So you should really stop calling it laziness. It's doing a disservice to yourself and anyone else suffering from the same issue. An inability to complete simple tasks when your brain is actively working against you is not a character flaw.

OpenAI just put out a blog post about a new model trained via RL (I'm assuming this isn't the usual RLHF) to perform chain of thought reasoning before giving the user its answer. As usual, there's very little detail about how this is accomplished so it's hard for me to get excited about it, but the rest of you might find this interesting.

we can only do that in our fiction

At present, yes. The hypothetical is in the future, possibly in one where we've developed interstellar travel and we can be the ones visiting the alien planet.

Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I'll never get to.

There's one major problem with this kind of website that I've been wanting a solution for, and it's that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it's actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that's intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.

since they are by definition far beyond our technology

How so? Aliens aren't going to suddenly come into existence and have super-human technology in that same instant.

Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.

I've heard a lot about the Rwandan genocide, but this is my first time hearing of OP's thing. It's more interesting to read about something novel, which is probably why you see more of this being shared.

I mean the "person" in the car, not the car itself.

Or "I thought you guys might find this interesting"

That kinda looks like... SCP-173.

Is this an issue of executive dysfunction? Putting the cart back is such a trivial task that I have a hard time attributing it to laziness. It doesn't sound like you're doing it on purpose to be a dick either. Do you find that you sometimes can't do other things that should also be trivially simple? Like getting up off the couch to grab something two feet away, or deciding that lunch is too complicated because you need to put it in the microwave? My partner and I have both gone through this for most of our lives and it really sucks, but it doesn't have to be that way.

And if you don't, someone else will do it for you on your dime.

 

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

 

There's many posts here with the purpose of convincing people to support electoral reform. Not so much that's actually actionable. What do we do if we want to change things? For a start, does anyone have information on who's responsible for the election system at each level of government in each of the major cities?

 

I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

 

I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.
