"In other words" why not address their actual words? Youtube is giving us something we value, but that does not justify any given demand Youtube comes up with. There's nothing noble about blindly accepting the terms of a mono

the closest alternative to Youtube I have seen is Odysee (formerly known as LBRY) https://odysee.com/ it reminds me of the old youtube experience. I like that their ads are images and banners rather than video interruptions

can you link a specific example? youtube's anti-piracy measures are quite strict in my experience.

>> I absolutely see humans as being more special than machine > Can you explain why exactly? Because humans designed and built machines before machines could design and build humans.

I recognize that you were not trying to allude to the countless times where the limitation of rights were used to cause harm. I also recognize that good and bad justifications are not the same thing. My thinking is simply that there are bet

What I've thrown into the mix is a suspension of human rights that was claimed to be for the purpose of protection but in reality caused harm. It wasn't simply "unethical research." If HIV and Syphilis are the best examp

Irrelevant to a response regarding both the importance of human rights and the spread of syphilis? I can't imagine an instance where it would be more relevant, I'd be interested to hear why it's not though.

by mike741 4y ago
Not the best example. We live in a society that intentionally infected 600 African American men with syphilis, without their consent, simply to see what happens despite knowing effective treatment already existed. Nice concept indeed.

You still have to not only synthesize the answers these models return, but now also first analyze the answers for the relevant parts, and then perform searches to validate them.

right, which is why humans do not claim to "grasp the significance" of their moves.

everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone makes the same mistakes. depending on their mistake, players very much can and do conclude a lack of relevant understanding. this conclusion is an integral part of the learning process.

it seems that way until the AI makes a mistake that even inexperienced players would be able to spot & avoid using traditional principles

If the first 19,000 updates weren't secure, I don't have much confidence the next one will be. Is Linux any different in this regard?

by mike741 4y ago
I've heard of Proton a few times but last time I checked only 600 out of Steam's 50,000+ games are compatible with it. Not bad by any means but using an older Windows version still seems to offer more at the moment.

There are also bash scripts to stop Windows from force-updating. Its a lot less work than switching to an entirely new OS and doesn't require giving up video games. But if someone can afford to learn Linux, or any OS that doesn't

What is the questioners line of reasoning if they haven't made any claims? If they have made a mixture of claims and questions then they can have flaws but its misleading to call them "questioners" at that point, since they&#

"a plus" depends on who you are. For someone who profits off of inflation, its certainly not a plus. I said it does a better job limiting supply and preventing inflation and that is a fact not an assumption. The supply has been

I agree with that definition of inflation, so how hasn't it prevented inflation? Has the supply of bitcoins ever deviated from the intended rate? If it hasn't deviated from that rate then the supply, and thus the involuntary compo

Computers as a whole burn the energy of many small industrialized nations. Is that to say computers shouldn't be used? Or is it simply a statement of how widely used computers are?

All of those problems existed before Bitcoin, so Bitcoin evidently did not "bring them to the table" And if Bitcoin is not a store of value, why are the Bitcoin I own seemingly maintaining (and increasing) their original value?

These criticisms are not limited to just online polls. One advantage that online polls have is a larger sample size. Gallop polls, for example, tend to have an extremely small sample size of less than 2,000 people while an online poll can r

That 2nd sentence is incorrect. The blockchain is already the 3rd party attesting to the NFT's legitimacy. The purpose of the decentralized blockchain is to remove the need for 3rd party validation. Yes the NFT can be copied, and yes t
