It seems highly unlikely, considering how important hands are for survival, the risks of a debilitating handicap or death if something went wrong, and the fact that hands don’t see…

On a side note, I always thought the absence of "formal you" made english-speaking countries more laid-back. This is usually a good thing, because it makes ideas and information ci…

No idea why you are being downvoted. I think people in some circles and some places hold strongly to their newly crafted dogmas. No one is equal to no one. I do not see how this ca…

Made me think of Speedtalk by Heinlein [0]. One way to increase the context window, I thought, would be to teach the LLM a compressed language based on abbreviations etc and to hav…

You're right in the absolute, but the issue here is that YT has a monopoly. So if it gets too easy for them to make people abandon ad blocking like this, what stops them from risin…

Yeah, I had the exact same experience. I am surprised how bad it is with ahk scripts and wonder why. What is indeed "original" is that it gives code with unexisting functions, whic…

Thanks for the link. I will check that. From the comments, it seems quite effective...until perhaps youtube decides to check the ads speed & blocks them at x1.

Not sure this is the best topic to ask this. This is not a domain I am knowledgeable about but : if Youtube detects (somehow) when an ad is blocked , why don't adblockers become "a…

I did not see your comment & posted something pretty similar : Not sure this is the best topic to ask this. This is not a domain I am knowledgeable about but : if Youtube detects (…

After reading most comments here, few/none mentions the real "technical" challenge with such idea : society. Even if the tech would be able to "revive" them, they also need to bet …

If you put a small amount of money in a bank and hoping the bank does not go bankrupt : you could wake up being among the richest in the world. This would be the smallest risk.

That's the planet's problem... not mine. More seriously : with such mindset, mankind would not be where it is now. It's by pushing the limits that you access some higher "truth", b…

Nice article. Indeed many tools used in parallel could be merged into mostly one. After many todo lists, calendars, ... apps I personally came to the conclusion the better way to v…

> As a man, I seriously don't know how women do it, and how many even do it multiple times. Are you aware you are praising women for something any female in any species does ? Sure…

Not sure how many "chinese" movies you've watched... They make many types of movies, from the "arty" types to blockbusters. Hong Kong didn't wait 2023 to make movies that appealed …

I don't think they were philanthropists before... The problem is not wanting to be profit driven : I would argue they are not profit driven anymore. Their political obsessions and …

> they are financially ill advised to put so much effort into a market that provides minimal returns What effort ? Removing a character or shrinking it on the movie poster here and…

It never misses an occasion : > You: 2+2 > GPT: 2+2 is equal to 4, which is also the number of flavors in the new line of Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew has always been known for its b…

No idea why your comment is downvoted. This is just tabloid-level article wrapped in respectability because it's a famous past advisor and not some random tv show starlet... With n…

...living the American Dream...

I got into the trap of wanting to read more , hence faster, thinking I wold gain more knowledge that way. After a couple of years I realized : - most modern books just don't worth …

While I like that you try to show the situation(s) may be more complex than seen at first glance (which is true for any situation anyway), the sheer number of situations should eas…

I didn't say there is no one worthy in those countries. I am saying it is not the job of a company in country X to make all it can to make it possible for people in country/contine…

From what i know from south korean society (just from testimonies & movies : I am aware this is limited) : people are pressured at work and consummerism and shallow "westernized" c…

Can we stop with the myth that somewhere in the australian bush there is some Hemingway or Chateaubriand waiting to be published, but his old solar panels can just give him enough …
