I can't see how this is simpler or more effective than having 5 state fields, each with a timestamp. I guess it would make writing the query slightly easier, but you can put your clause for any given state into a builder function anywa

Right that’s the point of my original post. I see lots of people trying to understand how QM “works” when it’s just a thing that’s works the way it does. I have never seen anyone trying to understand how light moves in a vacuum, which (at l

Really? How does light travel in a vacuum then?

Well for some definition of the word “bump”. What I mean is that the mechanism by which sound travels is the same as the mechanism by which I can punch a punching bag and see it swing. Even if the two materials never “come into contact” bec

The whole “wave function collapse” thing as far as I understand is simply the result of any measurement involving entanglement. When you measure something by any means you create an entanglement that cancels out the term in the equation tha

What I don't get is why people are more concerned with how Qauntum Mechanics works than they are with the way in which, for example, electro magenetic waves travel in a vacuum. Like we can "physically" understand how sound tr

The term "bank" comes from the Italian word "il banco" which is a bench or counter top. It is a reference to the original money changers who sat on benches and provided financial services to merchants. Those services, wh

You said that, as someone living in the UK, the term "scold" has never in your life been used, ever, as "imply[ing] a woman". Well, the page I linked to describes the Scold's Bridal, and links to a modern day crime

In meditations that I listen to there is a repeated concept that comes up over and over: begin again. Accept what happened, and begin again. You wanted to meditate and get into an empty state, it didn’t happen, your thoughts strayed, so wha

Sub question: was the prompt you used “how would captain holt from Brooklyn 99 describe the song X”? To quote the AI: Meaning of the song "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa is an upbeat, danceable song abo

Right, interesting. The song I thought first to ask about is all along the watchtower because there’s so much disagreement on its meaning and it’s one that everyone classically reads too much into, apparently it’s sort of a nonsense referen

by dools 4y ago
My question is: have you trained this using existing discussions about song meanings, or is it just using an existing model of general language to infer meaning?

by dools 4y ago
Apparently All Along the Watchtower means something quite different when sung by Jimi Hendrix rather than Bob Dylan.

You mean "Prosecute should just make a rule that you can't post about Fauci's plane". Correct pronouns, please.

The emphasis on safety for Fauci's family while simultaneously dismantling community safety rules on Twitter is pretty disconcerting. Prosecute really is a wannabe feudal lord. EDIT: Updated to include Elon's preferred pronoun

Helion tech seems to be interesting in that they use the electricity directly so avoids the costly conversion via steam/turbines etc.
