   I'm not sure that being sentimental about and talking up genocidal mass-murderers like the Georgiou character etc. easily fits your characterization of the franchise.

   I was as disappointed as everbody else by Artemis , but Project Hail Mary was a great return to form and a great Space MacGyver Procedura. Definitely left me fired up and feeling positive as well. I really appreciate just the joy in know

   I think it's a call for being aspirational. I grew up with optimistic, aspirational sci-fi in my childhood, and I feel it's given me a solid grounding and the ability to notice when things are not right and not going well. I, too,

   It looks quite fantastic on my fairly new OLED screen, and the colors are pleasingly differentiated here. Obviously designing for bad screens and/or eyes are both very important considerations, though.

   I feel like declining birthrates and misogyny unfortunately easily go hand in hand, causing a downward spiral. The rarer kids are, the more they tend to get spoiled and the more likely they are to act entitled towards others.

   This rings super plausible to me. I dabbled a bit in hobby electronics making DIY walkers, and the more time you spend on junior stuff like that (trying to model a good response to servo load feedback that works in every situation, etc.) th

   I suppose the (crummy) analog is that a human's "models" are equally not entirely general; we have evolved a particular architecture that is baked into our hardware and perpetuated via our DNA. It's fuzzy and plastic and

    I can get productivity advantages from using power tools, yet regular exercise has great advantages, too. It's a bit similar with the brain, learning and AI use. Except when it comes to gaining and applying knowledge, the muscle that i

    Thanks! I'm currently making something inspired by your Timeframe, but using an OLED panel, as a 2nd screen for my desk - but almost the same form-factor and a similar design. I'm trying out a faux 3D-printed wood process with woo

    I know. I guess I tend to focus on the adults who I think are in principle trying and reachable, because I think there we can make a difference by popularizing the right information.

    I often wonder if we (the tech industry) have come up with anything actually good since about 2005 or so, in terms of being a net win for society or something people actually need. Increasingly, we seem to provide solutions in search of a p

    I think it's because a lot of adults cannot empathize with the lack of self-regulation in children and young adults. They imagine themselves being able to reject the social media firehose (whether true or not ...) and have no real mode

    You point out agency yourself, which is indeed the differentiator. Combatants in wars are rarely on the battlefield by their own choice or design.

    Seems to me like they're somewhat trying to simplify now. GPT-N.m -> Non-reasoning oN -> Reasoning oN+1-mini -> Reasoning but speedy; cut-down version of an upcoming oN model (unclear if true or marketing) It would be nice if

    They just want the next wave of Ghibli meme clicks to go to them, really. This will be built on the existing thread+share infra ChatGPT already has, and just allow profiles to cross-post into conversations, with UI and features more geared
