(This came up for this post, but seemed worth pointing out separately in its own post, so this post is mostly copied from there. I don’t consider the referenced sources here highly reliable for how exactly prey die when swallowed live, but I wasn't able to find anything better when I checked.) Predation is one of the most common ways for wild aquatic animals to die, perhaps the most common way (Dall et al., 1991 for penaeid shrimp, Hurst, 2007 for fish during the winter, Pauly & Palomares, 1989

This is a link post.Jack Clark's retrospective on GPT2 is full of interesting policy thoughts, I recommend reading the whole thing. One excerpt:I've come to believe that in policy "a little goes a long way" - it's far better to have a couple of ideas you think are robustly good in all futures and advocate for those than make a confident bet on ideas custom-designed for one specific future - especially if it's based on a very confident risk model that sits at some unknowable point in front of

Excerpt: Suzetrigine is a novel non-opioid, sodium channel painkiller with no addictive potential, from mid-size pharma company Vertex. It has shown positive results in Phase 3 and is being submitted to the FDA for approval by the end of 2024 or early 2025. Suzetrigine is roughly equivalent in pain reduction efficacy to Vicodin

May contain more technical jargon than usual.[Blog] [Paper] [Visualizer]Abstract:Sparse autoencoders provide a promising unsupervised approach for extracting interpretable features from a language model by reconstructing activations from a sparse bottleneck layer. Since language models learn many concepts, autoencoders need to be very large to recover all relevant features. However, studying the properties of autoencoder scaling is difficult due to the need

It is a comfort to realize That life will soon be over.Think of it. All that we think we areIs temporary. And yet I supposeIf you believe that you’re “all that”,Then the thought that it will soon endIs not so comforting.

It'd be great if anyone landing on the forum could have the opportunity to seamlessly translate its content into their language with the click of a button. A bit like Wikipedia, but for all languages, and powered by AI; a bit like copy-pasting the URL into Google Translate, but without copy-pasting, and with better translation. I don't know to what extent it's easy to implement into the forum, but I would have expected it wouldn't be much more complicated than the AI-generated readings of the

This is a link post. We're happy to announce EA Finland's Annual Review 2023 has been published. Reflecting on 2023, we view it as a year of stability. This was the second year EAFI had employee funding, so we had the foundational infrastructure in place. This allowed us to concentrate on enhancing our core activities while exploring new avenues. While we experienced some growth, it was not as significant as we had hoped. Out of the local groups, some grew significantly, while others encountered a
