For once, the Italian fascination with grammar and sentence analysis comes useful. For some context, when moving abroad I felt that most other countries don’t really teach grammar and language analysis to the point that we do in Italy. I di

For example this one: https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/dyp166 It’s a decently big meta-review. It cites studies which more or less say exactly what I said very early, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1007/B

Look at that, there are all exactly the same problems as space data centers! Although I’m surprised by cooling underwater being hard.

This is precisely the picture that I seemed to get when looking at this in depth some time ago. Most meta-reviews highlight a correlation between _number of blistering sunburns_ and melanoma. Not between actual amount of UV exposure. You ma

Absolutely. Even in extended thinking mode it was thinking for only a few seconds in prompts that used to take minutes. Much faster token/s in any mode and significantly worse, exactly as you describe. It seems like they might still be

That’s exactly the thought process of every teenager ever, and also most people who want to connect with their friends through gaming beyond their teenage years. Not everyone experiences gaming the same way.

A genre is a volume in song space. More seriously, there’s no reason you can’t assign more than one genre to a song, or say that “it’s a mix of A and B”. You can extend the concept to albums and artists just as easily. I’m not familiar with

I haven’t used an android device in 2 years, but I was just like you for almost a decade. At some point I got tired of all the micro-annoyances that I had with android and my oneplus phones (my last one was the oneplus 7T), such as awful br

Basically everyone who has played videogames on pc will notice the difference. I easily notice a drop from 360Hz to 240Hz. I also use 60Hz screens just fine, saying that getting used to 120Hz ruins slower displays is being dramatic. You can

Thank you for your clarifications. I don’t really know what to make of these experiences, I know for sure that it can’t be much more than a small percentage of tourists getting pickpocketed. Plausibly, the people with negative experiences a

Southern Italy. We’ve had burglars once actually, but that’s about it. I’ve since then also lived in Switzerland and Sweden, which are obviously much safer. Perhaps I’m too optimistic, but I don’t see the point in worrying about this. I tak

Don’t you think you’ve been influenced by propaganda? You have admitted yourself that you couldn’t even find information on Naomi Wu. I’ve lived in Europe my whole life. I’ve never been robbed or felt unsafe. It’s also a very diverse region

The point is that this is not what people were worried about in the 70s. Even halving the population we’d still have all of these problems. While we obviously don’t suffer from famine, at least not globally. Those predictions have completel

As a relatively young person with good eyesight, I can’t really say that Liquid Glass has caused any real visibility issues for me. I think it looks pretty sleek 95% of the time. The app search when pulling down from the home screen is much

I mostly disagree. > I was not just counting clicks; I was watching behavior. This is completely superfluous. The rest of the paragraph is fine, but the only real ChatGPTism is this one. > They are not just hitting your site and leavi

It’s interesting that this matches _exactly_ the ChatGPT writing style. There’s clearly some human data and work behind, but the entire article has the usual “it’s not just X, it’s …”, bold emphasis on specific words, bullet points, and pro

It’s our job. It’s mundane. It’s only cool again when you step back for these kind of publications, or when you go to a conference and you see a bunch of adjacent (and importantly, completed) work. 99% of the time we look at a screen /

There is no obvious limit to how big you could scale up this experiment right here. In practice, these circuits are already big enough that you can quite literally see them with the naked eye (~mm in length). Nothing really stops you from m

This is pretty much what we do to apply small bias currents to our superconducting circuits. The signals are small (<1 uA), and the power is dissipated outside of the cryostat, so this method is very simple and effective. The voltage and

Apes do have opposable thumbs. They still don’t really engage in any intellectual activity that we can recognize beyond basic communication. They probably have an internal dialogue, but their curiosity and capacity for communication stops a

What we’re exceptional at is survival. To the point where as few as 1% of our species even needs to think about making food. Also, citation needed on the complexity of whale songs exceeding the complexity of human language. But besides, thi

I’ve seen different figures for information content of DNA but they’re all mostly misleading. What we actually inherit is much more. We are the result of an unpacking algorithm starting from a single cell over time, so our information conte

What’s the problem with releasing a server executable? As far as I can tell that would be enough to get around this legislation. And I can’t imagine that to be prohibitively expensive.

Literally it means “things that we wish for”, from the latin verb “desiderare” (to wish).

I would rather have self expression than draconian laws. All Western European countries are as safe as they need to be.

It could also be that their brain is somehow just more optimized. Some extreme outliers (e.g. Von Neumann or Tao) don’t seem to have any significant gaps in their abilities. Although Von Neumann did die of a brain-related issue, so perhaps

Nobody would be communicating with neutrinos or gravitational energy. EM radiation is way easier to emit and detect, and at cosmic distances they all scale exactly identically (inverse square law). The other things you mentioned are mostly
