Effective Altruists: look, we *tried* to invite nice people as well as the huge racists we knew were huge racists when we invited them. What? Exclude the racists? But they're so *interesting!*
  • I don't want to come and help "balance out" someone who thinks that using they/them pronouns is worse than committing genocide.

    Does anyone really think this, or are you just using hyperbole?

    Not hyperbole. Hanania, Manifest promoted speaker, wrote "Why Do I Hate Pronouns More Than Genocide?" in May 2022.

    I just can't, it's like that one scene from Austin Powers.

  • I think there is in fact a notion of continuous entropy where that is actually true, and it does appear to be used in statistical mechanics (but I am not a physicist). But there are clearly a lot of technical details which have been scrubbed away by the LW treatment.

  • Devin, the obviously fake "AI Developer", turns out to be fake
  • the task the AI solves is writing test cases for finding the Least Common Multiple modulo a number.

    Looking at the image of the prompt, it looks more like a CRT computation to me.

    It’s famously much easier to verify modulo arithmetic than it is to actually compute it.

    It's not particularly difficult to compute CRT, though it is definitely trivial to verify the result afterwards. I'm not sure I'd agree that that's a general fact about modular arithmetic computations though.
