News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

No one knows if the pigeon-hole principle applies absolutely exclusive to the ability to generalize outside of a training set.

That is the existential, $1T question.

"Essentially"

This is the #1 pedantic thing HN frequenters flail over.

Turing built a limited machine, bound to a finite tape.

Bravo.

The hospital, sure.

Why would Wuhan center being empty represent anything?

People don't rush to a random (unrelated) building when they get sick at the "market".

Coincidence, surely?

What are the chances of having a specialized infectious disease center next to where that type of disease spontaneously emerged?

More or less likely than a bat having sex with a panda possum?

No one, not even the cowardly academics, believed it.

Lol half the people on this site still can't get past that one.

There are still brigades of Fauci loyalists shilling for the CCP.

White people don't like getting called racists for existing.

You hate white people. Just day it.

It's okay to hate whites on hackernews, just call them Trump-tards.

There is no way to play chess with pigeons.

Especially pigeons that scream "rape" and "nazi" all day.

False, facts only need to be seen once, and one mis-step in reasoning and your CoT is derailed.

Thank you, Code as Data problems are innate to the von Nuemman architecture, but I could never articulate how LLMs are so huge they are essentially Turing-complete and equivalent computationally.

You _can_ combinate through them, just not in our universe.

The hospital was full.

The institute would never be full.

There is no "bring your child to work day" in China.

Weird conflation, unlikely... uunless you mean to muddy the waters and sow dis-information.

Lol people were getting called racist for suggesting it was anything less than the spawn of a bat and an asian water racoon.

It still isn't even acceptable to acknowledge the (blatant) possibility that Omnicron was intentionally leaked because of low vaccine effectiveness.

Did your grandpa get this bent outta shape over "free and fair elections" too?

Very "reasonable" to focus on blue hair and not the poingnant point of social decay.

How would your grandpa approve of your 4th graders sex change?

Of course not. Biden called anyone who cared enough about their kids' mis-education "domestic terrorists", proving my point:

Democrats favored social decay and racial tensions as their sole platform.

Seek help.

Abandoning weaponized political norms to salvage social norms is what both sides have done.

  Well maybe authoritarianism is is the 'natural' place that the social order tends to.
It is. People tend to regress to tradition when sudden change upsends common order. Liberal terrorism (that we have seen) doesn't really change what people think - just what they are allowed to express openly without fear of recorse.

Reducing to atomics, society is composed of families. Families start with a father.

It's that simple.

Basic pattern recognition.

The weirder question is, why the need to proclaim ideological association in a such an orthodox medium?

Hint: it relates to sexual signaling. Which fits into the anti-normative anti-natalist sentiment those people are so infatuated with.

Humans don't have blue hair naturally, just to make that clear.

Well yes, just as easily as the divisiness of the previous administration was deemed "normal".

Turns out blue haired Kindergarden teachers discussing sexual matters with pupils isn't normal.

BDSM publically heralded as "bravery" in the Whitehouse.

The Democrats think rappers twerking was an acceptable fundraiser.

At some point telling black Americans to shut up and vote for the black person is insulting.

But, easier mentally to categorically define 65% of Americans as essentially retarded racists.

So, the pendulum swang, again.

What else did they play a big role in creating?

Go ahead, pretend this isn't related to the bio weapon this agency allowed to be created and leaked.

Trump loves cancer, nothing to do with the politically weaponized pandemic.

Rewriting your comment with less overt political bias:

The vocal minority have become reminded of their privileged status, and normality is returning to the social order.

Most people support Trump overtly, even if they lie to themselves in the meantime.

Cowardice kills, still too many people in polical limbo lala delusional land, tuning between TV channels to be told who to blame next.

Trump is Clinton with balls.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is bad."

Please, not another 4 years of this.

Sincerely, reddit is not HN.

Sieve the temporary backprop interim weights as a function of its loss of varentrophy relative to its place in the revalued weights.

Remove the bottom weights dynamically based on the local gradient in varentrophy so that internal dissonance ("doubt") can be selected against.

"Preference Optimization" but with more opportunities for meta-optimization.

His thesis that AI is just distilled omega-capitalism is true, very plainly.
