It appears to me that these artists aren't actually naive - they have been artists for their entire lifetime and few who know a lot about art think that formal training is required for skill or understanding in art. It…
Fb is clearly hated by its owners, Meta. Its been monitized to the max and deeply neglected. They desperately want to move on to virtual reality or AI - ANYTHING to escape from having to make their money off fb. Makes…
Wow! Thank you very much for finding them for me!! I'm really greatful. I'm downloading them now. Whew. 377 mb pdf - that's a big one.
One thing I would like to read is the history of the House of Brunswick he was supposed to be writing for much of his career. According to another website: "In the end, Leibniz was never able to complete the history,…
I see what you mean, but I've written a fair number of wikipedia articles at the behest of professors who are experts in their fields and were annoyed that X person wasn't mentioned. The articles were eventually…
"It's amazing that anybody creates Wikpedia articles at all" Yeh. This is why I stopped editing wikipedia very often. They are maniacal about deleting things that I consider noteworthy but others don't. I still love…
Anyone have any favorite ai suggestions? I am never sure which ones are too easy, too hard or simply crash all the time.
You don't belive parents generally protect and nurture their children? For most of human history there were few, if any, laws governing how children were raised yet civilization didn't collapse because of that, and,…
I guess I was thinking of the samurai as being part of the permanant overclass. You mentioned that of old aristocracy provided officers for the military, so I thought that was analogious to the samurai. Perhaps I…
Yeah. This guy didn't read hacker news a few weeks ago when that article about the Samuri came up. There are a lot of premises this article takes for granted besides that one too, but yeah, I get it, its fun to make up…
I don't understand why the act of buying internet access isn't considered a parental control. I doubt very many kids are doing it or can. Ok, but parents buy internet access and then let their kids use it, because the…
Oh yeah, good point. Gun deaths each year amount to like 15 x the twin towers attacks deaths. I'm sure deaths from our terrible unaffordable healthcare system are way higher, but we spent our healthcare money on…
It was a crazy time, not in the danger from hijackings but the enormous amount of fear and cowardice America built up within itself. It was crazy because of the mass hysteria not the violence. Take this example: 1.2…
That's true. It seems like those states where its mandatory and free are going the right way. No doubt stuff like this will be more and more important with AI making it so easy to fake other stuff.
Fee waivers are great. A lot of poor parents are too busy / don't have their shit together enough to learn about them & use them. A lot of poor parents won't even have their kids take the tests at all even if they are…
I did very well with my SAT but to get to the city we had to take it was a 2 hour long drive through twisted roads that made me carsick. I lived in a small town far away from the city. By the time I got there my…
I love how this article has 3 sentences and then stops to quote the first two sentences. Also peppered with a lot of bad, redundant writing: "That’s the shape I’m watching for. That’s the shape I think wins." - those…
From what I could tell a man was stabbed, didn't die, a minor event that happens every day in cities everywhere and always has - and then the locals decided to have a pogrom.
I recently talked to a brit who expressed their fear of... knives. It blew my mind. The UK has one of the lowest murder rates in the world, 5 times less than the US, but they're so incredibly afraid. They are just plain…
I'm sure when this law goes through they won't stop and will shortly be lining up some even crazier surviellance tech. I'm thinking something that automatically scans your computer for porn or other things, like ripped…
Yeah, although I suspect the study isn't taking account major economic factors involving ai and remote work jobs - the fact is society is built around jobs you commute to and it takes a little bit of time for society to…
One of my favorite dynamics: Warrior class that really kicks butt, takes control over the state and then slowly becomes obsolete but is so embedded in the social structure that it just sticks around sucking up vast…
I still do, honestly.
Scout sounds like an excitable little dog that runs headlong into trees when trying to catch a frisbee. Given Microsoft's long history of failure with personal assistants I'm looking forward to this one! Clippy,…
That could be. I'm thinking of the Chu–Han Contention and the Warlord Era in China as times that it was probably the case - In both cases goverment control collapsed and there was not just one rebellion but a whole…
