>which is not in any academic journal, or has no peer reviews? As a philosopher who is into epistemology and ontology, I find this to be as abhorrent as religion. 'Science' doesn't matter who publishes it. Science needs to

Yeah whenever I see people complain about some engineering thing, from catastrophic failure to difficulty to fix, I generally can assume it was constraint based rather than malicious intent. Some hotel collapses? Do you blame the engineer w

The comments here are amusing. I imagine those anti-bitcoin and anti-AI, missed the train and are digging in their heels. Instead of adjusting to the new realities, they must stand with their prior convictions or admit they were not wise. I

Capachas? Sorry for the worst and most hated possible solution, but I thought I'd at least mention it. Maybe too many failed capachas causes you to not connect to the IP for an hour.

"Poets lie too much" What is the goal of fiction? Escapism. What does it matter if its deep or shallow? The deep ones arent entertaining enough? If you are expecting a character to enlighten you on a new problem, you are being cor

As someone deep into International Relations, I always find it a bit interesting to hear when someone says 'X nation is untrustworthy'. I mostly find it interesting because it means some event disrupted norms to a level that The C

iOS so so insecure that thousands of people have been hacked and at least 1 person was killed. The last place in security is iOS.

Let us not pretend other OS are flawless as well. Microsoft is constantly patching and Apple has been the source of so many hacks that thousands of VIPs were affected and a person was murdered.

>These kinds of propositions are determined by history, not by declaration. A single failed prediction should revoke the label. The ideal rational person should be pyrrhonian skeptic, or at a minimum a bayesian epistemologist.

100% Rationalism is an ideal, yet those who label themselves as such do not realize their base of knowledge could be wrong. They lack an understanding of epistemology and it gives them confidence. I wonder if these 'rationalists'

"I'm a Rationalist" "Here are some labels I identify as" So they arent rational enough to understand first principles don't objectively exist. They were corrupted by words of old men, and have built a foundatio

Farms or Tech? What is better? Its obvious from an economic standpoint, so I looked up from a security standpoint what crops Spain produces and it seems to be non-essentials. So its purely for export purposes. Tech will win if all is ration

I have it write algorithms, explain why my code isnt working, write API calls, or make specific functions. The entire code? Not there, but with debuggers, I've even started doing that a bit.

People have no idea how much cars benefited the lower and created the middle class. Instead of having an hour commute to move a few miles, you could have a half hour commute to move 30 miles. This made land ownership possible for this group

Even a poor family will get the backing of lobbying groups who's best interest is to ban their competitor. Not to mention, the moral coating, which matters at least a tiny bit in domestic politics. (Note, I think the moral coating is a

Licensed individuals (and their [lobbying?] group) are at risk, there is incredible money at stake. Its in the establishment groups best interest to make AI seem to be an evil/bad force. For AI companies, this is a genuine risk to one

Oh look Apple devices were hacked again . Security through obscurity isnt really working out. Their big cash apparently isnt enough. I have sensitive data on my phone that I must carry around, and there is no way I'd ever keep it on a

I'm a bit less critical on the management thing than most. As an engineer, we all want to think engineers are all that is needed. However sales and management are needed. Too many layers are a real problem, but it doesnt say much when

No surprise on my end. Mistral has been basically useless due to other models always being better. But its European, so its a point of pride. Relevance or not, we will keep hearing the name as a result.

This is a pretty wild take. Its reasonable to install a different OS on Android, even if some features don't work. I've done this, my friends and family have done this, I've seen it IRL. I've never seen anyone do this on

A thank you to HN who told me to multiply my estimates by Pi. To be serious with the recipient, I actually multiply by 3. What I can't understand is why my intuitive guess is always wrong. Even when I break down the parts, GUI is 3 hou

While I don't think there is much harm, 'If you stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare back at you.' You cannot be unaffected by events. (I know the quote is paraphrased, and specifically talking about philosophy)

I don't study domestic law enough, but I asked a professor of law: "With anything gray, does the stronger/bigger party always win?" He said: "If you ask my students, nearly all of them would say Yes"
