You have to keep in mind that the original google search, by summarizing search results based on links between pages, essentially destroyed the web of interconnected links that existed at that time, so that the original pagerank algorithm d

That little AI generated summary that seems to show up in every Google search is riddled with errors. I've learned that as often as not it's just making things up or confusing two different topics. I would not trust that thing

Hmm this is a really tough one though. How about, depending on how the person responds you come back with "well that's not what your mom said last night!"

Yes, all the cells at death are divided pieces of cells that were present at birth.

The basic pattern of not having one object construct some other object that has external references to it is.. kind of obvious. I didn't know there was a name for it but sure, I agree, fine. But the way DI is usually implemented is wi

If the epigenetic drift theory of aging is correct, it's because when the jellyfish becomes a polyp again its epigenome is reset to factory defaults, erasing the effects of aging. According to this theory, the reason the epigenome accu

The problem I have with ai generated code is that there was no human who put in the detailed effort to write it. And so if it breaks, who do you ask? What you might end up doing is simply adding more ai generated code. And soon you have

"Back then, wealth mostly came from land grabs, tax farming, and debt slavery. The rich were rich because the poor were poor." With all due respect my friend. That is 100% how it still works right now. That is how it has alw

What a wonderful man! Thank you James.

The solution to that might be to increase funding to the irs; currently the political elites are seeking to kneecap the irs so that it’s even easier for them to evade taxes.

A society of equals needs very little coercion to run, since everyone feels like they have ownership and importance and so everyone feels like they are more or less on the same team. A country in which a wealthy few rule over masses of poo

It’s a peek behind the curtain for sure.

Well I’m convinced at least that there is potentially a significant danger. I’ll stick to microdosing shrooms.

I certainly hope they don’t install any kind of backdoor, because they will give unfettered access to the fbi, and they will likely use that to hunt down marginalized groups (trans women) to eliminate them.

This feels like the work of a highly intelligent person operating on very scant information- it’s easy to construct castles of thought that more or less fit your experiences, but at some point the slow tedious work of conducting experiments

It’s not about emptying them out so much as replacing them with loyalists.

I would say that a pledge that you only keep as long as it’s convenient doesn’t mean much. And neither does the word of the company that made it.

At any rate it doesn’t matter what you or I think or say anymore. Politics in the sense of the people debating and voting is dead now, because democracy is dead. Trump is replacing the whole federal bureaucracy from the top down with loya

Ah, I see. You ignore my question and answer as if I had asked a different one more to your liking. https://youtu.be/CaPgDQkmqqM?si=2yOYdn0aYAOcsYvv I suppose this could be considered a type of gish galloping too. https:&

If we start by cutting services to the public, the tax hikes on the rich are 100% guaranteed to never happen. And then after several years the economy declines, and inequality increases, and tax revenues go down, rinse, repeat and eventual

I think that we should cut the amount of money going towards superyachts and 10,000 dollar bottles of wine, rather than education, infrastructure and healthcare. Which do you imagine will lead to a healthier economy in the long run? Becaus

Isn’t that a plot point in “everything everywhere all at once”? Did she watch that movie and take the silliest element way too seriously?

Quantum computations have to be reversible , because you have to collapse the wave function and take a measurement to throw away any bits of data. You can accumulate junk bits as long as they remain in a superposition. But at some point y

Music is about a bunch of people in a room sharing a feeling and a beat and creating and enjoying something beautiful. People are addicted to their media feeds, their screens, their ragebait and clickbait, and do you know why? Because the

Easy, hate is what those people throwing stones were feeling, and sun is what they were accusing that woman of. You know the verse, right? The hate remains the same today, except now the “sin” is being gay, or getting raped, etc.

I wonder how this breaks down by region. I imagine a heavy car is probably bad in the snow.

Theoretically perhaps, but despite what our internal self-perception would suggest, none of us reading this are actually important enough to resurrect later.
