Reviews online that are trustworthy. I’ve been travelling a lot and hotel reviews require some intelligence to determine trust. e.g. someone who says ‘the lady at the front desk was rude to me, and they had bed bugs’.. well that basically means they felt insulted by the person at the front desk and the bed bug thing is probably just the worst thing they can imagine saying.

I want a better way to eliminate any of the hindrances to having productive relationships with people I would respect if I could find them.
I’m glad that this article makes efforts to assure us that lawyers continue to have job safety. It would be horrible to lose those high paying jobs to a superior and near-free alternative.
I wouldn’t have been able to guess the date this speech was given. The major outline seems 10 years old.
Theft? Inferior Service?
I’m having a hard time guessing what this could be that you couldn’t just look for someone with better references (or spend a bit more).
My wireless mouse is driving me fucking nuts with it’s stuttering randomly across the screen.
I’m surprised posts like this are not more commonly discussed around here.
Will Newsome is somewhere between Eliezer and a recursively self-improving AI.
Arguing against god(s) circa 9 years of age or so.
You could probably mad words any two buzz words together though. How about quantum rationality?
I wonder if he let his teammates know this at the time. They are unlikely to approve and then what would he do. I’d wager this was more about creating drama around him and his team than studying the opponent. I’ve done this kind of thing in online multiplayer contexts, and the feedback you receive from this is substantially more weighted to your own team than the opponents.
That’s on my list of things I didn’t expect to see today.
a set of tools for morphological disambiguation, shallow parsing, named entity recognition, sentence alignment and such
Is that made easier by the fact that in Hungarian they prefix each word with it’s type? .
I’m going with this commenter being Will. What do I win?
recaptures a (badly obfuscated and possibly overfit) variant of it.
How do you overfit Kepler’s law?
edit: Retracted. I see now looking at the actual link the result wasn’t just obfuscated but wrong, and so the manner in which it’s wrong can overfit of course (and that matches the results).
Using a high-powered black-box technique to regress a one-dimensional continuous outcome against a one-dimensional continuous predictor seems misguided.
I don’t get this. You could have a rather complicated generator for this data set. A simple regression would imply the data points were independent, but the value at time T may have [likely has] a relation to value at T-3. So it seems a good problem to me.
I had an 80$ logitech keyboard (the illuminating short-stroke like a notebook variety), and when it began to deteriorate I swapped it with a 10$ Walmart special that was a slightly curved Microsoft one. I had been playing around on this typing speed site and was surprised to find that on the 5th attempt I had beaten my previous record with this new keyboard.
If I had a variety of keyboards at my disposable I think it would be an interesting exercise to test them in this fashion.
I frequently find Will’s contributions obscurantist.
The same word came to mind, and it’s common to his history of interactions, so seeing it here means I ascribe it to him rather than the logic of whatever underlying purpose he may have on this occasion.
If your goal is to lower your credibility, why do that in the context of talking about credibility?
Prediction is intelligence. Why is there not more discussion about stock picks here? Is it low status? Does everyone believe in strong forms of efficient market ?
