Other comments are wrong, its complicated residual structures on tv/movies.

You can probably throw together a pretty simple wordpress website without much knowledge. Just keep it mostly out of the box, maybe change the theme.

You know cans are just plastic sacs using the tin/aluminum for structure right?

I’m not saying AI can’t be disruptive. I’m saying we aren’t there. The steady progress you think you are seeing is bought with increased processing power, the science isn’t advancing steadily, it advances in unpredictable jumps. Because the performance gained with processing power is reaching its peak, we’ll need at least another one of those unpredictable jumps for it to get to a state that will do what the comment I was responding to was claiming. It could be another 50 years before that happens, or it could be tomorrow.

The current AI boom is all based on a single paper from about 7 years ago, and has been achieved by just throwing more and more computing power at it. There has been basically no meaningful architecture improvements in that time and we are already seeing substantial fall off from throwing more power at the problem. I don’t think its a given at all that we are close to the kind of disruption you are predicting.

Science tells us how to achieve objectives, democracy what our objectives should be. (obviously this doesn’t always work perfectly in practice).

Yes it is. In any rectangle, by definition the diagonal cross section will always be longer than the longest side. Therefore given that this is a relatively 2d shape in 3 dimensional space, it will be able to pass through the hole.

volunteer mods allow things like The Donald to exist.

Its basically also the past right? RSS feeds.

But is it actually a double standard or a mirage? Its entirely possible for different responses to be justified given different underlying conditions.

The nature of quantum interactions being probabilistic could be some resource saving mechanism in a higher order simulation.

According to this graph, most people. graph

If it succeeds, apple will pave the way, and then other options will emerge much like has happened with smartphones. There will be some FOSS version perfectly capable of blocking ads.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’ve been in large groups and texted with the person I was sitting next to.

While I agree there is a bright line between the two, especially when it comes to something that’s going to be televised, there is a bunch of relatively shady shit that happens lower on in the process to bad records and etc. For instance, there are boxers with hundreds of loses, where there is an unspoken agreement that they are always going to lose while making it look like a fight, if not a great one.

Wearing socks two days in a row is insane behaviour. Depending on the day, I might go through multiple pairs.

EVs are much better for the environment than ICE vehicles. Mass transportation is much better still.

Bing and Bing based searches have also gotten worse. The study in question actually says they preform worse than google. Its all Goodhart’s law in action.
