Horses for courses...

If the game in the article captures what these are about, it didn't do anything for me. Interesting to read, though.

I've enjoyed some games that have a cozy vibe while actually presenting me with puzzles to solve. Monument Valley for example.

I suspect it goes deeper than language even. We have associative memories, right? Given our learning, modelling, pigeonholing of the world along with our changing bodies, our older selves are unlikely to experience anything close enough to what our younger selves experienced to trigger that association and recall the memory.

Yes. As the saying goes, If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be research. Finished papers often have flaws, if you try to write something perfect you may never finish it. They're called limitations and you list them in conclusions and suggest addressing in future work.

(Experience check: I is one)

Exactly

For example, 2001 was a great movie but Clarke's worst book imo because he collaborated with Kubrick to write it for for big screen.

Not without its issues but it also prominently featured the mentats, which the recent version didn't.

I like Bayes, but I thought the "surprising" result is that double descent is supposed to prevent nns from overfitting?

I've since changed my opinion on what I said above. It sounds like they are complying in the short term to maintain their right to challenge this in the Indian courts, which actually seems like a good strategy.

I can't say I understand the rest of your comment, without more detail on which people (presumably not all 1.5 billion) are disagreeing with what coverage (presumably not all of it), etc.

This is a really good comment thread and got me thinking.

However here in the UK I'm not sure your point about virtual subsidy quite computes. Most of the free to use parking in valuable areas is street parking outside homes. Seeing as housing costs are just a big sponge that absorbs any surplus productivity, I suspect if people had to rent or buy those parking spaces to use them then you would see a corresponding drop in house prices/rents.

I'm all for this sort of experiment and wish them the best with it.

Just gonna leave this line here though:

We’ve had to cap the number of reviewers on each article at seven, because that’s what our software can handle.

Maybe I can get an article published on 4 bit arithmetic? It'll be a significant breakthrough.
