It's a very stupid thing to say though, it's like Trump's promise to reduce drug prices by 1000%. I guess that was also just a figure of speech.

Well, it is. Thermodynamics. Earth is pretty much a closed system, except for the sun. So for example if you invest $100 in a farm and get a return of 10%, where does that come from? The nutrients in the soil, the effort expended by the wor

Quadruple? Depends on how you're counting I suppose. The problem with using flight mode is that the phone then becomes useless at its job as a phone, i.e. a device that other people can use to call you.

So what do you want to change, actually? My point is that the waterproof phones I've owned hasn't been hard to repair, because heating a phone to remove some glue, is not hard. The point is that the waterproofing glue, for me, is

Seems like we very quickly went from "there are tradeoffs" to "modular phones are objectively the best in all aspects". So, where's your proof of that claim? In my experience (as stated above) it's not the case

I don't really see the value of regulation requiring a certain preference, given that there are tradeoffs. I owned a modular phone previously, and it was, as you say, not as thin and not waterproof, and not dustproof either. Given that

Sure, but so far I've replaced my phone screen once and the battery never, I suppose both would be equally easy though. Why is heating a big issue but removing screws not? Shouldn't we mandate user-replaceable screens too? Soon yo

I don't know, in my experience the chat output has been fairly natural. The quoted sentence seems to be from some "model internals". Of course that can be incomprehensible, what an AI assistant is really doing is just statist

By default? I doubt it would be useful or desirable for 95% of users. I'm guessing most people find natural language easiest to read, STE seems to be like a project almost akin to Esperanto or Lojban.

It's controversial because your definition of "over-engineered" is different from most other people's understanding of the term. Most people would take it to mean "using more complex systems than needed to achieve a

Well, as I mentioned there was already in 2020 the problem of (human-generated) slop commits causing unnecessary work for maintainers. The commit in itself might add some minuscule value to the project, but when you take into account the ti

I think Goodhart's law applies really well here. When people make commits for the sake of having made a commit to some famous repo, the "merit" that a commit measures is already useless. Remember Hacktoberfest 2020, before LL

Well, it's about as honest as repackaging tap water as mineral water, given that the fans could just prompt personalized stories of the same quality, but it's a career for sure. :)

Well, we don't. Just look at all the wars going on right now. In light of that, does it seem like a good idea to introduce a bunch of even less aligned agents into the world? "Grey goo" nanobots are another example of artific

I'm not sure what you mean with "load bearing"? My example of newtonian mechanics was actually to exemplify a simple model that's obviously correct to everybody (given that you use it for what it's useful for). Like

It's a tautology, who would need explaining of it? The fact that "if there is evidence for something, people will agree with that thing". That's like, pretty much the definition of evidence...

Surprised at the quick dismissals in the comments here. Of course the title is a bit sensationalist, that's the case for all pop-sci articles. I don't think anybody would reasonably believe physicists disagree about for example Ne

In Europe the problem is already pretty solved because you can get a MPL and fly right seat in a passenger jet in 245 flight hours, just by going through an airline cadet program or something like that. If I'm not mistaken the US still

Perhaps I'm being a bit reductive, but threads on anything that you're more well versed in than the average person, are evidently almost always goofy. It's called the "Gell-Mann Amnesia" effect.
