Depends who you ask. I personally rarely noticed memory management overhead when using Emacs. If it indeed behaves janky, then the ancient defaults are to blame. Automated memory management is very difficult in the general case, but the str

This is already the reality for alcohol and plenty of other things. Maybe not everywhere. Reality check: parents giving unrestricted access to these things are usually perceived as irresponsible.

Money is a very interesting reward to study though because of its paramount importance in society. With money, one can do and focus on a lot of things. Without money, life is hard. Even in countries with a welfare state, as most benefits ar

Studying the different response to that reward is kinda the point of the paper though.

Even speakers of Sinitic languages, where usage of measure words is grammatically required, are often not aware of all the "correct" ones, and commonly use more generic ones. Ain't nobody got time for that :)

It's an arbitrary threshold for the sake of discussion. Of course Norway, one of the most developed countries and richest countries per capita, manages to have good content in its written language s on the internet. Model training als

It must set a terribly high threshold (like language certificate holders or graduates of English-speaking schools) or actually report the percentage of native speakers. But one only has to be fluent enough to write chat messages to use a te

I highly welcome the effort as well*, but I don't see why they would have to mistake first-language ability for fluency to argue for that. The difference is vast and relevant: anyone with good English reading and writing skills can tak

Has anybody else noticed the map indicating that there are barely any fluent English speakers outside of the "English-speaking" countries? Or is the threshold for fluency so high that no place even in Europe except the Ireland and

Why would you end up with shitty cards if you did them yourself? And how can you even tell whether ChatGPT made good ones? And how much of a difference do the "better" cards even make? There is not necessarily a tradeoff here. Sur

Of course you don't have to create your own cards, but they would work better if you did . You can use ChatGPT to automate onerous tasks, but have to compensate for it by engaging with the material in other ways. I doubt that grindi

If you are really overwhelmed by the answers, then you could stick to just one or two of them. I agree that having too many can be overwhelming. The SRS algorithm should still work. I don't recommend to use "well", as you won

Using Anki is not a goal in itself. It's just a tool to help you cram facts into your brain. Once you have done that, you can and should build associations and knowledge on top of them. Reviews ensure that less-often used facts are not

That is important. SRS doesn't work for many people because, in short, they don't really enjoy it.

Yeah, maybe. Money is not the only issue. Battle-hardened troops simply take a long time to be replaced. The early 5th century saw lots of infighting between eastern and western emperors and ambitious provincial rulers, which predictably de

As you say, that's just the current phase of the war. No stalemate or operational lull holds forever. Anyways, that doesn't affect the rest of my argument.

There's some truth to that. Europa, Enceladus, and other places are more than frozen ice balls because they get tidal heating from orbiting a gas giant. Even so, there are probably vast amounts of rogue gas giants between the stars. Th

Mass conscription for what? The most dangerous bottleneck of western forces is supply of advanced weaponry, which is already taxed by the war in Ukraine. Even if these supply bottlenecks are fixed, it will continue to be a severe strain on

Plants compete with each other for sunlight, space, and nutrients. Poisoning the competition is just another strategy to get an edge.

by samus 3y ago
Plants are also known to be hostile to other plants. For example, leaves of walnut trees contain natural herbicides that stop other trees from growing and become competition. This is just another example of such behavior.

CPUs are anticipating all the time how the future will evolve. They have caches (to be specific, expiration strategies), branch predictors, and speculative execution. Albeit for a very different purpose: to enhance processing speed, not to

The wing was an exaggeration. Plenty of other critical parts could fall off.

by samus 3y ago
Pressure loss can be mitigated by dropping oxygen masks and descending to a lower altitude. The plane falling apart is more tricky. The door leading to pressure loss is a red herring. What about a wing falling off?

Our signals are so weak that they will probably fade and get drowned out by the electromagnetic noise of interstellar space. We can communicate with our probes only because we use directional signals and we pretty much know what to look for
