Viewing profile — fluoridation

Insightful and compelling. Tell me another one.

I'm not disputing the total effect. I'm asking if you'd rather describe ADD and JMP in this manner, in order to say that NOP does not in fact do nothing.

See my sibling response.

Because that's how technology goes from being new to being understood. People try it, see what it can do, what it's good for, and in what ways it's dangerous, if any.

Is that the case, though? This is all pretty new tech. Did people know the machine was dangerous and didn't care, or did they not anticipate such a behavior?

It's not an implementation detail, because the decoder runs before the execution of every instruction. If we're going to say that NOP increments IP by one, then we should also say …

I don't know about other architectures in as much detail. I know x86 NOP does nothing.

That's pretty cool. I've never needed to do that because Paint remembers the last canvas size set manually.

No, that's done by the decoder. It actually does nothing.

It depends on the species. Some fungi like molds do directly sporulate from the mycelium.

I guess they're just trying to get the networks to interlace, not to reconstitute into a single organism and be capable of nutrient exchange, so I don't think it matters if they're…

I've done cultures on agar agar and mycelium definitely does have a distinctive smell. To me it's reminiscent to the damp smell of a concrete basement, though less stale and unplea…

It pretty much is, except it's reversible. At the block level it meets the cascading requirement, and you can set it up to expand the output arbitrarily by padding the input with z…

Very, very briefly, most symmetric algorithms are block ciphers, meaning that their input are blocks of a fixed length in bits (plus a key), and their output is another block of th…

I was speaking in general, not just about AI.

Most people would rather lines to be broken up and wrapped around than to have to walk around the room to read. Do you often find yourself reading photographs of stone tables or so…

No, it's when a benchmark becomes a target. You might have a private benchmark that you tell no one about. Would you not trust it?

Never mind, then. It's just bad writing.

I did check for metaphor before commenting. It'd be odd to describe the chair in question as a "Transformer having a panic attack" if you didn't actually see it. If it was noisy, I…

I think even AI wouldn't do that.
