Oh no not the slippery slope! I think 16 sounds good. I would not let anyone younger than 16 vote, because it's against the law.

I highly recommend Caves of Qud. It's great for keyboard-only. I think it's got controller support too. The game is very confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it you can really get sucked in. Runs great on ubuntu.

The short answer is, they would die. The trees are the way they are because they've adapted to their environment. At a high level, trees in hot sunny areas will have smaller leaves because they can get enough sunlight from a smaller su

I have seen the term "ICE barbie" on social media, but I don't consider that a credible source. Obviously everything you hear from someone else, whether it's published in the newspaper or a passing comment from your neig

The media is reporting the world as it is, not the world as it should be. It's not their job to de-escalate. Kinda silly IMO to blame the people writing articles instead of blaming the people dropping bombs and launching missiles.

These "enhanced" vetting measures don't actually provide any protection against these kinds of attacks. All they do is increase the anti-US sentiment, which increases the number of people interested in attacking us.

There are lots of things AI could do. But the things AI will do are governed by the incentives of the underlying system (i.e. society).

exactly. AI won't change the underlying incentives. We can't solve the problem of "alignment" between humans, so how can we ever solve it for AI? > Scientific progress is the biggest driver of overall progress; it’s h

This is hilarious. You don't trust your local government, which is accountable to you and is made up of people living right next to you (drinking the same water); but you DO trust a faceless, unaccountable corporation. I guess the corp

nest thermostats (and probably many others) can do this. You set an acceptable temperature range; the heat will activate if it falls below that range, and the cooling will activate if it rises above that range.

Mike waltz adds Jeff Goldberg without verifying anything, then sends a message explaining the purpose of the group and asking for everyone to provide a point of contact from their staff. Everyone then shares the name of their staff member.

1) all abstractions leak. We use them anyway because they are helpful, but you have to be expert enough to know when they're leaking, and know what to do about it. This invariably requires understanding the system underneath the abstra
