I like this idea, but I think it would be even better if under every paper title there was a 100-word AI-generated abstract that states the bottom line.

Why does the UI make it difficult to read the text?

What if China actually started trying? They have 3x the population that the US has.

It wasn't a mistake. It was a pretend mistake.

I watched the demo video, and, IMHO, even the muffled version of the leaf blower is way too loud.

I have to sign in with Google just to get a mere 3-day free trial without any idea what it is?

I wonder if GPT-4o is a Christian?

I am a white guy who was outside for 4-5 hours per day for my entire childhood in India, and I think I only got a sunburn once when I fell asleep on the beach in Goa without my shirt on when I was about 8.

There are 171 million acres in Texas. There are 8 billion people on Earth. So if you gave each family of four a 50x100 foot plot of land (i.e., 5,000 square feet of space), then you could fit eight such plots per acre (with 3,500 square fee

In the future, we will live in a garden city and commune with nature and look back on this error of fat people living in skyscrapers as a dark age.

His point is that when it's only halfway working you're not sure how much more effort to put in because you're not sure how it's going to pay off.

I think you're confusing the dot com boom with Java.

So what? If we want to make it illegal to render our population infertile through microplastics, then the argument that allowing microplastics is less expensive doesn't seem like it should win the day.

As far as I am aware, Java is the only major programming language (other than JavaScript, which is also the only worse major language) that was not organically adopted by programmers. JavaScript was forced on the world by being the language

My problem with Java is that it is excessively object-oriented. I understand they've toned that aspect of it way down, but when I worked in Java between 2003-2009 it was gospel and it was preachy. But wow did I grow to hate it over t

It has to be grounded in statistical reality. What do you think the sum total is of all the organisms that have ever lived on Earth?

by jononomo 2y ago
Science also requires a plausible mechanism and an understanding of statistics. "It must have randomly happened even though the chance was less than 1 in ten to the five hundred and twelfth" is about as far as these speculative th

I'm sure that if we put the word out we could get another two dozen theories. But "science" needs to mean more than "speculative theories that adhere to my philosophical presuppositions".

I'm sorry but "life spontaneously formed" is just a mystical philosophy that you hold without any basis in reason or evidence.

Just so we're all clear, no one has any idea how life could have emerged on Earth without external help. It's a long way from amino acids to life -- like the distance between the squiggles that make up the letters of the alphabet

From my understanding, no one has any idea how life could possibly have emerged on Earth without external help. The only evidence they have that it did is that all other alternatives seem even less plausible to them. The corrective to this

I want the US government to pass a law requiring all taxes to be included in the listed price at any retail outlet in the United States. It is ridiculous to see an item you're interested in buying, check the price tag, and get only an

Why wasn't this device invented 100 years ago? It's like a bicycle for people who need to swim to get around.

yeah, I just have no idea what shadcn is, so I figured I'd ask for the sake of others who also have no idea.

I'm also curious to know what the tragedy is.

I was just using ChatGPT 4 to write a bash script for me, and it was taking so long that I began to think "I could type this out faster myself".
