I feel like Reddit is a bad example for an argument against search, because it still relies heavily on search. People aren't finding a specific subreddit for their query and then browsing it until they find what they're looking fo

I'd rather have a billion dollars of art installments than another giant telescope. Or a billion dollars of art installments and a billion dollars of welfare, that'd still be much cheaper than the JWST alone. Are there any relativ

They're good counterexamples in they show solutions of the form "use technology" can work instead of "change the root behavior".

How could less regulation possibly help? Negative externalities need to be captured, how else can that be done but with more regulation?

There's also the value of whatever labor they do! But that labor probably isn't worth 100x someone else's work.

I could maybe see saying the weight of some celebrity or other mutually-known person could actually cause anchoring, but yeah, that was a joke.

IMO that points to the problem being incorrect regulation, not too much or too little.

There's Smashwords. I wish more authors used it, I don't know why they don't.

There's also Storygraph. Looks like both sites support exporting data from Goodreads, and Literal.club supports export from Storygraph. Storygraph is pretty good, the UI is a little wonky but I prefer it to Goodreads largely because it

Governments and institutions mostly don't like it, that's a pretty big reason.

#60 has a picture of a map, so I don't think it's being filtered.

by jamilton 3y ago
Same. The image helps with a first and maybe last guess, and sometimes there's something highly identifying in the image, but triangulation would be enough if I could only accurately estimate distances. The scale on the map helps. It w

"It" is the transfer.

I'm not sure. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem that different from including public domain text and art in your game. I assume that, if it is true that Valve isn't allowing games with generated images, it's be

That's meaningfully different. "Can't be copyrighted" doesn't mean "can't be sold", or "someone else owns the copyright". It just means someone can copy and resell the generated portions wit

It might be the case that most small businesses lose money on ads because most small businesses fail in general.

This might be saying more about small businesses than Google Ads.

Yeah, I'm stuck on the chess part too. Figured out how to put black in check, figured out the notation, including the +, but it doesn't agree that's the best move. Put the positions into a chess engine... it agrees with me wi

What do you mean?

None of these can do text well. There's a model that does do text and composition well, but the name escapes me. And the general quality is much lower overall, so it's a pretty heavy tradeoff.

What's your thought process on malaria nets being vapid? It's not structural change, but (statistically) saving a life for ~$6k (I think that's their estimate? Or was at some point) is amazing, and very "real". I do

I recall the number of deaths from Tesla self-driving being reported as being 10x per mile as regular highway driving. I think it was this article, but it's paywalled. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/08/t

I disagree, people care less about vulgar words than they used to.

This seems exceedingly generous to 4chan. Where else is this standard applied?

This video has pretty good environmental examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUb9kIwHfoE This one has a good example of bad vocal audio (at 1:00): https://youtu.be/-PLMiA18tBc?t=60

I don't think it's as simple as "cognitive capacity". I think the author's angle of communication being the critical issue is more accurate. It could be the case that we won't be able to communicate with AGI, b

Some science fiction posits a level of genetic engineering that is so advanced it's more like regular engineering. I assume they mean something like that; AI using biology in general as a tool.

My expectations are low too. I haven't had any major negative experiences with iOS autocorrect in years, so it's seems likely that that'll be a downgrade for me.
