"But the scale of the potential impact is mind-concentrating" I've never heard this expression before. Is it common in English? Sounds to me like it is a descendant of "mind bottling" which again is a corruption of

Interesting. My hometown in Austria recently installed new lampposts; and all of them are downward-facing. I don't know if this was a conscious decision to reduce light pollution, but it worked wonders. The roads are better lit than be

He IS longer and thinner. Pause the video at about 0:25, when they are standing in front of the castle bridge, to compare Luigi and Mario.

Do they mostly work now? I remember trying a San Andreas Multiplayer Mod quite a long time ago, but it was ridden with bugs and basically unusable. Thank you for reminding me these exist, in any case.

He's also currently working on a "Super Mario 64"/"Zelda: Ocarina of Time" crossover (unless the project has been abandoned) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v2zXB-YUZ8

Same in Austria. It's commonly called "Maggi-Kraut", because it tastes very similar to a sauce produced by Maggi (which is now part of Nestlé). Funnily enough, the sauce doesn't contain any lovage.

Ah, interesting, I hadn't heard about that. Seems like it should work in Edge then, at least with minimal changes: WebExtensions APIs are inspired by the existing Google Chrome extension APIs, and are supported by Opera, Firefox, and

There has been a uBlock version for Edge for quite a while now; or am I missing something? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/ublock-origin/9nblgg...

Sure, but I'm not saying that human "understanding" is "better", only different from current AI. But who knows, I could be wrong and at a certain layer of abstraction they might be quite similar.

by dEnigma 9y ago
Right, that was one of the reasons why I put the word in quotes. But I'm sure that if one were to define "understanding" with regard to humans, then what the AI does would be far from it. I might be terribly wrong here though

Also, the other way around works even better in my opinion. That is, translation from German into English. I tried it with a few excerpts from a philosophy text book and the results were impressive. Your point that the AI doesn't &quot

What do you mean? It's barely more than half of the goal.

Still, it's not a criminal offense to violate TOS. Worst case your account gets deactivated.

Interesting. Is that supposed to restrict access to adult content? Do porn sites also ask for the social security number?

The only time Facebook asked me for ID was after I copied the profile of my friend for a laugh. After a while the account was blocked and I would've had to provide identification to prove I was indeed my friend and unblock the account

The actual words on the entrance of Auschwitz were "Arbeit macht frei". So it should probably be "EBIT macht frei"? The meaning is the same of course https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei

Interesting. I always heard it as "John Hopkins", and I guess every time I read it I also auto-corrected it to "John" in my head. It's actually his great-grandmother's maiden name[1] [1] http://www.ho

Just a bit of nitpicking: Caro Coffee is made from roasted barley, malted barley, chicory, and rye; not wheat. Wikipedia has a list of coffee substitutes[0], but the only one I know and can recommend is barley malt coffee, which you've

Interesting. I have to admit, I didn't even know there were MasterCard/Visa debit cards. If I may ask: Why do you think Maestro debit cards are "worthless"? Because they aren't part of the whole MasterCard/Visa

Anecdotal of course, but here in Austria I know a lot of people without credit cards (myself included). The people who own credit cards are mostly frequent travellers, since it's easier to buy plane tickets if you have one (I was lucky

It's frustrating. Most people seem to know about OpenOffice as a free alternative to Microsoft's Office Suite, but hardly anyone has heard about LibreOffice. Which leads to people trying out OpenOffice and concluding that Open Sou
