Put your home address in the comments. Problem solved.

Written communication serves separable purposes:

* Replicating speech, Archiving speech, and separating the acts of speaking and listening from each other. There are alternatives to written format.

* Speech that can be edited easily, until it is perfected.

* Speech that be sped up, slowed down, and jumped around with random access and search.

* Silent speech.

These features can be achieved with alternative technologies.

Written communication also has drawbacks. It is a lossy compression of spoken speech.

The train paths are drawn on a 2D layer above the buildings, not at z-index that matches the proper 3-D position. So the paths appear to weave around and over the tops of buildings.

A PhD is a doctor of philosophy. Science is a natural philosophy.

Philosophy is a broad, vague category.

> Search all government auctions in one place, *know what they're worth before you bid*

So the blog post contradicts the entire premise of the site.

This is just an ad for their valuation service.

An option to disable animation and show the paper links in a simple list would be helpful.

It's amazing that business would tolerate paying staff to build products on one person's prototype hobby language.

"wrong" or "random" is not the same as "fiction"

"non-fiction" doesn't mean "correct".

arXiv enables peer review!

arXiv users are the peers doing the review.

"Peer review" has existed for centuries before journals created their own bad for-profit version.

Your comment is not responsive to the comment you replied to, which was a critique of point 19.

Have you tried reading the news?

Perhaps the shoplifters are less iportant to the surveillance state than the people protesting government abuse and getting chased around the country to their workplaces and vacation hotels?

The ads are getting shoved regardless. The content of the ads are based on personalization data.

Google doesn't make money from you "paying a cent". They make money from you paying advertisers who pay Google. So the relevant metric is how much you spent on Google advertisers.

Geometry pictures are absolutely not "rigorous definitions". For 1 thing, pictures of lines aren't finite in extent, and pictures of points are finite in extent.

Some of Euclid's proofs are wrong, because they relied on those non-rigorous picture definitions.

* Book I, Proposition 1 (constructing an equilateral triangle)

* Book I, Proposition 4 (Side-Angle-Side triangle congruence).

* Multiple theorems throughout the Elements rely on the visual "betweenness" of points.

Words are like atoms. We also have sentences (molecules) and paragraphs (structures) and more. Complexity matters.

Please define "conscious".

Please give an example of an interaction with an animal that suggests that the animal is conscious, but not using language.

Challenge round: Please demonstrate that conscious animals are not using internal idiolect (language with 1 user) and lack the physical ability to develop a form of shared communication for that language.

Congress should end the AMA guild's chokehold on linking "Medicare" to medical training at all. It's a complete grift.

How can you tell when you are reading a paper?

Were you first-author on an unsupervised project and paper, or did someone stake their reputation on your work?

Publishing a study does not show "a foundational understanding of statistical methods and to be able to critique studies." It's literally the opposite!

Residency is a guild (aka, anticompetitive trust) designed to limit the medical workforce and drive up doctor salaries. It needs artificial metrics to ratonalize the increasing salaries as being for "increasing talent".

That's not true. Islamic finance forbids indefinitely growing interest. Sharia finance agreements involve fixed fees or equity shares. Late penalties can be collected but must be donated, not profit. In all cases, the borrower never owes to the lender for the lender to keep more an a fixed amount determined at the strat.

and Chinese courts are ruling that using Claude is fair use.

It was already digitized. He wanted to make a version without security and privacy protections.

He also copied Friendster.

Insane how? Google had already done it, and it's pretty clear that if someone wants to buy for $1B, it might be worth more than $1B.

2017 was shortly before Google stopped being afraid of being pegged as an AI killbot company.

Most human tasks. Earth-movers and mining-trucks aren't human form.

AI watching videos of humans seems an incredibly inefficient way to solve acrobatic balance. It is just physics and engineering. The hard part is in the materials and assemblages for enabling complex and subtle movements and the fine motor control, not knowing what the motions are.

The insane valuation is for Elon meme vibes and the "vision" of "colonizing Mars", not any of the products.

A content-free 2nd "paragraph" like this turned me off immediately.

> But in the current dev tools gold rush, if something sounds too good to be true, it almost always is.

The people who are interested in RTK and in criticism of RTK aren't interested in pablum like this.
