You've learnt a lesson and grown from it. There's no reason to blame others for your own actions. This is also a great opportunity to demonstrate your understanding on how difficult the scientific process is to your friends. Telli

Different people can have pretty different experiences with different drugs. Just because you have an alcohol tolerance (assuming you do) doesn't mean others do. Just thinking of myself, I'm always surprised how little it takes fo

Last I checked there is a thriving techno-political culture of decentralization and privacy rights fighting this. A lot of people are in fact doing a lot. Don't worry kiddo! The adults are working on it even if it seems futile. FYI it

TIL my concern that Big Tech is progressively centralizing power to the detriment of society writ large is exactly as shortsighted and dumb a fear like the moral panic that DnD is satanic. /s

No, the overall usage is low because they are tabooed socially. Alcohol and nicotine are more dangerous and yet if you replace the taboo with widespread societal normalization or even nudge far enough that not doing alcohol is taboo then

You're unaware there are people who more easily get into elite schools because of their parents? Educate yourself. It is a widespread systemic problem often called affirmative action for Whites: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

It is not a problem that has been solved if I understand your last sentence correctly. It is a problem that many people have different solutions to and each group proudly proclaims they have solved it.

So um... I just started playing with ChatGPT's new code interpreter today. Have you seen it? What it can do is insane. My mind is blown. Math is no longer an issue for ChatGPT. Possibly what it is doing now is analogous to having human

I used to think this same way, especially given I have a biology background. It is indeed true if you look at the internals of chatGPT it is doing a lot of basic and dare I say dumb suboptimal things. However I find the analogy to flying co

I'm not convinced human intellect isn't doing a similar thing with math when we are doing it fast. When I solve an arithmetic thing in my head I actually am not understanding or going by "the steps." I've just seen

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out how terrible its selling feature - its AI - is. I tested it out and it was practically useless at classifying my images. Simple things like an obvious image of a cat it misses tagging as a cat so it

Possible difference is "The Game" actually ends as a warning to those who just see it as a games and doesn't skimp on the emotional turmoil men go through that refuse to stop tying their self-worth with how much they get laid

Thank you for the review. You caused me to re-bookmark it after reading a warning that it is badly written.

"You decline the PhD offer and end up happy with an intellectually satisfying six-figure role in tech. You are surprised when you learn that your older colleague with a PhD earns just as much as you do."

Thank you for offering to answer questions. Is Cinder something that could help optimize real-time streaming? We had a UDP stream and then through multiple gstreamer and nvidia deepstream magic (which I believe the senior dev implemented in

Just don't sync to the cloud. Use syncthing and any privacy concerns are solved. That's what I do. Works great syncing between my 3 devices

Everything ChatGPT seems gray area and might which is probably why we are where we are.

I don't think ChatGPT has any rights yet... And a person using it has the exact same rights as someone not using it.

Um, yes? If our goal was to strongly persuade any animal to behave some way we have a myriad of techniques for that based on our understanding of their animal psychology. And failing that, force is always an option.

Last I checked I can legally enter any bookstore with copyrighted books, pick up a book, and read it. And then tell anyone what I read. I can't go write and commercialize what I learnt directly, but I'm not breaking the law by qui

This is a fantastic point. I can legally go pick up any strictly copyrighted book at a store and read parts of it for free which I will then have learnt and have in my brain to share with to anyone else. If I happen to have a superintellige
