Ironically I was just about to drop in absurd-sql [1] to a project, which uses indexeddb to back SQLite. This seems better. [1] https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql

The point is that if it is reasonable or maybe even worthwhile to wear when off, then it can support all-day wear (not all day use) given power constraints, which makes it a lifestyle product not a gadget, like a watch. Put it on when you l

Sure my point had nothing to do with the user experience but the post-mortem on what to make of what actually happened and what needs to be done about it. In that context it is highly relevant. The person I was responding to seemed to be as

Not sure what you mean. If autopilot has a bug then there is a good chance a lot of other cars do too, since (afaik) autopilot is not at its core Tesla proprietary tech like FSD.

It’s unclear because FSD is supposed to switch to autopilot on highways. The driver said it was in FSD mode but they may just not realize that switchover occurs.

An interstellar object created by aliens arriving here doesn’t imply interstellar travel, if you meant that to mean “manned craft.”

I thought he was referring to typical in-process encapsulation. If you do that well, you can run those separately “for free” optionally, but I think his definition of module is nothing unique.

You could say this about any criticism of mainstream practice. This is not a rebuttal and contains no new information. Actually, I lied - this post is actually a strawman: it contains the information that you actually didn’t understand the

Weird - I thought his post was very kind to the work of OpenAI and was extremely balanced in how it weighed the two approaches against each other. It seems like with Wolfram there is always a lot of people who presume the worst intentions.

Your sarcastic reply was unnecessary, if you read my post you’ll see I carved out the case you’re talking about. Time will tell. If you can’t see literally any axis along which Bitcoin and gold are comparable, then I can’t really help you.

by gfodor 4y ago
You can own both gold and Bitcoin. At a minimum unless you think those who think bitcoin is ultimately worthless are right, it’s a way to diversify a gold-like asset class along the axis they are similar.

Of course, the big question is if the web worked because it didn’t start out as a dynamic programmable media platform like HyperCard.

For years people with contrarian political views were rushing to mastodon after getting deplatformed from Twitter (sometimes, as we now know, via reports by the FBI for violating “disinformation” rules.) Mozilla was not promoting decentrali

Other repliers are disagreeing with you but I think you are absolutely correct. He was trying to pressure Twitter into changing their price to avoid being dragged through discovery. It looked to me like it almost worked, but my suspicion is

It doesn’t matter what I believe - but I do think SCOTUS will have something interesting to say here.

The government working with Twitter to create broad misinformation policies and then issuing requests for takedowns under those policies once adopted is a great way for the government to violate the first amendment with plausible deniabilit

Your analogy is reaching to the farthest edge case - one of complete non-understanding and complete mimicry. The problem is that language models do understand concepts for some reasonable definitions of understanding: they will use the co

I'm not part of any "guys", I'm not part of a tribe that you are imagining. I'm just someone who is vaccinated and thinks the mandates violate all traditional bioethical norms given what we have known for a while: t

You’re smuggling in the assumption that the vaccine induced myocarditis is the same underlying phenomenon, with the same risk profile, as the viral induced one. Let’s say, hypothetically, that what was going on here was some % of vaccines w

This feels like pure revisionism. The purpose of the vaccination programs for children is not to prevent severe disease or death, though that is a nice benefit. The purpose, and manifested effect, is to maintain population herd immunity due

So the argument is that if the vaccine causes this the same way COVID does, the risk of death would have been higher had they got COVID? You’ll have to excuse my skepticism, because setting things up so that we end up in a situation where i

You already implies you agree with my claim about it not being unreasonable when you said “as well.” I guess you retract that? And again: this study is just one of many studies that have lead to my prior. The rate of myocarditis is well est

The claim I am making is it appears likely to me that at least some of these cases are fatal, which would mean the underlying mechanism of action for this side effect of the drug can, in the worst case, cause death. This ought to influence

by gfodor 4y ago
Saying it’s not unreasonable means there is some significant probability that we may ultimately determine this to be the case. The conclusion is about the range of probabilities, not the actual state of reality. But probabilities matter whe

It seems obvious at this point that there is a mechanism of action of the drug in the vaccine that can harm the heart and it’s highly likely this can lead to death. It’s time to stop mandating it for kids.
