I would hope any good director would have the sense to know that it probably isn't for them. I can't imagine Spielberg picking this up. Gangs of New York is about as close as Scorsese could get but still too Hollywood. The Cohens

I'm gonna be brave and say Dave Bautista. I haven't seen Knock at the Cabin yet, but it looks like he's got the range from the previews. He's big enough and imposing enough as well.

This comment gave me a solid chuckle. I have things like this as well, but I've been low-key stewing on for years or decades, just waiting for the right moment to let the world know.

I know what you mean. There is something comforting in knowing that a real person like you is out there in world, existing and somehow making it. It's important that they are actually real too, or as real as you can verify. I was also

Sure, you might also be just as interested in a society capable of working towards something like the LHC or ITER, by taking care of its citizens and through diplomacy. I think it's a more interesting goal than controlling the seas so

I think it's going to get worse for social media. Lately I've been seeing more and more "content" suggested to me that is AI generated. Architecture that doesn't exist. People that don't exist in locations that

It would be part of HRT for menopause for the reasons I gave: mental health, sexual desire, muscle maintenance. The discussion about estrogen in men is just for context. It's not unusual to talk about levels of any hormone in men or wo

Estrogen/progesterone and testosterone are not exclusively female/male hormones. Testosterone may boost sex drive and increase muscle mass, as well as provide some psychological benefit in women. Estrogen is the most important reg

It's easy to do this with anything in computer science as others can implement or recreate whatever is being discussed easily. Not so with a 6 month experiment with several groups of humans, or even a 2 week one with rats.

The marketplace of ideas relies on everyone in it being some kind of purely rational actor who seeks truth. In reality, it can be to your benefit to believe something that isn't true, to get an out-group punished and yourself elevated.

There are articles about Toyota, Ford, and GM having data breaches if you search for them. The difference with this one is the kind of data exposed. It's not just user location data, it appears to be some malfeasance by the company its

I'm curious, do you do much reading of Wikipedia in languages other than English? I don't, so I don't have an answer here, but I wonder how much neutrality there is in Russian or Vietnamese or Urdu wiki articles. English Wiki

This really just makes it seem like it's not reason at all. The trick (or rather un-trick) here is that you can look at the bulbs as many times as you want. Even if I explicitly tell GPT4 that, it doesn't get it. It's not rea
