  • Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters,

    It's just life, so keep dancing through

  • I would also mention the Mars trilogy

  • That was fun!

  • Rn me scrolling Lemmy instead of doing work I need to do...

  • Sea salt is actually KCl

  • And there's experiments to run, there is research to be gunned

    1. Can I see some evidence for that, please? Like, a peer reviewed study?

    2. Who was the sample of 'people'?

    3. What is the distinction between different plants? Like, just kitchen fruits and vegetables I'd expect to be much more than 10, unless you group them all in 'drupes', 'fruits', etc

    4. Even if a random distributed sample of modern English speaking people do recognise more logos than plants, that's likely because there's a large advertising industry trying to make it so, whereas plant recognition is learnt in school or home.

  • Honestly when reading the book I imagined them all as blank sticks. Maybe that's just me, but nothing seemed to suggest they had fancy handles or anything.

  • That's why HPMoR felt like a breath of fresh air to me, he's actually intelligent in it, even if it's only fanfiction.

  • It's not a religious belief, lol. It actually makes sense, if you understand AI. If you don't, you could try watching the YouTube channel Robert Miles to learn more about the science of this.

  • AI techbro? Eliezer Yudkowsky is an AI Safety expert, and I don't know his opinions related to other non-AI things

  • I don't see why not. Separate the art from the artist, including not giving the artist money (eg pirating the media)

  • I think she actually believes trans people are a danger to society, that's the only way that makes sense with her actions. It's sad though. I'm not sure if we can convince her otherwise, she seems quite entrenched. If we could though, she could be quite an influential advocate for trans rights.

  • This community isn't about JK Rowling, it's about Harry Potter. That's what I came here to see. If it turns into just a JK Rowling dunk fest, I'll unsubscribe.

  • Omg, can you stop with this? I want to be able to enjoy the series without constantly people reminding me how bad the author is. I know. I'm not giving her money.

    Anyway, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, His Dark Materials, Percy Jackson

  • JK Rowling is a horrible person, but is this community just turning into a 'dunk on JK Rowling' community?

  • Actually, it's a bumpy oblate spheroid. And I'm not a 'he'

  • By design, they don't know how they work. It's interesting to see this experimentally proven, but it was already known. In the same way the predictive text function on your phone keyboard doesn't know how it works.

  • There's always something further east, the Earth is a sphere. California is to the east of new Zealand. The IDL is arbitrary

    If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?
