Because 3 is a poor psychological, practical, and emotianal fit for most people. Probably kids, as well. Alloparenting is great, but 3 parents running the same household would be a nightmare in most cases.

"Unnatural" is a value claim disguised as fact. Worse, it's incorrect.

The experience of serendipity of urban life is available in almost every mid-tier city. No one in this thread has offered any explanation or example of some unique thing that NYC has that other places don't that leaves their their poor

The comparison is to NYC and we are talking tshirt sizes. Not sure a more granular classification does any work here.

Name something. Also, it's pretty dubious to think 7 million people agree with you just because they live in the city in question.

It still sounds like the things you claim are unique to NYC aren't. Maybe your strong preference rests on something else you aren't identifying. In my experience NYC has nothing in it that you can't find in dozens of other US

That's so misleading. The number of mid-tier cities in the US with worthwhile museums and varied cultural access is in the many dozens. Totally skewed to think that NYC/L.A./Chicago are the only places you can raise kids in a

I listen to a podcast called This Week in Virology that's run by some prominent virologists and I hear this term used often, so I don't think that it's fallen out of fashion. Laypersons probably never much used the term to be

Not correct. "You can't judge a theory just by reading about it." Also, can't see why it should matter one way or the other.

Not correct. "You can't judge a theory just by reading about it."

by ryanklee 3y ago
Totally wrong. If the goal is to evaluate a theory's virtues, there's nothing stopping you if you have access to the correct documentation (provided it exists). Not sure what you think is missing.
225.
by ryanklee 3y ago
Yes, you can. If the theory is well-formulated, rests on vetted facts, and you understand the context sufficiently, you can say: "This is a good theory." If it's not well-formulated or does not rest vetted facts, and your und

Why not? It's dumb advice that doesn't stand up to critical scrutiny.

This will be stupid and horrible, and probably bend the arc of Musk's fate closer towards prison and bankruptcy.

That's not really answering my question. If (1) an LLM is able to arrive at solutions in the same class of difficulty as the solution for the target problem and (2) it's not possible to establish the provenance of the solution act
231.
by ryanklee 3y ago
I don't see how it's possible to show that the solution is lifted by the LLL as opposed to a arrived at by the LLM. It seems to me that such solutions are soon to be within the set potentially constructed by an LLM.

It's such a bad book. Why would you continue to recommend it? It doesn't follow its own advice. It doesn't have any clue of how language actually functions. The style it purports to offer up is old and crusty. There are far b

I hope that someday this message makes it into the primary schools. It'd be nice to have a future generation with a significantly lower count of idiotic language pedants.

"We are quickly reaching the limits of current AI" So many words in this piece, but nothing to back up this primary assertion.

Calling something idiotic without details is an empty objection. Calling two of the most powerful thought experiments in philosophy of mind and consciousness idiotic without details is less than empty, it's ridiculous. My objection has

How is it not helpful to point out that people are not having the kind of conversation that they think they are having, or that their assertions do not have the weight they believe them to have? Presumably most people here are familiar with
