@growing_daniel But Daniel... white collar work is building the neural nets that humanoid robotics run on
It'll just be bottlenecked by assembling them

HOI-DETR (Hand-Object Interaction) is a new zero-shot framework that integrates hand-object and object-object interaction
-Hand + tool detections
-Interaction links (+secondary object)
Huge for robotics training 🔥🔥
Eh, the smart people from high school are killing it for the most part. The theatre kids have not been so fortunate. A few troonouts in that department.
It blows my mind to see physicians arguing that getting more data on a patient is harmful because it will be used stupidly, so we are better off just not getting the data, and instead should let cancer tell us when it’s arrived. Are things really this grim in medicine?
Obviously true, but I expect it to be a l temporary phenomenon. Eventually AI will be insanely good at figuring out what you want, Fable was like that, and your ideas are likely to be worse than giving the AI a rough idea and letting it plan out the steps
White House demands that the computer nerds tell them, given the program's input, if any arbitrary computer program will finish running or continue to run forever
Fascinating report. Among other things:
Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer let off 13,000 gang rapists and pedophiles.
Mayor of London @MayorofLondon denied the existence of rape gangs he was personally aware of.
@asaio87 Depending on the code base you're working on and how good other docs are...
Reviewing every line of code is a thing of the past. What nobody REALLY wants to admit is that you don't need to do that anymore. And the amount of code you don't need to review will increase over time.
If this is what the Trump admin put the export controls on Anthropic for... man... what are they doing?
I really hope there are *real* computer scientists in the admins team making these calls and seeing something beyond what's been publicly shared. Otherwise... oof.
The actual joke here is not that liberals lack a theory of mind for anyone on the right (they do) while the average person on the right has one for liberals (they do, it's mistaken)
It's that lib lack a theory of mind *for themselves*
Their views of themselves and why they believe what they believe are entirely incorrect - they view their beliefs as "rational" and "following the evidence" but their actual beliefs are more simply described by "attempts to match the beliefs of the hivemind" and the hivemind changes beliefs based on if those beliefs produce power
The simplest example (and there are others) is everything around covid where it went from "it's racist to worry about a disease - hug a Chinese person" to "shut everything down" to "racism is the real public health emergency" all following purely from the logic of power
If a liberal had a good theory of mind *for himself* he would see himself as so cynical that he couldn't function as a good liberal - just saying that this is how they form views is enough to disqualify anyone from taking their views seriously
Them lacking a theory of mind for anyone on the right is just a natural consequence of this
If billionaires and trillionaires suddenly disappeared overnight, everything would get worse for me. If everyone on SNAP disappeared, everything would get better.
The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.
I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.
When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.
Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.
They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.
Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?
The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
