The right in America does not believe in a federal government. Anything that helps a federal government exist is to be destroyed.

It does not seem like Trump actually wants a deal. They are not offering anything. It appears to be simply a pretext to have some reason to berate Ukraine and Zelenskyy. "Oh you won't take our [completely ridiculous] deal? I guess

If it comes to that, the current global society is done and gone, and quite possibly humanity with it. No way the UK doesn't have control over their own devices though.

That's not what strength looks like, but the American right-wing probably will think it is.

It depends how well European countries are able to defend themselves (and their political systems) from attack and corruption by Russia. So far, IMO, results have been mixed. I am hopeful for Europe though.

Yeah, it does work as something you learn with/right-before/right-after a sorting algorithm, depending on the teaching style.

The entire point of the thing is that it takes an input and produces an output. The output is the designed chip.

Maybe? I don't know, ~any of the women I know don't seem shy about their preferences, but I'm sure women I know isn't a particularly representative sample. I just don't terribly think that masculine or not, neither

It's not "an AI", it's AI as in artificial intelligence, the study of making machines do things that humans do. A fairly simple set of if statements is AI (an "expert system" specifically). AI is _not_ just tal

There doesn't seem to be any obvious reason people would not admit their actual preferences in the study as presented. What bias would you expect, and why?

You're taking the word of a liar as gospel truth, and you're attributing responses to "liberals" from nowhere. Which "liberals"?

That's partly because they like Hitler quite a lot though.

You can extract heat, in fact you'd have to extract it or let it leak out somewhere. The whole point of it is that it generates more energy than you put in, so energy has to come out somewhere for it to maintain stability. Gp is just s

Yes. Why would they not be?

"Lead to" physically, in terms of locations, means that, but I have never heard it mean "preceeds" and not "causes" in terms of events. Yeah, I think they worded it incorrectly.

by kadoban 2y ago
"Lead to" is a synonym for "causes".

Not really. It's a dome/hill shape, not a saddle, and nothing in particular goes to infinity. The only thing special about the shape is that it's constructed such that there exists a way to kick a ball straight up the slope a

Rocm is kind of injury in general. Many people in the past have gotten burned by assuming that AMD would support some of their most popular and powerful new hardware, and then they just don't. It seems like they're getting better

Your contention is that Asimov considered the 3 laws as good and effective ways to protect humanity?

by kadoban 2y ago
Pretty much all of the stories on the laws of robotics were about why the laws suck and don't work.

It is kind of gross, but so are many things in many books, including in that one (eg all of the disembowelings) For me it is less problematic than it could have been, because: YT is shown to be naive, reckless and impulsive, and Raven (is t

Godel and Turing just proved that there are some true things that can't be proved, and things that cannot be computed. They didn't show where those boundaries are. They certainly didn't show those boundaries to be below human

As a big proponent of the metric system, acre feet are pretty reasonable. An acre is a decent sized plot of land for a house in the ~dense country, you can easily picture it. Flood that to a foot and you have an acre foot. A single m^3 is f

The discussion above is nuanced, but in short: the concept doesn't work for B-Trees or as a replacement for B-Trees at all. It's for a different thing where you have a fixed set of keys (especially 1 to n or something of that form
