Philosophically I really like the idea in terms of how I'd like to work. If they are paying for a data processing node then they can have that. It won't stop me from being a human, and it could give me more time to get on with my

Have you tried giving Codex instructions on how to hack a solution together? (Maybe it would be a waste of time.)

Or even those who work in sewers spend much of their time covered in sewage, so it's fair that everyone else does too.

This is where a scientific approach to measuring opinions and experiences of multiple people would help. Peter Hotez has not demonstrated such an approach and has instead provided a possibly exaggerated and unproven anecdote as an input int

Indeed. My point is that this sets a standard for what is considered 'effective' and if it falls short of that standard, those who say it's 'ineffective' by that unrealistic standard, that is still correct. Somethin

It's been in the works for years. Very good in some ways, a bit rough round the edges though, but it's time I make a substantial demo, docs and marketing website for it. SSR was built into it from the start.

The article was both about attacks on scientists and attacks on science itself. My view disagrees with that of Peter Hotez, as I think that science should be vigorously attacked, especially by trying to disprove all kinds of scientific thin

'ineffective' and 'effective' do not have very strict definitions. Something could be ineffective compared to how effective it was presented as being, such as the recent COVID vaccine. Here is one example of Joe Biden sp

In my view it definitely is worth engaging. In order for people to get vaccinated they need to give informed consent. In order for people to give informed consent they need to understand the risks and rewards of getting a vaccine. Arguably

There are two political gains we should coordinate our attacks to achieve: Better vaccines (safer, more powerful) A more informed public regarding vaccines

I never said that my ideal video hosting website would lack moderation. Ideally I would have control (which I can delegate) over moderation rather than someone I disagreed with, and not have to spend much time or effort on moderation either

No, in my view Youtube can not do whatever they like with this kind of thing, at least as far as my potential outrage is concerned. If Youtube gives a false reason (to me as well as others) about the reason for demonetising someone then I h

Here is the problem with that: Apple would have a public-facing online search engine. The article addresses the advantages for Apple of having Safari users use Apple's search engine, but does not mention what the strategy would be for

I find it just a little surprising that the former Twitter COVID 'misinformation' policy prohibited sharing details concerning the different vulnerabilities between the young and the old. I'd think that an analysis of what in

I know that. When talking about language and script transmission it makes more sense in my view to talk about Phoenicians rather than Carthaginians, unless there is any specific linguistic difference such as dialect that needs to be taken i

Society encouraging people to take ownership of their actions and consequences is also part of how that would take place.

1) Why Carthaginian rather than Phoenician? 2) Given that runes are a form that's optimised for writing on trees, it should not be expected that the oldest runes will be found.

I have a wide view of what 'censorship' is, and I include spam filtering in the definition. For example, a while ago I saw an advert for some kind of erection-causing pill on a forum discussing C++. If the forum moderators remove

I don't see how "overt sexual advances to women" is by itself bad behaviour anyway. Sure, the appropriateness depends on the situation, but humans by and large do have sexual desire, often of heterosexual orientation. Is phra
