I don't at all agree with that. Or at least, it's only true enough to be misleading and to downplay/obscure the real concerns I'm raising. Because, of course it's true not all my friends are just like me. But I don&

I think the misunderstanding, in fact, is in reverse, demonstrated by the above comment. The networking required for career growth is, for many people, never going to pleasurable. My social circles don't have much overlap with, for exa

I think that's a bit of a trap. It's not impossible, but by default we should expect it to make games less fun . The better you make this infinite narrative generator, the more complicated the world gets and the less compelling i

Well if the sugar is ultra-processed, yes it does, doesn't it?

Pretty cool, and also pretty fucking bad. Checks all the AI boxes, I guess. I tried "a classic set inspired by Armored Core". It gave me a typical-looking Armored Core (which would be good except it was supposed to be the king), a

It's possible, but only because we don't know what dark matter is. But that doesn't seem to be a leading explanation.

The GP poster simply misspoke - for the last 10-15 years replace "minivan" with "SUV". For many people, even single people without children, the default vehicle is giant, wasteful, and deadly.

Reminds me of going through my old toy chest with my parents. Most of what I found I just tossed - my mom wanted to offload to goodwill but I was sure few of them were worth it. The items I wanted to keep were mostly either silly figures of

Democracy is not exactly a single thing though, but current forms kind of do have that quality, yes. "Casting binary votes on specific questions and no take-backs" is actually a kind of terrible model of democracy. There's go

Definitely weird results, but I feel there are too many variables to learn much from it. A couple things: 1. The author mentioned that tokenization causes something minuscule like a a " " at the end of the input to shatter the mod

Nothing you just posted is relevant to the conversation. Most HN readers can't quit their job on a whim without putting their household in jeopardy. That's the sentiment you're responding to.

Tulsi Gabbard??? She is completely different, she is an opportunistic cult follower without ideals or ideas of her own. Doesn't really matter much now though.

Super confused here because the distinction seems completely clear to me? Relatively few plants, when mature, will start growing clones up from their roots, but it's a known growth pattern. They're called suckers, and I've ne

Pando isn't a bunch of individual clones though, it's a single contiguous organism.

Human CEOs generally aren't held liable for their actions, so why would AI need to be? Once again, I think we're just smoothing out a wrinkle here.

Sleep quality, if excluding DIS, DMS, EMA, usually will refer to things like apneas, nasal congestion, digestion, noise or light in the room, etc. Disturbances that don't wake the person but do tax the brain.

> individuals are very much allowed to hold prescriptive beliefs - that is how language evolves. I think, actually, it's the case that language evolves around those people who are too stubbornly prescriptivist.

I have to second this, uncomfortably. Last dermatologist I saw, when I walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. It looked like a "skincare" store full of branded junk. Nope, that's the office - it's just also a sto

Maybe? Depends on what level of manufacturing and materials they achieved. Even then, not super likely. Statistically, bones don't survive that long :) It could just be a matter of time till we find a lucky break. (Again - probably n

Then what's the point of ever talking about LLM capabilities again? We've already hooked them up to other tools. This confusion was introduced at the top of the thread. If the argument is "LLMs plus tooling can't do X,&q
