Sometimes your requests for rigor on a freeform discussion board don't carry the weight of law, sometimes people just respond with what they're thinking instead of doing what they're told. I stand by my handwaving as relevant

My point wasn't that "pro-gun people" are wrong. The argument is a tautology, it can't be wrong! If guns ownership is a crime, then owning a gun makes you a criminal. The tautology is compatible with the hypothesis that

Your comment got me thinking so I'm going to ramble a bit. The sun being conscious makes sense to me. Not as we are, but then again nothing is as we are. Cats communicate with each other, cleverly explore and learn about their environm

The subservience of intellectualism to politics seems obvious to me. Typical public online discourse is shackled. Goodhart's law is a big mechanic purging intellectual discussion. If you're in a right leaning, 'non political&

History is rarely irrelevant. The law changed to allow the government to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or trial under a republican administration. When its sunset came, the power was affirmed by a democrat. The author

Sure, and you'd be hard pressed to get a lot of people to give up firearms they already own. If you sent agents door to door, statistically some result in conflicts to the death with people that weeks earlier were considered law abidin

Breaking encryption for the government is so furiously stupid it blows my mind every time it is suggested. Especially here, where people actually give the idea merit. It makes me miss oldschool /. where 100% of everyone was on the same

I've been making something very similar to this while I've been looking for a job. A node-graph editor 'framework' in react. It's not as far along as yours, and looks a little different. My github has hitherto been

I'll get over everything (i've complained about so far) except how collections work and how merge doubles is gone. If the devs don't sort it out by release, I'll solve it with addons. Just engaging in the time honored tr

This is great! As a slighty OT aside, I really hope blender's UI changes sloooow down. I've been using it for 16 years. 2.8 versus 2.7 is so different, It almost feels like they're making changes for change sake. I've be

Your story reminds me of something that happened to me in high-school. I registered for a challenge english class. I lasted about two weeks because of a strange grading policy the teacher chose. If you didn't turn in ANY assignment, re

This is an interesting perspective! The frontier around dark energy / space accelerating in its expansion etc is interesting to me. A bit unrelated, my pet theory is that a dwindling of some quantity creates the things we're measu

In 1983 the United States was spending 250 billion dollars on defense. Not sure if CIA spending is included in that piece of the spending pie, but regardless.. Lots of money gets dumped into the economy via that route. It's well known

I've been using the internet since the mid 90's, and google since the early 00's. Google's early minimalism and result quality made me _fanatically_ loyal. Even when google started doing some unromantic things, I stayed

I decided to take a break from society last year. I'm fortunate enough where I am that it's eminently reasonable to do. I found some Mennonites that build small 14 * 28 foot cabins with two sleeping lofts. It costs about 8k, and t

He's probably right about nlp robot garbage being the future. Same as how we don't build pyramids anymore. Brick buildings have given way to toothpicks and foam. Quality seems to decay when the tide of novelty recedes. Robo-wikipe
