I feel like it being implicitly cancelled would be a bug, not a feature, but maybe that's because my scenario is, generally speaking, a positive thing that most people want to attend, and increasing friction is just not something anyon

I think a lot of people here are missing the point. Let me tell you a story. Wednesdays, my friends and I go to the bar to hang out. We grab some beers and some wings, and we have a bit of a chat about, y'know, whatever. Sometimes we&#

Along the same lines: Eat the frog. "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." - not Mark Twa

I cannot 'play music in my head'. I can recall vaguely what it felt like to have been listening to a specific piece of music, but not much further than that. Possibly related, I have a very poor ability to visualise anything inter

Because if you want a device for art on the go, you want ProCreate, which means not a Surface. (The fact that the iPad Pro has a better screen in every measurable way doesn’t hurt either.) If you want something with the grunt to handle a bi

Late to the party, but the answer is almost certainly just ProCreate. ProCreate (according to my girlfriend, who has a degree in illustration) is absolutely second to none with regards to completely eliminating the friction from digital pai

Thank you -- I genuinely appreciate the explanation. Even if it's not as thoroughly technical as it could have been, it's still enlightening. (and the fact that it's not dryly technical makes it more interesting in its own wa

That's a pretty good dictionary definition, I suppose, but I have no idea what that might actually look like in practice, which is a shame.

I'd love if you were able provide some reading on "superblack", or even just explain it yourself. I tried looking it up myself, because it sounds interesting, but of course search results are polluted with articles on vantabl

I run a discord which is just a collection of people from my local city, with no real fixed subject or agenda. I trained the 345M GPT-2 against the "general" channel, and then set up a discord bot such that every message has a 2%

Aggressive taxation is a prisoner's dilemma involving every government in the world. Good luck solving that problem. (Honestly, I wish good luck to anyone trying to solve it. Corporate tax is fucked .)

Reddit: Lots of users. Mostly pictures of cats. Any insightful comments is... well, in the comments. Any particularly controversial comment is inherently buried by downvotes. Useful if you're combing through communities for information

I agree with you, but I also think it's worth pointing out that I feel like the inverse is also true. 'Typing to people' is different to talking to them, but it has its own very real and rich reward, that I feel is different

This statement is weird , though. Like: I have a menu from the local pizza place stuck to my fridge with a magnet. The prices on the menu are cheaper than on Uber Eats, and so is cost of delivery . The only quote-unquote "problem&quo

If it appears that I ignored your comment, it's because I was assuming you weren't making the mistake you now appear to be. Your argument seems to be that the inclusion of the 2nd-party plural "you" somehow removes the g

To waste time on objecting to something that is trivial to do and then complaining about all the time that has been wasted by your own complaining is the height of cognitive dissonance.

It’s not neutral, it’s gendered and used as a neutral. You admitted, yourself, that the word itself it gendered. The fact that it is default-male and used as neutral is the entire argument.

I suspect the person writing out the bullet points of the requests themselves is just a university administrator, but that the origin of the request is someone else. Unfortunately, both your and my side of this specific point is unknowable:

You could just comply with the request in good faith, of course, which you still have yet to come up with any argument against.

While it's evident that some people are spiteful and ask for things they don't actually want just to be an inconvenience, I find it hard to believe that you actually think this is why every single indigenous person is asking for

In Australia, indigenous land acknowledgements are commonplace, and I cannot think of a single instance where they have caused any inconvenience. I see absolutely no reason why the addition of a sentence to the header of the syllabus would

You're right: They could implement some kind of autonomous general intelligence to assist in resolving issues. Probably take about 9 months to build an MVP, but about 16 years worth of training data until it's able to handle most
