Why would Zeus care? The greek afterlife is a sort of pointless outcome to Pascal's wager so it isn't even worth factoring in.

Sure the plumber is free to only offer outrageous rates but I'm not sure they would be able to markup a roll of teflon tape they used in the repairs as 50k and say that is covered by "plus unexpected expenses up to 50k". To m

How is that legal? What is stopping the hospital from charging 200 million dollars for the rabies shots? If I hired someone to fix my plumbing and they wouldn't give me an estimate and then decided to charge me $20k/hr I don'

Why would ChatGPT provide me with dangerous code if I prompt it benignly? I just the other day used ChatGPT to create a webscraper for a friends project and it provided me with an only slightly wrong implementation to scrape data from a spe

Not the poster you asked the question to but: I think we are going to be building and using 'sub-AGI' models for a very long time, probably well after we (probably achieve) full AGI. I think these 'sub-AGI' models are go

You could always try and fix it so the table logic is aware of the latex snippet renderings. I recently messed around with org-drill, found it wasn't really behaving like I wanted it to, decided to change it myself, and then was pleasa

Seemed to left have out the simplest explanation. Consciousness doesn't exist. Unrelated but it is a bit strange to me that a lot of (most? nearly all?) atheists believe in consciousness.

Doesn't just putting the cards in order of concepts essentially accomplish this? When I was doing Anki I adjusted my new card rate so my retention rate stayed above 90%. If you do it this way then your chances of getting stuck in a cer

The studies aren't doing the same thing. Yours looks at only the effects on obesity, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease. The OP's study purports to look at all health effects.

Study says it assesses the "totality of scientific evidence" but conveniently ignores all of the scientific evidence for the negative side effects of dairy. It is a very stupid study.

Left and right are relative, obviously. If we go according to the original definition of being opposed to the ancient regime in France then that would make essentially the entire United States decidedly left-wing. That isn't very usefu

This is by design. The game theoretic winning strategy is to highly target 50% of the voting population (adjusted for electoral representation) and by doing that you are guaranteed to piss off or confuse a lot of the remainder. Imagine you

Unless a kitchen is specifically set up for preparing food completely gluten free without cross contamination then there is going to be cross contamination. Most kitchens simply aren't big enough. It isn't a matter of taking it se

Yes, but you need very good latency to the other player for it to work well. The typical setup is to use something like parsec where one person hosts the emulator and streams audio/video and the other person sends keyboard commands. Yo

Agreed, 'art' as something distinct from any other creative activity is a fairly recent western invention. If you take art at face value from it's basic definition it just means something like 'technique' and that

You shouldn't think of the anime in isolation. They are multimedia franchises. The anime is there to sell the manga, the figures, the light novel, etc.

One fun example from dark souls 2 on pc: If your FPS was set to 60 (from the consoles ~30fps) your weapons would degrade twice as fast apparently due to weapon durability loss being counted per frame that your weapon was in contact with a w

Ah yeah, I'd typically create cards "just in time", so to speak, because I found that my retention would drop significantly without the context of what I was learning fresh in my mind.

by s_m_t 7y ago
Why were you adding 20 new cards a day? IMO its better to adjust your new card rate based on your retention rate. Your ideal retention rate probably depends on how you react to the "stress" of missing cards. Personally it would ma

>1. printf may malloc so don't use it in an out of memory situation. Though I think this problem is vanishingly unlikely these days. I feel like you've just saved my future self from a terrible bug in the future. Thanks

In my experience it usually is some sort of stupid config error from which I glean no deeper understanding. I'd much rather rely on magic than go around chasing bugs that I might not ever be able to convince the owner of a repository t

This is huge imo. It is exactly a web interface that can use bluetooth. One of the major problems with the BLE protocol is that there is really no standard client for a user to interact with devices. To access on the computer you'd nee
