    I mean we do live in the Holocene interglacial and the interglacial won't last forever. Obviously we have warmed the planet a great deal but I don't think that is going to stop the…

    People at 75 fall off a cliff physically. Life expectancy is rising but that includes spending years in long term care. 70% of people over 65 right now will need long term care. We…

    A better example is the portrait painter trembling at seeing the first example of photography. You can pretty much see at any gallery when the camera changes art. To me these argum…

    I never went to that bowling ball place but that sounds like 90s Pittsburgh to me. It was a very odd place. I think because rent for apartments and business was so incredibly cheap…

    I suspect this is what is at play. It is really impressive as long as you don't know enough to nit pick the output. Trying to use it for things I know quite well has been terrible.…

    This is basically the social media addiction bargaining version of "I can't quit drinking, I will lose contact with all my friends at the bar!. Just have to accept that alcohol is …

    I just doubt this is true. I like to say and think I have no social media yet here I am. I also spend quite a bit of time watching youtube videos and looking at youtube comments.

    I will check out Missing Cryptoqueen right now. I can't remember if it came out this year or last year but the Exit Scam series about Gerald Cotten, the bitcoin guy that everyone t…

    chatGPT is even worse. The less popular a python package is, the more bullshit is in the chatGPT answer. I don't know how many times now it has literally made up functionality that…

    I can picture a type of adversarial situation with a generator intentionally trying write bugs to fool a discriminator. We can't forget that what we have now basically is the MVP o…

    I agree with Linux Mint but you can just download and boot off a thumb drive to try it out yourself without actually installing anything. I would try Mint with KDE but also try a f…

    What is so interesting to me is how much bias we have that my "understanding" of what you wrote is something additional to a Chinese room. IMO it is because no matter what people s…
