    Sturgeon’s law really does apply. It applies to doctors, plumbers, therapists, programmers, managers, x. There really is too much stupidity in the world. “Obviously”. Learning to i…

    Hahaha, I can imagine a buttoned up exec channeling jobs brandishing "the lump" on stage at one of their events. And he is saying: This is the best "lump" we've ever made. 20% Lump…

    Yep, it looks like a knockoff.

    I can never see these illusions :/ Only the bulge works. Movement I can’t see at all. Am I supposed to look at it a certain way? I tried at different distances. I’ve tried using la…

    Oh wow, this suddenly became so heated! Is the gun made of # or _? Or it has to be both?

    Ok I see your point. Did you look at the output in the challenge? It's very different. I wonder why? Different seeds maybe.

    Ok, but it's still acceptable by any common sense standard. Besides the challenge's output is completely off. Not just that it's using just one of the characters. It spells out som…

    The challenge is flawed. I asked one of the questions from the quiz to chatgpt which the quiz claims GPT can't solve. But it did. Prompt: Write out the word "hello" as an ascii art…

    Doesn't it flatten all behavior and not just impropriety?

    Yes but resolution and coherence matters. A map that says "here be dragons" is not high resolution. A map that misidentifies or misses parts is incoherent. The brain is not physica…

    All climate models are based on mathematical physics models. I don't know the specifics, so I asked chatGPT and here is what it said: ''' Climate modeling is a multifaceted field r…

    "The brain" is made up of matter, yes. "The brain" is not physical like columns or iron. Those are simple objects. The kind physics likes to deal with. Things that are easily measu…

    When a vortex forms in a pool of water, it is formed by the complex interplay of water, the pond made up of earth, rock, plants, its undulations perturbing the water, the wind etc.…

    It's not clear what the idea is here. Which is why all the questions. I suspect, as you said, that a much more complex data structure would be required to encode all the various as…

    This is just tedious. The electro-chemical map of the brain that is built and used to study it, is so primitive. Almost certainly, "the brain" tunes itself to its environment and i…

    Yes exactly. Behavior drives success. Not merit. Behavior is social. No sarcasm here, just acceptance of what is obvious.
