    Not really the kind of biased I meant though. There was a recent article about a AI disproving I think an Erdos conjecture by doing similar things humans have tried, but it was muc…

    They also have ability to go deep and wide in a way that humans just can't. We have limits, get tired, distracted and biased where AI does not. I think there a lot of problem where…

    Wouldn't a counter this argument be biological systems? These are reasonable points as long as we are talking about current methods, but I assume if we were to get to the point of …

    Didn't something like this just happen last year (or year before) but in the opposite direction?

    How could we know this? AFAIK all we can say is the volume of the brain has been relatively stable for that long, how can we say the structures of the brain have not evolved since …

    There are plenty of ways that you might make a large income in a single year like selling a business you have spent years or decades building up. Your "income" for that year might …

    I think I don't like income tax as it disincentivizes labor and also makes it harder for working people to build up wealth. Making a million a year sounds like a lot, but who knows…

    > Gasoline engines are already 15% less efficient at 20F. Is that actually true once the engine has reached operating temperature?

    The problem is, energy use is only one part of the equation. Often times new appliances that are more efficient end up being more prone to breaking due to more complexity and compa…

    Now that I have seemingly taken on managing DNS at my current company I have seen several inadequacies of DNS that I was not aware of before. Main one being that if an upstream DNS…

    My parents were tricked the other day by a fake youtube video of "racist cop" doing something bad and getting outraged by it. I watch part of the video and even though it felt off …

    I have a Samsung neo g9 57" which is like 1/2 an 8k monitor (or 2 4k monitors side-by-side) which is sweet since I use picture-by-picture mode to have my work computer on one side …

    I think the real issue is that for the powers that be, inflation is seen as either neutral or a good thing. The only people it hurts is the working class and the blame is nebulous.…

    Similar complaint for the chevy silverado, why can't they just make it look just like the regular silverado?

    Well technically, this is just a philosophical point, but the bill of rights is supposed to protect _natural_ rights that apply to everyone regardless of where they live. So in the…

    While I am not particularly interested in the design, I am intrigued by the idea of making your own monitor. I have had some ideas about features I would like in a monitor before. …

    I wonder if you could make a new standard something based on yaml where every value was prefixed by a type so there is no ambiguity.

    The whole thing is a joke but presented in a serious manner. The idea is that if you know your program input at compile time you can turn everything into a constexpr which gets eva…

    I think Communism is a 19th century pseudoscience idea like phrenology. There’s no evidence these things are real but phrenology was easy to discount while many people still choose…
