Sure, if you want to live on $1,000/month, go for it. I’ll be earning more than that though so I can travel more and do other stuff. Maybe you’ll get bored and spend some of your time doing something productive, or maybe not, and that’

And often they’re there so no one can plausibly say they didn’t know what they were doing or stumbled into it accidentally. You can’t “accidentally” go through a door with a padlock on it. I’d guess it’s something similar with this dongle.

I didn’t even mention tobacco specifically because it’s the same either way.

No, because the noise of people just living life is not comparable to cigarette smoke. You can also use earplugs if you’re that sensitive to regular noises of people living around you. That kind of sensitivity is not normal though. I can’t

I agree, further study is warranted. They should do it again with a larger cohort for longer and with more objective measures.

People who smoke on the balconies of multi-unit buildings are awful people. It’d be a beautiful day but I can’t keep my windows open because there’s always somebody smoking to make my unit smell disgusting if I just want to enjoy a cool bre

Reading low quality romance novels likely still puts you at reading somewhere around a 6th grade level.

Four way stops are good, in my experience, at intersections with roughly equal (low) traffic load on both (two-lane) roads and relatively high pedestrian traffic. Like in a dense residential urban neighborhood between major commercial tho

I’m going to hate myself for saying this and sounding like such a coffee snob, but: if coffee tastes bad to you, there’s a decent chance you just haven’t had a good cup of coffee. I only say this because I used to hate coffee too, only havi

These models are all trained on human output. The bot output resembling human output is not surprising. This is how people write and is the kind of stuff they write about online. It’s all just remixed.

If all they know is AI, and they supplanted all their learning with AI, why even hire them? Just use the AI.

There must be some physical limit to our cognitive capacity. We can “store” infinite numbers by using our numeral system as a generator of sorts for whatever the next number must be without actually having to remember infinite numbers, bu

> It’s just that most of us… don’t. Ok, so my statement is essentially correct. Most of us can not keep infinite information in our brain.

by nkrisc 9mo ago
You can’t keep infinite knowledge in your brain. You forget skills you don’t use. Barring some pathology, if you’re doing something every day you won’t forget it. If you’ve forgotten your Win32 reverse engineering skills I’m guessing you ha

That looks really cool, though confusing even though I do understand Hilbert curves. I’m having a very difficult time intuiting the strategy for a game like this. I think the core concept is very interesting though.

So I guess it’s just FOMO, because I still can’t really relate to why anyone would actually buy any of those coins.

I really don’t get the strategy here. What do the coins have to do with the project? Why would someone who was “lured” into using the project buy the coins? Why would someone speculating on the coins use the project? What’s the connection?
