You mean omega, not theta

Surely you could implement this via a sorting algorithm? If you can prove the distance function is a metric and both lists contains elements from the same space under that metric, isn’t the answer to sort both?

How do they pay back those low-interest loans? I’ve always been curious.

It’s likely transpiring and not compiling, so it’s a lot easier than it seems. Source: made a language that adds features to Python and transpiles to valid Python.

What’s wild to me is how Yann LeCun doesn’t seem to see this as an issue at all. Many other leading researchers (Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Frank Hutter, etc.) signed that letter on the threats of AI and LeCun just posts on Twitter and talks about how we’ll just “not build” potentially harmful AI. Really makes me lose trust in anything else he says.

Research is also fairly AI resistant. You need people coming up with ideas and be able to verify anything AI says, and conduct thorough experiments.

Is there research consensus on when children should be given phones? I would personally be very conservative about it, honestly.

I can’t afford one, but I also just don’t want to. I get groceries delivered and can Uber around. I just don’t travel all that much.

Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.

Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.

They’d have to drop it significantly for most people to buy. If I had a spare $2k I’d upgrade my Mac.

Which plugin do you use?

Kind of. The app doesn’t in any way tell you that you can use the card balance to pay part of your bill and then use a credit card for the rest; I only found out when a barista told me

Apparently the dumbest one ever

Yeah the syntax is pretty far from more established languages, which is why I prefer C++ when I use it.

Huh, I stand corrected. I’ll update my comment.

100% agree. I personally haven’t got a use case that fits very well with it (maybe someday when I build a Zettelkasten), but I can see why the community loves it so much. Open source and a great library of plugins.

Edit: Turns out it isn’t open source and their terrible misunderstanding of open source doesn’t help.

I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.

Huh that’s kinda neat. Thanks!

Why do people hate Altman? Genuinely OOTL.

So according to this, the DoT values a life at $12.5M in 2022? I’m curious about their methodology.
