Reddit is awful. I used to absolutely love reddit in 2010, 2011. Back then, reddit was at a stage where it was just starting to be mainstream. Most of the people who had found reddit on their own or by word of mouth, and who had liked it, w

So we are supposed to dismiss dysons conclusions because he’s a genius? That is the most astounding contortion of logic I have ever seen. If you disagree with him, then go find out the logic he uses to justify his conclusions and discuss t

So according to your logic, AI should be heavily controlled and regulated, and possibly banned? The effect of AI on society is much less predictable than GW and has much higher ceiling for how bad the outcome may be. Edit: my mistake. Human

Freeman dyson, who is one of the smartest human beings ever to live, questions evolution and climate change. On climate change, I don’t think he opposes being proactive — he just disagrees about the completeness of the evidence. He also has

Why not? First of all, you are kind of forcing people to do one kind of thing in order to survive. Yes, it’s true that lots of people are not capable of advancing art or physics. But what is also true, and more important, is that most peopl

Reading too much into it: public figures have rationalization for what they wear, and a lot more insignificant things. But yes, I’m not saying this guy in particular. I’m not reading into him. It’s about the wide-spread trend. He’s just fol

Files in the Linux ecosystem are a mess. Files scattered everywhere and each instance of Linux uses some different arbitrary directory scheme. We really need a reboot. New micro kernel based OS with clear directory logic and dedicated direc

Vice is completely biased and it makes me happy to imagine snarky vice people being laid off. I hope that these layoffs are a sign that the clickbait model of journalism is failing. I would gladly pay for my news if it werent biased . But

What is the correct terminology for the binary blob that is a result of training? Is that resultant blob called “the algorithm?” I see people use the word algorithm to describe the training and the actual result of the training. I think the

this website is supposed to benefit American military academics and by extension the interests of the United States. But posting these lessons and insights publicly advances all nations equally, including our enemies. Wouldn’t it make more

The answer is really simple. It’s because most people who use the internet are not fun and weird. Trying to blame it on anything else is wrong.

Wow, you’ve totally changed my mind. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. Someone really should make a new mailing list community.

I don’t understand your point. Your account is less than a year old. But anyway I jump from account to account mainly because of the abuse of flagging by politically oriented users. If you must know, I first got here in 2012.

I would rather be able to visit some central resource rather than mix email and discussion forums. Mixing those things together just feels wrong. Mailing lists tend to be extremely visually jarring. But there’s no difference between a maili

I so rarely come across a commenter who shares this opinion that I feel like I want to hug you. Hacker news has declined in quality. The most precipitous drop in my opinion was right after all the buzz about Facebook becoming less popular

My comment is about ai. It is about how people perceive ai, and sci-fi is a very good demonstration of how incorrect human intuition can be when it comes to ai. This incorrectness is present not only in stories about ai, but policy and opin

Everyone likes sci-fi. Star Wars, halo, Star Trek, etc. all these franchises have something in common: they depict AIs working alongside humans. I think that it’s an important demonstration of cognitive dissonance about AI. Fans of these fr

People seem to assume that once they get a computer science degree, and when they become good programmers, they will automatically be wise in all domains of life. The cockiness and gigantic egos of programmers is very clear evidence of this

Go to the library and read their math books. I don’t know why the internet is filled with these questions that are always “how do I start doing x?” Just f* do it dude. Nobody is going to be able to or bother to answer anyway. The answers wo

The fact that people actually went back is amazing to me. To make that journey you stood a very good chance of dying if I’m not mistaken. Plus it must have been super unpleasant even if you survived.

I thought this would be about the psychology of “getting inside” someone’s head. I think it’s a very interesting phenomenon when someone says something to you and you can’t seem to shake it, and it bothers you for days or weeks. I’m very se

Yeah. I still massively prefer carrying my own space with me if possible. But actually I think hotels could be an option even for people like me. If rooms were properly constructed then they wouldn’t be able to harbor any parasites at all a

There was a video I watched years ago about a specialist who studies the flow of pedestrians and redesigns walkways to improve flow of pedestrians. I remember she was working on an airport and there were two hallways joined at a 45 degree a
