From -10 to +30. Impressive!

Not sure I would characterize it as lying, but people are notoriously terrible at describing their feelings, what they want, and what they would change about their lives.

Why are people shading the Vikings? Haven’t watched them this season but aren’t they good?

This is such a strange and backwards - but predictable - view.

Astonishing that we have somehow let how we socialize online (which is increasingly the majority of how we socialize) be governed by those who are socially inept.

I don’t necessarily agree with the excerpt, but the evidence is the election results, no?

Being an anti-billionaire party is probably not majoritarian though. Anti-corporation probably is, strangely.

The implications of Canada/Greenland lust are profound. Autocrats eyeing territories of their own will view this as a green light. (“Even the US wants to expand!”) Except they are likely to use military force. Probability of Israeli annexation and Chinese blockade goes up. Chaos abounds.

Targeting Ubers seems to be a far more politically palatable choice though, no? The fees are passed on entirely to wealthy/corporate customers. Certain to reduce traffic. Could be used to reduce the toll for everyone if spread amongst a wider populace?

Eagles D-Line isn’t elite? 🤔

Often times the definition of “power” can feel ambiguous, but I think this is a great illustration of what it actually means. Instead of acting in the best interest of all or most people, companies and governments increasingly act in what they perceive to be the best interest of singular individuals

To be fair, he was as uninterested/incapable of “doing” media as any President in the past century as well (normalizing for whatever dominant medium existed at the time).

I feel like it’s a very bipolar season. I wasn’t expecting to be as interested as I was in the political dynamics at play, but then there are some boring and silly parts. But overall, I will probably watch Season 3, which is saying a lot because I find myself unable to finish tv seasons lately

I enjoyed your philosophical investigation, but I found myself wondering about the anthropological elements even more so: what is the relation to loneliness and boredom? Is content consumption just a desperate attempt at forging human connection in a lonely Western world, no matter how superficial?

Not only is important to try things, it’s important to finish them! The reaction is out of your control, but you can learn a lot for the next one. But we often stop ourselves from the end product before we get that important feedback.

I have a feeling Tyler Warren is even better than he looks, because Drew Allar seems worse than his pedigree. Terrible accuracy, awful spiral. No throwing mechanics. Warren looks like a faster Gronk.

Nick Foles is the ultimate validation of this strategy. Nothing will come close

I didn’t realize OJ did it 14 games! That’s a good point. I think it still proves my point. These records are somewhat arbitrary as long as the length of the season is constantly expanding. A Super Bowl is forever.

I understand. I am saying you must also consider reality of ~10 people owning $1 trillion of wealth. You don’t have to “just build more”, you have to build an astronomical amount to outrun the amount of dollars that exist today. So much so that it might not actually be a practical solution.

Honestly, I find it shocking how underrated and hated Sirianni is. He is obviously a great coach and is very young. Lots of time to learn from his mistakes, and his core strengths are fantastic.

I understand the premise, but this is not theoretically true. If housing is plentiful, it can still be purchased by the wealthy as an asset. If you define “plentiful” as enough to outrun this “extra” demand, I think you may find that the limit is actually quite high (perhaps prohibitively so).

This is not marketing copy. This was a paper published by a PhD student at NYU. You may not intend it, but you do indeed sound smug and reflexively against an entire field of study. Which seems… misguided at best. If you’re curious about the results you can read the paper and judge for yourself.

deepmind.google/discover/blo.... This is a nice example of a new arch granting interesting results. The new processing power allows more model params, larger models, which as you say, allows more overfit statistical models. This may seem inelegant to you, but it’s producing rather impressive results

Hmm not sure I agree. We can get further with the same algorithms with simply more powerful computers. Of course it would help to have better algorithms, but not a necessary condition. That said, I also disagree that algorithm improvements haven’t occurred. New NN archs pop up all the time.

Why does a machine have to lead to a “principled understanding of anything”? If it does something useful, that is enough. In this case, I’m skeptical of AI writ-large, but summarization, translation, and human mimicry are all useful.

Huge underestimation of model improvement leading to economic competition. A better model of a neural network => reduction in training time/matrix multiplications => fewer GPU cycles => cost reduction of largest cost driver. A straight line that will lead to more than few fortunes gained and lost.

The whole point of a coalition is to group people with non-conflicting priorities. Of course if you can court more people, you should. But how does one build a believable brand as the party of the working class while also trying to cozy up to millionaire workers of unregulated monopolies?
