In fairness, training machine learning models is definitely one of areas where only running when it’s cheap to run makes some amount of sense. It’s something you want done eventually, not something that is responding to an immediate need. I

It doesn’t matter how high the skill ceiling is, just how much effort the average player puts into the game. In Starcraft 2 to be top 4% player essentially means to be the worst player in masters league. But the gap in skill between a bad m

This is very different from my experience. In my years with AWS I’ve only had an instance get stopped once for a reason that was weird AWS background stuff that had nothing to do with my application. I don’t think I’ve ever had or even hear

Given the amount of people who report not having an internal monologue at all, I don’t think human logic is predicated on using words. They definitely can make complex logic easier, but it’s not a requirement. The cabbage, wolf, goat proble

In order for morality to have any worth at all, it has to be an intrinsic truth (or rational determination) separate from god anyway. If the only reason something is moral is because an original creator declared it so then I don’t personall

Also businesses that could have been profitable, but failed due to being out competed by businesses that secured 10X the venture capital and sold things at unsustainable prices for years.

Motion sickness depends heavily on both the person and how each app handles motion as well. I can get motion sick depending on the app, while my dad gets motion sick if anything is even slightly off.

So obviously 99% is impossibly high, but iPhones (and well made flagship phones in general) being some of the most popular things ever made wouldn’t be very surprising to me. People’s lives revolve around their phones. They’re probably peop

Depending on the use case newer steel made in a standard fashion isn't always good enough. But indeed it's not that it cannot be replicated, but just that it's often more expensive to replicate than it is to just recycle old

I think the primary issue is that no matter what Google prioritizes for, the SEO "blogs" will always switch over to attempting to look like it. Forums, whose goal is just people talking to each other, are never going to end up at

You have to gain a habit of holding your body and hands very specifically at a piano to not gain an rsi (which at the beginning does make you more tired, but like anything else you gain the needed muscles over time if you stick with it). Mo

Consider how slowly we were coming out of the last ice age before fossil fuels sped things up. The best geological evidence we have of previous rapid changes are extinction events. As others have said it’s not the change itself but the rate

No it mostly works, but does revert and need to be rechecked seemingly randomly. Used to be more frequently actually, now is only every few months for me.

The Newhouse family are certainly multibillionaires, but they don’t even crack top 10 richest from what I can tell.

About 80% of that rain happens back over the ocean, and then about 25% of the rain that happens over land actually gets captured as ground water. Even that isn’t the main point though, the issue is we’re currently using water faster than ra

The remade world is better and more alive than the first game, the new runes allow for more meaningful interaction with it, and the weapons breakage feels a lot more natural with the addition of object fusion. The dungeons are also substant

Unprecedented in the era of human farming is sufficient enough for my worry. Yes, life as a whole probably survives whatever happens in one form or another. But those rapid climate changes tend towards seriously limiting the resources avail

The current mass extinction doesn’t have much to do with the climate crisis though, it’s caused by good old fashioned massive exploration of the environment for human gain. (This is, of course, not a good thing. It’s an already massively fu

This isn’t a case where you have to wait until after the damage is done though. Making a blanket regulation of “you can’t sell a physical good that has its capabilities artificially limited to create price brackets”, or something similar, w

I’d disagree personally. The idea that you can add things to an infinite set, or multiply an infinite set are actually useful concepts. If you imagine the universe is infinite and as such has infinite stars in it (ω) you could discuss how s

I do find it pretty crazy that anyone would argue against solar (and wind where it’s viable) at this point, it’s just way too cost efficient. (The feasibility and cost of grid scale storage is where my concerns lie)

1)Global. Proliferation risks aren’t as relevant to me as solving the reliance on fossil fuels. West+China probably needs to prove out wide scale usage of it first though. 2) However much is necessary to create a stable grid with as minimal

Fission plants are the only plants we have that are actually useable at this point in time, so of course there’s no reason to clarify. While we should definitely be putting more money into fusion research, if you’re worried about an environ

I feel like most people I know who push Nuclear are already arguing for the use of both, and it’s the renewable side that argues that Nuclear is too dangerous to use or not necessary. Or have you come across a lot of Nuclear proponents argu

In learning and practicing division, you gain an intuition about how numbers are composed. This is an intuition that is useful when you’re trying to figure out if you should pay for that 50 dollar item, or if 6 payments of 10 dollars is a r

I think too many companies have too much invested in their India teams for it to only take a few years for the sector to wind down. Short of some sort of calamity making it impossible for other counties to keep working with them, I suspect

Well I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong for people in less developed countries to work for more developed countries. Even idealistically, the best state might be working for the first world to gain resources to send to the home country as

Russia isn’t a country that’s about the group either though, it’s just a strong oligarchy. And not even an oligarchy that has roots in group based thinking like China, it’s very much an oligarchy born out of western individualism instead. M

Well if your skills and your job are considered static, yeah that’s equally risky. If you have the ability to keep learning and evolve with the job market, then no I think that’s still a much safer option. Or maybe it’s better to say that s
