Formalizing is not the same as discovering. There is still plenty of room for human ingenuity.

fwiw, as a native speaker, your revised version sounds wrong. I'm terrible at grammer, but i think it's because when you put the "with" early in the sentence, it acts as a preposition modifying the noun, where later in t

Did these people never have a blood test/urine test prior to this? Normal Kidney disease should show up on tests long before the stage of collapsing. I'm not a doctor, but if its sudden onset, all in a similar socio-economic-cultu

If you're being serious, i assume its because its primarily a novelty problem, and the economic investment of 4000 computers isn't worth it just for the bragging rights of solving the problem.

I feel like TLDs as a concept are more trouble than they are worth. We should just have .com and get rid of the rest (except special purpose tlds).

Sounds like the dot com bubble to me. many companies went bankrupt but the technology marched on.

in fairness, if you make the same prediction over and over again, you will probably be right eventually by sheer random chance.

I feel like just saying "wrong" to some of these feels a bit unconvincing. e.g. >April 2025: "It also, at this point, is pretty obvious that generative AI isn't going to do much more than it does today." >>

> Most people still go to work every day, Ironically, that is one of the things that have changed. In 1980 working from home was borderline unthinkable. Now, while it is far from universal its also not that unusual.

It does seem like its way too easy to do this kind of fraud. The study seems extremely easy to replicate (no fancy equipment needed, just ask some people to proofread), and yet nobody did until now. Is there some way to change incentives to

The autocomplete seemed to suggest real domains to me. If you typed in garbage it suggested the garbage plus a bunch of common TLDs - that seems like a reasonable choice to me. In any case, if your issue is the list of domains to suggest, i

For some reason, modern americans dont seem to understand that there are other ways to control people than putting a gun to their head, and that is in fact one of the weakest forms of control.

The US tried regime change in 1950. The issue was that china didn't want an american puppet state on its borders so intervened. That is just as true now as it was 75 years ago. Iraq, Libya and Venezuela don't have powerful friends

That's a little over the top. string.lower() is not a security vulnerability. Not following the spec is the security vulnerability.

Yes, that is what people mean by a rules based international order. Its not literally followed rigidly, but there are certain norms that are followed 90% of the time, and that makes things more predictable which is a good thing. How often a
