'We don't arrest people for speech, we arrest them for crimes we've defined as speech' is not the defense you think it is.

You're playing a shell game with definitions to justify authoritarian speech laws. > lumping together arrests for stalking, incitement to violence and other forms of harassment to produce a big scary number But that's exactly t

I misunderstood what you were trying to imply but still think your premise is mistaken. My reply is merely directed at anyone implying the US's free speech-laws are somehow comparable to the authoritarian anti-free-speech laws the UK h

Meritocracy is simply a means of preventing elites from kicking the ladders down, nothing more, nothing less. Once the ladders are kicked down, which all elites will inevitablely try to do, society will start to stagnate, your country will

There are certain angles you just can't cover with traditional methods in my opinion, we will have to wait until people get a broader intuition on when/where to harmonize them. For games like dwarf fortress, I think embeddings are

Rather than viewing it as a predictive system, I think it's more pragmatic to view it as a kind of poll. Basically it's a quick and dirty way to check general sentiment around certain topics.

I find evolution interesting because I like algorithms, so I view it through that lens. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this perspective. Clarifying my mental model is by no means simple hand waving. Tell me this, which is more produ

I suspect there could be a misalignment in semantics here, and not necessarily a disagreement. When a biologist says "evolutionary pressure" perhaps they have a different way of modeling what that means to them? To me evolutionary

I'm broadly speculating here, but I tend to view most mechanisms like this as evolution's "desire" for a well tuned, but imperfect , CRC check. Ignoring whether or not it would even be possible, a perfect CRC is antithe

I like to joke with people that us programmers automated our jobs away decades ago, we just tell our fancy compilers what we want and they magically generate all the code for us! I don't see LLMs as much different really, our jobs beco

You have it backwards, weakness encourages conflict, we get WWIII when there is a belief that the gains will outweigh the losses. Our modern peace is not from enlightenment but because war became too destructive. Peace should never be assum

It's easy to underestimate just how slow digital systems are in many real time scenarios compared to analog systems. Consider it in the context of camera based self-driving cars, it's tangential to this discussion but it's
