    I know I'd never be able (or wanting) to live with having left my dogs behind. I don't fear my own death _that_ much. I'm here for them until they cross, only after that I can do w…

    Damn, so I really need to follow up on my plans on moving to e.g. Thailand (and getting happy by following my dreams in terms of work/endeavors). I don't have IBS but more like a c…

    It's interesting to see how human understanding differs when it comes to complex, yet clearly defined topics, like machine-learning/Transformers. For comparison, my understanding o…

    OP here. The second sentence came out all wrong and the downvotes are deserved. What I was trying to ponder, was - given the summer blackouts (in certain areas) due to people runni…

    Forget all that. If we tried to swich half the cars to electric overnight, the power grid would collapse into a permanent blackout. Has anyone estimated the cost and time of upgrad…

    There should be legal repercussions against anyone even suggesting something as blatantly illegal and tyrannical/totalitarian as this. Have we learn nothing from communism? Globall…

    Mankind will most likely destroy each other using super-intelligence long before super-intelligence gets any chance to do so by its own volition. We are built on conflict, disagree…

    What happens (or what would happen) if you sit still in silence and darkness and try to observe these "feeling symbols" as they come and go? You could be better equipped for deep m…

    For some reason the Apple TV YouTube app's recommendations are pretty abysmal compared to the desktop website or the iPad app, and Watch Later isn't saving the day either. Could be…

    Governments should be forced to choose between collecting income taxes _or_ taxing everyone through the general monetary inflation (a.k.a. money printing). They currently practice …
