Most forks probably happened before GitHub existed.

AI had enormous potential for interesting artistic effects. Instead it's being used to make (for now) shoddy knockoffs, and maybe someday better-than-the-original knockoffs. I was hoping for the invention of a car, but all we got was a

Behold: https://twitter.com/StefanKarpinski/status/14109710611816816... Probably helps that this is from a codebase that's been forked quite a bit.

I'm not sure I buy that argument though. The idea that you can squarely blame the obesity epidemic on some foods and not others. Hell I'd be ok with banning all forms of food advertising and requiring that all foods be blank packa

Jury is still out on how food companies will take a situation where people can be prescribed a pill to be less hungry. I imagine they'd be more scared if it was OTC though.

This class of drugs does address the bad diet though, doesn't it? Anyway, 'getting people to stop' turns out to be impossible for some. The drugs are meant to help with that. Diet soda and bottled water exist and somehow peop

Ha! This made me think of DNP too-the rare drug that modifies the O of CICO. But you can't beat thermodynamics.

Doctors are reluctant to prescribe stimulants to their patients for various reasons. Also you don't keep the weight off with those.

If we're going to treat calories as addictive and addiction as a disease rather than a personal failing it should follow that we treat the disease with a drug.

If these models experience qualia (and that's a big bold claim that I'm, to be clear, not supporting,) they're qualia related entirely to the things they're trained on and generate, totally devoid of what makes human qua

People who enjoy the resulting concentration of wealth will find better things to do with their time. The much larger group of people who see their wealth diminish will not.

My understanding is that the way the drug works is by improving your diet.

I think the consensus was that he wasn't the guy. The guy didn't have relevant experience and didn't act like the guy, plus it would be very strange to use your real name but then not expect anything to come of it.

Antinuclear activism was incredibly successful. We may get there soon with infectious disease research. Also, we have (mostly) successfully enforced a convention against using CRISPR to create transhuman monster embryos.

I've heard of a few other people doing this sort of thing. I have some reservations about the practice. Stories passed from parents to children are our birthright. Forget art, this is a fundamental form of communication of values, idea

Termux used to be around to make Android feel like I was carrying linux around, but eventually Google (afaik) killed it by breaking everything so now I have JuiceSSH and a raspberry pi. I'm weighing the price of keeping a cloud instanc

Part of this is about distro selection. I have a decade plus of windows9x, XP, and 7 experience, so I use Lubuntu which works pretty much exactly like they did, and is honestly less surprising/confusing than Windows 10 (I skipped 8.) M

I don't think Linux will ever be the dominant desktop OS, but that no longer matters because Desktop is no longer the dominant method of interacting with a computer. You could argue that linux 'won' with Android (and unix &#x

I was shocked by that too. Maintaining such a sheet is a good idea, but never _ever_ share it. It's bad operational security. It's also revealing more about you (what other companies think of you) than it is about the companies in

What bugged me most that season is the fact that they visibly equipped one of the heroes with an F91-W, a digital watch, then it's a plot beat later that his watch stopped, showing what time he jumped in the water. The script thought i

When your engine is running the oil pump ought to be circulating oil across relevant surfaces, I don't see how idling would 'strip it away.' If that was the case, why would they sell cars with remote starters?
