> It takes time and lower heat to cook through, create good flavor, and get good texture.

This is true of dark meat like chicken thighs, but chicken breast is the exact opposite. Cooking at slowly at low (but still conventional stove or oven temperatures) will give you either juicy chicken with little to no browning or dried out chicken with sufficient browning. A chicken breast is like a single-serving steak - it requires fast cooking (although not as fast as a thin steak) to achieve proper browning without overcooking the interior.

The exception is non-conventional very slow methods like sous vide where the the meat is cooked for over an hour in a medium that is more or less the target temperature of the interior of the meat. Although this provides no browning so you'll still want to sear it very quickly over high heat.

If you'd like to see an extreme version of this principle in action, try J. Kenji Lopez Alt's grilled chicken cutlets: https://www.seriouseats.com/five-minute-grilled-chicken-cutl...

By butchering the breast so that it's very thin and cooking it 90% on one side you can get delicious browning and juicy meat genuinely in under 5 minutes. It's a pretty great hack.

Massively overstating the risk of AI, and focusing on fictionalised risks rather than practical ones, has a host of benefits to them.

OpenAI pushes for regulation because

- It drives excitement, which helps their business

- It will make it harder for competitors to succeed

- It aims the regulation in the wrong direction

- It lets them dismiss criticism from other sources

None of the robot god stuff is real; it's a honey trap for the credulous, laid by profiteers. LLMs are really exciting, but they aren't actually an existential threat, and the people who trumpet that are doing their own (otherwise interesting and valuable) work a massive disservice.
Most LLM architectures use “soft attention” where some fractional amount of attention is put on every token. “Hard attention” is the term for what you describe.
I don't really speak out of concern of the well being of those in research, but for the health of the system as a whole.

The fact it's a monster that eats people alive to me is an evidence that the whole thing needs to be torn down and replaced, which is the best way to erase all these sorts of harms.

But this isn't about today's scientists. I fully expect a collapse of academia to harm anyone currently in it, because the skills you need to succeed will change dramatically

I had a tenured faculty position at an R1 university and left it in part because of a completely dysfunctional institutional environment with no insight. My best friends include full professors at well-known institutions, though, and I've continued to be involved with academics and research.

I'm frankly tired of science being characterized in terms of competitiveness and abuse. That's true, but it's deeper than that. It is now structurally corrupt, in the sense that nominal credit does not reflect actual contributions and results are often questionable or even fraudulent, and the incentives are structured to reward collecting new data that are very predictable rather than new ideas or exploring unknowns.

The characterization of science as just being "stressful" or "competitive", as opposed to being broken and corrupt, does disservice and deflects from real change by implicitly putting the responsibility on those who are affected the most.

It's as if you had a city full of crime, white collar as well as otherwise, and then discussed the problems in terms of victims being anxious, rather than the fact there's no police in the the city and the court system is corrupt.

I thought my comment was pretty self-explanatory but I'll restate it. I don't believe people when they make talk about how their particular favourite flavour of crypto is better/stabler/stronger than reserve currencies like USD, GBP, EUR, CHF etc. My feeling is that they're either just trying to convince you to get on board or perhaps even trying to convince themselves.

What’s the business model here? The agreements are free, so I’m guessing you make money on contract management? But small startups don’t really need this (not enough to pay, at any rate), and larger startups do business with big entities that won’t sign hyper-standardized contracts like these, for the most part.

So assuming you’re charging for the contract management piece, who is the target customer (and how much do you charge)? Or do you provide some other value that I’m not seeing?
Now I can cook some range of dishes reasonably well, but when I was a student long ago I was very much a beginner - and it still worked out alright.

If you happen to already have a big 4WD truck which you need for other things then obviously it makes sense to use that anywhere it might give you an advantage. Sometimes that advantage turns out to be pretty marginal in practical terms but for you, because you're used to to handling the terrain with ease, switching to a crappy 2WD car would feel like a massive downgrade.

Another kitchen analogy, some people spend their whole lives chopping things with a blunt knife. When I offer to help out and realise this state of affairs my first reaction is "how the hell can anyone chop tomatoes with this?!" ... but of course they can, it's just slower and more annoying.

Well, the only policy I've seen on this front is windfall taxation, which is a kind of "heads the state wins, tails the company loses" dick move that only makes sense if your goal is to punish greed. Strategically it is a mistake, and will encourage profit hiding ala Amazon's preAWS days.

Absolutely. Because:

1. When they waltz over to my cube, they are also interrupting themselves, so they are an order less likely to do it (i.e. do it only when important).

2. IM notifications every few minutes is far more disruptive than a quick 1-5 minute conversation. When he leaves the cube, I can focus. With IM, if I respond, I don't know when, or even if, he will respond. That consumes some of the focus. And an IM session can last 30+ minutes because of the async nature.

3. It's my manager. If he IMs me and I don't respond, and it's important enough, he'll come to my cube anyway (and be annoyed/upset). I can't always know what is important to him or not. So async doesn't really work that well.

4. I don't need the mental burden of tracking which IM sessions have pending responses. Email is much easier to manage. So my policy tends to be: "If I don't respond soon after seeing it, assume it is forgotten and ping me again."
Of course there could be sexual selection at play! I would argue though, that form of selection will take at many generations to take hold where as genocide of a species happens in a single generation. Of course, the smaller the population, the faster sexual selection will take effect but it might be hard to disambiguate with other fitness factors.

Fwiw, a very similar thing happens during selection for bacterial resistance. You eliminate all the cells susceptible leaving a population of resistant cells. This population then grows to replace the previous generation. You could analogize this with the elephants. Small tusk and docile elephants have a "resistance" to being murdered by poachers. The poachers eliminate all the others and suddenly the population seems domesticated.

The problem is that for some reason, nuance is scarce in Reddit threads. It's not usually thoughtful, multifaceted opinions that get posted, but instead short, quippy, polarized statements that intentionally or otherwise come off as combative.

It's not really possible to have a productive conversation like that, regardless of the topic. Everything degrades into an endless game of oneupmanship that escalates until the opinions being represented are distorted well beyond anything espoused by most people in real-life discussions.

My impression was that wolfs self-domesticated into dogs as well.

The story I heard about wolf domestication was that some wolfs started living nearer to humans, cooperated during hunts, ate their scrap etc. I would consider this self-domestication.

If humans had captured wolfs and selectively bred them to be less aggressive, that wouldn't be self-domestication.

Or am I totally off track here?
> This is nonsense. Google has more than enough legal resources to handle this.

I don't think this is even close to correct. Lawyers were hit especially hard in the January layoffs, way more than 6%, and many teams lost their dedicated lawyers entirely (e.g. my team had one lawyer laid off and the other was reassigned to a basket of products instead of just our own).

What percent of Americans do you think know about these things? If you set the over/under at 5%, I'd happily take the under. I'd probably be inclined to take the under at 2% as well. That's what's really changing. The government being horrific and abusive is nothing new, but having any remotely relevant chunk of people aware of it, is. And many of those events you mentioned remained completely classified for decades. Operation Northwoods was not made fully available until 2001, about 40 years after it happened.

Now everybody is getting to see this happen in real time. Fabricating evidence to invade Iraq, a completely dystopic domestic surveillance system revealed by a whistle blower, what happens when societies faces even the slightest threat (from a pandemic in this case), the complete collapse of media integrity, completely routine abuse of spying powers, politicization of every single body of the government, and much more. This is what makes now, so much different than the past. "We", as in way more than 5%, are all seeing this play out in real time - and it's shaping our worldviews.

> Any intelligence capable of human level reasoning would be able to choose “evil”.

Tangent, but if this is true (which seems likely to me) ...

If a hypothetical creator valued the existence of other intelligences more than it valued preventing all forms of evil, that would account for the problem of evil.

This also fits with annihilationist theologies. Build a universe where intelligences can exist and put heavy survival / selection pressures in place (i.e. "natural evil" - hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, etc) to encourage evolution and development.

Whenever the process yields intelligences that converge on its values, export them to an environment where it can interact with them and enjoy their company with less concern about their alignment (i.e. "heaven"). Ones that don't converge on its values can be discarded when their run is over ("the second death").

In this light, it doesn't sound crazy to postulate our universe as some being's attempt to solve the alignment problem.

Call it the Simulator, call it God, call it "underpaid research assistant" - take your pick.

I don't have good evidence for this oddball proposition, but it's still intriguing to me.
Precisely. Languages have more or less information density ("bits per symbol"), but when you look at information rate per unit time, it all works out to pretty similar.

Kind of like how QAM256 can convey more bits per symbol than QAM16, but it needs a lower baud for a given noise level, channel bandwidth, and error rate. You can squeeze out efficiency of a channel, but you can't overcome the noisy channel coding theorem max rate.
