@moultano This was my immediate thought as well. I can write a program that endlessly outputs 10,000 character chunks. One of those chunks will contain knowledge that can solve the Collatz Conjecture.

@redtachyon It's Dunning Kruger writ large.

Regarding the original tweet, people with no knowledge of information theory or computability really need to stop pontificating on what AI can and cannot do.

@saradietschy I like to think of it as "non-linear income".

@DiscussingFilm And just like Rogue One, the scene is less effective because we ALREADY saw the villain multiple times throughout the film/show.

Imagine if Vader only appeared in that final scene in Rogue One. It would have been 10x more effective.

@OldHollowTree Watch @ramit 's podcast. The couples still have problems, but it is much more realistic and not just a bunch of reality-tv wannabes.

Not that I am hating on Caleb. He plays the game well. But I don't find anything genuine about the people he interviews.

@wil_da_beast630 Newton should be in the top 5. Certainly he is higher than Einstein or Tesla.

@peterrhague Seems like the common trend among the red items is very low elasticity.

What if Matt Walsh wrote this just to make us all reflect on how good we have it these days?

It's an empirical fact that basically everything in our day to day lives has gotten worse over the years. The quality of everything -- food, clothing, entertainment, air travel, roads, traffic, infrastructure, housing, etc -- has declined in observable ways. Even newer inventions -- search engines, social media, smart phones -- have gone down hill drastically. This isn't just a random "old man yells at clouds" complaint. It's true. It's happening. The decline can be measured. Everyone sees it. Everyone feels it. Meanwhile political pundits and podcast hosts (speaking of things that are getting worse) focus on anything and everything except these practical real-life problems that actually affect our quality of life.

@CuteCatcel Centering a composition is often seen as boring. It's the default behavior of beginner artists. So when an expert does it well it is noteworthy.

@bendreyfuss I'm a mod on an art-based Discord server. I can't tell you how many people introduce themselves with their mental health diagnosis in the first sentence.

@robkhenderson I remember this happening before. From 2002:

@waitbutwhy Affinity is a great (and now free) alternative.

@Noahpinion I'm calling it: this HAS to be a joke. Surely someone is going to step forward and admit they submitted this article just for the lolz.....right?

@WhitneyGrenaway Pretty much everyone I know gets a chinup before a pullup. Biceps have a head start over lats it seems.

[Trent @HelloTrent]

@devahaz People are getting outraged at the numbers but are missing the point.

If you act like you are getting $1X but really you only get $0.6X, you have a problem. When X = 1,000,000, you have a BIG problem.

@Noahpinion You are assuming the consumers (students) are purchasing education. I think the real product is the chance to avoid the real world for a few more years.

@SincereMickey @vikare06 You beat me to it 🤣

[Trent @HelloTrent]

@ScottApogee Yup.

[Trent @HelloTrent]

@robkhenderson I think a major issue in our society is mistaken polarities. "Happy" and "stressed" are not opposites. You can be both. Same thing with "Intelligence" and "Stupidity". They are not measuring the same thing.

@robkhenderson Spindrift is absolutely my new favorite carbonated water.
