Why is it fluff? I know nothing about Prince other than that he changed his name to a symbol (and that is because Eminem told me). Knowing that he used symbols in other ways could add context to his choice to change his name to a symbol.

"Tomino also lamented that he had noticed a fundamental change in his own creation over time. In the case of Gundam, however, the creator says it’s been driven by audience taste rather than shifting production techniques."

The Wind Rises makes me cry every time. It resonates with me in specific personal ways, however.

Why do you think this is post-scarcity?

I like the AskHistorians subreddit, but I haven't found much else. I think AskHistorians and Stack Exchange have a somewhat high "barrier to entry" for actually answering questions, which might be part of it. (I mean this in

What's wrong with Stack Exchange? I'm a Math Stack Exchange user and I think it's absolutely amazing for the knowledge seeker. It's a repository of high quality questions and answers that you're not going to answer

I'm also an academic, if that matters for some reason, and I think it doesn't matter how many people didn't understand something. They must have been confusing themselves by seeking answers in the wrong direction. What matter

The Monty Hall problem has a simple resolution. At the beginning you had a 1/3 chance of picking the good door, and 2/3 chance of picking a bad door, meaning you probably picked a bad door at the start, so you should switch.

Can it be proved that any work generated with one of these models (i.e., music generation, visual art generation, writing generation) isn't blatantly stealing from something in the dataset? If the dataset is large enough, how can you k

Second this. Even if you don't remove the other features, removing the comments alone is a godsend.

People should be arrested for "Thoughtcrime" if their thought crime is the assertion that they are about to kill people.

"People are not their ideas." I disagree with this. If people are not their ideas, then why arrest people who join terrorist groups or write manifestos saying they want to harm people? If people are not their ideas, then why give

How "far" from the training art is the resulting generated art? Do the generated cards have features which are recognizably lifted from the training data?

'Bells' are pretty un-specific as far as specialization goes. The average person actually knows what a bell is. The PhD theses in mathematics are likely far less applicable and far more specific. Check out the titles on arxiv and

"Whether it's a waste of time or not, I don't think it really impedes the serious math learners." I thought about this for a bit. Suppose we kept the number of teachers (or courses) fixed, but eliminated the gen-ed math

I was really thinking about the lack of 1-2 years of general education classes before a major can be declared, at university, with that particular remark. I know this to be the case in several European countries, and India; in India you cho

What did I say which was ideological?

by WhyOhWhyQ 4y ago
I am. I'm still curious about what I've said that you think is ideological. There were several mistakes, at least in your writing, which are well-outlined in my post history.

I'd be interested in trying out the following idea: How about we don't mandate mathematics and science courses in high school, and especially in early college? The benefits of this are two-fold. The people who want to pursue other

"And if you read that one sentence in the context of the sentences that precede it, it is quite clear that the sentence means exactly what was written." I disagree, but who really cares anyways. Have a nice one! Edit: "This i

I want to point out that scare quotes connote doubt or disdain or sarcasm, so it seems like a mischaracterization to say they "literally wrote that", as if you two are in agreement. You're sort of subtly evolving your argumen

Forgive me for continuing this thread, but the original poster does not seem to imply that overrepresentation is the reason we don't focus on Asians. They actually use scare quotes when using the word 'overrepresented'. You a

As much as wokeness is about inclusivity, it is also about redefining out-groups and, usually implicitly but often explicitly, justifying prejudice against them. I'd personally be appreciative of less of that negative activity.

The person you're responded to stated: "There is no discussion on the Chinese Exclusion Act and Japanese concentration camps of WWII." You're making their point by disregarding that bit.
