I've not played as many (games in said genre) as you, jjmarr. And so, if you don't mind indulging me... I've an idea for a game that perhaps you'd be able to tell me if it's something you've already seen in pla

I've always enjoyed developing custom rules to existing games. I could easily start rambling here of my assorted inventions. One of my favorite means of playing MTG: the Hearthstone variant. This pretty much involves taking your constr

You say that "I don't believe LLMs have become sentient" nor contemplate. But what is the basis for your belief in this? I would think than an atheist would be more likely to have opposite beliefs. I also concede that a &quot

I respect your feedback, OkayPhysicist... But I never claimed that a person with synthetic augmentations was any less human/sentient than those with all their natural parts. I likewise never claimed that "we have already achieved

Even worse, IMHO... Are those who argue that LLMs an become sentient--I've seen this banter in other threads here on HN, in fact. As far as I understand it, sentience is a property organic to beings that can do more than just reason. T

From Catholic News Agency [1], for your convenience: The history of the white smoke, which indicates that the cardinals have elected a new successor of St. Peter, is ancient. In 1274, at the Second Council of Lyons, Pope Gregory X, in a doc

The recommendation I've seen is to include a LinkedIn profile URL on your resume. This was with the intent that those reviewing said resume would be able to verify that a real person was behind it. I suppose that's reasonable, no

Well this is odd... my mouse ran out of charge a minute into this "exercise." That's never happened before

It just occurred to me... Why have I not seen an Escape Room with this type of theme? I'm in LA, Calif. I would think there would have to be something like this in LA. Who would go to experience this ingenious hellscape?

I guess that would be it! Thanks for pointing out that Wikipedia entry. I was in college at the time majoring in Physics, and yep, that was one of the headline news among a journal or two that arrived there. Good memories, indeed...

If I recall correctly, a number of years ago, plenty prior to ChatGPT, there was an incident with a scientific journal (don't recall the name though). Perhaps others here may know of this incident too... So apparently someone submitted

Hate seems to be such a strong word. I mean, as a man of faith myself, I have encountered HN posts that are compel me to consider "how can anyone, God-fearing or not, not see the disappointing hubris in this claim (that summarily and d

I've had an eye on the Huawei Matebook X Pro on Swappa. My other eye is on the XPS, new from Amazon. The latter is certainly more expensive and yet, doesn't impress me as much as the Matebook. But as we all know, Huawei is not tru

As nuclearnice1 has noted... "Catholics seem almost the same as the US population overall to believe in evolution." I am a practicing Catholic, happily formed and informed. There is nothing in Church teaching that prevents the fai

Good chatter I find here of Mailspring--I use it as well. What do y'all think of SparkMail? It's not been brought up here yet. I'm quite fond of it on my mobile device. This came to mind as I looked over Shortwave

It is indeed a great feeling to see accomplishment logged somewhere online . But I would be encouraged to do so if others would be able to review it and then find inspiration to quest on their own similar endeavor. I'm thinking of Ind

Now I know there are tons of bookmarking services, each with its own pros/cons. I'm curious to know the services the HN community uses (apart from the built-in browser feature). In particular, in response to GB going away. Do shar

It's made sense to me that "estar" is used as a means to "localize" the subject to a particular space/time. Thus the non-permanence (i.e. "non-global") meaning of the word.

speaking of "Tech superiority," IMHO... I still think that the Palm OS Centro that I used so many years ago was simply the best. The Nokias of that era just didn't compete. I don't remember the cost but I really don&#x27

The “conversion” of the probability wave--now that's much more specific with regards to the "configuration" space and well put. When I had first learned about WPD it really didn't strike me as odd or mysterious as histor

by mlmonge 6y ago
It seems to me that the configuration space of which you speak essentially explains the wave/particle duality. My B.S. Physics education from years ago never explained it as such as far as I can recall. I'm far from any expertise

I really don't understand--or I think I should say, I really don't have the energy to evaluate all the excess/lack of misinformation/information--the extent of how much our knickers are getting into a wad over this weari

I was intending to post this on the 'ask' section--clearly I'm clueless about that as well :( Kindly advise on that, please. Thanks!
