The reason I don't switch is because a 0.5L coke has around 210 calories. You're only supposed to consume around ~2000 calories per day, so even with 4 cokes in a day that's almost half of calorie intake. So not an option for

It was poorly communicated in my post but what I was referring to there were earlier programs like in 2015 and not SD and newer ones. If you put in an image of a landscape it could fill out the landscape with eyes and elbows all over the ge

Actually I should have mentioned this in the original post but I think the "3 arms" thing is kind of a bad example come to think of it. I think in general at least with SD, if's very unlikely to create 3 arms or or 8 arms if

I get your point, but I also think it depends on what you mean by oversimplification. Of course there is _a lot_ of stuff going on and things like SD capture all kinds of information, not just what I described, however, any way you want to

Not sure if I'm missing a subtle nuance in your point but to me those "artifacts" are completely expected. Those artifacts like 3 arms are the patterns / outputs in the model, but since it doesn't have a fundamental

I slapped together a really quick script to get oldest videos via Youtube API. It goes through all the videos from a playlist ID and then writes them to a html file with oldest first. Looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Zx

I have a hypothesis about this type of feeling but it is work in progress and probably not finished. I think one primary reason why we feel this loneliness is because we fear the situations where we might need other people, in particular si

I suppose so... Not sure about the second part but for the first part I think that comes from the idea that I don't think we've ever empirically or even subjectively observed the universe in any other state than "now". W

I feel like I must be missing something but in the part about the relativity of simultaneity [0] I feel like this is more about the relativity of the observers and the limitations of speed of light than it is about the ontology of time itse

I think we can't trust our emotions. Evolutionary speaking it was probably a good idea for the brain to send a signal for us to be with the group so that we don't stray off alone, and as such this manifested in some brain function

I love this! I'm exactly like the author except a little less organized. Some of my insights just to add to this: 1) I started curating existing collections to delete/cut down size. So I have a tv shows folder and I made a _cut fo

If everyone is unmasked and the Omicron variant seems to burn through the vaccines in terms of infection but not serious illness, does that mean that it can lead to more mutations and more _bad_ mutations if so many people get it? What&#x27

The way I read it was that Matt saw that WP needed to evolve to compete with everything else that exists, and that the volunteer release lead model that they used before could never lead to anything like Gutenberg in such a short time. All

One thing I think is interesting about the paper is how complex systems (like the brain) change over _time_ rather than at fixed points, and if those changes are computable in any meaningful way. Like if we created an AI 100 years ago, coul

Great list thanks, I love LGR. If you don't mind my asking - do you know any channels or places that do full longplays of games on original hardware with no emulation? I try my best to find walkthroughs on games on youtube but they ver

Yours is a possibility but I personally think the opposite is true - if all thoughts were made public everyone would understand each other much better (100% empathy if ALL thoughts were known), and thus there would be no monsters or mentall

I think Blogger is still the best and most flexible platform. Pros of blogger: 1) Extremely free speech and very little moderation (as long as it's legal) 2) Allows adult content 3) Can have ads for free 4) Unlimited photos (for images

Regarding the "tragic" part of the post... It feels like there are more people learning Python and other things like that than there were 10 years ago. Linux is built into Windows, there is a lot of github activity, is all of this

I think the devil is in the details when it comes to this argument. Some philosophy speculation ahead. 1) It's unclear which parts of our perception reflects the real world and which don't, and also how to measure how accurate the

I really think (and hope) that VR will be the medium for watching 3D movies. They don't solve the IPD issue, but when I have found 3d bluray movies that work for me without issue, the comfort level is great, the immersion is great. Onc
