You just should not do things that human beings are good at with automated processes. Things such as: creative writing, painting, dancing that is not pre-programmed, going with the flow, living the moment, having sex, wrestling, cooking, ac

I am aware of that. I am disagreeing in their interpretation and pointing out how convenient it is to define the word cult in the most favourable way possible to the rationalist (or whatever) movement possible. I am therefore inviting eithe

My point was, however, is that it depends on what -- and how -- you write. Style is kind of a pretense. Communication in general is a sort of a mucks game of guessing how to get your point across across the medum, whether that of air, FM-ra

I think style is overrated. Yeah if you write commercially, you are a journalist or a copywriter, sure, you need to write in certain style. There’s rules to this shit. I think it was Hemingway who said that. Then again, the good ones break

Yes word have meanings, often several of them. I chose the one we often use when we say ”death cult”, or ”sex cult” etc. You claim to say you know exactly what meaning the author meant, which either you have to derive from quite careful tex

You do understand what a cult is? There’s a reason why we don’t let the Scientologists run the military no?

I recently remembered a wonderful comic blog from 2010’s that is not online anymore. It was a sonderful Finnish LGTG-thened comic blog that I use to read, then forgot completely until few weeks ago. WM had it stored of course, so I could re

Do not buy a ”smart-TV”, ie. a display with a PC meant to be connected to a network. Anything that has a microphone, camera, speakers is a security hazard and should be only connected to a physically separated local network - I’m discussing

Problem with giving advice on writing is that quite often you end up going against your own advice in the very text you give that advice. But the main point stnds, you should indeed know what you want to say. Tell the audience what you are

If it is high quality use, we would not notice the AI. It would just be good code.

I took a one look at this and my worst reaction was: ”No. Just. No.” I really need to start looking into Graphene OS or something similar for my new phone, when the time comes. Apple used to have great products, but these days…

No, I think it is you who are really jumping into conclusions while being extremely obtuse what those are. Essentially you are basing your claims on research the conductor of you don’t trust. So you trust the data to be certain, but not the

Here’s my five cents: It’s the damn phone. I do think that in the future we have classified today’s platform company app’s as digital drugs (similar to in addictiveness to gambling) and wonder why in the hell people let their kids ge

It seems to me, without digging further into the data, that England sucked, but Wales and Scotland (along with rest of the OEDC) sucked harder. Meaning, they fell in grades, but rose in the ranking, since the decline was less steep. However

See how in your own link one of the authors says indeed how the decline in results is because we have gone too woke: Dworak, a research assistant professor at Northwestern University and one of the authors on the study, is very clear th

I do think legible writing is important. You know how you can achieve that? By learning how to write. If you want to be a software developer you need to be able to write code, if you want to be a runner you have to run, if you want to be a

I am not saying LLM-based software is not useful. For instance, you can use it to verify claims made on HN: What we find is sobering. Submission volume has risen by 42% since November 2022. At the same time, submission writing quality a

Oh c’mon. You must be trolling. Great, now we have have scientific papers with formally correct English, but data and sources of which are fabricated and most of the paragraphs are utter nonsense. And publications are drowning on these. Oh

Currently they don’t seem to be. At least OpenAI is haemorrhaging money left and right. Thing is, the compute for all this is far more expensive than anyone is willing or able to pay.

I don’t really care of anyone’s predictions, whether that of Altman or Zitron. I can make a prediction that sun will collapse into itself and stop shining. I would probably be right as long as I don’t give any too strict timeframe to ky pre

Most of the lines in that soliloquy is over 10 syllables, so it technically can’t be in pentameter. So either I am very confused about my understanding of the English poetry or this: Most of the show is written in iambic pentameter. I b
