I see your perspective about the inevitability of death causing a forcing-function directedness for agents, but that's a much much weaker claim than (emphasis mine): > In the natural world, agency is a consequence of death: by dyi

If the porous surfaces are saturated then you'll basically be maximizing the vapor pressure of these gases in the air you breathe. Check out my sibling comment, extrapolating just from the data in the article an active ventilation syst

The GP comment is talking about active ventilation though, through an ERV/HRV system. Also the article states this: > The lifetime of these compounds indoors can be extended via partitioning to the surface reservoir as modulated by

As pointed out in another comment HEPA filters don't work well for VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are gaseous in nature. They're intended to filter particulate matter. For VOCs you need activated charcoal/carbon fil

You are interested in debating against the narrowest possible literal interpretation of a sentence while selectively removing surrounding context as it suits your argument. That's not the kind of conversation I'm interested in, so

I think what they meant is something along the lines of: - In Math, there's often more than one logically distinct way of proving a theorem, and definitely many ways of writing the same proof, though the second applies more to handwrit

You need sources for the fact that there are celebrity Twitter/Bluesky/Reddit accounts? You can easily find many of these, just some google searching is required. Not accounts owned by celebrities mind you (of which there are also

That neither addresses the core of what I'm saying nor is factually accurate, as I know many people mourning the loss of heyday Twitter.

Eh people can develop those with pseudonymous accounts too. There's a reason why people bemoan the death of early twitter "communities" and whatnot. There are plenty reddit celebrity accounts as well. People do project their

There's also the very real trap of traditional forum comments being ranked higher in your brain's algorithm for "relevance" since you can explain it as reading alternative perspectives. There's real FOMO in reading

Again, the service host and request id is part of the certification request, so you can easily separate a legitimate signup for multiple different websites from suspicious multi-signups to the same service for the same govt id.

It's a tough line to tread. Arguably, a lot of unending discourse about the "abilities" of these models stems from using ill-defined terms like reasoning and intelligence to describe these systems. On the one hand, I see the

I address all of that in my comment? I'm not sure if you even read it at this point.

I don't think they're quibbling over semantics but providing constructive cautionary feedback. I'm a comp sci person and I struggled with the "near-constant phrasing" because if you mean O(1) in our parlance, you sa

As a user I'm worried about a + b sure. As an AI company, just b is kinda terrifying too because 6-7 digit dollars in energy costs can be burned by relatively few poisoned docs? Is it possible to clean the model on the fly by identifyi

I think I'm fine with that tradeoff between effectiveness of age gating vs privacy gains of not having IDs sent over to corporations. To me, identity theft by targeting large stores of government IDs, is orders of magnitude worse than

by whatevertrevor 1y ago
Not necessarily. In theory, the attestation that someone is of age can be provided by a central service. The central service does not need the website account information to provide a non-fungible certificate, that you show to your service

by whatevertrevor 1y ago
Surely that's solved easily by ensuring a 1:1 association between the proof of age and account?

I get that. On the other hand, by making the buckets smaller, you're forced to specify the corresponding phenomena a lot more. Which might actually help people understand what applies and what doesn't, better. Understanding someth

Ah fair enough, that wasn't completely transparent to me. "Fighting and hiding emotions is counterproductive if your goal is clarity and internal harmony" is a life-lesson that took me all too long to learn, so I'm a bit

I find trying to hide and wash away emotions tends to be a dangerous strategy long term. I get that sometimes emotions are unproductive for the task at hand, but the longer you keep washing them away with "logic", the stronger the

This is a question out of genuine curiosity and not intended to minimize misophonia in any way: I do not see any examples of a "naturally occurring" sound there. Is the sound supposed to be human generated in some way? That would

Yeah I like to think of it as active roleplaying instead of having to put in an effort. Most people have to put in some effort in social situations, heck I catch myself saying unproductive things to my partner if I slip completely into pass

I also wonder if we kinda screwed ourselves by expanding pre-existing labels for disorders that appeared similar, instead of using a mixin pattern of describing the spectrum. So you could have a Photosensitivity and Social Inertness "D
