I run Jupyter lab with R and Python kernels for bioinformatics analysis. I saw it once in some tutorial and kind of liked it more than notebook.

I don’t think there’s a decline, it’s just social media makes the existence of such people more apparent.

> why wouldn't the time of year of a person's birth have an effect on their development? Because whether your parents can provide you with quality nutrition and good education (among 10000 other factors) has much bigger impact.

What should be really scary is that people who believe in any kind of magic(celestial bodies governing your life, wizard man in the sky) will believe anything, because trusting something with zero proof is so familiar to them.

It seems that more religious societies have much less privacy. Like, go back to Middle Ages. It would blow out minds how those people lived.

I think this particular article doesn’t look credible. And the whole “Opinion” type probably shouldn’t be published in journals, just post your opinion on Twitter. That being said, I know for a fact that publically funded Norwegian research

I’m to fried to read it today. Is it based on actual science? I mean people measuring natural phenomena and not just fantasizing about it?

Humanity survived ice age(s) with much less technology. It’s going to take much more than that.

The parent post defined “human rights” as something from holy scriptures. What I can see from being part of highly functional societies is that they require me to give up a big part of my privacy. Like, I can’t get salary without bank accou

> Privacy cannot be defined in solitary situations. : ) Here lies the paradox.

Having rights is a social construct. Unless you believe in divine order of things. But I suspect there’s nothing in physical reality that requires any rights to be granted to anyone.

This is what’s called “anecdotal evidence”.

I don’t think it has to do with academia. It’s just that manipulating data is common if it benefits people. Think of Facebook ad efficiency scandal, it’s just one example.

What we’ve been doing in one of the companies was actively messing up the browser history to benefit ourselves. That’s disgusting, to be honest.

I mean, I think it’s getting there. It’s not like scripts are that elaborate in 99% of the movies.

GPT-6 will write scripts, so that’s a minor setback.

You need to compare that with an alternative solution where this information is learned by each generation and then asses the survival advantage of having it encoded in DNA. This is outside my field and I don’t have a strong opinion.

I think it would have very high energy requirements. For this trait to survive over generations there would need to be a tremendous evolutionary benefit. What would that be for a “primitive image data”?

I get this feeling there’s a perceived opportunity of perpetual innovation in social media space. I don’t want to say “everything that can be invented has already been invented”. But I don’t think that underlying technology and society has

The weirdest thing in all this debate is that selling yourself for porn is perfectly legal. How is prostitution different is beyond me.
