Ah, and all those women worrying about men following PUA influences, is that also "still a girl issue/hang-up then"?

Guys don't follow that rule (unless they are gay), they worry about women following it . It appears to be originating from a post on the (rather toxic and apparently now defunct) r…

I have to admit that I know very little about formalized proofs, but the article seems to put some reasoning behind this distinction, specifically this statement: > Because it is o…

Read up on current politics in Taiwan. The KMT, the party that lost the civil war, fled to Taiwan, and still claimed to be the true government of China, is now essentially a PRC pu…

That's because the primary goal of the spending is not to produce a capable military. It's an expensive, inefficient jobs program, but one that you can get conservatives to support…

What's the most unsettling to me is that the one thing that makes it less apt to modern life is the implication that at 8 PM, everyone is at home. Nobody still working or commuting…

Do they even have any direct exposure to the whole AI bubble? If not, I'd say they don't even count in the "everyone"-

For me they key step to solving it was realizing that mary_curr - mary_old = ann_curr - ann_old since they must have aged the same amount of years. time dilation joke incoming

Yes, but the desparate need is specifically for quick and easy ways to detect AI. If it's error-prone that's unfortunate, but better than nothing. A slow, laborious way, on the oth…

> This is largely because most people are incapable of thinking critically and evaluating substance. No, with AI it's because it's MUCH faster than evaluating substance, and fast w…

The problem is that the substancelessness of AI writing nowadays tends to be subtle and well-hidden (but huge). Focusing on superficial "tells" is basically an attempt of a quick, …

Does it matter (why and how) if you can't tell the difference, no matter how hard you tailor the question towards that end? It's basically the Turing test.

Wouldn't it be funny if they missing thing is actually the body, and having one to give the subjective viewpoint something to center on directly leads to emerging sentience? Though…

Not if the only result you can judge is also language-only, and the entity has access to a large corpus of descriptions produced by people who have had the experience.

I remember buying a memory upgrade for my Amiga 500, from 512KB to 1MB - IIRC it cost about $200, and I had to take the subway across town to some dinky little shop whose ad I had …

This is also now the first thing that I find it truly useful for in a non-coding role: researching how to do things in Azure, which I have not used before.

I'd say the opposite: Steam Machine is a console than can run Windows.

It makes sense as long as building hardware optimized for games is either significantly cheaper, or yields a better customer experience, than the available alternatives. To most pe…

I really don't think having a custom CPU and hardware architecture different from PCs is the defining property of a gaming console. Nobody cares about that except developers and ha…

Yeah, we're pretty good at making pretty damn anything "fit for human consumption", including quite a few things that are outright poisonous if consumed unprocessed.

After being primed by the article, I read the author's name as "Shirtliker"...

Dude, they've already explicitly said they won't say.
