We tried to eliminate grief by decree and now we wonder why everyone is depressed.

Similar to this: "you will never be smarter than the rest of your team".

Essentially "I am rational therefore I am right". Another passage that rings a bell: > Today the method has a life of its own, driven by a community of people interested in discussing difficult topics, seeking truth and reflect

If you have the space, host parties. It exercises a whole set of social skills: deciding who to invite, persuading them to come, keeping a positive mood, etc. Also, guests tend to be respectful towards the host, tilting the field in your fa

I prefer both. I like when something works right out of the box. And then I read the manual and find out about all those moments when the defaults were saving me from my foolishness. And then I can unfold the thing's real potential.

Particularly in the case of astronomy, citizen science is important. It probably won't give you an Annus Mirabilis, but might be satisfying.

Sorry, I should have said "it is possible for some programs ". Thanks for pointing it out.

It is possible, but the proof's effort grows combinatorially with the size of the program. The large majority of "real software" is not amenable to this kind of test, making the mathematical theorem very concrete.

How can a system solve the halting problem?

by sasaf5 5y ago
I don't like computers because the halting problem has no solution. This is why every software-based product will always have annoying varying latencies. My automatic watch, my piano, and my light switches will always respond immediate

Count calories. Then all the loose advice you hear around will fall in place and make sense. Physics is on your side on that quest!

Think of all the security vulnerabilities and patent violations that would become apparent in case the Verilog is released too.

This "speed entitlement" is something that bothers me even when I am also a motorist. I get honked out of my boots if I do not accelerate towards a red light. Drivers feel entitled to move forward as fast as possible, regardless o

> I’d still prefer a targeted ad over a random ad that is unrelated to me. No, a million times no. A targeted ad requires my personal information being collected, and the resulting assumption of my needs may be offensive and even dangero

Time to go back to the lab and develop new materials and processes. Capital will one day notice that the social media adtech space is way overfunded for the little benefit it gives and will move on to more interesting things. It is taking l

I get hypnotized by tiktok even by seeing it over other people's shoulders. HN and reddit already makes me feel guilty. I am not even starting with that one.

I have a VR set too (not by Meta, incidentally), I also really enjoy it (War Thunder, Half Life Alyx). That has nothing to do with Facebook's half-baked hype around the "metaverse". For me it's just another "Libra&q

Undoing the clickbait: It isn't a machine, it's a set of rules to be followed by humans. This rules can be changed, amended, or removed. The doomsday machine of Dr. Strangelove couldn't be turned off even by their creators. S

The plural of anecdote is not data. I am sorry for your negative reaction, but in aggregate the vaccines are much better than catching covid. "This whole thing is not working" because of the 30% odd who prefer not to do their part
