While he included æ in his kids name, that's not the letter he's actually obsessed with. He's just an idiot who failed upward due to his parents and dumb luck. The only thing he's ever been consistent with is being a pompous a-hole.

So sacrificing usability because he subjectively thinks it looks better. Musk being Musk..... He apparently did the same thing at Telsa, which is one of the reasons his cars do so much through the screen instead of physical controls.....

Yea, the posting style seemed similar, was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Even WITH programmable microcontrollers, you need a grasp on the fundamentals. Drawing to much power can damage the microcontroller, and over-current can easily fry LEDs and other components. You also have to understand the limitations of the microcontroller you are using. They aren't magic...

You are right that we don't fully understand consciousness, but there are a great many things we don't understand, that doesn't mean consciousness doesn't manifest as an emergent property of complex interacting systems. If you iterate Z₂ = Z₁ + C on a complex plane and filter out the results...

SEVERAL biological processes do seem to have a quantum component to them, but given the tiny scale of cell parts, that just goes with the territory. It doesn't mean that consciousness itself is a quantum property. Heck the flash memory used in SSD's and SD cards relies on quantum effects to...

Lol, yea, I noticed that earlier today. Went to see how much it would cost, though IF i expand my farming and grow high-yield crops while doing some intense hunting in Bahari Bay....

He was talking about external bots. The ones following him are internal bots created by x-twitter themselves. There's a difference, you see.

Good luck getting 3/4ths of the state legislatures to agree on such an amendment, heck, good luck on getting 2/3ds of congress/state legislatures to even bring it up for vote. Congress can't just up the age due to the 26th amendment. The country is in bad shape, but it's not THAT far gone, at...

Funny thing is, in certain areas, AI is better than a Human at VERY specific tasks. Training biases are MUCH harder to screen out on complex problems, though, so all AI should be looked at with a skeptical lens.

Or maybe, just maybe, and hear me out here, someone who belongs to two minority groups is gonna have a hard time meeting other people who happen to be in those same two marginalized groups. You also don't get to choose your parents, and his mother, while raised Anglican, had converted to...

To tell you the truth, you're probably BETTER versed than the average person who was raised Christian, at least on the foundational texts. Culturally, perhaps not, though. On paper, I was born Methodist, but my parents were rather non-devout and I pretty much dropped what little belief I had...

I'm not sure if atheist is the right word for Paine, but he DID consider organized religion of ANY flavor to be evil. Given his writings on the subject, he'd probably end up in the deist camp. He was also a staunch abolitionist, was against capital punishment(which nearly ended up getting him...

Cherry picking a bit there. One could easily make such a list with any other religion.

It was a genre defining game. Between the atmosphere, the dungeon design and the general mechanics, it just worked and worked much better than it had any right too considering the era it was released in. Definitely feels rough around the edges today, though, and not just because of the graphics.

There's still time. Don't give up. William the Conqueror wasn't British until he took the throne and I've been running some experiments that might help with the whole Minotaur slaying bit. DARPA rejected my grant request though, so I need more cash.

Really... Of all the people you use an example, it's those two grifters?

State law was probably written before 4chan was created, most likely.

It's the core texts of the Hindu religion. Not the only sacred texts in the Hindu religion, but pretty much all of them connect back to the Vedic texts in one way or the other.(I could be wrong on this, I'm not a scholar of the Hinduism or even culturally linked to Hindu culture, but it is my...

Do you, as a Christian, read the Koran or the Veda? The only Jews who read the New Testament are those questioning their faith, or those curious about the beliefs of others.
