An O(n) algorithm (including random sketching) to check out the posters is no longer feasible! Does anyone know a sublinear algorithm for retrieval/learning from an unsorted knowledge base? #NeurIPS2023

🙏🏼 Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, wisdom to know the difference, and restraint to avoid getting into fights with people about absolutely any of it on Twitter

Christopher Hitchens, in conversation with Elizabeth Wasserman, 2002 theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
I think Hannah Arendt said that one of the great achievements of Stalinism was to replace all discussion involving arguments and evidence with the question of motive. If someone were to say, for example, that there are many people in the Soviet Union who don't have enough to eat, it might make sense for them to respond, "It's not our fault, it was the weather, a bad harvest or something." Instead it's always, "Why is this person saying this, and why are they saying it in such and such a magazine? It must be that this is part of a plan."

Fairness, social justice, and employment security are not distractions from human existential safety; they are supposed to be part of the solution. Calling these "short term issues" is dismissive and elides their urgency for steering humanity toward a safe and acceptable future.

What is off-belief learning and how does it help us build agents that coordinate only in grounded ways ? Part 1 of a new blog series on intuitive summaries of key ideas in multi-agent RL: eugenevinitsky.github.io/pos…

Aran Komatsuzaki giving walkthroughs of the codeRL paper before the author arrives. After 10 minutes of SBFing his way into answering poster questions he revealed he was not the author and everyone lost their mind (Poster 138 #NeurIPS2022)

How do you measure the distance between two reward functions? Our EPIC distance is invariant to reward shaping, can be approximated efficiently, and is predictive of policy training success and transfer! New paper with @MichaelD1729 @janleike et al. arxiv.org/abs/2006.13900

Excited to share our work @iclr_conf: deep RL policies can be attacked by another agent taking actions that create natural adversarial observations. (1/5) Blog: bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2020/… Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=HJgE… Videos: adversarialpolicies.github.i… Code: github.com/humancompatibleai…

Here is a beautiful drawing of the structure of Radium atom by Niels Bohr in 1922. Niels Bohr won the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his work on the structure of atoms. He described the atom as a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by waves of electrons.
