Yes and yes but no interest in self hosting
- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 day ago:
Economics does run randomised Control trials. Economics does adhere to testable hypotheses. Economics does use rigorous statistics/maths.
Psychology too mate. Both use the scientific method, but the premise that all experiments are under full control doesn’t apply to them.

Well sure they don’t have to, but this makes it much easier to adopt.

Nice article, but sounds like he only had access to conversations available to every single government employee? He wasn’t able to crack into any direct messages or channels that he didn’t get an invite for.

I guess they’re all cloud tools? Or is there something I can install in my laptop?

I don’t know on what it’s based on, but it’s open source and audited.

Also Jeremy is an asshole because he eats all the cookies, and that makes everyone hate him.
Don’t be like Jeremy.

Ah yes I read that post too
- Comment on China completes first full-scale underwater pumped storage trial at 65 meters depth 6 days ago:
Oh now I found time to read the article. I thought they would sink and rise hollowed balls, when they actually keep the balls down and pump water in and out of them.
I wonder if they are heavier than water, so you just need a small anchor to prevent drifting.
- Comment on China completes first full-scale underwater pumped storage trial at 65 meters depth 6 days ago:
I would still guess lifting water through pipes (specially if the reservoir is uphill in a mountain) is way easier than building something chained at the bottom of the ocean, which would need pulleys and a big heavy weight down there.
- Comment on Canada’s military has modelled hypothetical US invasion, reports say 6 days ago:
Meh, how much oil do they have anyways? It’s probably just cheaper to buy next elections. That would be the traditional, rational, incremental bullying action.
Ops forgot that the orange guy is increasingly cringe and irrational.
- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 1 week ago:
That’s just idiot grifter CEOs afraid of being left behind because they believed hype in the media. Not happening in the timescale that they want, but by 2033 the trend will be easy to spot. And it will be nowhere near the current claims.
- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 1 week ago:
Hahahah
I’m as against the current hype as you.
I’m just anchoring my opinion in that AI has been studied for over 60 years now, and AGI is probably 50 years away. What we’re living is one more incremental change that will compound with dozens of other AI improvements that will result in dramatic changes when seen in 10 years time slots.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 1 week ago:
Of course it does, and only they can tell you how to do it.

I guess he didn’t read history books about … (flip flip)
- Robots taking automotive industry in the 80, or (flip flip)
- mechanisation throughout 20th century, or perhaps (flip flip)
- steam machines in the 19th century
Well well he seems to have never touched a history book.

- Comment on China and the United States Are Racing Towards Different Ends in AI 3 weeks ago:
Basically it says one is pursuing a race towards AGI in the shortest possible time horizon in detriment of everything else (including profitability), and the other is doing scientific/financial/economic responsible, sustainable, long term growth.
It’s the same old battle of unconditional quarter growth towards infinity vs positioning itself as taking all opportunities to be a leader in a particular field.
This time state capitalism wins big over unrestrained capitalism.
No tankies or ultra rights comments please, I won’t take the bait. I’m neither citizen of both countries and I want both to stop their imperialism so every other country gets a fair go.

Different compressions under same bit rate can be dramatically different. My favourite was aac 20 years ago. I don’t think MP3 evolved significantly in this time frame, I was never a fan.

Well yes but I look at your ruler and I couldn’t find any clue if that’s centimetres or something retarded like inches. And there’s other rulers that are even more retarded.
- Comment on Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith 4 weeks ago:
NVIDIA is producing and delivering GPUs. However this does NOT translate into income, and that’s what’s making it shady. These companies are paying in shares that will be worth nothing when it pops.
- Comment on What an unprocessed photo looks like 4 weeks ago:
This info may still be present in the files, download them and inspect with any software that displays that kinda info. I’m not proficient in that, I am just a nerd that has done it a decade ago when I was into photography.
- Comment on What an unprocessed photo looks like 4 weeks ago:
My understanding is that really raw phone data also have a lot of lens distortion, and proprietary code written by the camera brand has specific algorithms to undo that effect. And this is the part that phone tinkerers complain is not open source (well, it does lots of other things to the camera too).

Is that the case for big ground and space telescopes too? I can imagine this could cause wobbling.
Btw is that also how infrared and x-ray telescopes work as well?

Hey
Why no banana? Banana is the best scale always.
What rocket is this nozzle from? I don’t recognise it given the big side nozzles that seem to not be able to independently pivot.
