Yeah, I got something similar from Gemini as the first sentence which could be taken out of the larger context easily. The overall answer is very balanced, I assume it was here too. As verbose as these models are, any single line should abs

A generation ship is probably doable with some level of conceivable technology. We just have to figure out how to be self sufficient out there then we have all the time in the world, or universe. That's a big "just", I know.

I had books that I scoured from the visiting nurses book sale every year and phrack. That's not much different than yt or ai. I guess there was less direct context with the books, but grasping the basics got you further. It's ok t

Nope, I never heard that. It doesn't surprise me one bit though. I found his talks sort of robotic, and having caught a handful, very rote. I always thought he didn't have the demeanor of the person he claimed to be.

You remember a way different 90's than I do. It was just simpler back then. There was no aslr, no hardware level protection from execution, traffic was all plaintext, switches didn't exist, or maybe they did but just nobody used t

10 years and they'll be mid way into their conference talk career. You know, that sweet spot where you can keep telling the same story over and over and still get attention for it. That makes me wonder what Frank Abagnale has been up

Heh, yeah. They have always been chasing quarterly numbers, they just stopped asking, "what do we have to do to sell the next version" and took their customer base for granted.

The middle east is a mess and I can't disagree. The warning signs were there, and they were ignored, mostly. You don't like my choice in appeal to authority, sure I get that. That doesn't preclude from there being authoritati

I agree that scale is often overlooked in these discussions. The real value of current legal definitions isn't just in identifying the industrialized murder of a population, but in recognizing the warning behaviors that precede it. It&

To be fair, Gregory Stanton has had the US listed as problematic for awhile now and he's considered a top authority on the topic. Of course his reports are based on the definition from the UN Genocide Convention which you don't se

Legal status of these chemicals is not going to prevent your neighbor from getting them and becoming addicted. Legal status (along with stigma associated with it) does prevent them from getting help before completely crashing out. It has th

It doesn't need to make clones into absolute copies of them to be problematic. It's just an obfuscation of a very old idea, the divine right of kings. It could be argued they would likely be worse than the original. They would be

Yeah, it all makes sense now.

We are bottlenecked at energy supply, not running hot via demand. Raising rates is likely to stifle already weak sections of the economy. Additionally, we are getting into territory where raising rates threatens our own ability to pay our d

Just from keeping up with the news over the last week, the general consensus seems to be "no". It’s certainly a no for me. A more interesting question is, "will you be divesting from funds that fast-track this stock?"

No worry, cool. Easy to do, sorry to press. It just seemed weirdly aggressive calling the other guy out after that and I felt the need to address it.

We don't know they were dried. We do know the strain is a particularly potent one that grows in a fashion that might not lend itself to normal water concentrations. Really though, weren't you the one conflating mushroom dosages wi

I knew a fellow with the same idea about government id of any form. No driver's license, no social security card, no state id. To say the least, he made some pretty serious compromises in life. He was a tattoo artist with no shop and e

It's older than that. Atoms have neither orbitals, nor shells. Neither describes a probability field at various energy levels surrounding the nucleus. Analogies aid understanding, even if on an abstract level.

I skimmed the video, but it's definitely the same example that finally made this make sense to me. I always hated the ball and sheet example simply because it was describing gravity with gravity. It felt fundamentally wrong.

I've never had this problem. The problem I have had is other developers expecting me to maintain documentation for their tools. To the point that they wage stupid inter office wars because they don't want to learn a command line u

I actually don't think you are commenting about the casualness, but the usage of the term "stole". Correct me if I'm wrong. I can say I view my own time in jail very transactionally and I have run into many people that d

I agree with your point, mostly. Until I remember seeing someone saying "MCP is dead, we just give agents command line access now". Then I start to think that looking at this in the context of ai is helpful.

I think that I just take issue with the term "hand-waving" as equated to intuition. Yeah it lacked formal rigor, but they had a solid model that applied in detail to the real world. That doesn't come from just saying, "o

Newton and Leibniz were "hand-waving"? If anything, they were fighting an uphill battle against the perception of hand-waving by their contemporaries.
