The primary issue with this is the way shares and equity work. Elon Musk is a trillionaire on paper. He pays himself famously little. That net worth is, under our current system, tightly linked with his interest and control in his various e

A generous read of this comment might be that you did catch it internally in testing AFTER it shipped but shrugged it off as something you'd patch in the next release in a week or two. Is that what you meant here? Or that it was caught

Well, if you personally were building von Neumann machines do any purpose in the solar system, would YOU be interested in sending some to neighboring systems knowing that you could conceivably get a response in your lifetime. Would you be a

Hi there. Right now they are going to a separate git repo, yes. Like this: local-governor/epics/e-epics/e014-clinical-domain-model/runs/run-e014-01-ops-catalog-20260302-173907-244c82 - Attempts + Steps - Step 1

Here’s how I do the same thing, just with a slightly different wrapper: I’m running my own stepwise runtime where agents are plugged into defined slots. I’ll usually work out the big decisions in a chat pane (sometimes a couple panes) until

I think this one way of looking at what your parent was describing. They weren’t just saying ‘AI writes the boilerplate for me.’ They were saying: once you’ve written the same glue the 3rd, 4th, 5th time, you can start folding that pattern

I had a very similar experience, watching it at Japanese camp when I was about 8. I had recurring dreams of a ship going down into a poison jungle for many years and vague memories of this movie. I found it again when mail order Netflix fir

My (not a lawyer) understanding is "no", because Microsoft is not administering the model (making available the chatbot and history logging), not retaining chats (typically, unless you configure it specifically to do this), and an

Yes this is a reasonable way to misunderstand given the way we refer to “hard sciences” and “soft sciences”, but it does not map to the terms “hard scifi” and “soft scifi” in common usage. It’s not exactly about rules consistency either as

You’re getting downvoted because chess is 2D, not 3D. The pieces only move on a flat plane. 3D chess exists and pieces move up and down as well.

Research anecdote here. I’m a psychologist in a different area and a friend who did his PhD in cocaine research with rats told me this. Addiction is highly dependent on the immediacy of the drug’s effect on the brain. For this reason, peopl

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it's called the metric system because the values were derived from the meter. Decimal time has nothing to do with the meter, and "decimal" refers to it being base 10.

This isn't totally true. Mass and volume measurements were indeed derived from the meter. A gram is a cubic centimeter of water. A liter is 1/1000 of a cubic meter. Apparently Celsius is derived from Kelvin (really just translated

If we’re talking about clarity I think there’s some merit to the claim. It has tense markers that English lacks which buys you information in the conjugation about tense, gender and speaker. And unlike other Latin languages you aren’t able

Yes, I am always worried about prequels for that reason, but I think I enjoyed this one more than the original. They are really very different in scope and story as you said, and the bittersweet quality of the connection between the two boo

I thought it was referring to the planet being "deep" in the sense of being in one of the lower zones of thought. And the Fire was the conflict of galaxy-spanning import that was playing out there. But maybe there was more to it?

Just curious, where do you see an AI therapist? Is there a site or service that you like?

Thanks for saying this. It's really heartening to see people with this understanding. So typically there's a lot of exposure, facilitation, and processing work FIRST. There's not really a route to forgiveness in my opinion un

It’s simply an example, though a somewhat extreme one, of the problem with the GP’s generalization. I think it actually relates to the original article. There’s a difference between mere interpretation and what actually happened. “You shoul

Oof, as a psychologist that deals a lot with people who were abused and mistreated, this is a pretty big generalization. Yes, as we age we come to see things from a more experienced perspective and the perspectives of the adults we grew up

I agree with this point. I hadn't meant to suggest that we should discard information received from others. But I think it would be crazy to not to differentiate between immediate experience and what we've been told. Not even beca

Yes, I agree that “interpretation is all we have” is the point they are trying to make. I also agree that there is an important point there. Memories are often not what we think they are. However, in the story, the author did NOT have a mem

I think the article is sending a pretty problematic overall message. The underlying story is somewhat interesting. The author went through life with a lot of unnecessary guilt and suffering because he was carrying around a false narrative,

It’s very clear from the article that they actually value the work and do NOT want to destroy it. The problem is that they feel obligated to protect it from vandals and thieves. As mentioned elsewhere, the whole thing may be essentially mar

Also the implication that the digital equivalent of adding entire new lines (new products, new features, or new backend infrastructure, I guess?) is just a "click of a mouse" glosses over the large amount of work that goes into so

Change my mind? I hadn't meant to make a value judgement about their progress. How could I not knowing how long they've studied? My comment was about the current level of their French. It's in the elementary range A1-A2, with

The post in French did not mention how long they had been studying. That came in a later comment, so that wasn't part of my thinking. I think you're right that B1 in a year would require more work than a casual 2 classes per week.

You asked if your French was good, so here you go. I have some experience with French standardized testing. I had to pass a B2 (upper intermediate) exam for Canadian immigration and a C1 (lower advanced) exam for my professional license in
