At first I checked out this happiness survey claim, which is true. Then I was thinking, maybe my initial informal impression was wrong? But looking at the depression and alcoholism data, it also seems to be true! This is really confusing!

Apologies for wasting time on this fluffy comment, but: They're using Finland of all places as an example of somewhere with a reputation of being happy all the time? This is bizarre to me. As a Scandinavian, the thing Finland is know

Yesss... I'm so glad somebody else is still referencing this. Made my day.

I saw the mention of BEAM in the article, and immediately wanted to know more. But I don't have any specific questions unfortunately...

Well. Either "software archaeologist" appears as a profession before the time you pass away, and you get paid. Or, you die first, and then your friend doesn't get paid. I don't think they would have gone for that...

Why would you want LLM content to masquarade as non-LLM content? I think I'd rather have it be obvious if people are going to be using it anyway.

I always assumed that any output from a generative model would be uncopyrightable. And hence, if a company produced, say, notebooks whose only distinguishing feature was being decorated with a generated image, then anyone else would be with

I, for one, enjoy watching the goalposts shift in real time...

For me, boot environments are the killer feature. I think it's the only mainstream OS to really support the concept. Void linux (which is great) and (probably?) the Illumos distributions are the other open source choices, but those are

If the games you want are on steam, check if they are on this list: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ If there is no anticheat (or the anticheat is supported), and the game is on steam, then I would wager that it would "j

This sounds really interesting! How does one get started? Is it expensive?

It might be interesting to try your idea, to see for yourself where the difficulty lies, but be warned that finding general solution formulas for degree 3 and 4 equations is kind of brutally difficult. I'd link to the historical develo

So tell an LLM what you would like the post to say, and then post the output? LLM as the sickness and the cure...

This raises an intriguing idea. The solutions will require children to upload their personal information, including photos. Like roblox. Children are clearly not capable of understanding the ramifications of this decision. So, prompting chi

Not the user you asked, but: Yes, it seems obvious that old pictures are valuable because they are free of photoshop. Not that this means that they are free of manipulation though, c.f. the famous picture of stalin at the river with/ou

I guess the meta level point to teach your hypothetial kid is that media is not an instruction manual? It's true that the characters are very flawed, but perfect characters would not make a compelling story... I guess you are talking a

You are wise to heed them! If you're willing to consider some random username's opinion, I consider it to be possibly the best of all time TV drama, with the only alternative pick being The Wire. I hope you enjoy it!

I think about this at least on a monthly basis. Especially when I start to spend too much time obsessing about storage optimization, or similar. To me, sometimes, the computer is the thing. But it's really helpful to take a step bac

My first thought was red team. Anyone that is capable of complying to the request is in breach. Ctrl-F "red team" found nothing. But then I read the answers and apparently a couple of them had the same idea. Not sure why it's

I make use of multiple user accounts for myself. Every computer has at least 3: root, personal, and work. I don't really understand why it's not more common to maintain separate work and personal logins but I do recommend it. One
