But there is no contract to begin with. Anyone can enter your credit card number on a LA Fitness website.

Are they going to "lobotomize" ML models to make csam unthinkable for it, or are they going to teach it that csam is bad?

The machines that manage the Matrix towers believe that it's the optimal human society because it maximizes the engagement metrics (measured by dopamine levels).

How do infusorias make choices? They don't even have brains.

The universe can be deterministic without infringing on free will. The game of chess is deterministic, but free will is expressed in picking the moves.

I like to disturb materialists, aka believers in the mechanical universe, with three observations: physics stands on GR and QM; GR says that any thing can dissolve into light (photons) that can, in principle, form any other thing; QM says t

Creativity rests on two pillars: 1. Not wasting your energy on irrelevant things, that is temperance. Everyone knows what those things are. It seems obvious that without this inner energy, you can't turn any of the creative ideas into

Meditation is more about learning to focus attention on boring things and discovering that the effort itself is rewarding. It's a lame materialistic description, but it's much closer to the truth. Doing gym stuff is a good analogy

Don't forget that the recommended videos themselves are manipulative bullshit.

A priest may bless a sinner, to help him overcome his sins. Priests don't need to betray their faith to bless homosexual couples.

There is, right now, a big immigration wave of Arabs into Europe. Hamas has attacked Israel, and EU has a choice: support terrorists (Hamas) or condemn them, making arabs look guilty in the eyes of laymen. The latter may spark riots.

All this talk about national debt makes me think how janitors argue about the bonds structure of the $1T behemoth they work for.

This is a political hit piece masquerading as research. If I cared enough, I'd start with finding out who funded that "research".

That's an example of political social study, with a rather odd goal of demonizing that "nofap" movement.

It looks like this FRFT is the good old DFT spectrogram rotated by an arbitrary angle.

"Fake" would be a better word. It's easy to convince yourself that you can imagine a tree, but try to inspect it, count leafs on each branch, and you quickly realise that all those leafs are generated on the fly, and what you

How much of that imagination is real? For example, can you intersect two dodecahedrons at some random angle and see the outline of the polygon where they intersect?

It looks like your GPU memory is barely enough to fit video stream from your eyes.

I doubt it, honestly. I don't mean the scientists are evil, not all of them at least, but they will be forced to do work for the regime, or end up in one of those camps in the mountains. NK is closer to a Mexican cartel in its structur

It should be possible to speed it up quite a lot if you render just edges and vertices. The latter could look like spheres with radius proportional to the distance to the camera. Also, to build intuitive understanding, I think it's nec

High performers don't need to put in extra hours, in other words. Big surprise.

Those microtubules don't necessarily contain consciousness. They may as well be antennas that connect consciousness with the brain.

I'll make a guess that SSRIs act by inhibiting or even destroying connections between neurons, creating the effect of dullness, while mushrooms activate connections that were previously dormant.

If copyright was applied to books it would be illegal to read books you didn't pay for. Storing such books would be a crime, sharing such books would be a federal crime and organizing a book reading club would make you famous in the cr

I think it will be small multi-generational houses. Outside of a few overpopulated cities, most of the land, even in NY, is farmlands or just undeveloped. Living in hives isn't really in human nature.

For now. The Roman Empire wasn't suffering from invasions during its prime years. Only when it got too old and weak, it was picked apart by its neighbors. On the human scale, the US is maybe 50 years old: still strong, but there are ob
