OH: “classical NLP approaches like BERT”
A cute old word for crush is "smitten". Same root as "smite", an attack from god
People always joke about how Hollywood adaptations of real events are so exaggerated, add explosions and incredibly attractive people for every role. But Cinema does this too, just with absurd emotional explosions instead of chemical explosions en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguerit…
@norvid_studies I think simple consequences of quantum ED are always going to take the cake here (another is why are crystals either reflective or transparent). Less technical but same vibe imo is "how was the first precision measurement made"
Mistral, Phi and LLaMA are trained on contaminated data - training on the test set ftw :-D In contrast to Claude and GPT

Alternate history where Wiener went with the Latin rather than Greek root and called it "gubernatics" instead of "cybernetics", leading William Gibson to call it "guberspace" and "guberpunk".

The microcosm principle is then the idea that many (most? all??) mathematical structures live in an appropriately categorified version of themselves. Monoid objects live in monoidal categories. Commutative monoid objects live in symmetric monoidal categories. Etc. (5/6)
@Scholars_Stage It's easy to have pro progress/capitalism beliefs when they produce things that align with your aesthetics, so I do think this is indicative of whether they actually have those beliefs or just a certain set of aesthetics.
If you want to understand why the world is the way it is, focus not on this math teacher, but on the quote tweets arguing that 360 is correct because it's what the teacher was looking for. According to them, the purpose of school is to train children that they must set aside…
Update -- the mystery is now solved. The answer to question 13) is 360. My daughter put infinity, so she got 39/40 on the homework, but that is how you learn.
When people list fraud at a massive scale as their top AI concern, some of my xrisk friends wince at the insignificance of massive fraud compared to extinction. But consider that con-artistry is a more likely attack surface for unrecoverable AI takeover than, say, bioengineering.
@thatMikeBishop @robbensinger @StefanFSchubert @g_leech_ @PavelDAtanasov @JZBerman @RYChappell @NathanpmYoung @rgblong I give a bit more time to people who use numbers because it opens them up to being wrong but idk how that works for the genpop
(But yeah I do actually think solving "galaxy-brained" / ambitious AI value alignment requires getting machines to "understand" the semantics of evaluative concepts, and hence understanding what grounds an action being e.g. "helpful", "harmful", "respectful".)
It’s heartwarming to see people who disagree so much unite on doing something so completely dumb and evil ❤️

In reality every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have perceived in himself.
So long story short, Twitter is a machine for making secret clubhouses out of discrete streams of bullshit And then cracking those clubhouses open to expose their sweet sweet content to the teeming masses
Everyone knows that Searle was engagement bait, right? You can get lots of "engagement" (citations) that way, but it isn't a sign of good thinking. The nearly nameless "critics" are classified by which (of 5 big) counter-arguments they most favored. plato.stanford.edu/entries/chines…
@g_leech_ Indoors probably not, I think even an overcast day in Scotland probably has a lot of sunlight compared to being inside? Obviously it's more important when you're in direct sunlight, so it just depends how costly it feels to wear it and how much you care about the risks
Our dog was playing with another dog and so I got chatting to the owner. I said "apologies for making assumptions based on your hairstyle, but are you into Fugazi?" And he was! So we had a chat about Fugazi and Minor Threat while our dogs played.

@julianboolean_ - you can't have multi-electron states where multiple electrons are in the same place, because the wavefunction has to be antisymmetric. This is the quantum mechanical fact behind the Pauli exclusion principle.
