Without opening the link, the problem with every piece of data I’ve seen from Tesla is they’re comparing apples to oranges. FSD won’t activate in adverse driving conditions, aka when accidents are much more likely to occur. And/or drivers are choosing not to use it in those conditions.

Yeah, it's a dupe of the one that gets manually kicked off the front page after less than a day.

Shameful, really. The importance of public critique & awareness of OpenAI's leadership should go beyond the interests of YC.

So what happened to Daniel Kokotajlo, the ex-OAI employee who made a comment saying that his equity was clawed back? Was it a miscommunication and he was referring to unvested equity, or is Sama just lying?

In the original context, it sounded very much like he was referring to clawed-back equity. I’m trying to find the link.

Half of our DNA is just old viruses which every cell in our body reproduces for no reason.

Seems like every time people think big things in the body are there for no reason, new developments later show them to be wrong.

I don’t care to say more than the above because I will already get downvoted for even this much.

Please re-read and reconsider the context of my post. This reddit-tier "must seek to contradict and attack others" behavior doesn't do anyone any good.

You only get knee and back problems when you're old, which is because the body just stops repairing itself as effectively as it does when you're young.

It's going to be far easier to re-enable the ability to self-repair our bodies as we do in youth than to completely change the function of two of our limbs.

Check out Rumble. I go there by default nowadays because most of the content creators I follow have been banned from YouTube and moved there as a replacement.

It is true.

See, I can do argument by contradiction too.

Even if that were true for all human populations and not just a select few, 100,000 years is still very short compared to 2 million estimated years of hunter-gathering.

Lots of studies out there which are correlational and thus meaningless, or worse, studies which intentionally produce false results due to being bought-and-paid-for. I don't have time to look at each link that page cites, but for example the American Heart Association is a terrible entity with worse than worthless recommendations which are completely not backed up by science.

Most of human evolutionary history was hunter-gatherer times, and they were not eating wheat. Farming is a relatively recent invention.

Before long OpenAI will be able to implement FSD by trivially handing the video feed and API calls to GPTX and asking it to drive.

I think the Tesla AI team is just unserious about the problem, probably largely because of Musk being a poor leader for the project.

The technology isn't close to doing anything like this yet.

I was hoping for critiques of specific functional medicine treatments that were administered, but didn't find many in the article. Their link about heavy metal poisoning being "rejected by medical science" is a broken link.

Besides that the article is mostly just attempted character assassination of various people and goes after some of the more fringe elements / treatments in the field.

A huge part of functional medicine is just helping the patient address lifestyle factors - diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and removing negative environmental influences, whether those are a person, a diet issue (particular foods can do a lot of damage), a physical environmental issue such as mold, etc.

The first step that every (decent) functional medicine doctor takes with a new patient is just looking for nutritional deficiencies and other lifestyle factors, and doing tests and asking questions to check for those things. Completely uncontroversial and backed up by science that everyone on earth agrees with. But regular doctors don't even take that basic step for their patients because it takes too long to actually learn about a person, their background, their personality, etc. and actually help them create lifestyle change.

Beyond that, I wish the critics would actually address the more common treatments in functional medicine instead of the fringe stuff. Things like alternative treatments for parasites (blastocystis, various worms, dientamoeba, etc.), candida overgrowth, SIBO, heavy metal poisoning, various autoimmune issues, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal issues, etc.

The modern healthcare system is broken in a hundred ways but instead of having any curiosity about alternative approaches folks like the author of this article just attack the field and the people in it rabidly.

What's your standard of evidence? The functional medicine folks I follow and who I am a client of generally follow the latest research closely. In the content they produce and in the books they write, they refer to and cite hundreds of studies.

Except for, you know, the entire field of functional medicine which has done wonders for the lives of millions who have been failed by the mainstream medical establishment.

To add to what others have said, we know from psychology that the human brain works by building a (causative) model of the world, and then propagating the signal where our model goes awry and differs from what we experience.

GPT will start becoming really powerful when you just give it arms and legs and let it build it's own training dataset the way regular animals do (in the process of evolution & throughout their lives).

"Do a single thing" is a meaningless qualifier.

Redis is 70k lines of code and yet only "does a single thing" - runs an in-memory data store.

IMO it's much more useful to just consider which mode of code organization increases readability and maintainability. Those are things you can actually describe and examine.

For me, I found that sleep quality was correlated with my blood sugar levels dipping too low during sleep (which I was able to address by eating fewer low quality carbs during the day).

In general you'll be able to basically see in real time the glycemic impact of all the foods you eat. Which would probably be helpful to a lot of people - you can find all the info online, but having the physical real time stats in front of you makes a difference.

But mostly its what you'd expect. High carb, fast digesting meal -> blood sugar spikes, then drops in accordance with you feeling tired afterwards. Eat keto -> blood sugar is mostly stable.

I think they might have been able to get one because they're in Europe, while in the US it requires a prescription. But you can just find a doctor who will prescribe one for you. (You will still have to pay out of pocket regardless).

Could be wrong on the above but that's been my understanding/experience.

AI development will not be using no-code technologies. Text is the best form of compression (of meaning/intent/information) for 99% of software and that isn't going to change.

What AI will accomplish is creating an entire new package ecosystem from scratch, written at a low-level so that it can be extremely performant, while also being highly extensible, abstract, intuitive, interoperable with all languages, etc.

Then the code will be able to take human prompts and translate them into business logic code that uses all those packages. For fuzzy domains with low correctness requirements, the AI will be able to make all the changes to the codebase without verification. For domains with higher correctness requirements, humans will review all the code, or you could have the AI first generate a formal specification based on the prompt, have the humans review that, and then have the AI generate code along with a proof of that code's correctness in conformance to the spec.

I have a One Plus which is slightly newer than that (~4 years old). It's very slow. I suspect people with a sentiment like yours just don't care about small amounts of latency. I wish the screen was immediately and instantaneously responsive to all my actions, and I wish all the apps I opened would immediately be interactive as soon as they are visible.

Would you recommend that book or any others on real estate / real estate taxes? I'm thinking about getting into the market soon.

Probably it's just a little unity world with a visual filter, some models and movements that those models make, and then you train GPT-3 by giving it the API of what scenes, actions, and camera angles are available, and have it generate those in combination with a script and laugh tracks.

As far as I understand, in React, there is no redundancy to compress. You have one algorithm for diffing the virtual DOM and you're done. On a spectrum of biggest bundle size to smallest possible bundle size, the React model (more specifically Preact) would be as far to the right as you can go. Whereas any solution which does more specific compilation on individual operations to minimize DOM update work is going to have special code for each case.

Above thread summarizes the issue pretty well I think. Optimizing for DOM updates is nice, but you also want to optimize for bundle size and page load time, and at a certain app size the compiler output is always going to be bigger than just using a virtual DOM.

Here's a #3: It would probably make running LoL private servers much easier. Riot has been extremely aggressive with shutting down private servers (of old versions of the game that people want to be allowed to play, but cannot).

No wonder they refuse to remove creep block.

There are a lot of differences certainly, but there have been papers written about the similarities, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26697892 (arguments against are included there too).

The main reason why I draw parallels is because my main objective is progress towards machines achieving human-level intelligence. We already have an "AGI" which works incredibly well; the human brain. We should be studying it as deeply as possible and borrowing its means & mechanisms for use in our machine intelligence systems. Trying to re-invent the brain from scratch is surely going to be far harder.

I think the way evolution operates is quite a bit more complicated than "one bitflip at a time". The way evolution operates is a meta-process that itself was shaped by an evolutionary process which took place (mostly) long ago.

IMO, the genome is like an abstract system which was "designed" for evolution. It can move in one direction or another on the phenotypic plane actually extremely quickly under strong environmental pressures (on the order of only a few hundred or thousand years). And the winds of environmental pressures are frequently shifting, producing what was likely a very thorough and aggressive search of the state space.

I agree there is probably a lot to be learned from further study of the human body and brain, but we will have to re-invent a lot ourselves too since the machine capabilities we are looking for are really a lot different than the constraints that humans were shaped under.
