As long as we're introspecting, and being on the watch for influence campaigns, it may be instructive to scan the article for the use of `/(center[ -])?(left|right)([ -](wing|leaning))?/` designations.
I think you just answered your own question.
Nicely, it also filters out humans that lack a certain ability to reflect.
This is not my field, but I'm...social adjacent? and my understanding is that we grow big crystals of silicon because that's the mature technology, but then there are multiple cutting & polishing steps that add to the…
Space. They are more resilient to radiation, faster, don't generate as much heat and are more tolerant of heat. That pretty much tells you where they're going to be used.
That was ten years ago. Today, lab grown diamonds are cheaper than natural at any size or quality, which is why the diamond cartels are sh*tting little bricks that are almost as hard.
And the convert energy into fertilizer glitch.
Bingo, we have a winner!
Or maybe...they just aren't actually "smarter or somehow more capable"? It seems like the more parsimonious explanation.
Every humpback whale is related to every giant sequoia through a chain of intermediaries as similar as a mother and child (proof: go up via mothers to the first eukaryote, then back down). That doesn't mean you can…
Some AI brainworm that eats AI, obviously.
My best guess (rot13, to avoid spoilers) is xvjv & obbol?
> This is not a reasonable take in 2026. I think it is. Why is it that the only people in any field I'm aware of that think the AI output in their field is high quality are either the ones that are carefully crafting…
Hard disagree. If we send someone out exploring and they discover something (maybe?) but their account of their journey is impossible for anyone else to follow and contains obvious hallucinations, what have we gained?
Or, just maybe, they share a key property with the mounds of popular writing, journalism and random internet accretions they were trained on: they seem total rubbish on anything you know about deeply, but brilliant on…
Yes, but if they're worried about competition (or liabilities for past and ongoing transgressions, or both) catching up with them and wanted the government to step in and save them from themselves by regulating the…
NO. Most definitely not. Nor am I advocating any sort of gatekeeping. My entire point is that there is a legitimate perspective, held by real people, from which the "strip mining" analogy is perfectly apt. There were…
So... no? The paper shows the motors used in the printer, and some of the parts it produced, but not the actual actuator it made.
1) I never said the problem was effort; I was trying to explain the strip mining analogy, and it's one of the two anchors that make the analogy work. 2) Mathematicians didn't create this economy; it was foisted upon…
Strip mining is very apt if you view the economics of the present system as "effort -> recognition -> career advancement". Even in strip mining, the resources that had been buried are now available for use in the…
1) With proven technology, nuclear is "practically infinite" in the same sense (available fuel will out-last the sun, even at 10x current energy usage). 2) The "residual heat" is long gone, and my whole point here was…
Plagiarism as a Service. We can all try really hard to pretend that's not the business model, but that's totally the business model.
I sometimes think the average layperson (in the US at least) would assume that the main alternative to a magnet was called a woknet.
Was this known as the "Lunar Terminator Paradox" or called that anywhere before this article? So far as I can tell this seems to be entirely made up and the only references I can find are to TFA or related. As others…
We could go out in the world, have experiences, cogitate upon them, learn to write well, and then do so? It ain't easy, but that's the way it used to be done.
