I find talking about "knowing" is too much anthropomorphizing to my taste. A more accurate description would be that it can synthesize an endless amount of pictures that the viewer will reco…

Happens to me too -- it's a great way to make new things. However, the "creation" I'd argue happens when you look at the pile of random stuff and generate a new understanding, and …

I would be happy to ignore them, if it wasn't that: - They are always pushing their ideology into the spaces I frequent, forcing me to engage in some way, and - They vent their mining CO2 to the …

I'm not against that point, as I mentioned in another comment, research into hydrocarbon synthesis is the only "carbon capture" scheme that makes sense to me, because it's not prom…

Argentina is currently experiencing a booming inflation and local distrust for its currency is at an all time high (and that's saying a lot). Many Argentinians (of a certain technical inclination…

Is it really? If you can't change it for goods and services before turning it back into regular, government controlled currency, is it out of the hands of governments? If China can get all the mi…

Or at least create the hydrocarbons in a factory, sucking the carbon from the atmosphere, and using energy from renewable sources or something of the sort. This would be carbon neutral at least, and s…

I really don't understand how carbon capture can make sense, in terms of thermodynamics. Burning hydrocarbons releases energy, plus carbon dioxide and water vapor. Capturing the carbon dioxide ba…

I think that this "Heartland Institute" cited may be a biased source.

>By most metrics we’re better off than the 90s except for people’s sentiment. And temperature

I thought everybody else had forgotten about OnLive. It was the same thing, but 10 years before: a lot of media hype for a product that nobody wanted

The ultra-rich have always bought media outlets. Citizen Kane is fiction, but is based on very real people.

Not to go all Godwin, but Hitler is right there in Austria, visible from the farthest level of zoom.

On the language internet point, it's pretty amazing, yeah. For example, all the English youtube niches have Spanish language equivalents, and watchers of one are totally unaware that they are sit…

>Your city council approved it, likely after several public hearings “But Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.” “Oh yes, well, as soon as I…

This is terrible for people with glasses btw -- induces much more chromatic aberration than other light sources, and is very distracting and hard to ignore. At the edges of the field of view objects g…

Well, it's not wrong. But I think that comment would get flagged, it parses too obviously an off-topic joke

Yeah it's much better to call this the "fallacy fallacy"

Almost perfect, needs a bit more snark

I'd say it's pretty useful to discuss hypotheticals of all kinds. In this case, generating ideas for uses of a technology that is under development might increase interest and therefore fund…

The "biosphere" will be fine. It's been through much worse. It's the humans that are screwed.

In a professional space, I find that getting that treatment is usually preferable to starting an argument on ethics. I'm just trying to get some work done, not really looking to illuminate my cow…

But aren't the percieved colors redshifted? Aren't these "false color" images just blueshifting the colors back to a visible light image, which is how they would look if they were …

Or allowing infinite scroll, automatically navigating the entire page to the next article, including changing the URL

My experience of being sleep deprived is that my memory starts going downhill -- I feel like I have difficulty recalling what happened on days where I was running on little sleep, even after I have ha…

But it also applies to the model. If you label data taking into account the context (which subreddit this was posted), your model also must take this into account, or it will be wrong as well. If the …

The core of the problem is unsolvable, since any automated system can be defeated by a sufficiently motivated human.

Well, it's incredible in the sense that I can't believe it

Yes, actually. I find silence (or evasives) to be better than outright lies. It gives space to read between the lines.

I don't like the user initiated modals either, but I understand this is a matter of taste. For example, the search function opens a modal that covers part of the text, and when it's out of f…
