Ralph Adolphs Korrent 17 Aug Functionally defined emotions can be attributed to animals and, to some extent, to AI systems, without any claim about what either of them feels. well but again these are functionally defined emotions and there's I think there's no problem assigning to AI to some extent and certainly to many animals uh those functional emotions
Peter Steinberger Korrent 10 Aug How much fun you are having is a measure of how fast you ship: the weeks he enjoyed building, the product visibly got better.

Lip-Bu Tan Korrent 18 Jun AI factories and foundries are too capital-intensive for venture money; they need government or sovereign funds behind them.

Phil Hagelberg Korrent 31 Dec 2023 Lua functions have no true names, since only the variable or field holding them does, making every Lua function effectively anonymous. In a subtle but very real sense, every Lua function is an anonymous function.
Bryan Caplan Korrent 12 Mar 2025 Funding education does not make a country rich; being rich is what makes a country fund education lavishly. Lavishly funding education doesn’t cause countries to become rich; being rich causes countries to lavishly fund education.
Brendan Gregg Recommends 24 May 2025 Just For Fun — Linus Torvalds Just For Fun - Linus Torvalds (Harper, 2002)
Lilian Weng Korrent 28 Nov 2024 It is fundamentally difficult to design a reward function that accurately captures the intended goal in reinforcement learning. Reward hacking exists because RL environments are often imperfect, and it is fundamentally challenging to accurately specify a reward function.
Christopher Olah Korrent 3 Sept 2015 The connection between representations and types may be fundamentally significant, akin to links among geometry, logic, topology and functional programming. The known connection between geometry, logic, topology, and functional programming suggests that the connections between representations and types may be of fundamental significance.
Anil Seth Korrent 13 Apr For IIT to fit with current successful theories in fundamental physics, a reformulation in terms of continuous fields would be needed.

Demis Hassabis Korrent 23 Jul 2025 Information is the most fundamental unit of the universe, more fundamental than energy or matter. And it sort of fits with the way I think about physics in general, which is that I think information is primary, information is the most sort of fundamental unit of the universe, more fundamental than energy and matter.
Andrew Chen Mixed on 3 Jan 2024 Tokyo Vice — Jake Adelstein it’s fun but I think a lot of it probably made up. Still fun.
Guillermo Rauch Korrent 13 Jul 2015 An application's user interface should be defined as a pure function of its state. The fundamental idea I want to discuss is the definition of an application’s UI as a pure function of application state.
Dan Wang x.com 21 Nov 2025 A fun depiction from Chosun Ilbo
Sara Walker Korrent 13 Jun 2024 What physics calls fundamental is not fundamental at all — it is only the boundary of what our current technology can observe. So what’s fundamental, the way we talk about it in current physics is not actually fundamental, it’s the boundaries of what we can observe in our universe, what we can see with our technology.

Cal Henderson x.com 12 Sept 2023 This is so much fun!
Jian Sun Korrent 10 Dec 2015 A layer should learn a residual with reference to its own input rather than an unreferenced function, which is what makes great depth trainable. We explicitly reformulate the layers as learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of learning unreferenced functions.
Kaiming He Korrent 10 Dec 2015 A layer should learn a residual with reference to its own input rather than an unreferenced function, which is what makes great depth trainable.

Bret Victor Loved 6 Nov 2024 Amusing Ourselves to Death — Neil Postman Form limits function.
Bill Ackman Korrent 20 Feb 2024 Almost no mutual fund earns the fees it charges, so most investors are better off buying an index fund. There are very few that earn their keep in terms of the fees they charge. They tend to be too diversified and too short-term. And you're often much better off just buying an index fund.
Ilya Sutskever Korrent 25 Nov 2025 The human value function is extraordinarily robust — addiction aside — which is why a person can judge their own performance at a skill they have only just started. They have a general sense which is also by the way extremely robust in people like whatever it is the human value function whatever the human value function is with a few exceptions around addiction it's actually very…
Samo Burja Korrent 9 Jul 2018 A functioning institution is a rare exception and never grows by itself: it was assembled by a founder with good judgement. And just as a tornado cannot assemble a Boeing 747 by passing through a junkyard, functional institutions are not spontaneously generated. The machinery, if it functions, was assembled by someone with good judgment: the…
Buck Shlegeris Korrent 7 May 2024 Control is a fundamentally limited approach that stops working on sufficiently powerful models, so alignment is still needed in the end. AI control (with only black-box techniques) seems like a fundamentally limited approach.
Olivier Blanchard Korrent 1 Jun 2022 Low interest rates reflect underlying fundamental economic factors rather than central bank policy choices. In other words, central banks are not to blame for low rates: these low rates just reflect underlying fundamental factors.
Ilya Sutskever Korrent 25 Nov 2025 Value functions only make reinforcement learning faster: anything you can do with one you can also do without it, just more slowly. I want to like emphasize that I think the value function is something like it's going to make RL more efficient and I think that makes a difference but I think that anything you can do with a value function you can do…
Samo Burja Korrent 3 Aug 2018 When a functioning organisation dies, capital that cannot be sold or transferred dies with it. Functioning firms are repositories of many kinds of capital that cannot be liquidated, and when they die, it is destroyed.
Chris Blattman Korrent 14 Mar 2014 Cash transfers are the index fund of development: the benchmark every actively managed aid programme should have to beat. You can think of cash transfers like the index fund of development (making GiveDirectly the Vanguard).
Derek Lowe Korrent 19 Sept 2024 Most proteins have no known function, so there is no pile of solid data for a model to learn most of cell biology from. Most proteins are essentially unannotated, with their functions completely or mostly unknown.

Kelsey Hightower GitHub 26 May 2024 run — Package run provides helper functions for building Cloud Run applications.
Dylan Field Korrent 16 Oct 2025 Fun can be a product's differentiator, even when the team thinks that is an absurd thing to compete on. The team was like what we're gonna make fun our differentiator and in retrospect it was absolutely the right move.
Elliot Hershberg Newsletter 29 Jun 2025 What Are Virtual Cells?
Bryan Caplan Korrent 19 Feb 2025 The main function of education is signalling rather than building skill, so subsidising it mostly inflates credentials. Since signaling, not building human capital, is the main function of education, the main effect of government subsidies is credential inflation.

Alexey Guzey Korrent 15 Aug 2019 Short-termism and a lack of funding for young scientists are smaller problems in academia than outsiders assume. Parts that seem to be less of a problem than I initially thought: short-termism; lack of funding for young scientists.
Dan Luu Mixed on 1 Oct 2016 Purely Functional Data Structures — Chris Okasaki Fun to work through, but, unlike the other algorithms and data structures books, I've yet to be able to apply anything from this book to a problem domain where performance really matters.
Sabine Hossenfelder Papers 1 Jun 2022 The wave function as a true ensemble
Tim Sweeney Korrent 30 Apr 2025 The malaise in the game industry needs no complicated theory: the games that failed recently simply were not fun enough to compete with everything else in people's lives. And when you look at a lot of the games that failed recently, they just didn't deliver fun or they didn't deliver fun in a manner that was nearly competitive with the other sources of fun just in people's lives. And so…
Philip Pullman Loved 15 Jul 2021 The Jeeves Omnibus - Vol 1 — P. G. Wodehouse I read it because it was a book, and books were fun. I thought it was terrific. Really wonderfully funny. I've gone on thinking that for the subsequent 60 years or so.
Jonathan Haidt Loved 27 Jul 2010 Stumbling on Happiness — Daniel Gilbert The Gilbert book is just so much fun to read. He's one of the funniest people, certainly in psychology – he's just endlessly witty, and reading it is like strapping yourself into a roller coaster.
Samo Burja Korrent 9 Jul 2018 Repairing a dysfunctional institution is harder than building a functional one from scratch, because its internal forces resist change and the dysfunction is hard to diagnose in the first place. It is much more difficult to make a dysfunctional institution functional than to create a functional institution from scratch; institutions will nearly always have internal forces that resist change, and diagnosing…
