If lack of resources would inevitably make a greater culture why not just wait until we run low on resources here on earth? Kind of sounds like a self solving problem. But if material success degenerates culture like you say then wouldn't the success of the space colony create its own future greedy culture? Hard Times --> Strong People --> Good Times --> Weak People --> Hard Times

>Programming computers and being good at math does not prepare you at all for understanding this stuff! Watson and Crick were not math savants. They did not have natural gifts.

Out of all the hn chauvinism I've read over the years this post is a strong contender for the most absurdly delusional. Sorry, being able to program does not make you an ubermensch.

> I thought about learning chess and what it actually involes when i watched the new netflix show.

>i came to the relisation that it actually involes becoming good in a very very big search space by having a lot of experience and being fast in calculating and remembering chess moves.

I wish I was this confident. Remembering chess moves, why didn't I think of that?

Its worth mentioning that there are other desirable traits in a system besides efficiency. Robustness in the event of failure is useful with planes and automobiles even though it adds weight and makes them less fuel efficient. Similarly with government policy it might make sense to opt for a less efficient but more resilient or some qualitative attribute like more freedom of choice. This would be particularly true in a society where a basic income was needed because presumably society would already be extremely efficient at producing goods and services such that the demand for human labor is far smaller than the supply. I'm not sure if I'm pro basic income or not but I wish more discussion would go into what a healthy set of societal characteristics would look like before discussing how to get there.

American Football is actually based on the delineation between sports played on horseback and on foot. So maybe it is an antiquated distinction but it makes sense. Maybe we can rename it infantryball.

GPT will also code for you.

So not a founder?

You use the 2000 dollar one? Is it possible to get a rough but working measurement device for around 100 dollars?

Why don't you think gpt 4 will be as impressive.

If you look at the paper doesn't it scale well across many different metrics?

I find simulated and remote fans to be mildly distasteful for reaaons that I find hard to articulate. I suppose it has to do with notions of authenticity. One of the reasons I enjoyed the NBA summer league is that you can hear the players and ambient noises of the gym so much better and it created an interested experience that is different than a normal crowded stadium. Why not just have a distinct moment in sports where things are genuinely different due to outside circumstances rather than pretend like things are the same?

The expression with respect to sports and thinking: "If you're thinking you're sinking." Has anyone on this site ever actually played a sport long enough to get good at it? Being good at most time sensitive tasks involves entering a flow state. You aren't thinking in the traditional sense.

Definitely didn't cover COINTELPRO but the Philippines and Wounded Knee were definitely covered. We rarely got past 1960 so most of the more recent US actions were uncovered.

Perhaps I've been fooled. I assumed the priming was also just casual nlp.

What if it's a good question?

Isn't that the exciting part? That your average literate person can do things that only a programmer could do previously.

For me it would have to be 4-6-4-10

Maybe it could be rephrased to:

>However, V8 uses an environment of a single thread for all of Javascript's execution contexts.

Also maybe more leisurely in terms of pace.

Depending on the subject it could take years to understand everything that goes into an explanation to make sure you didn't miss anything. At some point you have to assume certain things are true for the sake of argument.

Fit can also mean a convulsion or spasm, a coughing fit. So fitful is a period full of fits. Hope that helps.

One of the harder things to learn because it isn't formulaic. You can't copy someone else's mannerisms outright you have to find your own style.

Is there a formal study available that examines the tradeoffs of google vs a search engine like ddg?

Which is not directly related to whether or not there is a baby boom.

What is your maps desktop application?

So there is a 29 percent homology between their respective fusion proteins. So you would have to hope that an antigen binding site is somewhere in the conserved region?

Why would you know that the sun is the same as the stars?

Maybe a difference in perceived career expectations

Sorry meant to say resource rich. Its hard to overstate how few resources japan has at its disposal. This caused their aggression during WWII. China has some resources just far fewer than their population plus they are attempting to export their way to affluence which means they are also producing the world's goods, not just goods for the population of china. China is definitely not resource rich but better off than japan in that way.
