A zigzag merge gesture is obviously a terrible idea until/unless everything is a touch screen. Did they even think about this stuff at all? Ergonomics and RSI aside, if a horizontal drag means add, why not just make vertical drag mea

Yeah, but there's a point here. Are you comfortable with financial derivatives? Derivatives of derivatives? Futures of futures at the 4th, 5th or 50th order? The point being that if you go too far from the substance of things then

Or post it as a reply in url, hope for the silent majority to support it enough to send it to the top. If the platform only supports out-links it's tough.. maybe use QR codes as avatars?

Not sure you can purely talk about "is the motivation likely?" and end up with qanon stuff. This leaves out motivated reasoning coming from the rube, plus a bunch of other things like narratives that are sufficiently fun / s

It's interesting right? Now there's too much distrust of authority and also not enough. Even the word "skeptic" is sometimes used to refer to people who "do their own research" and doggedly latch on to wild c

Oh this is a very damning paper. Using simple languages from their definitions alone is a great proxy for studying truly out-of-distribution reasoning. Also just for following simple rules/instructions correctly, because a simple eno

Despite this coming from an independent expert and not from OpenAI, we need to be honest that this is more like a marketing campaign than open science. I assume the progress really is valid, the experts are indeed impressed, and we have th
