codegladiator··on Archaeologists found an ancient Egyptian observatory
> Reproduction of papers is an academic issue but your claim is at the very least hyperbolic

What % of population today can actually understand let alone reproduce the papers being published today. And this is not just about practicality of it. Is there a motivation to even reproduce it ?

I am not saying "science is bad". I am saying science has the same fate as religion.

codegladiator··on Archaeologists found an ancient Egyptian observatory
The scientists of today are the priests of tomorrow.

The only reason we don't use "religious" method is because science has taught us to only believe "data backed evidence". Also at the same time we are moving fast into the era where reproduction of most "papers" being published today is hard and unlikely if not impossible.

That "day-to-day" people neither read science papers in depth nor religious scriptures in depth is a common problem as well.

codegladiator··on Ask HN: How can I learn to "talk a lot and say nothing"?
> It's like they have a built-in LLM

and an LLM can tell you how to do it

Strategies:

    Practice Storytelling:
        Incorporate anecdotes, metaphors, and analogies into your conversations. This makes your communication more engaging and less direct.
        Example: Instead of saying "We need to increase our sales," you could say, "Imagine our company as a ship; to stay afloat, we need to navigate towards higher sales."

    Use Fillers and Connectors:
        Use phrases like "as you know," "in other words," "basically," and "to put it simply." These help to extend your speech without necessarily adding new information.
        Example: "As you know, our goal is to improve efficiency. Basically, this means we'll need to streamline our processes."

    Focus on Emotional Appeal:
        Use words that evoke emotions rather than just conveying facts. Express enthusiasm, concern, optimism, or caution depending on the context.
        Example: "I'm really excited about this new project because it has the potential to revolutionize our approach."

    Reiterate and Rephrase:
        Repeat key points in different ways to emphasize your message without adding new content.
        Example: "The main objective is to boost productivity. In other words, we need to find ways to work smarter, not harder."

    Ask Rhetorical Questions:
        Pose questions that don't necessarily need answers but keep the audience engaged and thinking.
        Example: "What does this mean for us? It means we have an opportunity to grow."
Resources:

    Books:
        "Talk Like TED" by Carmine Gallo: This book offers insights into how to present ideas effectively and engage audiences, inspired by TED Talks.

        "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie: Although more focused on interpersonal skills, this classic book provides valuable advice on persuasive communication.

No, they want to be seen taking it seriously, so they say that they take it very seriously. But if you will actually audit their system you will find they do not in reality and it was just a negotiation tactic.

    The Echoes of Creativity: Might there be a muse, hidden within the circuits, to awaken the dormant artist within us, translating abstract thought into tangible creation?

    The Illusions of Health: Is there an oracle that can foresee the whispers of our bodies, foretelling imbalances and guiding us towards harmony?

    The Maze of Knowledge: Could a digital sage reveal the hidden patterns in our quest for wisdom, lighting the way through the dense forest of information?
codegladiator··on Android's theft protection features
> Factory reset upgrade prevents a reset by a thief. For some criminals, the goal is to quickly reset your stolen device and resell it. We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection. With this upgrade, if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials. This renders a stolen device unsellable, reducing incentives for phone theft.

You are not "asking" chatgpt and there is no answer, and this is the basis for all confusion.

You are transforming text using a text transformer. You have input text and output text.

You are asking why is this output text not the what you expected. That is because this particular transformer has said weights.
