I also think more accurate. The opening sentence of Neuromancer is one of the most beautifully perfect metaphors I've ever read - one that's also chock full of symbolism. It may be the single best line of writing I've…
Russia is neither forcibly conscripting nor are they preventing anyone from leaving the country should they wish. Ukraine is doing both at an increasingly absurd scale, all the while people wave their flag-of-the-week…
Further claims from Ukraine: they've had 30,000 total deaths, are inflicting casualties at a 10:1 rate, have a 'Ghost of Kyiv' single handedly flying around taking on Russia, Russia is out of missiles, and so on…
LLMs are 100% deterministic. The facade of randomness is injected solely by a superfluous rng factor.
So is a command prompt.
You ellipsed out the answer - economic opportunity.
There's obviously many more long tail games, but with few exceptions games, even long tailed, tend to be heavily front loaded. The list, in terms of games from e.g. 2018-2023 will likely look identical, so far as the…
Think about what you're saying - the majority of those games are at least 16 years old. That itself is fairly damning but what puts it over the top is that there are wayyyy more gamers nowadays than there were 16 years…
Think about all the hours you've spent doing what we all do on this site which is, ultimately, nothing. Imagine if you had directed those hours towards learning or training some sort of skill. You would, almost…
At my university I know at least one person who intentionally tested positive soley for profit - the drugs sold/sell for huge markups, especially around exam time. No idea what all it entailed other than the fact that…
Meh results oriented thinking. Elon revolutionized rockets and electrical vehicles with 0 previous domain knowledge. In another timeline both concepts fail and he's just another clueless guy who blew a bunch of money on…
I did multiple accounts with no problem, but in trying to do you I got the same error. You've broke the system.
Oh god that's genuinely way more amusing than I thought llm systems were capable of.
Antarctica isn't this great example people think it is. International treaties require people leave it in as close to its natural condition as possible. Taking a piss outside is illegal, even peoples crap has to be…
Even beyond green, it's nice to see things being tried in the real world that aren't just scammy/$ grabs. It's not quite as cooperative as the digital, but rather more relevant.
That 50% was after years of bubble optimism and actively blinding themselves to data strongly suggestive otherwise. Had the Apollo missions failed you would obviously be arguing, using the exact same data, that they…
The ISS's orbit is not particularly stable and it needs regular reboosts which leaves everything else scheduled with this in mind. Providing food and other necessary resources for a long stay would not be especially…
The fundamental problem is that we keep setting 'reasonable' benchmarks, implicitly because we want to make them seem reachable, but then when we inevitably do we find it feels we [of course] haven't achieved what we…
This is not the sort of topic where that happens. Everybody is aware that if you spin the data this way or that on these sort of topics (broadly - social science with strong preformed views that tends to directly apply…
There's no trust or belief - you're just trading one scarce in demand resource due another scarce in demand resource - nothing more and nothing less. This is the reason your money becomes worth less when we print more.…
You're referring to the normal and reasonable view, but I think most are targeting this weird new(ish) concept, heavily intertwined into politics, that any and all differences between groups are due to biases or other…
Money has a perception of value because of scarcity + demand. The government could, in theory, 'print' enough money to make every single American a trillionaire tomorrow. Of course all that would do is make the dollar…
Haha. People just have different drives. I'm definitely a space enthusiast, but also see this as an awesome idea. In the grand scheme of things I think humans will colonize all environments, and starting to master water…
Outside of Biden and Obama (first term only interestingly) deficits were far less. As recently as 2015, it was "only" $442 billion, and generally less than a trillion. USAID's budget was upwards of $50 billion, so…
The problem you have here is differing perspectives on, for instance, current government financial responsibility. The government is currently $36 trillion in debt with that debt growing at an exponential rate. Our…
