Getting tangential but I believe there many armchair people's perception of this war is that is is going slowly, taking longer than 'expected', fully because of this epoch's speed of news cycle. 'Things' now us

The hackernews crowd wants to pretend they are smarter than the facebookers who fall for fake news. But this is exactly what they do. Even though the original article is now updated to show the fire was not in the plant but outside its peri

Yeah there was this post on here yesterday "Here comes the tiktok war" presuming there was going to be all this media spraying out on socials but then there was just nothing. All the gawkers are asking "huh? Is this war even

It seems stupidly arbitrary to include (in the group characteristics that, if you offend against someone and are partly motivated by ill-will against that characteristic, you get extra time for) 'age' (so "ok, boomer" is

Not criticising but what is behind the (feels like extreme) over-representation of aeroplane, aeronautic, airline industry in the HN topic rotation?

This is such a slimy fake test it makes me side with Elon. The cardboard cutout doesn't behave anything like a child. It behaves like a bit of cloth rubbish which I would hope the car would run straight through.

I already said: First time surgery that might not work is an experiment as much as a treatment. Hypothetically dialling the risk level up - just a matter of degree, still - we'd find ourselves regarding this operation as his sacrifice

Why are these points of view (especially the first) worth noting? They are quoted saying the heart 'should have gone to someone more deserving'. Yes, the precious, rare pig heart. It would be more fitting to look on this guy as a

Lol at the downvotes. This is a legitimate question. Edit: I guess looking at the actual description of the retreat given, people don't actually want to learn about acceptance etc., they literally want to go to a free version of a spa

Before clicking the article I read your comment and guessed that the article might start with a lazily-technicalizing analogy, like "So what does shame feel like? Well, imagine you have two beehives, named A and B, with hive A having A

Wow, sorry to be blunt but 1) it looks AWFUL. I didn't expect it to robustly-successfully redraw sources but this is just a dismal implementation of depth-reduction. 2) Its offensive, insulting, to say that this converts into 'pix

GPT is a joke but Ashby's various "Laws" and "Theorems" are just theories . As in, think "Jung's theory of archetypes". Cyberneticists cribbed hard-sciences terminology for their psycho-speculation f

I finally got through to the demo through three links and it's so busted in so many ways for me that I give up. Maybe it's stupid to try with my old netbook but I don't get any indication of whether I need a fancy graphics ca

It seems to be more of a test/toy. Wally is about 3Mb and you can actually manipulate the textures so they go in right. All I can do here is add pre-prepared pre-formatted images. In what situation do you see this being used? To be fai

I was commenting on the responses though, of "I'm so inspired". People are treating it as if the person has pulled off deathbed salvation, thankfully earning access to the eternal status of "PhD haver" in time.

A PhD is research training. Is he doing to do research now, or is this just, like everyone seems to be treating it - a big trophy? Does anyone ever stop to question their credentialist mindset? I heard a character in a video game say indign
