my intelligence is not good at many things. worse than AI, my intelligence is not good at the things it's creators designed it for. I can't explain why i work this way either. I just know that some tasks i gravitate to, and others i just don't care about. Sorry dad. I like skateboarding. I'd rather do that than play tennis.

I feel like the main source of the problems on Earth is too many people. If we look at colonizing mars as shipping a bunch of people off of Earth, we ARE addressing local problems.

The value of TSLA or any other stock has never been dictated by how much money the company has. A crypto crash could cause the company to have less in the bank, but if the world thinks TSLA is awesome still, the company retains it's value.

I too was disappointed by this. However, i have, and continue to use my apple watch for swimming (miles in both pools and open water) and surfing. No problems yet after years of doing this.

I suspect the watches are capable of more than the minimum to meet the WR50 standard, but apple only goes after the minimum standard to cut down on warranty claims from people who would take it scuba diving and stuff.

yeah. i don't really see anything wrong with this. I've seen plenty of say civil war documentaries where voice actors will read correspondence from the war. I've never felt like i was being tricked. i've never stopped and thought, "wait a minute! that guy never said that!"

If i think about it, the actor has the ability to insert emotion into some text in such a way to convey meaning that actually wasn't there when Lincoln, or Sherman, or whatever guy on the front lines originally wrote the letter. Is that deception?? maybe in the wrong hands, but newsflash, the ability to manipulate your viewer through careful media production already exists and is plenty effective. That doesn't mean we shut down all production.

I think voice narration of written documents is worthwhile to help communicate that this isn't just text on a paper, these are the thoughts of a human that existed. Human speakers are fine. this tech seems fine and could be really powerful. If Ken Burns wants to do it, so be it.

It's not like he was pretending to be something. He billed himself as a writer who wants to be a rockstar who used to cook. People just liked that.

how do you feel about disney world's hall of presidents?

the calculator wouldn't let you spell boobies (unless you were careful to trick the accelerometer into thinking it wasn't upside down). if you had 8008 anywhere in the readout it would clear the screen when inverted. eventually they picked a font that just doesn't come across as letters.

Your way of giving exams seems to be more in line of what "the real world" is like. In my professional experience, nobody expects that i will not resort to looking up the answers. Do i need to know what some method signature is? i look it up. Do i need to know the steps in some algorithm? i look it up. I am constantly looking at other people's solutions for the problem i'm working on. I am constantly referring to resources and asking other people for the "answers" in the real world.

That article you linked says that the conclusion that children who passed the marshmallow test will go on to be more successful later in life is rubbish. I agree with what it says.

It doesn't say that the conclusion that the test indicates some complex thought processes is wrong. Nobody seems to be claiming that the cuttlefish who pass their version of the marshmallow test will go on to make six figures or anything. Just that they are clever. That seems in line with other anecdotal evidence about cuttlefish.

this is the correct response.

What video game is contributing to stealing french bulldogs at gunpoint?

nano fresnel lens is also what i thought.

It seems the only one i can trust is this Nigerian prince who contacted me.

I remember installing the bitcoin software on my desktop way back when. I thought it was going to be another one of those seti at home type things where my machine dutifully ticked away at some huge dataset and i could periodically look at it to see some number grow.

like seti at home, i lost interest. I wanted my cycles back for diablo II or something. I kept some txt files around for a while with my btc on it, then, eventually lost track of that disk. C'est la vie. it's kind of fun to think of how many millions i've lost. It's not like missing out on millions isn't a regular occurrence in my life now. there was that .com stock that suddenly dried up too.
