Based on your recommendation, I just read the first chapter, a harrowing account of how the first sub-based spy mission against Murmansk went catastrophically wrong. During a rescue operation in the Arctic ocean, several submariners were to

I don't own a car and don't have AC. Still, my emissions and resource consumption are far too great. To long term stabilize climate we need to be poor, compared with today. Tough sell in a democratic society.

Probably "we do not strive for growth in the farm's output". However, I'm not sure these people understand how much more expensive food would become without pestizides and fertilizers. Degrowth means literally to be poor

Not OP but I feel like them. Been on Reddit since 2008, daily user, exclusively used niche subreddits. It was an addiction. I feel so much better since quitting it end of last year. I read books now, or the actual material reddit was talkin

Same search pattern as you. I have the verification problem only if I do it from the net of my research organization, never if I do it privately. Not sure why, just a pattern I observed.

You obviously have not been around non-profit, government run entities. The waste they create, the inefficiency inherent in such enterprises is terrifying. Yesterday I looked at a huge box full of perfectly fine laptops and monitors we will

You are missing the point that the developer needs a good working relationship with Reddit. He said very clearly that for him this is not about the money but about a passion project of his.

I quit Reddit half a year ago after 15 years of daily usage. 11/10, would quit again.

15-year-club here: This time it feels more being about Reddit itself than about specific persons, like with Ellen Pao. Just the vibe I'm getting. Anyway, I quit cold turkey end of last year after being a daily user for those 15 years.

This looks fantastic, exactly what I needed last time I worked with DBs and could not find. Hope to be using it soon.

If they wouldn't, the Netherlands would literally not exist. Not only are large parts of the country below sea level, there is also the constant threat of flooding via Maas (Meuse) and Rhine. Raising levees is not enough, water managem

Thanks for this, it takes courage, skill, and honest reflection to give such a clear picture of what you are going through. And yes, to me it looks like you are courageously fighting.

We are trying to. Absent first principles of cognition (which are nowhere on the horizon), we are defining tasks such that if a machine can fulfill these tasks, we classify it as AGI. This is exactly what Turing came up with as criterion fo

Is it established that Minsky did, in fact, have sex with Giuffre? She said so in her deposition, and said it would have been on the island. But Minsky's wife said that was impossible because they were always together.

I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. Copilot is extremely helpful. But more often than not, it suggests completions which would steer the project in another direction. It is extremely good once the code has been organised and

Good points, and I really appreciate your work. You are addressing a real problem. I'm simply skeptical that someone who can make use of Claude (or any LLM) for data analysis is in need of making use of it. Let's hope I'm too

I'm not sure about this approach. From what I have seen, most researchers have no idea how to get their data in a format which can be efficiently analysed. Once you have that, it's trivial to do any kind of statistical analysis. I

I do use ChatGPT very often for Python and SQL right now, but you really have to know what you are doing. The errors are sublte but such that the code more often than not would not run.

Oh god, this is so much me. I seem physically incapable of executing any task beyond 80%. Otherwise I work very quick and thorough, so it takes a long time for others to catch on. Medication helps a lot, but not in that regard. No matter wh
