This response looks really bad for ZenDesk. This is blatant dishonesty- the post documented in detail that the reward had already been denied, and the issue ignored multiple times before they contacted 3rd parties. That is not an ethical vi

I’ve used MacOS with an old IBM model M for 20 years… I map the caps lock key to CMD, as I dislike and never use caps lock.

Why not? I can’t see any reason to waste time booting when your computer can be ready to go in an instant, with everything you were working on undisturbed.

Science is philosophy, albeit just a branch of it- specifically the part concerned with learning how the universe works physically. Other branches of philosophy study other things, and are good at understanding those things they are about.

I agree, trying to not be desperate when you are lonely can be a real catch 22. Gradually building up a strong circle of good friends is the main thing that gives social confidence and makes you non-desperate, but that is little help to som

It seems surprising to me that you are saying you have this issue with a lot of people, when I find this type of behavior to be fairly rare- although I agree it can be really obnoxious when it happens. I could be wrong about this, but is it

Doing hobbies that involve other people has helped me make a lot of friends- for a lot of men in particular, this is often really the only way to build friendships. Learning how to be emotionally vulnerable is key to actually connecting wit

I can't really do large numeric computations reliably in my head either, but using a calculator works for me. Maybe let the LLM use a calculator? It seems to me that we actually already have this and it works great. For example, I aske

It is not in any way related to my own area of research, I looked into it as a parent wondering what would be best for my own kid. However, there is not really that much research out there on this- so I was able to review much of the primar

I am an academic scientist and generally a careful and skeptical person, but having read the peer reviewed literature myself, I think there is enough evidence to be concerned that water fluoridation at the levels currently used could possib

That concept is so broad and generally useful it can only be broadly represented by something like Timothy Leary's statement of "think for yourself, and question authority." Of course, knowing for sure specific facts showing

You are making the mistake of confusing a mind with a human mind… a vastly different type of mind should not be expected to be good at everything we are good at, even if generally far more intelligent. I think people generally make the same

Same, the first time I ever had a cup of coffee I missed two nights sleep. I have only done 23andme not a WGS like you, but I have at least one liver enzyme SNP that dramatically slows down caffeine metabolism. It took me quite a while to r

Caffeine affects people differently… it has very intense effects on me- I would never call it “very very mild”

I’d say it goes very much against the spirit and idea behind the Turing test to fail an AI for having superhuman abilities it fails to hide. As much as I admire Turing, I don’t think this particular idea of his was a sound one- an intellige

Anyone know what the specs are, e.g. number of states, symbols, and tape size?
947.
by _yb2s 2y ago
There still is no shortcut -you will still need to actually compute out those states to see how long they run. The fact that for very simple machines this is possible on modern computers does not avoid or solve the halting problem. I’m not

The early to mid 90s E class aka W124 definitely went down in history as one of the best quality and best designed cars ever made. Other luxury cars may be faster, more fun, or have more features… but the W124 probably is “the best” if you’

I stayed at a dorm on campus for a week at Trinity, but the book was so popular I couldn’t bring myself to wait in the long line to see it… but wish I had.

Thanks- how did it work out for you? Is there a more hackable model you'd recommend, e.g. one that can be turned into a bipap?

I'll try but it is Kaiser- typically at Kaiser these judgements are out of the physicians control, they will fund a treatment only if you hit some specific number on a test- and it is virtually impossible for the doctor to override thi

Yes, I did a real sleep study and they said I do indeed have "mild" sleep apnea but it "isn't bad enough that we are willing to treat it." I do usually need several naps to get through a typical day- and that is aft

I really like the Oura, and have had a 2nd gen which works great for nearly 7 years- battery still going strong. However the 2nd gen had no monthly subscription fee, which I really hate... I am not sure if I would be willing to upgrade, as

Since it's pretty much just a sleep monitor, I only wear mine while sleeping, and keep it on the nightstand. Much much better than the Zeo headband I wore for sleep monitoring many years ago.

You can export the data and analyze yourself- I do so with mine, but there is no open interface to connect directly with the device, you cannot avoid sharing your data with them.

I don’t use 100 percent effort when actually training- only during competition. Mostly because the risk of injury, equipment required, and safety preparations for 100 percent effort are substantial- and the recovery time afterwards takes a

I imagine, being an art form, there is almost limitless possibility for complexity and difficulty in dance. However, I would argue the same is also true for strength sports, which ultimately are a type of martial art. I don’t think one is c

I have experience with a few types of dance including salsa and bachata, and also compete as a strength athlete- and find some of the more complex weight lifting moves- such as the push jerk- a lot harder and more technical than anything I’
