Ah, you're right. Sorry for the noise. I'll delete my nonsense.

Is that wind speed in m/s ? I'm used to km/h, but I guess m/s is more metric pure. And those -131 degrees make a good day for liquefying natural gas, they only have to cool it -30 degrees more and load it in some tanker (or those new submarines they're allegedly building)

If you can't tell from which external source, or in which way or what effect will each input have, it's hard to believe they come form external sources. There is no shortage of examples of people growing in similar environments and developing different characters. For me it's easier to believe...

If all behavioural traits were attributable to external influence, education would be an exact science. Some traits might be, some not, and there's no certainty about which or how. The closest form of external influence suppressing natural traits and turning people to machines is military...

Thanks, and sorry if I disturrbed your sleep. I think IQ tests have some value, but it's little value. IQ tests need constant adaptation to change of human skills, and are limited to somehow measuring human intelligence. I don't think they apply to non humans. So it's somewhat silly to measure...

Intelligence doesn't exist. Let alone super intelligence. People talk of intelligence as if it was an skill of someone or a property of something. But intelligence is more like beauty. One person may like someone and another person dislike them, or someone will enjoy a work of art that others...

Not sure we all thought it was easy. But we didn't think we'd cheat at the Turing test: humans have lost so much in skills, that computers have it easier to outperform humans. I don't know. The micro might be cheap, but the model, and the electricity to train it (and to a lesser extent, run...

Oops. Sorry for my brain fart. Updated the original with the slashdot link

I used to despise AI hype so confidently... Too uncertain results, too little QA, too much hardware and energy required, and therefore too centralised and cloudy. No thanks... But then, news about a killer app come by and my resolve shatters. AI against phone scammers.

Congratulations and best wishes.

That's just one interpretation. The other interpretation is that marrying is going to hell (on earth). So it's better to just hold hands and never marry. In "holding hands before marriage" the problem does not have to be holding hands, the problem might be marriage. In any case: don't point.

Don't point! We've always told you at home that marriage is hell, indeed, but you don't know for sure they're going to marry just because you see them holding hands!

I don't even remember how did USA participate in WWI, if at all. By selling weapons ? I don't remember. In any case I don't think they started it. And the USA did not start WWII either, there might have been some individuals in the USA helping the nazis just before the war, but that's not the...

That's just the Taliban looking for a job in the new Trump's cabinet.

No? They're effectively doing that survey for the preorderers they can serve. If you survey others, they might change their mind by the time their Pyras are ready, so why bother? People may want something now and something else later. If you don't have a date to tell them they can get X at time...

And where did you get Lincoln's public key from, to check his signature ?

It's quite complicated. I don't think democrats could have done much better with another candidate. They should possibly have thought of it much earlier and prepare a good candidate (or 2 or 3) for years. But the thing is Trump is pretending to be anti-system (despite his biography) to lure...

The question, apparently, is do North Koreans on military duty in Russia have internet access? Well, some journalist suspect they do, and they know what to do with it, so to fact check whatever their sources, they asked USA intelligence whether North Koreans in Russia are watching porn like they...

I thank you for your implied compliment, but I think we Europeans are stupid enough to vote fascists even if Harris had won. In fact it's already a trend and there was Biden in the USA.
