I've had the experience of having migraines with aphasia- this is essentially a migraine aura that affects the part of the brain that processes language. I can confirm that while this was happening, i was aware of my surroundings and

I can't really hold my attention on a conversation with an AI for very long because all it does is reflect your own thoughts back to you. Its really a rather boring conversation partner. I'm already pretty good at winning argume

140k is significantly more money than I've ever made in my life. Where I live, really the line where life becomes a real struggle is about 80k I would say. Below that, you're putting off maintenance, not saving money, the car is

The drummer in my band was the type of person who become anybody's friend in a few minutes. I watched him and gleaned this advice: When you meet someone, your goal should be to get a little look into their inner world. Find out wha

Ah I remember running a serial cable from my bedroom to the hallway so we could play 1v1 quake via direct connect. Good times! I think we used to play age of empires that way too.

Oh honey. I wasn't born with this attitude you know- it was beaten into me. Nothing is punished so swiftly and severely as outshining your boss or making him look stupid.

No reason to risk making the humanity killing doomsday machine appear even a minute sooner, and besides, you wouldn't listen. I said something because im a fool who cant keep her mouth shut. It was reasons of emotional catharsis havin

Tell you what, here's a story from my last job. I was hired on to help run these experiments with a machine they were trying to perfect. They wanted to do all this stuff with running two machines in parallel, dumping the refuse from

Ugh why do you care so much? Leave me alone. The big insane statement i made was "i have some idea of what the next bit of advancement will look like". Transformers are a special case of a much more beautiful general principle

If someone else comes along and makes the exact claim I just made, I won't believe it either

Well it kind of sucks honestly because im never going to get any sort of recognition, but that's partly by choice and partly because I don't have the right personal connections. I 100% understand why all of you think I'm a s

999999 times out of a million you'd be right. But, I shouldn't have said anything.

I know how it looks. I shouldn't have said anything- it was pointless. At any rate someone else will figure out what i know soon or already has.

I have some idea of what the way forward is going to look like but I don't want to accelerate the development of such a dangerous technology so I haven't told anyone about it. The people working on AI are very smart and they will

Sure- when I talk about trying to avoid choices when it comes to fashion, I am describing myself. I thought when I was young that people who i saw presenting themselves in a way that seemed deliberate were being artificial, and in order to

"Given that The Paris Review portrayed itself as studiously apolitical—recall William Styron’s famous anti-manifesto in the first issue, fashioning it as a home for “the non-drumbeaters and non-axe-grinders”—Matthiessen’s CIA involveme

The life path of "going to school, then going to unviersity, partner, kids, work, work, living daily live, getting old, dying" is, other than the kids part, utterly horrifying to me and feels like not living at all. Why even both

Marijuana makes me feel like im living inside of a badly written play where the script was written by a new hire at the last minute, none of the actors know their lines and the plot makes no sense. I dont like it. Alcohol gives me migraine

Yes, I experienced the same, it was like what they call in cinema a "jump cut". I remember the doors to the OR opening, then bang i was in a bed in the recovery room. Like the universe glitched.

Welll. On guitar you cant really use the "matching the beats" or the thing where you play the 4th on the string below and make them sound in unison, because if you do that all the way up the neck your guitar will be tuned to Just

I haven't noticed that effect, to be honest. Actually I think its the really low bass frequencies that are harder to tune- especially if you remove the harmonics and just leave the fundamental. Are you perhaps experiencing some high f

My number one principle of UI design is this: The things the user does most frequently need to be the easiest things to do. You expose the stuff the user needs to do quickly without a lot of fuss, and you can bury the edge cases in menus. S

No, we all hate it, but the number of senators and members of congress who would vote to replace it could be counted with one hand. The reason is simple: the insurance companies give those senators millions and millions of dollars and nobo

My kids love that game! But it's not destroying lives, more like committing a series of naughty pranks (like, you can sneak into a TV studio and interrupt a broadcast by honking and flapping about).

I am unable to comprehend the state of mind that would lead a person to publish an ad like this. Like, you can't make a job a part of your core identity. Everyone there is going to forget you 10 seconds after you quit. Which, you

Yeah I don't know why people pay attention to those things, in terms of accuracy you might as well give your uncle 5 or 6 beers and tell him to just go off.

Maybe we just live a charmed life but me and my husband just never worried about it, nor did we either go out of our way to expose our kids to nuts or avoid them. We gave them little bites of whatever we were eating and later we started gi
