I have read similar comments to yours before. So how do I know your comment isn't just remixed from what you read before?

They might behave like ChatGPT when queried about the seahorse emoji, which is very similar to an existential crisis.

There actually was quite a lot of suggestion that thoughts work like autocomplete. A lot of it was just considered niche, e.g. because the mathematical formalisms were beyond what most psychologist or even cognitive scientists would deem us

Look up predictive coding theory. According to that theory, what our brain does is in fact just autocomplete. However, what it is doing is layered autocomplete on itself. I.e. one part is trying to predict what the other part will be produc

Tests usually do measure the speed. And often they should. But the question here is "the speed of what?". And how do you measure the speed without also measuring the speed of something else as an error? If you just want to measure

Test theory is a very complex topic within psychology. But there is a lot of insight that you can gain into this based on psychological test theory. One Problem is, that we first have to clearly define the construct that we want to measure

Well, that is kind of what we do. We look at the range of lengths that is typical for legs. And all these get to compete under typical conditions. Now let's say someone has a leg length that is fairly outside of the typical range. Let&

Just letting the cars set the light would not work for some of the plans with autonomous cars. Currently with cars you need green-red periods. But some researchers are considering scenarios, where in the future the cars just reserve the int

Yes, it should definitely be in the 400 space of HTML error codes. As 400 -> "You are incorrect" while 500 -> "We messed up".

These "maddeningly repetitive questions" are exactly the internal issues that are being talked about. If they ask "why not" just let them ask. It's not your job as a parent to 1) make sure your children are happy al

There is some research that goes in the opposite direction. I.e. that especially in german the lack gender in the word for girls ("das Mädchen") is actually quite problematic and can lead to girls not thinking they really have a g

Yes, this is very common. Autistic people can easily go into meltdown if they loose an object that they assign emotional states to. In severe cases it can be sufficient if the object is slightly moved to trigger a meltdown, and there are re

Not at the same rates, but at higher rates than the general population and even stronger: """ Together, our results indicate that object personification occurs commonly among autistic individuals, and perhaps more often (and

Interesting that you use some kind of schizophrenia axis. There is actually some scientists that hypothesize schizophrenia and autism are exact opposites of each other. It's call the predictive coding hypothesis of autism. In essence t

Both is true depending on who you ask. That distinction between "men care about objects while women care about people" can be researched at early childhood. There are very vocal feminists who claim this is a direct sign of strong

I would rather dismiss her point on the basis, that from my perspective this may be true for a small niche of academics that focus specifically on programming language formalisms. When I studied programming language during my university tim

But you are assuming 0.3... is the representation of 1/3. We don't have to make this assumption, it's just the one we are usually taught. Math doesn't really break from making different assumptions, quite the opposite. L

I still think that the distinction is very important. With standard math (e.g. real numbers) we obviously have 0.9999... = 1 and this is actually very easy to prove using the assumptions that you are taught during high school math. However,

In several areas DOS is still used for stuff that requires no other tasks run simultaneously. This can be used to achieve some kind of near realtime capabilities. E.g. eyetrackers used in psychology studies or tests often still require DOS,

So was the research on vaccines causing autism. It was still nonesense, as peer review is not a perfect method of quality assurance and even scientist are subject to biases and to trying to get their beliefs justified.

I'd say because psychologically (and also based on CS Theory) creating something and verifying draw from similar but also unrelated skills. It's like NP. Solving an NP problem is very hard. Verifying that the solution is correct i

I wouldn't just call this "shifting your eggs from one basket into another". One of the baskets is on fire, because people decided to light it on fire. So we are also telling these people, that we are really not willing to ac

Unconditional love is not the same as unconditional trust or unconditional relationship. You can leave someone you still love, if they did not meet what you desire out of the relationship. That would still be unconditional love. But with un

Being loved conditionally by your partner is OK, as long at the conditions are those that you are willing to fulfill out of free choice. Being loved conditional has a very thin line to coercive control, though, and this gets easily into abu

It would be interesting how many programmers use VI or Emacs to build these "modern" slick interfaces and fail to understand the irony of this approach.
