I think this last edit is bad.

Is there any “native” textbook that is pragmatic and explains how to use bayesian in practice (perhaps in some narrow domain)?
Did the model randomly stumble upon this strategy? Or was there an idea pitched by the language model, something like “hey, what if we try to hallucinate and maybe we can hack the game that way”?
Are you able to play sounds using other programs (e.g. open a YouTube video in the background) while getting great latency in reaper or in something similar to reaper?
I’ve been thinking of buying an M1 MacBook because everyone says that Apple’s sound system is great and works out of the box correctly with low latency and no problems, unlike Windows+Wasapi, Windows+ASIO, and Linux. I want to use it for music stuff without an external audio interface. How true is this and would you recommend it?
You says Vast.AI is the “most reliable provider”. In my experience, it’s an unreliable mess with sometimes buggy not properly working servers and non-existent support service. I will also say the same about runpod.io. On the other hand, lambdalabs had been very reliable in my experience and has a much better UX. The main problem with LambdaLabs is that nowadays it happens pretty often that it has no available servers.
This sounds similar to whether a contemporary machine learning model can break a cryptographic cipher, a hash function, or something like that.
Can you formulate the theorem statement in a precise and self-sufficient way that is usually used in textbooks and papers so that a reader can understand it just by reading it and looking up the used definitions?
I have a kinda-unrelated question. Does Bill Gates write gatesnotes completely himself just because he wants? Or is this a marketing/pr thing and is written by other people? If it’s the former, then I want to read it. If it’s the latter, I don’t.
Do you mean “What do you want me to do” in the tone of voice that means “There’s nothing to do here, bugger off”? Or do you mean “What do you want me to do?” in the tone of voice that means “I’m ready to help with this. What should I do to remedy the problem?”?
I have recently read The Little Typer by Friedman and Christiansen. I suspect that this book can serve as an introduction similarly to this (planned, so far) sequence of posts. However, the book is not concise at all.
Are those instructions for making a Molotov cocktail and for hotwiring a car real? They look like something someone who’s only seen it done in movies would do. Same question for methamphetamine, except that recipe looks more plausible.
Thanks for writing this update! I think your English skills have improved a lot.
I’ve just read your previous two posts. I, too, will be interested to read another post of yours.
I am (was) an X% researcher, where X<Y. I wish I had given up on AI safety earlier. I suspect it would’ve been better for me if AI safety resources explicitly said things like “if you’re less than Y, don’t even try”, although I’m not sure if I would’ve believed them. Now, I’m glad that I’m not trying to do AI safety anymore and instead I just work at a well paying relaxed job doing practical machine learning. So, I think pushing too many EAs into AI safety will lead to those EAs suffering much more, which happened to me, so I don’t want that to happen and I don’t want the AI Alignment community to stop saying “You should stay if and only if you’re better than Y”.
Actually, I wish there were more selfish-oriented resources for AI Alignment. Like, with normal universities and jobs, people analyze how to get into them, have a fulfilling career, earn good money, not burn out, etc. As a result, people can read this and properly analyze if it makes sense for them to try to get into jobs or universities for their own food. But with a career in AI safety, this is not the case. All the resources look out not only for the reader, but also for the whole EA project. I think this can easily burn people.
I still take these zinc lozenges when I suspect that I might fall with a common cold. I feel like they help me somewhat. Maybe my colds have been shorter since I’ve started taking Zinc but I’m not sure. I haven’t been tracking any data explicitly. I guess I’m gonna be taking Zinc for common cold as long as I don’t get further evidence about it not working.
Perhaps you can just use the international phonetic alphabet?
I don’t know how to square that with the idea that one shouldn’t ignore their crying kids. I have no idea how kids’ crying at night works. Is it possible that a parent should just suck it up and come and comfort the baby every time they cry? Maybe you can comfort her since she’s crying but not give her the reward of soothing her until she falls asleep? Is it possible that she cries at night because she’s doesn’t get enough cuddles during the day or because the room looks scary or something like that? I don’t know enough about the situation and I don’t have any kids of my own and don’t have any practical experience of dealing with them. Maybe you can be there with her in her sleeping room when she cries but still make it so that she learns to self-soothe and put herself to sleep? Like, idk, stay with her but don’t rock her to sleep or something like that.
Ok, I don’t know more than that about addressing children’s crying. I just thought that ignoring it is (almost always?) bad but I’m not sure.
Please go, study math fundamentals properly, and then come back. What you wrote doesn’t make much sense.
