Regardless of who is ultimately at fault, this is about people not wanting to fly on these planes. They don't care if it was Boeing or if it was a subcontractor, they just want the information they need to cancel their flight or demand

>> journalists and leftist pundits > usually you can be one of these but rarely both at the same time. I didn't parse this as referring to only one person, so there's no "at the same time" here.

Also typical cat behavior. It's where they go after they're bored of simply knocking things off tables.

You can still say that the perimeter definitively got longer. Just add a parameter epsilon greater than zero for each possible way of measuring it, so that all of them are longer by some indefinite amount.

If you had a dining room, maybe you'd throw parties more often than every two years. We use ours every Thanksgiving and Christmas at a minimum. It's also a great place to simply eat dinner without retreating to one's bedroom.

But what do you do if the child needs to refer to the parent, or the parent needs to know its children. An illusion of a tree is only useful insofar as you don't really care about it being a tree. I structure things as trees because I

In the past, it used to be called Intuition, and was looked down on as feminine and unreliable. But intuition is quite similar to making use of a highly-trained neural network that's not amenable to introspection because it's an a

We only know that information can't escape a black hole by applying GR inside the boundary of the black hole, and by doing so, we find out there's a boundary. If you can't apply GR inside the boundary, you can't generate

> All true claims are unfalsifiable by definition. This is misunderstanding what falsifiability entails. A claim is falsifiable if one can, in principle , come up with experiments to disprove it. Just because a true claim will never be

by philipov 3y ago
Well, the thing I was originally suggesting was that people should not be so quick to call something unfalsifiable just because GR predicts we can't directly look inside black holes.

by philipov 3y ago
Yes, that's exactly what using one of the outputs of a theory to claim it is unfalsifiable is like.

by philipov 3y ago
The only reason we claim that no information can escape a black hole is because of a theory that makes assertions about what is beyond the event horizon. In other words, it's a claim that is only unfalsifiable... if it is true. If you

Is there anyone outside the US that isn't locked out, or was this a US-only release? Could this possibly have to do with the sanctions on China?

Which region is locked? That might give a clue.

I wonder if it's because long commutes are comorbid with not being able to afford living close to work and poverty, and poverty is well-known to be corrosive to mental health.

You are arguing against a strawman. No one ever said that corporations are moral actors. You said that companies are not allowed to have a mission other than chasing profits. As has already been pointed out, OpenAI is not a for-profit cor

It's just a matter of how you frame it. The view to take is that alienating customers and employees by violating e.g. morality, is not in the best interests of shareholders. Saying that the long term value of the company is best served

You don't have to take every profit opportunity if you believe it would jeopardize the long-term value of the company. If the shareholders don't agree and want you to maximize their short term interests instead, their recourse is

Why do you doubt that? China's population is so large, even their ample farming capacity isn't enough to support it on its own. To whom do you think they turn to fill the deficit if not South America?

No, the point of a business is to create good products. Making money is just the mechanism we've chosen to encourage people to do that, but the justification for capitalism has always been that it creates "the best products for th
