What a hilariously fact- and understanding-free piece of ragebait.

...and if you had actually seen our ballot for this primary, you'd know that anyone with a semblance of care to know who they were voting for and why constituted veritable weeks of legwork. The governor's race had like 60 people r

As someone who took both a 4 year latin curriculum and a year of koine Greek in HS: unqualified no. Really wish I were fluent in Spanish or Japanese or really anything spoken.

You got a bad/dry one. Happens all the time with home grown and less frequently with commercial products. My backyard trees have improved, but only with fairly intensive upkeep. The flavor coming right off the tree can be truly candy-l

I'll pick a bone on the flavor comment because a good Washington Navel is probably one of the best tasting oranges in existence.

It's the pervasive theme in the book, but never really given a conceptual grounding further than "this sort of looks like recursion or can be modelled circularly so it's a strange loop". The vagueness of it reveals itsel

It's only a little bit comforting that computers still live in meatspace when you consider something like an AI-controlled Metal Gear roaming around though.

I see it's still the season of perpetual hope wherever you are...

Yeah, but there's nothing like some sweet, sweet justification.

The author disclaims that he's not a homeowner at the very end of the article, but these types of pieces steelmanning renting always read to me as thinly veiled pleas of "please exit the market so I can have more".

Someone must have a wild-ass theorem about whether or not consciousness is representable as some distribution over possible realities. But yeah, I agree this feels like taking a huge step towards fewer and fewer people having agency in the

Sure, but one wishes that it didn't need to arrive on the back of a face-to-face encounter with his own mortality. That understanding of a shared humanity is accessible in other ways, though cancer diagnoses do have a way of shoving it

I would love to have such a model tell me how to prune my fruit trees as they grow up. Should be a fairly straightforward supervised problem with the right front end for the graph generation.

That's what a Bungalow Court is all about. They're kind of a dying breed, but have previously been very popular here in LA County.

Totally a mischaracterization. On one hand an imperfect crisis response, on the other hand, a brazen, unforced error.

|such intelligence isn't really a bottleneck today. Yep, pretty much agree. As soon as I see LLMs start solving millennium problems one after another I might change my tune. The bottleneck is much more likely to be people unwilling to

Everyone's life will be better than anyone's life is now? That is some impressively breathless optimism. I dunno Sam, groceries have gotten awfully expensive.

> Back in 1979, for example, I’d invented the idea of transformations for symbolic expressions as a foundation for computational language. Right, so math then. You invented math.

Don't trust changing your card either. I had a predatory LA Fitness membership. When they made me jump through one too many hoops to cancel, I called up WF and had them issue me a new card (Visa). Well, Visa, in their infinite wisdom,

Care to relate some of them? My mom was a high school math teacher, my dad is a physicist and I had a STEM education, so math pedagogy is near and dear to me.

The i3 I've been driving around has been a complete revelation. It's an older model with a worn-out small battery. It usually claims to have 52mi range when it's topped up in the morning. Realistically, I can only use about 4

Probably horseradish which, incidentally, is also a member of the mustard/cabbage family. If you make mustard from scratch you will note that raw mustard seeds have a very horseradish-like flavor as well.

Not going to downvote you because I appreciate your position. It seems really unlikely that tuna consumption is driving obesity or detrimental health effects though. Sushi lovers (and meat eaters) such as myself do need to make educated ch

That's all true, but I liked his solution of using an IR sensor for the sync. It was so cool how he was able to rotate the display by changing the position of his finger. No guessing involved.

To piggyback on this: I've disassembled a 2nd gen Axiom 25 for research purposes. It's a pretty industry standard entry-level semi-weighted keyboard with decent controller capability. The keyboard and other buttons are implemente

I mean, I'm not sure what else you'd literally do with it. Simulating the claimed 8 qubits would require not much classical processing power at all, unless there is something fundamental about the TRNG behavior/fidelity of
