You can trust them on this.

They went back in time. Math wasn’t invented yet back in the 1600. People didn’t count fish because they didn’t sell them, they threw them all in a vat and neanderthals migrated from the villages to go bobbing for fishes.

You can trust me on this.

Reply to Combining game theory with AI, Meta's Cicero was able to outsmart 90% of human players of the strategy game Diplomacy. Game theory models many forms of group human behavior, especially in politics and economics, where this AI will have many applications. by lughnasadh

This reeks of another Meta fake, like most of what we see of the metaverse.

The natural language processing would be a stunning achievement, but I won’t believe it until I see more evidence than some posts.

Reply to Winter Vest? by wandrefilled

One factor of a coat that I haven’t seen mentioned:

You can layer up to beat the cold, but a single warm coat means you can dress for the indoors underneath.

One of the struggles with being dressed for the cold is getting to your toasty warm destination, now you’re overdressed.

If you can just take off the coat to be dressed comfortably, that really helps.

Reply to This Low-Cost Device Could Make the Deep Sea Accessible to Everyone. The inexpensive Maka Niu collects video and data at depths more than five times greater than trained scuba divers can go by Sariel007

Cool for oceanographers—but I’m not sure who the headline writer thinks “everyone“ is.

By far most everyone does not have the disposable income to spend exploring the deep ocean, no matter how relatively affordable this is.

Reply to An issue I’ve sadly been experiencing when reading fiction/fantasy more and more with passing time by whocaresfuckthisshit

If you’re mostly reading fantasy fiction then you probably need to mix it up. Most activities are subject to habituation—do it too often, too frequently and its effects will diminsh.

Refresh your experience by diversifying. Non-fiction is an obvious choice, literary fiction would be more grounded in characters, or if you want a different take on the fantastic you may enjoy speculative fiction for being out-of-this-world yet having relevant topical subtext.

Be aware that commercial sci-fi and fantasy can often be heavily driven by world-building and thus thin on other qualities. Being highly selective of authors may help once you have changed your reading habits.

Reply to The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

Author mistakes drones and robots for the same thing.

I am against military robots, they are obvious disasters waiting to happen.

Drones are under a pilot’s control. The potential concerns about drones are dwarfed by the risks presented by robots which act autonomously.
