Sunday School 2 years, 11 months agoHmm, mortality due to cold vs heat is an interesting question. So I asked ChatGPT version 3.5, which failed to answer it clearly, and got a more detailed answer from version 4.0. I asked both “does cold kill more people than heat in USA, and (separate query) in the world?”.
Excerpt of version 4.0 answer:
As of my knowledge cutoff in September…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 11 months agoOn what was first, chicken or egg, this question is so similar to our preference for other black and white answers, e.g. (one of my favorites) masks work vs masks don’t work, where the actual answer lies on a scale in between, or “it depends” on circumstances.
Evolution works on gradient scales, too, while creationists over-simplify reductionist…[Read more]

NEWS NEWS NEWS!! Current Events and Favorite News Sources 2 years, 11 months agoI want to finally recommend some news and news talk sources I like. The following video segment is from one of my favorite tech news video shows.
Here they discuss big tech company (e.g. Amazon) evolution in our economy. Leo Laporte highlights an article written by one of my favorite authors, Cory Doctorow.
This video skips some minutes, leaving…[Read more]

True, but for the major logistical differences in time and space. Frontiers of “inner space” do have other potential benefits in terms of working to fix our own planet. We don’t even have to go to deep water for that. While also designing and deploying robots.

Unseen, re “family”: I mean, I was looking for your take on it, not a copy and paste from chatgpt…but if that represents what you mean, I guess that will do. I’d also ask you what a “family” is, but you’ll probably copy and paste a chatgpt and I can do it myself.
Regardless, not sure why you are referring to the why of something is “important”…[Read more]
