> Asimov's laws of robotics are flawed too, of course. I always find the common references to Asimov's laws funny. They are broken in just about every one of his books. They are crime novels where, if a robot was involved, ther

Why didn't the author of the article take the 30s I did, and redo the experiment today, with Claude? Rather important, since Claude is what impressed Dawkins, and that impression is the core subject of the article.

I asked Claude the great wall question, and the answer is not what the article describes: That claim is false — and it actually mixes up two separate myths! The Great Wall of China is not visible from Spain. Spain is roughly 9,000+ km away

Of course. I'm not rooting for the US' downfall. It is a loss of western values. It saddens me, but it is a fact they're veering away from the French Revolution principles.

> If they are mapping that to "reduction in green energy" or "reversal of green energy adoption" I think they are very wrong indeed. Because there is a global trend towards green energy use, caused by economic factors

It's still to be determined if the drop is temporary. From the outside (EU) I see a downward uninterrupted trend since 9/11 and the Patriot Act.

Have you tried it with something like OpenSpec? Strangely, taking the time to lay out the steps in a large task helps immensely. It's the difference between the behavior you describe and just letting it run productively for segments of

I'm Portuguese, so read this as a view from outside. Brexit traded rigid limits on national action for soft limits. It is bonkers, because the soft limits are much harsher! Take, for example, trade policy. Facing trade tariffs from the

No. The article explains they do not cure the underlying issue, whatever it is. We have many such drugs, widely accepted as safe and effective.

Great idea, nice proof of concept. It'd be nice to see a translation into English after we finish the sentence, as it'll inevitably introduce words I don't known yet, and there's a learning opportunity.

Portuguese has the word "mestre" from the same Latin origin. Since it has evolved in a separate context, it may give a glimpse of the original meaning, way before slavery. A "mestre", in Portuguese, is one of three conce

I tend to draw the line at intrinsic vs extrinsic behavior. The model layer must be able to maintain all intrinsic properties. Whenever it would talk outside the application, it's beyond the domain of the model. Taken to the extreme, y

As with most tasks, you learn by doing. You can't learn to play tennis from a book, in the same fashion you can't learn to think from a book. Find an area where you have to disassemble large problems into small ones, where you hav

I know this is a popular opinion, but you'll be hard pressed to find a Tesla owner that shares your opinion. It could be self-selection, or it could be that Tesla's user interface actually works very well. In my opinion, it's

Maybe because VW, for example, has actually skirted pollution laws, with intent. Or because PSA management publicly derides any effort for EV transition. Or maybe because Toyota has for 20 years falsely promised EV fuel cells/engines i

Step back a bit and ask yourself: Why not? If it's a great car, and if it has been technologically updated, should you really care that much about a new front grill design? We consider cars more fashionable than shoes.

You mean restyling? It's a feature of classic automakers that I actually don't like. It seems aimed at forcing consumers to get a new vehicle by making the old one seem deprecated. It's mimicking the fashion industry, where f

I switched to Kagi almost two years ago. I have an experience opposite to yours. I never ever use the google bang. I did in the beginning, when a query wouldn't give me results, only to get worse, more verbose, equally useless results

Because they break when a request fails. MPAs have a request resubmission UI out of the box. They also have request history navigation, easy resource bookmarking and other stuff you can reimplement in an SPA but usually don't.

It should be possible to equip the car with enough sensors to detect or predict maintenance needs. Tesla's approach is, however, still incomplete. The powertrain is sensored enough, suspension/brakes/tires aren't.

That is not a false statement. "No action required" is different from "no supervision required".
