I asked why OP is dismissing the possibility that the authors considered the specific factors OP mentioned. The quote you posted did not address that question. That is why it is not related to my comment, like I already…
LOL, what are you talking about? I asked why OP had such a dismissive attitude towards the original paper, and that's "researcher worship"? Gotta be one of the most toxic responses I've gotten so far on HN.
What gave you the idea that I was making a scientific argument?
The quote you copy-pasted from the article has nothing to do with my comment.
So you were able to think of a couple confounding factors off the top of your head, but you dismiss the idea that the researchers had considered those factors and controlled for it? Despite the fact that their full time…
With no disrespect to Dabney, but these kinds of obituaries make HN kind of morbid in my opinion.
I'm satisfied with Cinnamon. If any dev happens to read this: thank you and keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
> what's gravity got to do with it? Gravity got the following to do with it: Lower gravity makes it easier for the atmosphere to escape to space, especially since Mars has a very weak magnetosphere. Second, to have a…
> If we nuked the polar ice caps (or similar method to warm + evaporate them) it would generate enough of an atmosphere for the external pressure to be livable - maybe even breathable. Source? Even granted that would be…
You can't really terraform Mars either, not enough gravity. And even if it was possible, the amount of work required to bring the air there is orders of magnitude more than simply building domes over some select craters…
Why don't they just write the network stack in Rust? Then we would know it's secure with no audit required.
I meant the effects of fever, so that perhaps different parts of the brain was affected differently by the temperature increase. I really have no idea, but I was saying that it is not an obvious fact either way.
I'm not saying that filtration theory is false, I'm saying it seems less likely to me than the following alternative: The chemical composition of a sober persons brain causes us to have the usual experience, but taking…
No hadn't seen it.
I agree that fever and lack of sleep can produce hallucinations, but I'm not convinced that they are non-localized effects in the brain, nor that psychedelic chemicals are non-localized in the brain.
The problem is the theory implies that people with brain damage should experience psychological effects similar to those induced by psychedelic drugs, and we don't see anything like that.
Why not?
> Furthermore even though these lasers are very cheap, by army norms, to fire, they're still 600$ or so for a single shot. So shooting down drones will be expensive. Far more expensive than the drones themselves. What…
I hope you're right.
So somewhat less likely then.
I wonder what the odds are we would be seeing articles like this if Philip's apparent bias ran in the other direction.
Yes it's fantastic. Now if we only could ride the momentum of this and slam something equally as punishing on Facebook, then we could be heading towards a renewed golden age of the internet.
I'm so so sorry that my right to privacy is inconvenient for you.
> So I think you're entirely wrong to say that something that is part of a causal chain cannot be called free. Yes you can call it free since you have defined free to mean acting according to your motivations, just like…
Describe the subjective process by which you decided whether to get up. Probably you just felt like it, or were coerced by your bladder. If you had a reason, then your actions are a product of that reason, which itself…
