I tried GPT4 yesterday to write a relatively small python ML/data analysis CLI tool. It makes the development much faster, sure, very impressive, yes - but it makes dumb mistakes as well (such as writing True where it should be False e

I know at least two use cases where crypto really shines: 1) fast international transfers, including to countries not fully connected to an international bank system, 2) receiving and sending secure donations that are not susceptible to cre

Any reasons not to consider Linux laptops? I have exactly the same predicament as you and feel like I'm finally ready to hop into the light side (Linux is by far the best desktop os these days).

The specific theory is bogus, but is the general principle completely unthinkable? For instance, some facial features might correlate with hormone exposure during development, which in turn might correlate with brain development and thus ch

Maybe I missed that - did they misreport anything? I know they royally fucked up, put they didn't really hide the fact that the (encrypted) vault data was stolen.

Or just solve the problem by banning motorcycles. Motorcycles should stay on race tracks where they belong, not on foggy roads with tired commuters. Same with normal bikes, by the way: cycling on the same road with fast-driving cars should

There is a difference between the usage of 'xer' by an edgy teenager who identifies as something incomprehensible vs, for instance, using 'she/her' to refer to a biological male that made a conscious, adult decision

I am sincerely curious: are you able to provide a criterion or two that would allow me to make objective moral decisions (the possibility of which I think you are postulating)? How do I know slavery is immoral, besides that it is considered

I cannot agree that deterring others from undesirable behavior is an ethically valid reason to punish anyone. People don't break laws 'just because'. Behind every crime there is always a smorgasbord of neurological, sociologi

I don't know exactly, but of what use is prison in this case besides inflicting unnecessary suffering? There probably is no hand-wavy answer to this, but surely it is possible to come up with sufficient civic restrictions on him to pre

This makes the term 'violence' useless. He didn't use physical force or any other form of power to force anyone to do anything; instead, he lied to people, convincing them to transfer their money to his platform voluntarily.

What is the point in throwing someone who didn't commit violent crimes in prison? Punishment? Vengeance?

I think this is just a wordplay that abuses the imprecision of the word 'want'. For example, a drug addict wants (as in has a very strong internal, biology- and subconsious-driven desire for) heroin, but doesn't want to want

I’d rather not listen to music for the rest of my life than do an interview to join a tracker. Not sure why, but I find the whole idea repulsively elitist; I suspect I’m not the only one.

It is surprising to me that this and some of the subsequent comments view the state of tiling WMs on Mac unfavourably. I run i3gaps on my personal GNU/Linux machine and yabai with skhd at work, and both work equally fine in my experie

You can do all type of flavour of bioinformatics in industry as well; in fact, the profession is so undersaturated it is really easy for a qualified individual to lend a nice R&D position in big or small pharma or biotech.

My impression from NR studies where Brenner is a leading co-author was exactly what you’re describing - weak or nonexistent results presented as a massive success. Not sure why he isn’t called out on this and still maintains his reputation.

This is often an underestimated point. I get 9-5 no overtimes plus 38 vacation days per year (and an ability to purchase more). It would take a lot of money - more than I am likely to get - to convince me to switch to a US working schedule.
