view of one field stagnates doesn't mean the rest of science doesn't, and your quip about stamp collecting (referring to that…
No
A large contingent of the top AI people is French, the Mistral founders worked at Meta and Google before coming back to France. The real issue is capital, French salaries are shit
Europeans are risk averse and don't have access to that many deep pocketed risk-taking VCs. On top of that the US is poaching all the talent since most EU firms won't or can't match the salaries offered in the US to AI…
The key part is like other species and human societies do not tolerate impulsive violence in adults. All societies have rules, customs and/or arbitrage methods to regulate violence and the vast majority of people…
Moving goalposts. Android is Linux (the GNU part of GNU/Linux is trivial to add), people use Linux knowingly or not, and Linux is on the most devices on Earth regardless of whether their users know it or not.
European elites as in a couple media figures and fellow extremely online people that professional internet opinion havers like him have convinced themselves control the world narrative. In reality AC is very common in…
It's just a meme but too-online professional opinion-havers memed themselves into taking it seriously. Many such cases unfortunately
It's a touchy subject because scientists are afraid of looking like cranks. Just like cognition in other nonhuman species was historically dismissed because no one wants to be seen as someone who think plants talk to…
A necessary condition for the emergence of civilization (in its broadest sense, as in the collectively organized reshaping of one's living environment for one's purposes) is a basic level of trust and cooperation.…
Is this 2006? Linux is present on literal billions of android phones, servers, supercomputers and other embedded devices. It's the most ubiquitous OS on the planet and it's not even close, even Microsoft contributes to…
So, literally the ending of Her (2014)?
