I find this comment somewhat humorous because it pretty well sums up the frustration with "politically correct" movies to begin with; that the writer/director has an axe to grind and can’t stop themselves from souring their m

> Mentioned in the article was one person who tried to address this by banning discrimination "on the basis of ancestry, including caste" which seems to me to be a completely reasonable adjustment. The bill has already been mod

Well now ASIC design is an even more niche EE application. How does someone in neuroscience end up needing those skills? Did you Major in EE in undergrad?

It's obvious to you that graduate student positions should pay enough to support a sole income provider for a family of three? Because according to the parent, that's what we're discussing here.

This is just smart TV's in general. I have "The Frame" TV from Samsung and was super disappointed when I realized they put non-removable ads on the home page. Mostly from Disney+ which I don't even subscribe to. This is

The face thing is more about safety rather than some of those other parts. Closest similarity would be wanting hands visible.

Funny, this is the exact workflow I settled on. During pomodoro cycles I brain dump all unrelated things I want to think about into a scratchpad, and then afterwards transfer the ones I'm still interested in into my Zettelkasten. It&#x

Responding "just program it not to do that" to alignment problems is akin to responding "just add more transistors" to computing problems. We wouldn't be discussing it if we thought it were so simple.

It's not necessarily getting worse everywhere, which I would guess is the point.

Or some of them would would have moved, or not moved there in the first place, or increased the prices of their goods. Something so cynical about such low expectations. "If we weren't in charge, they would all devolve into savager

Interest, in contrast I have the bad habit of never using right shift, which is definitely inefficient when typing capital A for example. I've not been very successful changing this habit.

It's not speaking to the entire world, it's speaking to the person who prompted it, by reading the prompt the person gave it. I would say asking for certain content is consent enough to receive it.

It's no coincidence that preventing a nationwide bank run is of higher priority than other, lower priority things.

I suppose it would be more similar if it went from "Queer" to "LGPWAQ", as in "Lesbians, gays, and people who are queer". BIPOC definitely reads like "Black and Indigenous people, and the rest." Which

You've misunderstood the point. It's not that people use it like a PC that matters, it's that it's compatible with PC games.

It's also the experience and ritual of drinking alcohol. It's something you do slowly and consistently over the course of a night which is practically an activity in of itself, similar to smoking tobacco. Taking a pill loses all o

I mean, that's true if you think of a space as exclusively a character. In the physical meaning of the word, what exists in place of the original character is now an empty 'space'. In some pedantic sense you have truly added

Now imagine if machines got clogged 1% of the time and you had to fix them, or if items occasionally fell off conveyer belts onto other conveyor belts. The amount of redundancy and work that would create would be paralyzing, but that’s the

The point wasn’t FMRI per say, just that it would limit the science to observational studies like FMRI, which cannot reproduce the results of things like ICSS. Also such research may have large implications for understanding and treating

by ghodith 5y ago
That seems unlikely. Look into techniques like ICSS which have no non-invasive substitutions. Banning animal experiments in neuroscience would just eliminate large swaths of research pursuits, leaving only observational techniques like FMRI

That actually explains a lot! Thank you, that's a great anecdote

“This has been experimentally proven in rodents” If you are talking about the rat park[0] series of experiments, that conclusion has hardly been “experimentally proven.” There are many replication issues and the authors themselves don’t sup

Seems to me that some people use dystopian to mean “bad and like something you would see in a dystopian novel/movie.” Which in most cases cashes out to ‘bad and high-tech’

Also in a lot of cases it’s the best we’ve got. You might be able to use monkeys but even that doesn’t change a lot of the problems. If you move from animal models you aren’t going to suddenly be able to start experimenting on humans.
