If I go to a restaurant but don’t let them know how hungry I am, is that fraud?

Would it be ok for me to manually mute the ad and spend the 20 seconds on a bit of breath work? I'd hate to do wrong by the monopoly...

I dug around to find the study you're referring to (after a now-deleted comment asked about it). Is it this one? https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/heavey-hurlburt-2008.pdf If so, the interpretation you describe seems p

I'm taking the median of the limiting distribution, and I agree that the sequence of medians you describe does not converge.

That does sound shallow, actually. Once you learn to leave behind the vain realm of sensory experience, then you'll really be able to enjoy quality video games.

you think that high pressure material would just sit there in space, absent gravity?

Can't they block the subdomain?

I can confirm that this is definitely happening, and people are talking about it in the OpenAI Discord server. I've also found other users' email addresses by finding them auto-populated into the email field on the payments page.

Why prescient? Did it really predate the relevant scientific understanding?

Rocks get chewed on by literally anything. Air, water, and yes, microbes.

It's standard practice to plot independent variables on the x-axis and dependent on the y. To my knowledge, this is how learning curves are typically plotted as well, and the use of "steep" is usually a misnomer. Is there a r

In practice, the constant factor and the exponent need to be considered together. The constant factor on its own is very uninteresting, practically meaningless without the exponent. >”Even if all you cared about was the exponent” There

The term “trigger” in this context was initially used by mental health professionals in the context of setting off post-traumatic stress. I believe this here is an example of this primary (non-problematic) usage. It then got politicized an

I see where you’re coming from, and I guess I’m still undecided on the issue. I’d have to re-examine in a specific case if such a rip-off were to be more popular.

I don’t think that’s right. Assets aren’t the only aspect of a program which can be protected under IP law. (Not that I take the law to be the paragon of ethical guidelines)

More discussion on the article in Science here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32435019 Top commenter there seems to find the reporting problematic. I’d love to see more discussion in that thread from anyone who is kn

Some of those listed are remakes of games which are still being developed and sold by their original independent developers (e.g. Baba Is You, Stardew Valley…). Is this acceptable?

So feed them.

The appropriate levels of hype and/or excitement to discoveries in science and math are entirely subjective. You just aren’t as excited about it as their target audience.

Check out some of the reddest galaxies in the Webb image. Even the big ones are entirely invisible on the Hubble image.

The furthest back potentially visible stuff before the dark age won’t be galaxies, which formed after the first stars. We still have never seen a first generation star, and I’d be surprised if Webb could.

I took that comment to mean they had specific treatments in mind they wanted to try, and had difficulty convincing docs to write the Rx.

One of today’s words appeared recently. I don’t know how many 5-letter words there are, but I feel like the optimal time between appearances should be a bit longer. (Not to mention this word is an alternative spelling, which may be frustrat

The above mentioned deflection is weird, but this implication isn’t there. The article is from NPR.
