This is based on present trend and the current historical circumstance, not an inevitability of our development.

Which is exactly my point in all of this: Are we there yet? not even close. Will people try to make living forever a reality regardless? i think so. Nothing says that we are unable to do these projects at the same time. The people who cou

Far from it. The media and culture rationalize death and death inducing behaviors including sleep deprivation, getting drunk, working and sacrificing one's health for the grind, and hedonistic behaviors that ultimately reduce one'

That is just people making meaning out of life experience. Fundamentally, there's nothing about death that make life precious.

This is a human centric approach, which i don't subscribe to. I am not of the opinion that every human life needs saving as it is the most valuable thing there is, as i don't think it is, my own life included. People die of canc

The outcome for taxpayer ROI should be about the benefit to the public at large regardless of who commercialized it. Commercialization should eventually lead to better and cheaper version of the technology, which increases benefit to the pu

Agreed. 50 bucks is not expensive for what could be a valuable investment. It's on my TODO list. If it works well to teaching me mathematics, then I'll keep using it. That said, I think it's also important to be able to learn

It's all memories to me whether that's concepts, models, tacit or otherwise. They are all just information stored within our brain. Otherwise we're arguing semantics.

Transfer learning. Transferring skills from one context to another is surprisingly hard to do, but not impossible. AFAIK, contexts must be similar to each other for transfer to take place.

Actually, my understanding is that contexts in general are hard to transfer.

Most of the basic electric circuit formulas comes trivially from that fact, so I never had to study for that in physics. And as we know memorizing that fact doesn't mean people know how to do the electric circuit formulas, so memoriza

Everything becomes easier when you don't require cars to do daily living. Ultimately this is a system level problem that requires multiple solutions and multiple approaches. Ultimately, jailing drunks after the fact is just too late. Y

A thousand dollars is enough to pay for theater class, three and a half semester worth. It is almost enough to pay for five months of personal coaching. It would definitely cover a voice acting workshop that I am going to attend. Granted, s

The problem isn't the convenience but that the value in my deck hasn't sufficiently manifested itself in real world applications. This is my own fault rather than the app's fault.

I wish I have the same dedication, but alas Anki hadn't sufficiently proven useful to me that I would use it on a day to day basis.

I really hope to see more research like this. I feel like LLMs have insanely high pedagogic value, and that's because I've been using them to teach myself difficult subjects and review my understanding. How do you know if the LL

That is caused by people making decisions decades in the past, and the inertia persists to the present day. In other words, it didn't start with social media. Rather, social media exacerbate what was already happening for decades at th

I do work journaling too, but they're simply part of my journaling routine which encompasses much more than just a work log. Primarily I use work log to document problems I am having, keeping track of contexts such as what page I last

The constitution is not readily amendable. So basically the only way of changing the constitution to fit present day need is to have judges do creative interpretation.

Teaching a skill directly is known to be more a more efficient way of learning rather than force students to try to discover it on their own.

It is hard, though not impossible to generalize expertise.

You already have programming knowledge that you can use to leverage toward that task. For a complete beginner, such a project might be a non-starter. Like, once you learn a programming language, you already know the syntax for 90% of all la

It's not about the value in remembering syntax. It's the value in being able to recall a concept from memory. Memory is a key part of learning. Understanding is great for learning new concepts, but you want to already know a conce

I think of kowloon as a preview to the hyperdense cities of the future in a way. Acrologies would be a more workable vision of hyperdense cities, as you also need green spaces rather than just a bigger version of dense concrete jungles tha

Fertility only happens if women can find a partner. They are not baby making machines. If you have a catastrophic loss of men, you can still experience a demographic disaster.

With the war in Ukraine, I have a newfound appreciation for defense spending and intelligence gathering(We know Russia was going to invade), while at the same time I am able to view Afghanistan and Iraq as disastrous and unnecessary as well

There's a concept in science fiction called a bioroid, in which android are made of completely or mostly biological components. Think of a human body but almost entirely artificially engineered with biological systems. I suspect in rea

I assume a lack of manpower and lack of concerted attention to specific scams. Another option is a Kafkaesque reporting mechanism in which a scammer took down their own videos before they could be reviewed by moderators. This is rarer but p
