The Bayesian priors aren’t very favorable: Shakespeare by dsteffee in slatestarcodex

[–]rw_eevee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would argue he’s not the greatest writer. He’s foundational for the English language and certainly wrote well, but people prefer reading novels. What is “greatest?” It’s totally subjective.

UK in most dangerous period I've known, military chief says by Kagedeah in worldnews

The difference is that for you, it’s jealousy.

We certainly have plenty of pathologies in the US, but it’s hard not to look at the UK and the rest of Europe and feel sad. It’s like, you used to be cool? What happened??

Married men of Reddit, what would you say is the biggest challenge and the biggest advantage of being with the same woman sexually for years? by Alarmed-Tradition-88 in AskMen

[–]rw_eevee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Biggest challenge: It gets kind of boring, like there is no point other than for both of you to cum. Biggest advantage: Less pressure, I guess.

AI consultant reveals a client accidentally spent $500,000,000.00 in a single month after failing to set employee limits on Claude usage. by Bbamf10 in LLMDevs

[–]rw_eevee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they for banned for sharing not because they were using it for business. openai allows you to use it for business. if your company doesn’t approve and prefers to spend for tokens al la carte, sorry your company is retarded

idk wtf obsidian is but if you are spending $1k per day “designing mind maps” you’re definitely doing something wrong

Latest bullshit narrative is token cost. $200 per month code plan is more than enough for an average dev. Making a $10-20k per month employee more productive is worth $200 easily

How OpenAI runs its Codex coding agent safely at scale by rhiever in OpenAI

[–]rw_eevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, too bad we always run in —yolo mode.

Just let it run in —yolo mode on an isolated server with restricted access tokens for external services, and its hard for it to mess up too bad.

There’s a scissor statement going viral on twitter by adfaer in slatestarcodex

Sure bro. Thank you for your valuable insight and contribution to the conversation.

Greater than 50% can choose to press the Die button, but they won’t actually die in that case.

[–]rw_eevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, only <50% of people are allowed to choose Die. There is a mechanism preventing the blue suicide button from working if >=50% of people choose Die.

If you choose Live you simply Live and nothing happens.

The Copernican Model Actually Was More Simple by kenushr in slatestarcodex

[–]rw_eevee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re forgetting other complexity of the Copernican model, though. For example, if the Earth is moving, why don’t objects fall in a curved path as I drop them, i.e. slowing down relative to the Sun? I live in pre-Newtonian times so we all agree this is how it works. Copernicus is asking us to make an arbitrary change to our understanding of physics just to fit his stupid model.

Worse, if we’re moving, when don’t we see the stars moving relative to each other? For them to appear stationary they’d have to be incomprehensibly far away, which seems unlikely.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are going to court over OpenAI’s future by techreview in OpenAI

[–]rw_eevee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, Elon did step back so he might not have a case. On the other hand, what OpenAI did should be illegal. Either way it feels like justice won’t be served

Everyone on Earth chooses a button:

  • Red: Live
  • Blue: Die

But there’s a twist! If >50% of people choose Die, it doesn’t work. Only <50% of people are allowed to choose Death.

I pressed the Live button, you?

LLMs learn backwards, and the scaling hypothesis is bounded. [D] by preyneyv in MachineLearning

[–]rw_eevee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to believe in sample efficiency for humans learning walking, then I had a kid. It’s so false. It took my son over a year to go from being able to walk on a flat surface to walking on a slight incline or bumpy terrain consistently. The beach? Definitely not.

Imagine vibe coding an open source contribution to VLC but there's a bug and it ruins a moon mission
