The flip side is what exactly do you need to say that you're silenced from saying. Our natural instinct to enter debates and "win" them really leads otherwise smart people astray as well. Let the activists yap. And you do wha

Physics is simple, is that so... Combine quantum mechanics with general relativity then. Einstein couldn't.

Profanity is objective and can be detected mostly in an automated way. Which means it may not be THAT useful to remove it, but it's EASY to remove it, and the decisions are not CONTROVERSIAL. While concepts like "hate speech"

I'm not sure that "what's less unsettling" is a good criteria. Also you only provide two options, which given the unknown character of the phenomenon, would count as a false dichotomy.

Beliefs are often a bit too crude relative to the modern rational mindset we should encourage in ourselves and others. A scientist may, in casual conversation speak about whether they "believe" in aliens or not, but if you ask the

"Do you believe in X" is almost always the wrong question.

Trolling can mean many things, not just satire. Probably a more annoying form of trolling is when your opponent deliberately shifts around the frame of conversation in order to make it meaningless. Formally known as "pigeon chess"

Let's create a forum where we mandate strict communication style that rules out emotions, subjectivism and sticks only to pure information.

You're relatively neutral (which I highly appreciate as it's rare), but still I feel some sense of entitlement that if you make YouTube content that's taking on controversial topics you're owed advertisers. You're n

I think it's quite telling that you point to me about having idealized, subjective expectations and then describe the demo as "limited yet fully dynamic gameplay". It rotates the car to left or right depending on whether you

I wouldn't call it scamming, but 173MB is not small at all. At the resolution of this model, you can easily fit the entire Titanic movie in 173MB. Maybe even have enough space for audio. Furthermore no one is saying the model "mem

Maybe not entirely, because just like a dream, the rules of a neural network tend to drift and be somewhat fuzzy. Unless it's a high-concept game whose very goal is offering you a dream environment. But I do believe neural networks wil

There's no detectable difference between manufactured and organic "canceling" because the major component in both cases is a horde of people who are just looking for a hate bandwagon to hop on. Likewise if you are publishing

Basically bunch of wanking about futuristic AR sci-fi technology that the author has decided to accept as proven to be coming, but actually isn't. See flying cars 20 years ago.

Well, it's easy to get excited fantasizing about the future, but your predictions are about as likely to occur as the flying cars we're flying around right now. In fact none of the major platforms we use today was just predicted a

It's a challenge, but I'd probably look into any decoders that parallelize the decoding and see if I can abuse this.

I think you're trying to compare and contrast things that don't contradict each other. Having APIs is one thing (and Apple has lots of APIs about many things), and integrating the whole experience is another. Amazon and Apple do b

I'm not sure why we consider more intelligent life as more worthy of protection. Why do we consider a specimen in isolation and not a species in its ecosystem. Eating one crab is considered better than one octopus. What about 100 crabs

No one cares about someone’s improvised broad generalizations and “one day it’ll be great” patronizing speeches. The question was what’s it good for as it is today, based on people with knowledge about it. In particular the only thing you d
