Kind of ironic coming from the person who would be personally creating the armageddon. How about just don't do it and it won't happen?

Sounds like Python wasn't right for those people in the first place. Abstracting away the internal data format is typical of Python.

Since they're not the actual same people still alive, it depends if you consider "the same people" to be those linked by ancestry or by continuity of some social organization structure they adhere to.

It's about the pressure vessel's weight. That goes up with the square of the linear dimension while the quantity of fuel goes with that cubed. I don't think finding space to fit it is the problem. In the case of normal fuel,

Squared-cubed law for tank weight and fuel weight. So hydrogen will have poor energy density at small scales. Not sure where it dips below that of batteries but rockets are OK with it, so smaller than that. Perhaps if you store it in a ball

Not a fan of metric screw threads? Mandates were needed in some countries to change from imperial to metric because the market can't make such a non-incremental move on its own even if it's good for everyone.

Imagine if even strongly typed languages had different string types for various encodings like that and enforced them. Then such bugs would be as rare as, say, a date appearing as a huge integer.

No doubt because of the pornography more than the technology.

What are you talking about? It has statistical predictive ability when used on groups of people. Of course it can be very inaccurate for an individual but the reality of being able to make testable predictions makes it pretty hard to throw

Because the different outcomes of those groups is popularly used as a reason that there must be racism causing it which leads to division, hate, and further racist government actions as people imagine that that racism must be very serious t

Then stop voting for those corrupt politicians.

Information spread on the news and social media probably made them that way. Ironically.

Just because you see somebody's behavior as obviously wrong doesn't mean it is. Whenever I see this kind of arrogance I remember a story about westerners discovering some indigenous tribe in the jungle and seeing how they do a mag

You can also murder someone with a hammer. Why are we all walking around pretending we can't? Laws exist to serve the interests of people, not to reflect natural laws. Copyright is no different. If you don't like it, make the case

Of course it's just nonsense political statements. They don't have to make sense. But Taiwan is funny because they make the same claim! In a way, they're right, Taiwan (Republic of China) used to control a lot of mainland Chi

Look at the actual research that supposedly leads to the rejection of that idea. There doesn't seem to be any, except for a bunch of unsupported speculation. A notorious example is the Minessota Transracial Adoption Study or something

Did you just invent an imaginary group of baddies, assign them an imaginary belief, and then feel concerned because they "exist"?

Innate was too strong a word. I meant to say that it was pre-existing. Any discrimination in a job application is not the discrimination that causes low IQ, if any. That occurs in early childhood.

It could also be solved by Ukranian people doing a similar thing. The eastern parts of Ukraine are hardly even Ukraine anyway. Borders are malleable. Just do a bit of surrender to end the war.

What limitation exactly? This one uses a language model to predict likely next words in the sequence so it doesn't have to identify an isolated word from the whole dictionary. Considering these models can construct valid English passag

You're just doing what the TFA did, which is notice some trends and assume they'll continue until the point of some sort of "disaster". But you don't have a clue, just been exposed to too much hype. To be specific -

That's what redundancy in language is for. You hear this kind of vowel and emphasis mistake all the time in non-native English speakers and we can mostly work out what they mean from context.

Thanks for writing that. While I don't automatically believe it all, I think it's important to see what's arbitrary and what's natural in our units. I've struggled with the Hz vs rad/s before and I think I reso

How so? That they weren't intelligent enough to keep their genes pure? Couldn't they have been dominant but also a minority so they were willingly diluted away? I wonder if the Neanderthal genes we have are more from men or women?

They might not realize they're hurting themselves, which makes it a bug. Backblaze did this with one of these hash collisions. You could back up two different (colliding) files and when you tried to restore both, only two copies of the
