A less efficient way to implement this under your own power would be to set a reminder to check it again in, say, a year. I use Google keep for such things all the time
Stockfish doesn't use material advantage as an approximation to winning though. It uses a complex deep learning value function that it evaluates many times.
Still, the fact that there are obvious heuristics makes that function easier to train and and makes it presumably not need an absurd number of weights.
Everyone understands a queen is worth more than a pawn. Even if you don't know the exact value of one piece relative to another, the rough estimate "a queen is worth five to ten pawns" is a lot better than not assigning value at all. I highly doubt even 20 year old chess engines or beginner projects value a queen and pawn the same.
After that, just adding up the material on both sides, without taking into account the position of the pieces at all, is a heuristic that will correctly predict the winning player on the vast majority of all possible board positions.
The gut hypothesis hype is trendy right now. There is some correlation but when things settle down, some of the effect will be attributed to "picky eating".
Proving that the source of mental disorders is the brain and not the gut (as it was believed in the distant past) is easy: 100% of patients show brain damage while a fraction of them have an abnormal gut
Exclusion of either cause directions is impossible by definition. This is science not mathematics. But saying that the primary mechanism of mental disease lies outside the brain must not contradict decades of research and simple observation (eg a small brain damage leads to a profound behavioural image while cutting 5 meters of small intestine to none)
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Why is it in so many things? Because it's effective. It's not like people smoked cigarettes because they wanted a small amount of lung cancer risk, they smoked cigarettes for a totally different effect of the product.
Part of the answer is climate and geography. It's just meaningfully different south of the US than north of the US for drug production. And this is not limited to just mexico, a lot of non-mexican-produced drugs also traffic through mexico.
I thought of this too but the high throughput of fluid to get fast cooling would require a pressure so high it would destroy the organ. Running micro tubes through the capillaries would require significant advances in materials science.
What do you reckon, tamper with the existing fluid, maybe add some heat pipes into the existing large passageways? Not sure if they have the right shape for the kind of temperature change being discussed.
That part I imagine would probably be the easy bit - just wash it out.
Or do you mean the perforated version? I like that idea but needles so small that they don't cause significant damage does seem at cross purposes with heat wicking needles.
It’s hard not to look at his departure through a cynical lens. He’s not been supportive of other critics, both from and outside of Google. He also wants to use his history to (rightfully) claim expertise and power but not to offer solutions.
I disagree. My read on him is that until very recently (i.e., possibly when GPT4 came out) he didn't take x-risks concerns seriously, or at least assumed we were still many decades away from the point where we need to worry about them.
But the abilities of the latest crop of LLMs changed his mind. And he very publicly admitted he had been wrong, which should be applauded, even if you think it took him far too long.
By quitting and saying it was because of his worries he sent a strong message. I agree it is unlikely he'll make any contributions to technical alignment, but just having such an eminent figure publicly take these issues seriously can have a strong impact.
