I think ML, at least when I was involved in it, had a much more sane way of approaching publication than other fields (I came from a biology background). Open science addresses a lot of the pain points that are mentioned in the article. I t

You're wrong in looking at orcas and oaks. They are too far apart the evolutionary path so that it is meaningless to think of them as competitors. Darwinian selection is the species versus the environment and this environment can inc

I'm not sure why you'd think things you do have such little impact on the world? In reality, it doesn't matter what you are doing if it can survive for a long time then it will eventually have a relatively high impact on hu

Steam deck also supports FSR2 just not globally like it does FSR1. For FSR2 you need game-specific data so it's dependent on the game developers to adopt it.

What's the ultimate goal of these companies? Of any company? I find that it's very difficult to know, truly, what these mega corporations want. What does apple want? For everyone to use apple? Probably not, if this was the case th

But don't you think people in Germany are more aware of the issue and more willing to find ways to actually solve this problem? At least in Berlin there's been big movements towards controlling rent prices, building social housing

People need food, housing, education and health more than they need iPhones. Everyone needs these, not everyone needs an iPhone. Which means a country where everyone has their basic needs covered but no one has an iPhone, I would say, is a

If you use the inequality adjusted HDI then the USA falls below France. It's up to you to decide if that's a more fair comparison or not, but we are not most people so I find inequality an extremely important measure to adjust for

It's difficult but there are many techniques that can help in aiding discourse. For example if you have a group of 20 or so people discussing an issue the best thing you can do is establish rotating, randomly selected groups of 4 or so

People can already use websites to create simple websites but that hasn't really displaced web developers because our needs keep changing. But it has definitely help people bring their businesses to market much easier. You don't n

Wait. When you say well being you're aware that killing them is close to the ultimate harm we can inflict on them. What you're saying is that you think intellectual property is more valuable, to you, than the life of other conscio

Bypass paywalls clean is a very good extension to get rid of these subscription annoyances, although, i guess it is a form of piracy.

I wouldn't be so hasty. How the world is today doesn't mean it is the way the world will look like in 100 or 200 years. The person that got the best grades in my bachelor's, she studied so hard to achieve this, but this only

What do you mean I don't get to play gatekeeper. What do you think democracy and the state is for? Of course society should decide collectively where the lines are drawn. That's what we have done and will continue to do because

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical. I think this is more of an ethical issue than a legal one, slowly our laws tend to move towards ethical boundries we consider acceptable. What you describe as physical dep

Yes, you're absolutely right. There's definitely a cost associated to part time workers. But that doesn't mean the current 40 or so hours a week (in Australia it's 37.5) is the optimal amount of hours that a worker is pr

What need does the tobacco industry serve that was not created through addiction and marketing? The oil industry knows about the damage they've been doing to the planet for decades. But not only they ramped up production but also lobbi

Very good article. I think a lot of the fear around these things is not really conducent to a proper solution. Some technology is so dangerous that it is banned, for example, nuclear weapons. But some countries still have nuclear weapons an

As far as I know experiments of CBT + psychedelics have shown very promising results for treating PTSD and certain kinds of depression, specially in people that are about to die and need to come to terms with that. These are not microdosing

Okay but you're can surely realise that someone in possession of child pornography images that were taken, say, 20 years ago is no longer accessory to the original crime in any way. In fact, it might very well be possible for that pers

It's really not. Some groups due to historical or biological reasons require special protection. It is why we protect kids, it is why we protect people with disabilities. But if you take negative liberty to its extreme this special tre

Is posting an image part of your free speech? Absolutely yes. Then let's see, when was the last time you were exposed to a child pornography image? Hopefully never (though we do have this whole pornhub drama going on). It is obvious th

I don't know anything about finance, but how credible is Elon Musk in this regard? I mean to be fair he does say that this is "total speculation" and a "guess" (which it is). So why is it news worthy? I think if you

I would say that requires quite a bit of technical knowledge. More than what the average person would do anyway.

There was an experiment done on training for basketball players where a group was told to train for a couple of weeks 3 point shoots. One group trained normally, as in, they would position themselves and throw the ball. Another group traine

You know, I have thought similarly of my dogs... I don't really require anything of them other than their love which they are more than willing to give. But we are not dogs (or chinchillas), we are much more greedy and we have very com

If I could pirate a car I would do it so fast, in fact, that's sort of the future people envision with 3D printing. The whole anti-piracy message is really difficult for people to take in because they simply cannot perceive the losses.

As far as I know you can't really ride your bike on the sidewalk. Either the street or specialised bike lanes. So you will never really see someone driving a bike at 25 km/h (the legal limit in many European countries) on the side

Not sure but GDP really is not an end-all be-all indicator that we should be using. I think Piketty makes a good argument against GDP if you're keen on learning more about the topic.
