I like the idea! Now you're just left with the dilemma of what happens when you reach many people with it - will Scrappy be made for thousands of users, polished and flashy?

I agree, but there are also cases where it is blatantly clear that companies are not only on Trumps side but taking initiative themselves to corrode our political culture, and people here in europe are too comfy to make a switch, apart from

I'm sorry but it sounds like you were trying to spread conspiracy theories, the way you are putting it. Do you have some examples?

In comparing neural networks to brains it seems like you are implying a relation between the size/complexity of a thinking machine and the reasonability of its thinking. This gives us nothing, because it disregards the fundamental diff

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke... I've been wanting to read that too! Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell has been one of my favorite and most immersive books, absolutely brilliant! Too bad Susanna Clarke got CFS, a very ill researched illness

Timeshift does not work for me because I encrypted my ssd, decrypt on boot, but linux sees every file twice, once encrypted and once decrypted, thinking that my storage is full, and thus timeshift refuses to make backups due to no storage.

Many commenters here seem to be hostile towards philosophy. Heres a take for you: This is only a paradox if you think of language as a way of describing some "real", static state of affairs in the world (look up " corresponde

Human creativity turns into a point on that curve. One mission of art is to find a different dimension, out of the curves reach, until eventually it becomes more common and the curve can be fitted to it again. AI cannot think outside of t

I'm in the following camp: It is wrong to think about the world or the models as "complex systems" that may or may not be understood by human intelligence. There is no meaning beyond that which is created by humans. There is

I agree. Saying that "the establishment is pro fraud" is not helping at all, because conforming with such a simple label will make us blind to the actual reasons why fraud occurs. It is not that all fraudulent scientists are part

Would you say that GPT-4 can reason now? I am not convinced this is case, it seems like it has just become more consistent at providing us with an output that we consider reasonable because it was engineered precisely to do that.

The way that you put it here makes it sound like you have trust issues more than a solid understanding of how democracies (like actual democracies) work and how decisions are made in them.

I played and enjoyed the game, getting the hang of it quickly. What confused me though was that the tapping sounds were not always that consistent with the cutting and mainly that from the beat it sometimes felt like a rhythm game that make

This is because knowledge is related to its application. It never stands for itself. The reason why we research something is because it helps us to solve a problem or do something, and thus the context is important. I quite like the definit

The coffe shop reserving my place and having my order ready before I arrive sounds nice - but is it not an innecessary luxury, that I would not miss had I never even thought of its possibility? I never asked for it, I was ready to stand in

It's good at presenting existing arguments in a good way. But the problem is that such models can only give back what they have seen, consolidating the status quo. There can be no reflection and no outside of the box thinking.

In my perspective this derives from the fact that "knowledge" itself is not some abstract, immaterial thing in the brain , but rather thinking and knowing works through the body and the practical application. Hence the saying &qu

I agree that there is a lot of blabla and that is not beneficial to anyone. But sometimes things that may seem as blabla actually may not be. You say that you care about technical information and every paragraph should contain some. But th

Separation of politics from economy is an impossibilty, and the company that you are describing is only turning a blind eye to its responsibilities to society. You want to make profit the only relevant variable, denying any moral or politi

The argument that everything got more complex and bugs are harder to find now, so fun is avoided, does seem convincing, but I believe it does not account for everything. For a philosophical take: the kind of positive effects that easter egg

Not a fan of grabbing into the 'ole anti-communist propaganda box. I'm not saying communism is a great ideology, I'm saying that we are far from bolshevism, and calling people that have gotten used to fighting privilege and h

More often than not its "take this abusive offer or starve to death". Not much of a choice there. The way I see it, what you're describing is an outdated ideology, which does not apply in practice in most parts of the world,

I'm sure you're right. But it makes no difference, because when the facial recognition is applied, I think the likelyhood that people will have the same "grooming cues" as they do in their profile pictures is pretty high
