I think I'll have an alpha/beta testing period with interested volunteers. Then hopefully sell it. Then after some years and waning interest, probably open source it.
I am making a game. I use Vim (infinitely faster and more product than other text editors) and write a single command in my terminal to compile. Vim makes a lot of sense when you want to work fast and don't want bloated…
No. The onus is on you to explain why experts who have devoted their entire lives to groundbreaking vaccine research are wrong. It's like arguing with a 5 year old.
I'm not going to explain how clinical trials work and why you should trust that process. Again, bad situations do not invalidate all work being done in a field.
"So much faith"? People are just following the science. Are you really arguing that because one bad situation has occurred involving pharmaceutical companies, we should assume every new drug or treatment is bogus or…
It'll be dead within 18-24 months.
First of all, I don't "hypothesize" anything - I am just pointing out what seems to be the obvious answer to "what happens when you die?". When the brain is damaged or undergoes chemical changes, we know that…
lmao - "I can't understand why non-religious people are afraid of death except for literally all of the most obvious reasons that they should be". It's baffling that people say they "don't understand" the fear of…
I'm skeptical that any of those things actually "prepare" people to face death in the first place. Feeling like you're "prepared" weeks, months, or years before the final hours of your self or a loved one does not…
Exactly. Even if you try to make the decision ahead of time with a sound mind, where do you draw the line? And even if the line is drawn, what happens if you change your mind later but you're in the late stages? Which…
You don't seem to understand the actual problems with screening. Try learning about the field before implying the FDA isn't doing their job: https://www.bmj.com/content/352/bmj.h6080
There is a huge misconception about the value of screening in the general population. It doesn't do what most people think it does. Even with emotional adjustment it is entirely unclear that screening for things like…
People were fooled by hype, a usual occurrence with new "AI" technology. That says nothing about how "revolutionary" it is.
What on Earth are you talking about? The point was not that anything humans can do within 90 seconds is non-revolutionary when implemented in machines. An artist can create something unique and beautiful in 90 seconds,…
It "feels revolutionary" to the author, but it is literally only capable of handling the simplest restaurant and hair salon reservations (the kind of thing you could do yourself in about 90 seconds). Seems like a silly…
Yes - the FDA is (surprisingly?) receptive and psilocybin (among others) could be approved in the next few years, maybe up to a decade depending on results. https://www.nature.com/news/psychedelic-compound-in-ecstasy-...
It is entirely unremarkable that people should put "feeling" in italics in order to emphasize it, because it is precisely the thing gets handwavy non-explanations (like yours) from people who refuse to acknowledge the…
Well it's not AI or ML really - it's hand-picked algorithmic composition with additional contributions from human composers. The holy grail AI composer would be able to generate unique, creative, well-crafted material…
It's not "convincing" and there is no sense of "style change" at all - it's very clearly just awkwardly re-orchestrating the melody with some timbral changes. The tonality is often entirely lost (the Rihanna to Mozart…
As a professional arranger and composer, I can confirm that this is indeed unconvincing and disappointing (although I will admit to being mildly impressed by some of the generated orchestra textures, but only because…
Presumably the person you replied to is including the potential takeover of nuclear weapons by terrorist hackers, etc.
You seem to miss the point with every response to your original comment. You keep saying things about the importance of things that can't be perceived. No one is suggesting that things don't "make a difference to us" if…
It is categorically different. If your memories of 1000 years ago gradually fade away, only that old version of you is "gone" (in present experiential sense). You and your family and friends have known you as a…
Yes it's huge problem to face, but I never understood this response to immortality/transhumanism. The alternative is, as far as we know, eternal oblivion for you and everyone you love. That, as opposed to using our…
Sure, but you have to balance the potential bad with the fact that humans have an inborn drive to continue existing, and that death has profoundly negative effects that induce unnecessary suffering. If Jeff Bezos was…
