Could you elaborate please? For those of us not familiar with Wittgenstein's work, could you link to sources depicting before and after his views changed, preferably with summaries.

I believe GP is "grandparent", referring to the post that the post you're replying to replied to. As if the reply is a descendent, and you're a descendent of the reply.

Slightly OT, but when you edit code in the REPL this way using conditions/restarts, how do you avoid getting your code out of sync with the REPL's state? It seems with a long-running REPL, you eventually run into:

- Out of order execution means we don't know what order our code should be run in to achieve the current state

- If we run some code in the REPL and never save it in a file, then our state is also out of sync

- Finally, if we redefine some code, there's no way the state can be in sync with the code if started from the beginning

How do Common Lispers typically deal with these issues for a REPL that's been running for days or weeks, short of just saving the image and never turning it off?

Worth noting is that stochastic computing devices would make reproducible experiments more difficult. For R&D, that's not a trivial thing to throw away. Indeed, one of JAX's motivations is finer control of pseudo-randomness for reproducibility of experiments.

What are the advantages of GA over regular linear algebra in practice? Can you create better neural nets or faster graph search algorithms? What is the draw, computationally?

The privacy policy / terms is clear that while they don't share data with third parties, they help themselves to the data for their own models. Misleading of them to leave that off in their FAQ. And it's opt-out, not opt-in.

They compared human cells to mouse cells, showing improved performance for the human cells.

I find the explanation that he's acting to be an even better explanation.

He's swapping billets and claiming the swapped billet is what Simon originally wrote. Simon is amazed because he was just told he would find himself confused, and he is, since the fake billet is written in his handwriting (forged). Which is the simpler explanation, sleight of hand and handwriting forgery, or hypnotic memory implantation spanning several days?

I'd love to read your PhD thesis and papers! I'm also an AI researcher, currently doing a Master's in something else, but compositionality and representation learning is very interesting to me.

I've never made a comment on HN commenting on someone else's tone, but I've seen this exact response, word for word, a lot recently on many posts. I don't like this trend. I find it to be adversarial and in bad faith. Suppose they did read the article. Are they likely to reply to you defending themselves? Next time, please address the actual content of their comment instead.

What do you mean by uncensorable? What does censorship have to do with sanctions hurting innocent economic participants?
