The interface is amazing. Clean, it doesn't leave huge amounts of empty space that scream "this was made for phone users, everyone else might fuck off", and the subforums already hint "we want to gather political disside

Yup, different definitions; I was going to bring this up but chopped it to avoid the wall of text. (I'm glad that someone caught it up though.) My definition is roughly "ability to process information and generate useful conclusio

I can relate to most of what he wrote. And I've also noticed the same pattern that he points out in >Whenever I post of a cognitive bias or logical fallacy, my replies are soon invaded by leftists claiming it explains rightist belie

This sounds a lot like satire. This excerpt for example is blatantly self-contradictory: >We’ve found zero [scenarios] that lead to good outcomes. // Most AI researchers think good outcomes are more likely. This seems just blin

Ah, nevermind. Your focus was on the last part of the quote. My bad.

Perhaps it's a side effect of our desire for different flavours, that would encourage us (in a wild environment) to seek a diversified diet that provides multiple types of nutrients.

This is just a guess but I think that there are two problems here, not one: 1) inefficiency strictu sensu (more operations required for the exact same task), and 2) lower diminishing returns (that kitchen sink being included weights far mor

The reason that I'm scolding those users is not "disagreement". Disagreement implies that they have something to offer - an opposite point of view, or perhaps info conflicting with what I said. They don't, because they d

I think that some users here in the comments are bloody missing the point. It's easy to figure out what the authors are saying, provided that you guys have something called "basic reading comprehension". Here's a TL;DR:

>No, Reddit. Phising is not a sophisticated attack. You're right, it isn't. It's just Reddit admins lying through their teeth, it's their usual. Almost like they take most of the current Reddit userbase as braindead.

It's all about small decisions. I'll list some examples but keep in mind that they're just examples. * Prefer markets that overall use less plastic, even if this might bring you a small inconvenience. For example if market A

I think that #5 is a bad point, as there are multiple reasons why someone might get irritated with a trait of another person, and "I see that trait in myself" is only one of them. I don't think that it's even a "pro

Def #1 is way off. Loneliness is to feel that other people don't relate to you; to be misunderstood _can_ create this situation but so does different likes/dislikes, different moral premises, or even plain prejudice. Def #2 assume

It gets worse once we remember that electricity can be transported, but the damage stays mostly in place.

What the link is "conveniently forgetting" to mention is that most industrial hydrogen production emits CO₂ (steam reforming: CH₄ + 2H₂O → 2H₂ + CO₂). And there's a good reason for that: electrolysis consumes a lot of electri

I stared the title for a few seconds, thinking on the ambiguity, until I said to myself "either is fine". I like to play old games. And I like to drink old grape juice.

In the kindest interpretation of what he said, he might be referring to people trying to use Chomsky's ideas for AI language processing (plenty do), and implicitly restricting that "nobody will remember him" when it comes to
