Dude I loved CDBaby. And yes, even 4 years is kind of a short time to be successful (profitable, sustainable).

Came here to say this. The Space Trilogy is one of the best series I've ever read. That Hideous Strength reminds me a LOT of what's happening these days. Even moreso than 1984. Would love to see a great director tackle it as a fil

An idea I'd like to see: 100 ways to think about God. Book and/or podcast. Bring on expert biographers. Research how Aristotle, Pascal, Lincoln, CS Lewis, etc thought and wrote about God.

This is so full of holes I don't even know where to start. But the main one is that you have a false dichotomy in assuming that individual success and "helping everyone do better" are mutually exclusive. For example, see the

False positives would be way better than worthless. They'd give AI bot mods a fighting chance. If you don't think AI generated writing is detectable, ask Google how they were able to filter spam. Layered signals works.

Horrific events happen almost every hour of every day. This is political, and the events that are upvoted are always from the same political perspective. If you don't see this, you're blind. But from my perspective, mods do see it

The best fix I've made to any voice-mode AI is giving it a "done" word. So it has to listen for "pineapple" before it's allowed to process what I said. Just like radio comms (over and out).

I'm sure someone's working on a way to tell the difference programmatically. Maybe a combo of tone, grammar, and some way of telling how fast it was typed using metadata (which may not exist). Even if there was a "probable AI

I don't think that one's even on the list of top 1,000. It's incredible how hard we try to avoid hard things.

There is another, deeper level of happiness, not mentioned in any of these comments. Around 62% of the US population has found it. That number used to be higher. In the tech world it's much smaller percentage. The powerful love you fee

A recent X thread by UK MP Andrew Bridgen compiles quotes from 16 scientists who previously worked with or contributed to IPCC reports. The statements accuse the IPCC of: deliberately downplaying uncertainties excluding or minimizing sola

Is Harvard the top university for mining research though? I assumed it would be Texas A&M or Purdue or something like that.

Curious if anyone reading this has explored the alternative theories to Darwinian evolution. I only recently started looking at it, so don't want to share links because I don't know what is believable. But it seems there are major

I think the key word in this is "choice", which is what D voters did not get. They got an attempted installation. Installation failed. See error log.

I participated in Dynomight's survey and fell into the camp of those who think we'll make significant progress into the nature of consciousness via neuroscience. I am looking for links to people doing this work. I was introduced t

I’m pretty sure we are agreeing here. Transgender is a minority. Agreed on the Bible stuff too.

So did you read that USA Today article? I did not see a single example of a book being banned from a non-school library. In fact, every example in the article was about a book being removed from taught curriculum, or a state passing a law r
