> The resulting material integrates an innovative set of concepts that include a balance of chaos and order, adjustable porosity, mechanical strength, and complex patterned chemical functionalization. We uncover other isomorphisms across science, technology and art, revealing a nuanced ontology of immanence that reveal a context-dependent heterarchical interplay of constituents.

The article itself seems generated.

This is not serious.

This is impossibly pedantic.

Lots of claims that artists are confined to their media. This assertion is false. Artists mix in new technology, innovate all the time.

A lot of emphasis is put on the history of ideas, establishing a pedigree for the situationists, as if that pedigree lent credibility. This is juvenile.

CEOs don't need an offense to be fired. They are entirely at will. The board can fire a CEO because it feels like it. The offense could be as muddy as 'we broadly dislike the current direction'.

It's a joke.
Re:Embodiment is indispensable for AGI on Tuesday June 07, 2022 @06:34PM (#31660859)
This is something I always thought. AGI must learn what simple ideas such as 'a thing' are, how to find a path (look at how arboreal species navigate) and how that relates to movement, etc. Our physical interactions with the world, as much as our senses, inform everything we do about the world.

I do not understand why we would want AGI though. Seems like we already have humans for that.

The other test is also, "How does this action help prevent Putin's next invasion?" Actions should not only be about applying pressure now, it's about destroying a literally imperialist government's ability to win its wars. So anything which undermines any aspect of the Russian economy is fair game. If we can keep them from training people, good. If we can keep them from raising taxes, good. If we can keep them from feeding their troops, good. If we can usher in strikes over unpaid wages, good. If East European stores stop importing Russian goods, good.
Russia does not invade in reaction to NATO expansion. NATO expands in reaction to Russian invasions. Notice how NATO does not expand militarily. Not once. Notice how Russia expands militarily, every time.
Einstein did not really have a vendetta against Quantum physics. He won a Nobel for having established the basic theory of the photoelectric effect. I know what you mean, but it's not like he thought the idea was ridiculous, he came up with it in his youth.

Ramses is still better known than Shelley, some 5k years later. Ozymandias won.
Re:Daily Mail owner sues Google over search results on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @12:25PM (#26891760)
Google is not in that business. The Daily Mail does not allege that Google is preventing it from being accessed. Censorship is not part of this conversation.
Re:Daily Mail owner sues Google over search results on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @12:18PM (#26891647)
This is not true in Texas and other red states. The Attorney General of Texas files political cases that have no basis in law or fact. He filed the election lawsuit which was soundly rejected by SCOTUS, for instance.

The complaint is invalid. CI pipelines are build systems.
Re:Twitter still hasn't unlocked the New York Post's account on Monday October 26, 2020 @02:58PM (#24899793)
Banning right wing conspiracy theories would not have been a political issue 5 years ago. There is nothing intrinsically leftist about this. It turns out that one political party and its propaganda outlets favour disinformation designed (by foreign adversaries) to provoke political violence. This party only has itself to blame.

Anything becomes political as soon as a politician talks about it. So things being 'political' do not transform them into sacred cows.

Re:Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died on Friday September 18, 2020 @11:09PM (#24524612)
The only reason Mitch Connell withheld the nomination was to prevent a vote he would lose. Kentucky's representative prevented a vote where California's representatives would have had a say. Kentucky decided that California did not need to be consulted on this matter. This sort of behavior is hostile to representative government.

McConnell prevented senators from voting on a candidate they would have approved. This is hijacking representatives' voice because you're afraid to hear it.
Ever wonder why the US dominates in the number of patents? This is why.
Re:IBM sues Airbnb for patent royalties on Thursday March 12, 2020 @12:34PM (#22558600)
It seems like patent laws are a barrier to grow your business up to a certain size in the US. Would it be more sensible to incorporate in a jurisdiction - say, Canada - which does not allow such broad patents?

You talk about the MSM as if it was a thing, and not a term of propaganda. It may explain the confusion.
AI does not exist. There is no 'intelligence' in ML model.
If you work primarily on synthetic data as a data scientist, you deserve to get fired. The link is pretty cool though.

The chat and image service both have many alternatives. Many people do not use Facebook but still use these services.
