The experience of total war was shocking to people born in the late 1800s. Whole swaths of life, previously off limits by convention, were now fully militarized. Today? Born in the late 1900s, I don’t think we’ve thought enough about what a state of total cyberwar may look like.

You can say all of my inspiration comes from the big guy himself

After years of floundering, I think I'm finally getting it: You get energy by spending it. The fuel tank metaphor is completely misleading. The body supplies energy to meet demand. The tank *expands* if you use a lot of fuel. In other words, biology is fundamentally antifragile

6 months of turbo correlation, yikes. dont get psyopsed into thinking that you are trading bitcoin when you load your crypto exchange website. you are trading us index derivatives.

I have files on my desktop that hold all the information I've collected. I know your pseudonym, where you live and what you might be doing right now. Every waking moment of my life is completely engrossed in you and your life. I hope you do not mind. I do this because I love you.

Perhaps the most misunderstood idea in the "empirical" sciences is that a correlation of 90% is closer to 0 than 1. We shd train students to *visualize* rather than absorb formulas nonprobabilist statisticians can't understand. (See my comment on IQ) academia.edu/39797871/Foole…

LOMO optimizes PyTorch by fusing the optimizer update with the backward pass. This fusion eliminates temporary gradient storage, reducing memory* usage 3x compared to SGD with activation checkpointing! *caveats; see below 1/8 x.com/_akhaliq/statu…

In 1956, Kurt Godel wrote to John Von Neumann a letter describing the implications for a machine that searches for finite proofs to mathematical statements efficiently, avoding the halting problem. An Artificial General Intelligence would be such a machine.

"Free IVF, folks, it's all going to be free. And we're bringing in a very smart guy to help with that. Steve Hsu. HSU. Pronounced like Shoe but not spelled. HSU. We're gonna select those embryos. Only the best. We might—we might even edit them..."

I'm excited to announce a new project: "Algorithmic Lens" For the first post, check out "A Deep Dive into Modern Deep Learning: An Extensive Reading List for Experts of other fields" at algorithmiclens.substack.com/p/a-deep-dive-…

FOCUS proposes a new building block compatible with all(!) existing optimizers, improving stability and accelerating convergence! TL;DR: Use L1 Weight Decay to EMA x.com/YizhouLiu0/sta…
