It says it's open source but I couldn't find where to download the weights.

How do people react to the sight of you in that mask?

Racial Dating Preferences and Sexual Racism

You should make an even bigger emphasis that this is about Asians' preferences in the US. Also, I disbelieve that feminized faces are more attractive to women. Perhaps the study you cited is erroneous in some way. Also, I didn't like so many discussions of "is this racism? is this not racism?" in the article. I think this is too judgmental and detracts from the article. However, overall, I found it an interesting read. I liked it that you posted abl bunch of plots and statistics.

If I ever decide to have kids, which is unlikely, hour blog will surely be a big part of the source of motivation.

I'm not enthusiastic about your definition of fairness. Also, I would study how fair the division of gains from this trade are.

Surprising LLM reasoning failures make me think we still need qualitative breakthroughs for AGI

I think the first puzzle would be difficult for an average human to solve unless they are good with math. Because how would you know that your solution is optimal? You can notice a theorem that if a solution never moved any piece away from its target, then it's optimal, and then realize that this puzzle does allow such a solution, but this requires to have experience with mathematical reasoning.

Feedback loops for exercise (VO2Max)
philip_b4mo*1-2

What benefits does raising VO2Max give one in normal life? I think we'll probably either die from AI in 2 to 20 years, or transform ourselves in the singularity, hence prolonging my life via improving health is not important. Thus I ask: what benefits does raising VO2Max give me now?

I think the way to learn any skill is to basically:

  1. Practice it
  2. Sleep
  3. Goto 1

And the time spent in each iteration of item 1 is capped in usefulness or at least has diminishing returns. I think this has nothing to do with frustration. Also, I think reminding yourself of the experience is not that important and I think there is no cap of 1 thing a day.

Notes on Argentina
philip_b6mo10

Ah, ok, I didn't know when exactly Milei has started being the president. I didn't pay attention to the jump. The original post said "1 year" so I counted off one year (right after the jump) and saw that the slope was smaller than before. But you're right, yeah. But I must also point out that this is the official rate and idk of anyone actually uses it.

Notes on Argentina
philip_b6mo80

Through conversations with locals, I understood why. President Milei's initial action was severely devaluing the Argentine Peso, making dollar-denominated goods more expensive.

Not true. A year ago blue dollar rate was approximately the same as now [1], and the official USD-Peso rate has been rising more slowly than before Milei. [2]
