People are going to inevitably hate on this because... well it's ads. But in my opinion, having an ad-supported tier is actually a good thing. It makes gaming more accessible to people who can't afford/don't want to purc

Agree. There are literally zero takeaways from this article other than it being a marketing post.

It's better to be safe than sorry. For your own best interest, I would shut down the site and delete this post.

What if exploding nukes on the seafloor has the opposite effect and actually _releases_ already sequestered carbon? IMO, this idea is very poorly thought out.

I respectfully disagree :) Not only do my peers and I find many of these courses challenging, but AP classes are widely recognized as college-level coursework taken in high school. I will have completed 17 of them by the time I graduate. Th

I'm huge on videos + practice sets. Khan Academy has been such a lifesaver. They not only have in-depth videos, but also have practice sets after every lesson. AP Classroom (a platform made by College Board) is also amazing. They have

Generally, it is true that writing by hand is better for recall and memory. However, teachers often use this as a justification to force students to handwrite everything, which can be very counterproductive for a subset of students. I am cu

In the Twitter thread the article mentions, LeCun makes his claim only for "high-resolution" images and the article assumes 1024x1024 to fall under this category. To me, 1024x1024 is not "high-resolution." This assumptio

The article isn't overly excited imo. It clearly states nothing has been proven for certainty, which is in alignment with what you're saying. > Astronomers Detect a Possible Signature of Life on a Distant Planet > Further

Of course. It'd be much worse if we found life on Mars than on a distant planet. In either case, the chances of humanity being ahead of the "great filter" are greatly reduced.

the idea is: if we do find life elsewhere, especially basic life, it suggests that getting to that stage isn't super rare. which means the great filter probably isn't behind us (like abiogenesis or single-cell to multi-cell jump),

This is unsettling. If we are not the only intelligent beings in the universe, it adds credence to the idea of a "great filter." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter
