Reading computer scientists' takes on psychology or social sciences after taking 1 (one) 101 level class and then reinventing the wheel on topics that have been researched for decades is just grating. Where does this come from? We get it, you like to think a lot, but if you're as smart as claim you would've realized you can't solve a topic by just thinking really hard and long about it alone in your room. Gurwinder Bhogal is one of the other guys repeatedly falling victim to it

In ancient greek punishments, in the Tantalos minigame, the giant deadly boulder hanging above his head, as described in Homer's Odyssey, is missing. but so cool anyways!

Exactly man, we have to change that. Thanks for pointing it out.

If the genders were reversed it would be binned as sexist without any support or regard for context

This is what happened in the comments?

She gave context in the post. Did you read it?

There is an alarm clock on iOS that used to be a 4 USD or something pay once that is now a monthly fee that I still use every day. It records your sleep sounds and wakes you up at a time when you're not in a deep sleep (you set a n minute wakeup window.)

They added ChatGPT and all sorts of other shit to it unfortunately but the core functionality is still good

She's not wrong. There are too many white scientists (statistically) and STEM graduates.

I mean, I get the reason behind it and I honestly don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but the idea of pseudoephedrene sales being monitored like that is so foreign to me. I bought cold medication in pharmacies in 3 different countries always asking specifically for pseudoephedrine and it never occured to me that was a meth cook thing.

What you are saying is technically not wrong, but misleading, as it omits the fact the dams broke due to a natural disaster, Storm Daniel, which previously also "affected Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey with extensive flooding.".

Title should be: "Mexican ufologist shows 2 objects to Congress he claims are alien corpses" or something like that;)

Echoing the kind of climate change scenario 5 year old kids have seems kind of cruel the week thousands of people in Libya died of events that are exasperated by the climate crisis. People are already dying of climate related causes, like crop failures and natural distasters.

I used to be in the same boat until i finally bit the bullet and got a phone without a headphone port, but i wish i didnt have to. I don't like using a dongle, for example its easy to lose them when you detach it from the headphones to plug them into your laptop. Charging headphones seems silly to me, wired is more convenient, you can replace the wires and you're not limited to crappy Bluetooth headphone quality

Then you're going to the wrong concerts. Lil Pump? Maybe. (Not to say anything against hip hop as a genre, but i've seen insta stories and as you say they're just seas of phone screens in the crowd. Disgusting)

At good jazz or alt rock concerts people take their phone out to take a few videos and pictures and then enjoy the rest of the show. For the really good concerts they make you put a sticker on the camera of your phone.

Apple phones are a lot more expensive than android phones of similar specs

Its fine for everybody's needs - unless youre shooting weddings or movies or something no one needs to spend 800+ USD on latest iphone, they can just buy one from a few gens back for less than half of that

I'm in the same boat except that i bought one used. Battery health was also at 83% when i bought it, don't know what its now but lasting a full day so i dont care.

What do you mean "while you still can"? Will they discontinue battery replacements for the 11 at some point? At 80€ its a no brainer once the battery does start to deteriorate more

Only tangentially related, but the new hot shit i recently learned about is "conversational commerce", i.e. services that let companies spam their target markets on messengers like whatsapp in situations like the ones you describe, or when a certain product is back in stock etc..

i think it's an absolutely disgusting invasion of supposedly personal communication spaces. My ex "works" (cold messaging people on linkedin) for a startup that does this and i genuinely don't understand how otherwise lovely amazing people can throw their morals under the bus like that and willingly dedicate 40+ hours of their lives week after week to making the world a shittier place.

Interesting! Without going into personal details, can you explain what sort of incongruence he found between his diary and his memory?

I sometimes keep a diary, for example when I go on long trips that are different from my day-to-day life. I try to be as accurate as possible, but sometimes i notice what i write isn't fully representative of my state of mind at the time, simply because when you're writing stuff down (especially when you're writing with a pen and paper (slow!)), you can never fully capture all the concurrent thoughts and emotions you're experiencing, so its impossible for a diary to be fully accurate. Undoubtedly, e.g. Elizabeth Loftus has done a lot of prominent research in that field, our memories tend to be fallible, but maybe that's part of the reason?

Because human cognition is fundamentally affected and controlled by it's body and its sensorimotor interactions with the environment (read: "Six Views on Embodied Cognition" by Margret Wilson) which LLMs don't have and will never have.

Blobby Volley is the only true tiebreaker! (Also good for passing time while games were installing from disc)

but it's also completely acceptable to walk into a restaurant or store and just ask if you can use theirs.

...same as in Germany

ChatGPT is such a disease. The person you replied to was making a reference to the movie Trainspotting...

Wouldn't be the first time: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/world/europe/elon-musk-uk...

Seems overengineered, i agree the list in its current state is a bit awkward to scroll through but I'd just turn it into a 2xN grid sorted alphabetically.

I asked because as HN doesn't notify users about responses to their comments (right?) it would be more likely that someone else would read my comment and explain it to me, than the original commenter. I was also referencing an old 4chan meme but yeah, in hindsight it's kind of phrased weirdly.

I know you're joking but some people actually think that way and it's so disgusting. No borders no nations no walls

This is America

refuse improve their English

organized through some sort of clustering in vector space.

What did he mean by this?

The Turkish word for bathroom is pronounced like the Spanish one

I'm an asker
