I put bad in quotes because you're claiming something is absolutely bad, but all your points are about how it is relatively worse than breast milk (which is a pretty high bar). Studies on the long-term health impacts of breast vs f

Mathematics also strives for correctness before aesthetics, but is often considered an art. Programming is little different imo. When you have scoured your deepest understanding for hours - or days - in order to rewrite a function so that i

No, you're still missing the point. "Remarkable" and "incredible" are not objective ways to describe something.

Is it really free, open and uncensored if it suspends journalists for covering the ElonJet story, and artificially bumps Elon's own tweets?

It sounds like Asahi are holding themselves to a higher standard;hey won't violate copyright even if no one can prove it.

Remarkable, perhaps? I'd hesitate to use "incredible" because his background privilege and wealth makes it all... well, more credible; and using such an unalloyed, positive word feels wrong given the costs to his relationship

I suspect the US allows/ignores some nuclear programs if they think it's in their geopolitical interest. India is a counter-balance to China and Russia. Pakistan is a counter-balance to India. Keeping everyone armed to the teeth a

I'm not sure what you're saying here. That he's launched so many rockets to orbit is a fact. That this is an "incredible achievement" is a subjective interpretation.

The 1yo stage is surprisingly convenient for that sort of stuff. At ages 2-4 they're much more mobile and experimental and harder to watch. Then from 4 or 5 upwards they're at school a lot and starting to lose interest in what the

You both have valid points. One one hand, "implicit memory" [0] begins at birth and being around one's father building impressive things is a huge bonding experience. Research seems to say that even at 1yo these things imprin

"Incredible" is a subjective word. It describes how one feels about his achievements. It also has a strong connotation of positivity (you don't usually hear people say that the Holocaust was an incredible achievement despit

What does "amenable to computerisation" even mean? Typist used to be a job, but it's become computerised. Stuff like data entry is surely not for away.

Hilariously, the wikipedia page suggests that the research looks less like it's "emerging" and more like it's "submerging".

True, but software is very different to general knowledge. For example, it's easier to obtain reference documentation from the person who wrote the language. It's much easier to run tests to validate a given attempt. And the gener
