In my opinion, the main point is that "quality" is highly subjective. High definition may not matter most to some users, at least not compared to acting, direction and photography of the movie. Also I believe the customers of phys

Strange that no one mentioned man pages. I think they're a great doc and almost always contain what I need

EA seems just a modern rebranding of old ideas which this time around appeals to wealthy individuals because it doesn't challenge their wealth

Effective altruism is just nonsense. Giving money "away" is so vague that it's obviously tax discounts. Away to whom? Will give money blindly really help solving problems or keeps them alive? A lot of questions pop up.

Depends of the definition of "fair". To me, giving away infinite free tickets to interested people and then extract with a uniform distribution would be fair. Of course you need to provide some kind of ID and go at the concert wit

Yes talking about scientific method and citing a TV show. Logic

Exactly my thoughts. I don't know anything about medicine, so my ultimate opinion is "I don't know". If I were to guess, the article just describes a well functioning medical structure and the author has some problem wit

Can confirm some of this. The real problem is expensive synthetic stuff. Makes sense to imitate the real deal, since truffles exist in very small quantities. But at least say so.

Interestingly, this article defends traditionally established peer reviewing structures claiming newer reforms aren't needed

This isn't an accurate title since it only talks about a tiny subset of genres available and specifically concentrates on popular (hence historically simple) songs

This I agree with. Context is a thing, saying as the article did things along the line of "Nietzsche was sick so this explains x" is another

that's very different from saying that biography can improve or disprove something! As a matter of facts, Nietzsche writes here about moral purpose of philosophy. "Autobiography" here is a trick; confirming that you must sepa

It doesn't explain the concepts, it explains how the concepts may (big may!) have been originated. It's way, way better to read about what texts Nietzsche read and which didn't.

There can be value in understanding where a thought came from: the problem is reducing all of the thought to its provenance. Nietzsche was sick, hence you must restate the validity of his arguments. This argument is garbage. Try to prove it
467.
by fedeb95 4y ago
That's not what I did. Read better. I state that it's garbage because the very first thing you learn when analysing literature is separating men from their ideas. This article doesn't do that and proceeds to find meaningless
468.
by fedeb95 4y ago
As any article confusing life with literature (or philosophy), ultimately, confusing the author personal life with his ideas, or reaching conclusions between the two, this is mainly garbage. Live your life, read Nietzsche (or whoever else):

That I second. AI such powerful (will they hit a limit? Who knows?) should be public

Yes, I get it's more complicated. Just my perspective. The "should have asked" part includes "and respected negative answers"

If you think about it there's not much difference between fiat money and something pegged like a gold standard. Rich people and the government control it. According to "standard" economists having the gold standard was bad be

Ok, but we don't know which kind of catastrophic event will wipe us out this time. So we can't know in advance which kind of media will survive best. Replication across many mediums seems the best approach, but it doesn't giv

Very interesting. Would be nice to see if conclusions persist using something different from image compression algorithm to estimate Kolmogorov complexity

We can take time to evaluate things and study more. That's not usually the case: immediate profit is usually the driver

I've been reading "I Sumeri" by Pettinato and he says that it's very probable that they are both the same city. However I too am not an expert in this field

Ancient cultures really put things into perspective. Tablets from thousands of years ago: they still persist. Will our culture, 5000 years from now?

by fedeb95 4y ago
I've been fascinated by Sumerian culture lately, it must be awesome to have such close access to Ur. It's amazing how many artifacts are still not translated and for how much such a culture was forgotten.

Solved isn't the exact word. It's something. It's the best we can do. That doesn't justify reckless behaviours in my opinion, just because we don't yet have scientific evidence that they are
