@francidellamora be careful with that one, https://t.co/tVWrBHgWSB

It's not about what you do. It's about what you were likely to do.

@wangbin579 do this like five times and still it's just what an interpreted language does when you run your code

@robinhanson since a homogenous branching process* either converges to 0 or infinity, isn't it good that the birth rate is changing? What amount of oscillation in the rate would be acceptable to you?

[mikestylz @orthogonalizer]

@eshear tautologically good

@ESYudkowsky @GiveWell Community behaviour exists in an iterated prisoner's dilemma. He thinks he is a player in a single round game but he has actually just played a single turn for the ea community, and it was a bad move.

@eshear you don't think it's possible to have a fuzzy moral sense that points you in a direction, which then arrives at formalism with time? why can't morality be a process that updates itself just as knowledge is?

@bryan_caplan A bit surprised by the results considering there is a real shortage of computer science educators right now, with undergraduate admissions becoming quite competitive in order to match for capacity. Also lots of development rn is just uber for dogs and so on.

@arithmoquine @lifetimization feyerabend would call this scientific reasoning still. there's no one definite process, what's important is to cling and build on external verification the same way a growing sapling uses a stake for support

@eshear @QiaochuYuan Steelman the kolmogorov complexity side by just saying "lowest proven kolmogorov complexity" or just consider the complexities of the set of programs that have been proven to be O(n) or any other complexity class. Different foundations don't change the complexity too much either

@eshear @robbensinger if you've changed any of your opinions in the last year it's clear you aren't qualified for ends justify the means, and if you haven't changed any of your opinions in the last year it's clear you aren't qualified for ends justify the means

@_drawthentic_ retreating and territory doesn't have the same meaning when we talk about nomads

@robinhanson meanwhile aristos, meaning best, evolved into aristocrat

@sama the last model for the last year

@eshear I'm reminded of when Ken Church's language parsing project found a sentence with over a million grammatically correct interpretations.

@vikhyatk Much easier to fire later than to hire back. I'd do the same if I had even a modicum of humility regarding that prediction.

@DaveShapi I don't think death evolved because intelligence decreases past certain ages. Wasps age. We might get restored learning capacity and open-mindedness for free if we cure aging.

Floating point imprecision produces distinctive patterns on most manmade objects that are only visible by microscope.

@hsu_steve It needs to earn that per year but we only have to pay the money indirectly. If AI is used widely by businesses then the consumer will pay for it with every product we buy.
