Nonsense, it's clearly tremendously Al-Adeen.

This sort of rhetoric leads me to believe you've been enmeshed in the online and more um.. "engaging", rhetoric on this which no doubt paints a very compelling narrative. The government's actions are much better explaine

I think you're mistaken about the effect that the Albertan premier's artificially manufactured "independence" campaign is having on the electorate. Outside of the small fringe communities that support it, the reaction of

The direct impact of the Canadian economy on the US one is small, but thankfully for Canada the broader economic reality is that the US isn't picking a fight just with Canada. America is creating a lot of messes for itself around the

Is anyone else getting that feeling about hearing the world "deal" so much that it's losing any meaning whatsoever? What exactly does this word mean? It definitely doesn't mean a stable set of agreements that can be rel

I think your example hinges more on the fact that $10/hr is a desperation wage. It's not enough to buy you a life where you're not stepped on by others. The further up that chain you move the more other things start to matt

I had a similar reaction to this article. "Why are they talking about these returned astronauts feeling like I feel all the time?" I recently got diagnosed with ADHD after talking with a doctor on my wife's insistence after

The feeling one gets from observing and thinking of cosmic scale events, and the feeling one gets from eating a really good risotto, and the feeling one gets from watching through a microscope as a paramecium goes about the business of surv

What a wonderful looking piece of software :) My child is far past toddler age but I shall keep this in mind as a gift for friends of mine that are about to have children.

Having a child was a profoundly selfish act for me. I wanted one because I can't imagine any challenge more fascinating and rewarding (for me) than raising a child. I don't understand what the point of hiring people to take care

Disclaimer: I am not a physicist and this is merely semi-informed speculation by an amateur enthusiast of understanding physical phenomena. I had assumed that those were steam bubbles, not air bubbles. At high enough temperatures water bec

I'd point out that pointing at those largely powerless people is a tactic used by domestic power centres that have their own regressive views and policies which they want to draw discourse away from. I'd ask for a comparison of ho

An obsessive stalker police officer that's angry at their ex girlfriend moving on and finding a new partner will probably not be interested in EVERY car, just the one she drives and the one her new boyfriend drives. I won't specul

Isn't that just leveraging the benefit of having access to a higher level of government which does have rules?

I read through the article, and I'm not sure this is dependent on quadratic scaling. Are they allowing all oscillators to influence all others, or are they picking modalities where the influences can be limited to some maximal fixed de

Isn't it more that the Republicans have co-opted many previous stances that used to be talking points to be pointed at as examples of "leftist examples of extremism"? The anti-vax, unpasteurized milk drinking, alternative med

Yes I've found this to be the case as well. I've also found that it's useful to split these documents into three broad distinguished classes: goals, design, and idioms. The goal docs provide directionality - helping the agen

Why are you under the impression that you have a choice? Those that are violent will always exist, and will always attempt to leverage their willingness for violence, and those that are able to - through luck or circumstance - gain leverage

Super neat concept, sort of like a stripped down chatroulette. However, in today's age I have to say that these sorts of little fun social experiment projects are just a lot harder to engage with without the back of your head going: &q

The business plan is really different depending on your starting capital. If you have none, don't bother you can't afford the wood. If you have a little, maybe your approach above is what makes sense. If you have a lot, you might

What if over time, the system degrades in such a way that there's a group of people that extract more and more value from the system while adding less and less value themselves? Is this a possible failure mode of the system? What sort

Interesting. So what's the strategy there? Just assume that each expert will learn some underlying clustering of semantic associations, but not direct it?

I feel like the talk about "world models" is trying to reach at that, but cast it in different terminology. World model is just domain model, and once you're at domain model, there are multitudes of domains. Unsupervised lea

This is a reasonably well-examined take of the situation. On the technical side, one of the additional things I've had on my mind is the potential that these mega models are in fact hiding a ton of inefficiency. The approach of simply

I can speak towards building large-scale systems from scratch with these tools. I've been working since late last year on a project that was barely a tech demo, and the progression of development on that project has seen me go from le

I have a 10 year old boy and I'm facing these issues right now. I'm also in Canada so culturally adjacent to the US and similar enough with regards to this topic. I don't see child welfare agencies personally as a particular

I remember being very disappointed when Apple went with the NeXT tech instead of the Be tech. I was in undergrad when that happened. In retrospect though, the company wasn't making a technology decision. They were making a decision b

I assure you that many Canadians who are making these moves are emitting very little signal outside of their purchasing decisions. This is not some end state of success, but a process. It's people sharing their ideas, thoughts, and st
