Sometimes when you "think different" you invent relativity, and sometimes you invent Time Cube. Every mouse on the market has a battery life of months. Every mouse on the market will tell the user when the battery runs down. Apple

We already have publicly-available models that are good enough for spam and scams. When running on CPU they are already faster than most people can type. The cat is out of the bag. While the "AI alignment" jackasses were writing t

This will catch only the laziest and stupidest cheaters. Crafting an argument is the hard part of an essay. A student can rewrite an essay, leaving not a single word in place, but still be guilty of plagiarism because the argument is the sa

The quality of the story is a matter of opinion, but the linearity of the story is objective fact. Just look at the chart you posted: there is one linear story to follow, with just occasional branches to alternate endings or splits that imm

How is the affair "linked" to Epstein? As far as I can tell, Epstein merely learned of it and tried to use it as leverage. Besides, how could Epstein use his own crimes to blackmail someone? If he did somehow procure this woman fo

I don't understand why Gates would care. He was well known within Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for constantly going after female subordinates. Why would this one affair be the straw that broke the camel's ba

It's unfortunate that VNs are both a medium and a genre. For reasons I don't quite understand, I adore the medium. Yet there are genre conventions that I dislike and that new readers generally can't tolerate.

SubaHibi is linear. It has the classic fake freedom: there is only one true ending and only one path to it. Any choices you make are either right or wrong, and the wrong ones are promptly punished. (And, in my opinion, it's one of the

For reasons I do not understand, I find actually playing a visual novel more immersive than just seeing video of one. Visual novels may seem like a passive experience, but the tiny bit of interaction (literally just pressing a button to con

I don't think it's obviously solvable. All current approaches are plainly incapable of introspection. These GPTs don't understand their own "minds" half as well as we understand them, and we don't understand th

That scene is ridiculous, but the de-aging was worse than ridiculous. At the beginning of the movie I thought De Niro was supposed to be about fifty years old. I knew he had been digitally de-aged but it never crossed my mind he was suppose

That could be learned working the checkout line at a grocery store. I think universities can aim a little higher.

However you want to justify it, the result is the same: luxury toys are subsidized by people who don't buy them. Every expensive car sold makes everyone's insurance premiums go up. This is a transfer of wealth from the poor and th

>and continues to get more expensive. There still is inflation, but the idea that it's still terribly high is just not true. We are currently below 5% annualized inflation. This is an average over the last year; the rate for the pas

For most people, things cost less than they did a year ago. Real wages are up over the last year. Inflation hasn't been a real problem for most people. I can't control what conclusions people reach based on incorrect or incomp

Suicide rates have been rising rapidly since 2000. They are now the highest they've been since WWII. Granted, suicide is also under-reported due to stigma, but it's another data point.

I don't understand this concern about inflation. It was never that high, didn't last very long, and wages kept up pretty well (real wages are higher today than they were a year ago [1]). People are panicking over a problem that ha

The executives and lobbyists involved can go straight to hell (better yet, prison), but I am somewhat concerned by how this might affect employees. There are some 80,000 tax preparers in the U.S.. These people did not invent this scam and a

Everyone else was trying to condemn Minsky based on just as little evidence. Why is that OK but defending him isn't? I am not trying to claim Stallman isn't strange and insensitive. He is unlikable and unpleasant to be around .
