Was it during Galileo's era or was it a much earlier time with Greek philosophers when the idea of heliocentrism was rejected because the lack of parallax movement of the stars? The idea of stars being so far away they wouldn't s

To some extent, physics/chemistry/etc. challenge the notion that free will exists, but that challenge is far enough removed and rarely touched upon that people who believe in free will don't feel that modern science is attack

This is a key difference, but I think it plays less of a role than it initially appears because growing knowledge of employees helps building better artifacts faster (and fixing them when things go wrong). Short term, the login form is des

I think I'm around A2 in Japanese and find myself kinda scared by all these talking apps. I don't mind texting, because it gives me time to look up what I don't know and much more time to think about my response, but talking

This implies adding tests that accurately capture all the nuances of the function and don't test the simplest logic need to hit code coverage. When we are talking someone new to the function, then this is about the same as asking them

Shelter (and, for many, transportation) are a need for maintaining their ability to make money. As such there is some minimum amount that must be spent on these, and loans costing up to that amount can be seen as ways of making money. Mos

Many humans not only could, but do and will keep doing so. The catch is that we have systems in place that keep these impacts from being harmful. Largely by preventing people without the ability to self reflect and improve their actions f

Is that specifically the case? This feels like an area where our language can fail to capture the nuance of what someone is trying to say and it gets misstated as something really similar but different. To give an example, take 3 people na

It is a logical fallacy if used as part of an absolute claim, but it doesn't make it always wrong when used in general statements. Some slopes are slippery, we can look at history to see this. We can't claim all slopes are slipp

The problem with any laws for a good purpose is that, even if you can get everyone to agree on the general statement of a good purpose, there are disagreements on what actually counts as achieving the goal from both a moral and a scientific

I think they were speaking to hallucinations. That is the case of a novel idea, often one that even sounds pretty plausible to a casual observer, but which isn't useful (arguably worse than simply being useless given it can trick peop

It is an interesting thought experience, what would you do differently if you have your current wisdom, but not your current knowledge. This isn't a clean distinction, because people see different boundaries on what is wisdom and what

Apologies for the delayed response. In my previous post, I was considering the cases that currently involve a bank, not those involving crypto. When someone goes to crypto to bypass the existing systems (safety or otherwise), I think that

A complete ban feels like overkill. A cooldown period of X years would give someone time to reconsider and grow as a person. Granted, this is without consider the financial side of things.

Doesn't that already happen? I've read stories from people in the US who are fooled, and as such, are marked as high risk and have their accounts closed. The rate it happens might be greater, but the total increase in harm from

Isn't this related to why the busy beaver is the fastest growing program, given that at some N states it would be able to emulate any closed form function and then at some greater number N + M states be able to use that function in mor

I find agent mode much more powerful as it can search your code base for further reference and even has access to other systems (I haven't seen exactly what is the other level of access, I'm guessing it isn't full access to t

Have you tried the agent mode instead of the ask mode? With just a bit more prompting, it does a pretty good job of finding the files it needs to use on its own. Then again, I've only used it in smaller projects so larger ones might

One benefit is when working on multiple code bases where the size of the code base is larger than the time spent working on it, so there is still a gap of knowledge. Agents don't guarantee the correctness of a search the same an old s

So if I'm understanding this, there are two central arguments being made here. 1. AI Coding leads to a lack of flow. 2. A lack of flow leads to a lack of joy. Personally, I can't find myself agreeing with the first argument. Flow

One thought I had while looking into regression recently is to consider the model created with a given regularization coefficient not as a line on a 2 dimensional graph but as a slice of a surface on a 3 dimensions graph where the third dim
