This makes me wonder: China was poised to beat the US in the AI race, why .. why is it that with all their resources and government backing did a llm of chatgpt's magnitude and capability not materialize in China first?

I used to think Gary Marcus is a voice of reason in the AI field. Now I think he's just a moron shouting hoopla over and over again. Insecurity piling from his work not being relevant any more?

The human in the loop reinforcement learning paper that powered chatgpt's training arose from deepmind's experiments with boardgames (and games). AGI is still an unsolved problem and deep RL that arose from the success of deepmind's experiments wth boardgames and games so far, will likely play a huge part in it

err, I maybe hugely mistaken but is this an example of a real life of the following joke: "a scientist had this experiment going wherein everytime he rung a bell the grasshopper would jump. He clips one of the grasshopper's legs and rings the bell to see if the grasshopper would still jump and it did. He repeated the clipping process till the grasshopper had no legs. He wondered if it would still jump ... and it did not. He muttered to himself that hence that proves grasshoppers use their legs to hear"

am wondering it this is an example of a teleological thinking?

I guess that goes to show no ideology scales well either over time or space/resource

> masochist love: give no matter what, even if you are abused -unconditional love: give freely, trust in the relationship

the way you describe both lends well to the idea both are definitely not distinct things. I'm not sure how you've seem to convince yourself otherwise

ad-hoc abstraction is the secret sauce that destroys code bases in the long run and makes things horrendously complex. Composition based on mathematics is more likely to survive years of serving as atomic elements than anything based on ad-hoc human intuition

Composition is hard

OP there is a lot of potentially dangerous ideas on here. I do not know what your situation is or your mindset, but for the love of all things good and to reiterate what you already probably know. Exercise caution when lapping in these recommendations and stick to basic stuff as much as possible i.e exercise and sleep and mental exercises.

> Elm's state management paradigm was inspired by re-frame

Nope, it's the other way around

I think you'll need to be very specific about what you mean by good food. Nutrition is a shaky science. I think there's something to be said about motivation. While discipline definitely trumps motivation, I reason when you focus too much on discipline it becomes one those "problem-solving for the sake of problem-solving becomes boring pretty fast" sorta ordeals. Whatever your source of motivation is, question it.
