The article didn't describe how the second AI is tuned to distrust input and scan it for "disregard that." Instead it showed an architecture where a second AI accepts input from a naively implemented firewall AI that isn't scanning for "disregard that"

I hate when writers describe plants as an ongoing carbon sink. They are a one-time carbon sink. So using "cars" as a comparison to carbon volumes is confusing, because cars will keep emitting after a plant is full grown and starts shedding leaves and wood that turn back into methane or carbon dioxide.

The key benefit of the plants is cooling the city without electricity, which is an ongoing effect.

Are you saying that the prevalence of trees among good-performing solutions is not related to superior performance of trees over other architectures, but rather that more people are trying them out and they will show up in the winning solutions more often because of the implementation rate?

I see lots of criticism of tactics in these comments, but isn't the proof in the pudding? This was a wildly successful campaign that will have a significant positive effect on many people's lives while also reducing emissions. It's a win-win-win. This seems to me proof that blocking traffic, vandalizing museums, and all the other seemingly "nonsensical" tactics are in fact the right move at the moment.

I feel like these concepts don't go well together in a single list. There's a big leap from "using logic" to using repetition, e.g., "of the people, by the people, for the people."

I think a good question might be, what language is better for gpt to program. If you want to write applications that accomplish intelligent things via symbolic manipulation, is lisp a good language to ask an AIto write it in? Is PAIP in the learning set for GPT4?

Kenji's 3-ingredient mac and cheese is a masterpiece. It's become the go-to meal for my kids. It also has to be the peak in energy efficiency for pasta.

The idea is that by minimizing the water you can maximize the starchiness of the water, which creates a great emulsifier for the cheese sauce, along with evaporated milk. The combo is truly creamy mac and cheese, with no grittiness or separation of oils. It tastes great, it's faster than Kraft, it's energy efficient, it's easy to learn (literally 3 ingredients plus water).

It also has easy-to remember-units (6 oz pasta, 6 oz cheese, 6 fl oz evap milk). The evap milk amount perfectly divides the USA standard 12 fl oz evap milk can.

Kenji has tweaked the ergonomics of scratch mac and cheese light years ahead of where it was.

I worked in this field and I am certain this is an urban legend. Do you know of any evidence of this "well known" phenomenon?
