- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 2 weeks ago:
The other part of it is there’s not only one monkey who does Hamlet correct on the first attempt, there’s two, three four, guess what - an infinite amount of them.
And another infinity that get it right after 5 minutes
Another infinity that take exactly 10 years 3 months 2 days 3 hours 4 minutes and 17 seconds
And another infinity that takes one second less than the life of the universe
And another infinity that takes a googleplex of the lifetime of the universe to complete
that’s the point of the thought experiment

- Comment on AI Summary 2 weeks ago:
I used it (some android version of it popped up) when driving to an eventthe other day and the other people were texting as I was on my way. It tried to summarize the entire 9-month conversation not just new messages, and it thought the group chat name - “Bilbo Baggins My Balls” - was just one person talking to me, so it was complete nonsense that completely distracted me while driving. AI strikes again.

if the instrument is that different to the politician why do they both tongue A minor but struggle to hit the double Ds consistently?

I’ve worked hard in my adult life to stop chewing or putting things in my mouth, but for some reason this looks so good to chew on.

And a 14 year old kid using a VPN is probably not the target audience for a lot of the worst abuse.
Not saying it won’t happen, but a drastic reduction is better than none.

I’d counter argue that a test that is not communicated, reported, described or otherwise transmitted to another party is identical to it not happening, therefore one needs to tell “someone” (even if that is a private journal), and while in theory falsifability is possible solo, it increases the problem of induction, and science is, in essence, a language: a description of phenomena not the phenomena itself.

I mean I don’t know your life, but “no targets” doesn’t read “good work environment” to me, it reads “no work/life balance”
- Comment on ... 3 weeks ago:
ignoring the other examples you’ve been given: it absolutely does even when it goes well. The scientific method is literally based on “other people must change and refine this, one person’s work is not immutable nor should be taken as gospel”
Also what science is has changed. Science used to be natural philosophy and thus was combined with other non-scientific (to us) disciplines. Social sciences have only been around 200 years tops.
Some would debate that applied mathematics is science, others would say all sociology isn’t science.

also - does this distinction matter? Is someone who runs 100m dash vs an ultra marathon runner both runners? When I run for the bus I’m also running. Sonic the Hedgehog also runs. They have distinctions in context that make sense - but they are all running.

even just on simple stuff I asked it to generate a description on something like

and it returned
“this will set z to null if x is true or false”
like easy to edit, but you have to pay attention.
