How is this different to travellers owner their caravans? Most people who live on boats don't own a permanent mooring. They either continually move around, or rent a mooring.

Exactly. Also, even if the gene and protein names were different, real scientists wouldn't get hung up on minor technical slip-ups like this, because everyone knows what is meant. (Former cell biologist)

No, you don't need a licence to pilot a boat on most inland waters in the UK (there may be exceptions on busy commercial stretches). It would not be complicated to get a boat, assuming you have the money. You basically need to buy a b

This isn't really true. You get lots of people living on boats because housing is expensive (like my mother and stepdad). You do get plenty of "crusty" boat people, but generally they keep themselves to themselves. Maybe this

Brake lights are not only about showing deceleration, but also intention. If I tap the brake and it doesn't really change my speed, it still signals to those behind that I was (for whatever reason) think about slowing down, which is us

My guess though, is that the fire safety requirements of mattresses are almost entirely aimed at curbing the risk from smoking in bed. If the author of the article doesn't smoke in bed, then they are circumventing the risk in a differe

Wow, great answer! I can apply this to some situations I have with my daughter. I have a tendency to get over-excited when she shows interest in my interests, and try and push her to do the things with me.

The problem is there is nothing to stop people slapping this badge on AI content, right?
220.
by JR1427 3y ago
I wasn't passing judgement on the merit of AI-generated content, but rather asking how we might reliably show and tell that content was not generated by AI. Oh wait, I did call it "AI-generated crap", but I am open to the ide

by JR1427 3y ago
What are the best ways to signal that your content is not AI-generated crap? Will we need to come up with a way to authenticate non-AI content?

I'm not exactly sure what your question is. Do you mean how am I showing a different behaviour to despair and disinterest? Firstly, just because I think we should not be doing one thing, doesn't mean I am doing the other thing per

This is nice, and well done getting all the way to production! As you point out in one of your posts, the meaning conveyed by the same battery level differs between extroverts and introverts. For me, low social battery would mean "plea

Despair and disinterest are the easy way out. It's not clever. I'm grateful that my ancestors didn't give up so easily.

There is no way ChatGPT would survive a two hour chat and be indistinguishable from a human.

I lived near Grenfell, and tragically watched it burn from my flat. The facelift they gave it was awful, and I would personally not call it ornamentation. Lots of modern architecture seems to try and create the illusion/impression of o

The examples of unornamented buildings in the article are actually highly ornamented, but just more subtly. In the UK at least, many buildings have zero ornamentation, and are just plain brickwork, without even window ledges etc, and these

Have I missed the bit where the site explains why things are expensive?

I was the same. I can't easily describe what changed, but now I don't play to win or lose, I just decided to play for the sake of playing. If you lose a game, just stop playing for a bit, and don't give in to the feeling of w

I love birding, and I think many people who think they are not interested would be if they gave it a try. I think it's a hobby with very few negative side-effects. More people having an interest in birds is great, as it benefits the in

Thanks for the example. I'm not sure that this is the same, as I don't think the gut microbiome introduced via a fecal transplant is likely to spread throughout a population without further intervention, though (i.e. more transpla

It would be nice to see some positive examples of where species (GM or otherwise) have been artificially introduced to an ecosystem and not ended up doing more harm than good. Otherwise, this kind of thing makes me sceptical, as there are a

This reminds me of how there was a boom in half-baked studies around COVID, e.g. modelling this or that aspect of the pandemic, or around mask wearing. I imagine that most of these will simply have had little to no impact, and will only ser

I also recently got to know him, and can confirm the above! We got to know each other because of our interest in small sailing boats.

Wood smoke can also trigger asthma, so roughly 10pct of the population face a potential life-threatening situation from it. https://www.cdc.gov/asthma/triggers.html And if the problem is because of your neighbour, ther
