A professor once told me that if someone asks when a concept was first discussed in philosophy, it's always best to reply "Isn't it in Plato?" https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/innateness-history&#x

I agree with the ethos but "banning installing" wouldn't have been correct here. There should be terminology for installing from the source of your choice which doesn't carry the marginal or sinister connotations of &quo

> the energy flow across the crust is ~0.1W/m^2 It's a misleading comparison. This is only the average amount of heat that diffuses through an ordinary patch of surface, and has more or less nothing to do with how a geothermal

It does seem an unlikely place for a market: 13°42′59.9″S 75°52′28.46″W If there really were baskets of corn there, it seems more likely it was used for storage, and situated along the ridge not too far from the valley floor to protect the

That part of the sea as well as Doggerland itself are named afer Dogger Bank, a large sandbank that must have been some promontory on Doggerland. Dogger Bank in turn seems to be named after a kind of Dutch fishing boat called a dogger http

I don't think it's a chicken or egg problem. We still have the non-functional form of the gene for synthesizing vitamin C in our genomes. It's been identified, and the mutation which knocked out it's functionality is kno

Maybe, but it's also possible to get an AI to produce a song with the exact same lyrics. And a human copying lyrics would also be a copyright issue in any case. But anyway it seems I misinterpreted the issue and record companies have a

Hmm, alright. I actually do play guitar and used to find chords/tabs with lyrics easily. I haven't been doing that for maybe 10-15 years. Anyway, maybe those sites were paying for a license and I just never considered it

Thanks. Maybe that misconception was the problem. Taking a hammering in downvotes, lol

I think having the lyrics reproducible in text form isn't the problem. Many sites have been doing that for decades and as far as I know record companies haven't gone after them. But these days with generative AI, they can take lyr

Usually the chapter 0 is preliminary or prerequisite material. It makes sense in an obvious and intuitive way if you want an ordinal "before the first", even if that sense isn't a rigorous mathematical one (although I think t

You're probably thinking of the DESI BAO results from March, which also cast doubt on the standard cosmological model. These new results point further in the same direction as the DESI ones https://newscenter.lbl.gov/20

It's not just a question of instrumental error though. There are also assumptions being used in interpreting the data from the instruments, and it's not generally possible to assign them reliable probabilities. e.g. the first line

Yes, some good ones and some garbage, and the LLMs had no idea which was which. The good solutions were arrived at by an iterative procedure which depended on the scoring function written by the mathematicians, and it seems plenty of other
