Reagan hasn't been president for close to 40 years and died more than 20 years ago. At what point do we accept responsibility for this instead of blaming dead presidents?

Why would I use Linux on Windows when I can just use Linux?

I switched from Windows 10 to Debian a year ago (didn't even bother with windows 11 with how much anti-consumer features it had).

Everything works for me on Debian, with the additional bonus that my operating system is no longer spying on me.

tldr: for science and a stepping stone towards a crewed mission to Mars

Godwin's law...

As an American, I felt extremely proud seeing 4 astronauts (3 Americans, 1 Canadian) come back after 10 days in space and the amount of coordination it takes, regardless of politics.

IPv6 feels like we just can't admit to ourselves that it has been a failed transition. What would it take to come up with IPv7 which takes in the lessons of IPv6 and produces something better that we can all agree is worth transitioning to over IPv4.

> GLX is open source and still evolving

The only thing I see are some docs and a binary, no source.

> stop repeating that. first, it isn't true that intelligence is barely defined. https://arxiv.org/abs/0706.3639

I don't think he should stop, because I think he's right. We lack a definition of intelligence that doesn't do a lot of hand waving.

You linked to a paper with 18 collective definitions, 35 psychologist definitions, and 18 ai researcher definitions of intelligence. And the conclusion of the paper was that they came up with their own definition of intelligence. That is not a definition in my book.

> second a definition is obviously not a prerequisite as evidenced by natural selection

right, we just need a universe, several billions of years and sprinkle some evolution and we'll also get intelligence, maybe.

Why is the author listed as Mehrdad Ghasemizadeh in researchgate but the author is listed as M. Pajuhaan on the paper?

> So what comes next?

Since you provided a source for your numbers, I'll bite. Formalize results into mechanical proofs that can be verified by computers so that we build a library of computer proofs. You can't bullshit a computer.

I'm not sure how it would work for statistical results, but defining a formalized standard might be a good first step for deriving numbers from raw data instead of relying on the authors to calculate the statistics themselves.

Not that I disagree with your numbers, but do you have any sources for your numbers of paper mills doubling output every 1.5 years vs real research doubling every 15 years?
