Even if the most bearish predictions turn out to be correct, the comparison of LLMs to NFTs is a galaxy-spanning stretch. NFTs are about as close to literally useless as it gets, and that was always obvious; 99% of the serious attention pai

Personally, I prefer the second example that they advise against. ("To download Amaya, go to the _Amaya_Website_ and get the necessary software.") A link that just says "Amaya" could be an internal or external link, and

Fair enough! I didn't mean to push against any exploration of this sort of thing; I think it's interesting too (and even if I didn't, that would be no reason to try to impose my feelings on others). I think the main thing I w

Your original complaint was that the phrase is meaningless. To people who are familiar with it, it's obviously not meaningless! For those who are unfamiliar with it, I'd say the bafflingness is more feature than bug; you'll i

That's just a spicy way of saying "I am unfamiliar with this idiom". Nobody is saying you should unilaterally start using it in the US, or in any other context where nobody would understand you. They're saying that, for

I think this discussion of "Friday week" has people talking at cross purposes, and there may not be any real disagreement. It's an idiom, and if you're part of a (sub-)culture that has this idiom, its meaning is unambigu

I freely admit that I'm out of my depth here, but it seems that they brought about this misalignment by taking GPT-4o (which has already undergone training to steer it away from various things, including offensive speech and insecure c

Your speaking speed is noticeably faster than usual, but I think it's good for this kind of video. When the content is really dense and every word is chosen for maximum information value, a slower speed would be good, but for relativel

On Lichess, this isn't the case; if I set my movement preference to 'click two squares', a click on a piece is registered immediately on mousedown regardless of cursor movement. (When I set my movement preference to 'eit

That may be true of the average user, but you have no way of knowing it's true of the person you replied to. It's 100% possible to check the sources properly, and form your beliefs accordingly, if you want to.

This seems too strong. Assuming they're 100% indoor, you could say they don't have any pathogens that haven't at some point been present in your house. But that's not so comforting.

This is possibly way too personal, and obviously I get it if you don't reply. But I'm curious -- was the sexual contact of a sort that would obviously carry this risk? Or a sort where you had to get very unlucky, or something in b

I was responding to the line "if it is only the laws that are keeping people from killing each other, we are in big trouble". My point is that clearly it's not only the laws (and the parent commenter never claimed so), but

Who said 'only'? The threat of punishment is not needed to prevent most people from killing, most of the time. But it sure does help in some edge cases!

What makes it a good question? It's obvious that we can't conjure universally compelling moral axioms out of nowhere; all of our moral reasoning ultimately rests on fundamental values that one either cares about or doesn't. I
