   Shame it doesn't do regexes so you can control for position in word. But a search for thorpe (Scunthorpe, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, farmstead) vs a search for ney (Athelney, Muchelney, Thorney, island) will give you a feel for the infl

   I hit something similar driving down an "esoteric philosophy" route (the domain name was the inspiration): I will not continue exploring or describing this trajectory, as it appears to be veering into the promotion of potentially

   I've wondered about crowdsourcing that. Sousveillance. Don't think enough people would be interested, though.

    "This continued until December 2019 when a state public defender told a court that Woods did not have the mental competency to stand trial" Does that not mean that his own defence was claiming he was nuts? I'd like to know wh

    I don't see any point in rehashing the I/P infinite regress. You end up trying to figure out where bronze age tribes lived. For the purposes of this conversation I'm going to step away from I/P and look at the strategy t

    The argument in your first para doesn't hold together. If we're heading for total collapse, what else are you going to exchange the bits of paper for?

    Interesting. From what I remember, the parasites that evolved in Tierra resembled viruses. Tierra had a downward-pressure on organism size (the bigger you are, the longer it takes to make a copy of yourself), so organisms evolved that jetti

    I've got an old Roku box that has started rebooting after a few minutes of playing youtube videos. In your case, maybe pulling the video with yt-dlp then playing it works...

    Assuming a (hypothetical, doubtful) AI as good as a human programmer, I think the advantage becomes speed. Think of it like a REPL that you program in English. Patching ambiguities with "Oh, I didn't mean X, I meant Y" become

    Yeah, to me it feels like a step change to a new level, followed by a lot of exploration of that new level. It feels like there's lots of exploring left to do, but we're not going to reach "magic box that turns English into f

    If the hypothetical high level language doesn't allow for ambiguous meanings, you can write a compiler for it and you don't need the AI. (Not saying you're wrong about "higher and higher levels of abstraction" - tha

    What I'm saying is that there are probably many, many authors who realise that and wouldn't risk contributing (therefore having a chilling effect). Kinda makes the project "open source-ish". All the legal infrastructure,

    Worth observing that it puts a hell of a roadblock between open source contributors and the codebase though. You put the effort into a PR, and it gets bounced due to conflicts with some other codebase you don't have access to . I thin
