𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 2My brothers & sisters in Alexandria: there are those who have not heard the google news of the salvific http trinity of Sci-Hub/LibGen/MagzDB, wandering in paying darkness. Our duty is to bring them the link, and download their fulltext souls from the DBil & archives of the eon.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 15As Davie has cowardly blocked replies, I will point out that (not that it really matters at this point) that besides BO=20, uncertainty prompts are a thing (since July 2020) and do work: lesswrong.com/posts/ADwayvun…

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 20For those who disagree: it's been over a year since twitter.com/gwern/status/1… . With an additional year of hindsight & diffusion of results, can you meet that challenge? As Fermi said, "where are they?"

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 5Shape-rotator/wordcel in a screenshot: he has taken a straightforward question (is a PM tech) and replaced it with a superficially similar question (who is higher-status) and gave a wrong & irrelevant answer; but everyone reading it thinks he won and it reinforces higher status.
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 25They probably wouldn't be that surprised because they specifically wrote the Constitution to make that possible by outlawing litmus tests for the supreme court (Article V, clause 3), in addition to the First Amendment thing & states like Pennsylvania founded on religious freedom.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 15If the demand was really that high, then that means it also subsidized a lot of fab capacity building: increased demand increases prices in the short run but increases supply in the long run.
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 27Considering how sloppy Graeber was when I checked some of his claims, and that Dawn of Everything is apparently even sloppier, I will assume until proven otherwise that these 'sites' were just made up by some Slavic nationalists in 1920 or something like that.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 16Incredible absence of You-again Schmidhuber here. (He's at the "AGI will happen very soon and might replace us all and this is good because it's Evolution™" point.)
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 22Makes sense to me. Presumably bad actors would simply use the best available, which can be copied infinitely; adding a #2 doesn't help them much more, if at all, while still enabling research and comparison etc.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 24Today's serendipitous discovery: the New Yorker appears to expose their original CMS markup of articles in metadata.
It's lousy: a bastardized Markdown, with '+++' prefixes for inflexible directives like dropcaps, & they have to manually add lozenges & trailing whitespace (?!). pic.twitter.com/VjOKo7OFxV
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernJun 23Nah. Just wait until someone figures out the equivalent of StyleGAN/BigGAN's psi truncation trick for autoregressive/diffusion models, and then you'll get much better meme potential from high-quality extreme outliers rather than accidental assemblages of junk pixels.
