Hi!
Your ML study guide seems nice, I'll probably need it in a year or two, waiting for improved versions :)
About diet, have you tried soylent or derivatives? I'm gonna try it, seems like a good way to save time.
it's not that people are innately evil, it's that they've learned a bad strategy to get what they want
what if sometimes it is not a bad strategy, but the only strategy?
For example nazi scientists did some cruel and evil experiments on humans, but in exchange they got what they wanted.
chimpanzees are cruel but have no concept of evil?
But... how do you know that chimpanzees have no concept of evil?
Eh, I think this is no innate evil, but people optimizing their behavior around the incentive of getting dopamine jumps, when they show their superiority to people around them while acting as a bully, or self pleasure of knowing they managed to troll someone on the internet forums and thus are better than them.
You gave no examples of evilness but just things that some predisposed people do to get their rewards, because their prehistoric ancestors evolved that way over the course of millions of years. Real evilness would be to do things that give nothing in...
Do you guys think it is worth to learn chinese if I'm planning a career in science?
China is becoming more and more influential in the world, plus in 2020 it's published more scientific papers than USA, most of which are not translated, thus being able to read them would be an advantage. (https://www.scimagojr.com/countryrank.php?year=2020)
I'm not sure how to find information about which country puts more money and is progressing faster in molecular biology/biophysics though.
I thought a bit more about it and at the rate that automatic translation gets better I would expect that it's no problem to read biology papers in 1-2 decades if they are written in Chinese and you don't know Chinese.
Yeah, I largely agree with lsusr. According to my mom (whose career has focused on second language acquisition and Chinese-American cultural exchange), basically no student gets past second year Chinese at a university level unless they're majoring it. Like, even business majors who plan to work in China. When I took university-level Chinese it really shocked me how much harder it was than other languages I'd learned – after nine months of five hours a week of quality university-level instruction, reading-wise I could barely understand books aimed at toddl...
I have undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics. I taught myself business, entrepreneurship, computer science, machine learning, web development and Chinese. I have run my own consumer hardware startup.
The Chinese word for kinetochore is 动粒. If you go to the English Wikipedia page on kinetochores it's all in English. If you go to the Chinese Baidupedia page on 动粒 the first sentence lists the English word "kinetochore". That's because English is the lingua franca of science.
Learning Chinese because you love China and Chinese culture is a stupendous ...
Wouldn't AI rebuild itself from zero to prevent such trojans anyway? Then it is pointless.
I'm sure AI would be aware of such a threat, for example it could scan the internet and stumble upon posts such as this.
Isn't this another loop that you didn't mention? :P
His admirers
Who are his admirers? Just like who are his enemies.
What about threads like "Open & Welcome Thread"? I had a bit trouble finding it today.
A way to make these would be to make a second version of the Personal Blog, which shows on the main page.
Or entirely different tag, "Community Post"? Available for trusted members. Though it would probably be the same as "Open Threads" tag.
Hi, according to this research, it might not be possible to increase working memory, since the memory limit seems to be the same for birds, monkeys and humans, and in extension in all animals:
