> Quite a lot of changing the code is just useless busywork: re-wiring old functions, moving imports around, searching for locations that benefit from extracting a common piece of …

It's not exactly whizzing around at light speed in the way that you imagine if it's beneath an event horizon. The entire point of an event horizon is that everything beyond it phys…

This betrays a very naive concept of "knowledge" and "understanding". It presupposes that there's some kind of platonic realm of logic and reason that an AGI just needs to tap in t…

I'm not sure if I missed something in the article, but it appears to me that the article does not take in to account the change in supply due to change in effective wage caused by …

At high enough energies the laws of physics are actually different. Two of the four fundamental forces in physics, the electromagnetic force and the weak interaction, are actually …

There's a lot of discussion here in the comments on whether this can meaningfully be called a vulnerability if you can only "see the temperature of your server". Setting aside that…

We don't have the rules that we want the neural network to learn, if we did we could just directly use those rules, and there would be no need for ML to solve the problem. In this …

> There is no study showing that masks slow the spread of sars-2 in a community You say that, and yet "At least ten studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in commu…

I didn't mean to say the fact that the interval exists makes it uncertain, I meant to say the fact that it is a 67% spread makes it uncertain. They are saying that they have narrow…

You act like this is the first time in the history of the planet a country has enacted measures to stop the spread of disease. It's not, we've done it before, and the world didn't …

Ok so you say that characterizing the results as incoonclusive results is dishonest, but in the article the limitations sections literally lists "Inconclusive results" as their fir…

Where did your conclusion of "masks definitely don't work for SARS-2" come from? Just in your quote it stated that the control that cloth mask use was compared to was a population …

So, you linked a number of articles from early 2020, when there was not significant community spread of COVID and thus the primary strategy for dealing with it was isolating and qu…

Perhaps you could point us to what cdc website you are referring to? Because on cdc.gov wearing a multilayer cloth mask is recommended, and they cite a number of studies on the eff…

This is a bit confusing, since a planet is defined as "a celestial body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive e…
