There are zero indisputable photos of 99.9999999% of things that happen on earth. I mean, even if you have 10 separate people seeing the same thing and someone videoing, that's still disputable. You'd need a stadium of observers a

UFOs are not a US only phenomenon, certainly not a US military only phenomenon. Major events have happened (or been claimed to have happened) in many other countries, including several of the most famous events (Redlesham, Westall, Ariel).

Yeah, the number of people that seem ignorant of the circumstances here is astounding. He's given classified briefings to Congress on a subject matter he was tasked with investigating (UAPs). The fact that people seem so quick to dismi

Also, he was in a position such that people would have confided such evidence to him. We're not talking about an Apache mechanic overhearing random conversations. He was on the team investigating UAPs for the gov, and people came to hi

And I was countering your counter? Was that not self-evident? Also, countering a point is itself a point in a conversation.

I mean, if one of ten happened while on psychedelics, and the person spent 0.0001% of their life under the influence of psychedelics, that's a pretty significant contribution.

To the extent that AI architectures are just matrix multiplications, there is already an asic: GPUs. If you want more efficiency gain than general matrix multiplication hardware, you need to start getting specific about the NN architectures

That shift won't happen until research slows down. Nobody wants to invest significant amounts of money in hardware that will be obsolete in a year.

I'm not a doctor, but I believe the mechanism that causes spots isn't harmful. It's a form of exhaustion of the sensing cells and doesn't necessarily damage them. Damage really only happens when you get photon burns, whi

TBF, the roll of a VC isn't to be on the cutting edge of science, but rather business, and generative AI is very new business, even if it isn't very new science.

Yeah, but they aren't trying to watch the effect of a drug happening. Anesthesia is accomplished with drugs. You can't give a person 3 different drugs, then expect a brain scan to tell you how one works in isolation.

1.5° was a good guess as to what we could achieve and what would avoid a good deal of harm. Was there a dictum from objective reality to stay below that threshold? No. It was mostly a cost benefit decision on the part of politicians and sci

If I did drug trials for pain killers this way, would it give any useful data? Depression and pain are subjective. Personally, I think removing the subjectivity from the trial voids the trial. It is a clever design, but it really just prove
