   'OpenAI, of course, has the word “open” right in its name, ... don’t expect me to share any proprietary information' Yeah, Mr Aaronson just lost quite a bit of respect from my side. Going into AI is a great move, moving to the Clo

   I know this is a little bit banal, but I feel like: (1) the author is thinking about "origami" (2) the model is only able to create "pictures of origami" The model can only ever be trained on pictures of origami. Thus, t

   I am amazed at the disdain for leisure and "free" time and "slacking" in the comments here. If a person has enough to survive, why would they toil and labour? Just do whatever you like! I suspect a big problem is that m

   Two thoughts: (1) You write "effort spent was comparable to a mediocre sci-fi film script". I hink it might possible have been significantly less. Prometheus had a budget of $120M, so hiring a dozen writers to come up with ideas,

   I see what you are saying, but this doesn't negate the need (or perhaps better responsibility) to do something like this. Not exactly this, but something of the kind. Accordingly, I feel your "no evidence ever given beyond “expert

   I love the idea of the massive spikes and thorns. They seem to me a relatively naturalistic type of warning. To me it seems unlikely that very spiky spikes stop to mean "flesh-piercing" at some point and take on a homely "let

   I have to say, the way you phrase it, "making money trading something with no value", this sounds like mild fraud to me, in the sense that you expect the other party to believe there is value, while you are confident there isn&#x2

   The big point in what you quote is "and the attendant risks and opportunities for the corporation." I read this Harvard text to basically say: "Don't cheat if the cheating will be coming to bite you later. Be generous if

    I was involved in bitcoin in early 2010, so by the time MtGox got hacked, I had already well over a year experience with it, aka the 'honeymoon period' was over. So at that point (Summer 2011), I took a long hard look into the mir

    Even the great fanfare was completely overblown: This was old technology. The GDR "megachip" was ordered by the central committee in 1986 and VEB Carl Zeiss delivered the prototype in late summer 1988. They were planning to put it

    It's being poor, that scars you. As with everything, during childhood impressions are stronger and effect your life more, but being really poor in your 20s has quite a similar effect.

    Fully agree. Just one thing like that ruins the enjoyment of the whole project for me. It moves from "oh, cool, someone wants to freely share the stuff hey like" to a suspicious attitude of "what is their real goal here"

    Unfortunately I fail to see how buying broadcasting rights could be classed as "uniqueness and innovation"... would you care to elaborate?

    Very unlikely. After all, the new Clarus is high resolution, would be an ill fit for anything low resolution, don't you think? Unless you mean in a very abstract way, then, yes, both are related to nostalgia.

    The design is so abhorrent ugly, I stopped after three clicks, before I got anywhere fun. If you want others to enjoy your toy, perhaps style it in a somewhat more "popular" way?

    Super short summary: if you just look at addresses/wallets there is some decentralization, but once you apply some de-anonymization techniques and clustering, this idea begins to crumble. the big exchanges are obviously centralized ent

    I bought iA writer in 2012 or 2013, and in 2016 they renamed the app to "Writer Classic", and built a new "iA writer" app, which I then was supposed to buy again. At this point I decided that the company doesn't des
