It's a tool. The cleverness and artistry comes from the humans, not from the tools they use. The AI isn't creating the fresh ideas. People are.

This was my first programming language. I built a text-based adventure game. Good memories.

I don't like nanny state policies like this, but hopefully we'll get some data about social media usage from this after a few years. Prediction: the policy was both difficult to implement and difficult to determine if it made any

I follow a few popular travellers on YouTube and they had almost identical experiences. Here's hoping their new oil wealth will improve their infrastructure and reduce crime.

I agree with your overall point, but I would add that technology has significantly increased leisure time, and the fact that communication platforms are how many people use that extra leisure time proves their value beyond what you might ex

Non-native species don't exist when you use long time scales and realize humans are species too. Inheritors of the Earth: How Nature Is Thriving in an Age of Extinction by Chris Thomas is an interesting book on this topic.

Doing the dishes is a nice balance of meditative, boring, and feeling accomplished. A good nightly chore. Exercise can backfire in terms of sleep. A bit earlier in the day and it's great. But not right before bed, at least not in my ex

Also a 90s kid. I hated going to bed as a child (all that wasted time!) but my parents cleverly said I could read in bed if I wanted to stay up. I usually fell asleep within an hour or two anyway, and I ended up reading a huge number of boo

The older I get the more sympathy I have for people who claim they didn't become traditionally successful due to adhering to ethical principles. I used to think that was just cope. But now I've been in a few situations where there

It's an exciting dream. Even better than hand crank or solar would be miniature nuclear batteries that run for a decade or two. Can't wait for those to become available commercially.

Read my comment again. I said within a few years of being drafted. That's accurate. Instability was apparent before the blood actually began flowing.

The founders feared the will of the majority partially because they saw the instability in France and recognized the dangers of mob rule. Within a few years of the drafting of the constitution, the reign of terror began. The majority isn&#x

I don't pretend to have a solution, but in my experience people underestimate how much energy can be gained by properly taking care of their bodies. Everyone I know who has high energy levels takes their sleep, diet (and weight), and e

A well-formatted table of contents nearly always ensures I won't be reading blog spam. I use them for my annual book review posts. No idea if anyone ever uses them, but damn are they pretty to look at.

This seems like a major point of confusion on the subject. I agree with your interpretation, but there are those charts which show varying degrees of clarity of mental images (using an apple), I don't understand how to square that with

My conscious thoughts are verbalized in my head, and it is somewhat slow, but I also have a sense of intuition, which is very fast, though works best in silence. I can pull things from intuition into conscious thought, but explaining why I

They didn't need trees to survive, as proven by their survival. The claim is that their population hit a plateau due to the space available for farming, instead of dramatically collapsing as previously claimed. If survival is the metri

The claim is that a significant portion of the expense is due to poorly crafted and outdated regulations. With regulatory reform, nuke power would be more economically reasonable.

Yeah, it only takes a lapse of concentration to slip into bad form when you're lifting heavy. I went to a personal trainer in order to learn proper form, and he told me I wasn't ready for barbell lifting yet. It took about 6 month

When dreaming, if I try to do math or anything difficult, my mind does a nifty trick where it just skips all the hard steps and gives me a result. I must usually accept these results, but occasionally, I don't, and that's often wh
