Perhaps this is the start of AI hacking in the real world

If you have the book titles/authors I would appreciate it! That sounds really interesting.

I still honestly believe coding should be a requirement in all philosophy courses. A system for layout out logical structures efficiently was something philosophy to this day sorely lacks, with formal logic being practically unreadable. And computer science has literally spent 50 years working on how to do that well.

Yeah but this ain't an iceberg, it's a leak. Gradual improvement CAN fix it as long as people don't panic or give up.

I actually think I disagree with this. Yes it'd be incorrect some of the time, but that is also true of humans. Provided it gets it right most of the time and is reasonably fluent, I don't think that minor errors would matter much.

This seems much more a tool for practicing the stuff you learn in another context to me, rather than a way of learning in itself. You can use it without the social pressure of stumbling slowly through sentences with another person.

Wow, this is so cool! xD I think this is the strongest usecase for AI I've seen so far. I'd love some more details on how you made it - how are you handling the speech to text? It's so clean, I was amazed it could understand my stuttering mess lol.

The classic is rhubarb crumble, a baked dessert typically eaten with custard. It's delightfully sweet and sour, a favourite of mine as a kid.

Some would view the development of megacorps and monopolies a negative, rather than a positive...

Funny, many of the places with the lowest birth rates are actually very socially conservative, with poor track records on gender equality. Japan, Korea, Russia, etc.

I've heard people argue the exact opposite - intense work cultures tire out the male working class. That combined with a gender culture that discourages women being forward with their intentions, and no way to meet people of other genders socially, means it becomes difficult to actually meet or date people. There is a lack of free time, a lack of opportunity, and a lack of motivation.

Frankly, it sounds to me like the issue would be solved by bringing in better working conditions.

I've not heard about that being a big issue here on the first place, and it absolutely doesn't justify the blatant dismantling of our democracy.

They've been gradually pushing fascist laws into place for years, this is just the latest in a long stream. I honestly don't understand why nobody seems more concerned about stuff like this.

It has been argued that YouTube does this in reverse, so probably.

To be honest, I kinda feel AI porn is actually more ethical than the current porn industry. Much like written or drawn porn, it does not rely on the objectification of actual people. Instead it can fill a niche without hurting anyone.

There is the problem of it replacing real jobs, but this is not unique to the field.

The main problem, in my eyes, is AI porn that mimics real people. This is the main place I'd like to see some real restriction.

I will say, autism is super common among trans folk, as is ADHD. There is a high rate of comorbidity between them.

Having said that, I do not believe that it is fair to assume a person who believes themselves trans to be mistaken based purely on a personal hypothetical anecdote.

You can sell your Reddit account? Where and for how much?

I think the entire field of computer programming might be described as various methods of organising and representing logical structures efficiently.

Even if they don't get further than the basic types and user-defined types, that would be enough to make my life dramatically easier. I honestly avoid making stuff in typescript, not because I don't love it, but because setting it up is such a pain in the ass.

If I could avoid that step and still have type annotations and tooling support, I would be a happier person.

This is true, but the only way you're going to fix that problem is to start trying. Expertise can be built, even rebuilt, it's just difficult.

Plus, money DOES allow you to hire outside consultants and teachers.

Decentralising the chip foundries is a necessary step, arguably one that should've been made long ago.

Frameworks shouldn't be changing the content you coded on the sly, that's just asking for trouble. Imagine trying to debug that.

What they protest about does not matter. Removing the ability to protest does.

If you allow them to crack down on protesting, then it won't be long before we're getting black-bagged, and dear old aunty will go on "extended holiday" because she disagreed with the government position.

We've seen it happen many times in the last century, in countries across the world, and the UK has been getting steadily worse over the last 20 years.

The slow creep of authoritarianism has seen many scary laws getting passed and practically no media attention on them. Everyone just shrugs, rather than actually trying to defend our freedom.

I still have nightmarish configuration problems when using ts-node. Deno has definitely made that easier for my personal projects at least.

You can just fry a satellite from the ground, you don't need to blow it up.

Yes, let's solve bike theft by replacing it with murder, that'll surely make the world a better place.

Maybe we could be merciful and just cut off their hands so they can't do it again, I hear that worked just great in the middle ages. I wonder why they stopped?

That is not true. The tech required to maintain long-term living on Mars would be extremely valuable here on earth. It is directly relevant to many of our current goals for more sustainable lifestyles.

Much like the moon missions, the side-effect benefits that it encourages will likely end up making such a mission worthwhile for the tech alone.

I don't understand your criticism of starship though, would you clarify why you think it's not suitable?

From an energy-efficiency perspective, the difference is negligible. Getting out of the gravity well is by far the biggest hurdle. From there you might as well just give it a gentle push over to mars.

It is worth mentioning that there is a survivorship bias inherent to this problem. The older designs that were well made tended to be the one that lasted, and so become the ones we see today, whereas the poor quality old designs already failed.

Okay, but aesthetic design is important. I am very much a part of pride, but I hate having my phone's homescreen totally redesigned at the whim of some dev somewhere. It highlights an already uncomfortable lack of control.

People have the right to make aesthetic choices about the things in their life. I would be pissed if someone came into my house and painted my walls without my permission. Even if I agree with the cause, it's my choice to make.

With you here on this. Telemetry is a really important concern and I get why people don't like it, but fundamentally the expectations on a beta product surely have to be different in that. The thing is still in development. T

If it actually worked, then maybe this would make sense, (though I believe the negative social effects of that approach FAR outweigh the dubious positive). But in a case like this, where it was precisely a LACK of thought that marked it as a crime, it honestly seems absurd to me. It's like prosecuting someone for tripping over their shoelaces in a supermarket.

35.5ppd is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Oculus quest 2, which IIRC is around 22ppd.

I do agree with you though, it is a very desirable way to work. I tried to get Immerse working, but it was just such a buggy mess that I gave up. Hopefully Simula can do it better.

I don't think the spirit of the question was "how do I avoid paying taxes", but more along the lines of "what the hell do I do with all this money I don't need?".

I would suggest giving it to charity, OP. My mother always said even poor folks should be giving at least 15% of their income to charity, but if you have more than you need, no reason not to increase that number.
