Why? One of the first uses for wood was burning it for heat, creating toxic poisonous fumes. I don’t have any problem using it as a material for my utensils, though.

Oh come on. The tool is supposedly designed to test “free will.” Your presupposition seems to be that randomness = free will. I propose that being forced to choose a random letter is the opposite of free will.

If we forget free will, then I will grant your position regarding statistics. But suppose you could collect every bit of evidence in the universe and use it in a massive calculation to guess what my next decision would be. This would be a t

Free will is not a topic for stats, but rather philosophy.

by jtbayly 3y ago
Yes, but... 50% prediction rate would indicate that half of the time you are predictable, meaning you don't have much free will. 0% prediction rate would indicate that you have 100% free will. Randomness is not a good measure of free w

Agreed. I have one I use on my iPhone that shows page source. Comes in handy sometimes. javascript:(function()%7Bvar%20a=window.open('about:blank').document;a.write('%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%3Chtml%3E%3Chead%3E%3Ctitle%3ESource%

This looks very useful, but what do I do with the discovered data? Suppose I have a site that runs a search that I want to be able to automate. However, instead of sending the search term in the URL, it updates live (presumably via some API

Yes. It can fairly quickly feel like you can’t breathe without it.

Why not just use the steroid spray, then? Cool hack to get off it, but I would still be wary of being on it too long.

Imagine your hand was in a cast and then you were cryogenically frozen. While frozen your cast was removed. Then you were unfrozen and asked if you could move your hand. I think you’d be able to answer the question, don’t you?

Works great, BUT easily habit forming. Beware.

If you’re right, then this is probably the best proof that I’ve seen that ChatGPT isn’t even remotely conscious.

So because something is automated somewhere, nobody has to follow robots.TXT anymore?

Sure, but only (at best) up to the previous stuck pig, assuming the stuck pig is blocking flow.

by jtbayly 3y ago
More to the point, I imagine a stuck pig blocks the flow, meaning you couldn’t get the second pig to go anywhere, because there wouldn’t be any flow.

Which, if they didn’t travel outside of the country, would still be “locally.” ;-) But thanks, that does actually answer my question!

Thanks! That's crazy. However, I'm still left wondering how Roundup-resistant crops work. It's not the effects of Glyphosate they are resistant to, but rather the effects of the "inert" ingredients? Edit: Also... it

Not quite as bad as the Red Cross? I’d take that as a commendation any day of the week.

No way. Show me the proof. If it’s the inert ingredients, why don’t they kill the GMO corn and beans, too?

It's included in CPI, though, right? If so, doesn't that mean this "artifact" has improperly affected the CPI making it look like inflation hasn't been as bad this year as it actually was?

Good news! Health insurance has dropped by 37% in the last year, according to the CPI. I tried to ask HN about this a day or so ago… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37880185

I wonder if we could convince companies to put software on some sort of portable physical medium that could be sold in brick and mortar stores?

Umm... that was the point of the article. There's only gurus and biased folks and no evidence or support for the claim that seed oils are bad for you. They also linked to their main article on the broader topic of diet fads, which li

by jtbayly 3y ago
But people totally change their lifestyle on the basis of not eating seed oil. That's not buying the latest trendy food. That's avoiding a common food, making life hard.

It’s always amazing to me how completely (religiously?) committed people are to brand new dietary theories that are always unproven.
