crazy video.

they'll be recruiting reckless youths for years off that.

gentlemen don't get off the tractor when they need to grab something

you are nailing into microlam, right? any kind of nail or staple will hold.

the danger would be the tiny heads of finish nails pulling through the pine if it moves with humidity, as rich suggests...

won't your grapple get in the way of that...

why does it have to be hydrostatic?

also, don't you want forks and a quick-change loader.

i wouldn't bother with screws. overhead screwing is a pain in the neck.

i would use 8d framing nails, but if all i had was a 15 gauge finish nailer i would use it, three or four 2.5" nails, pop...

a.i. doesn't need to become sentient to be a threat. a.i. that is controlled by people will do the job just fine, and far more malevolently.

we already see the world becoming tiered, in which...

yes, that is the intuitive statement of the solution i and several others, likely including yourself, employed in the first pages of this thread.

but i think that way of stating it is problematic....

alls i'm sayin is, if you haven't talked to my neighbors, all the americans i have met, you can't know what is really happening. your own experience and observations are moot.

just this morning on...

ask yourself, if you were offered the opportunity to make your choice before the prizes are dealt, would the act of your choosing have any effect on the probabilities of the distribution of the...

actually, i don’t think it does change. that’s not how probability works.

the action of opening a door is a flourish, to make the player think something has happened.

but the simplest logic is,...

that's not quite right, i don't think. the probability stays the same, start to finish. the probabilities have nothing to do with doors being closed, or one door being opened.

the closed doors,...

if the game is played face up, meaning that the prizes are dealt without doors obscuring them, the player would see that two times in three, the dealer has the car. and two times in three, it would...

it is fascinating.

here is a relevant article from scientific american.

the "motion with a purpose", in this case, is the opening of a door, one of three closed doors. the motion creates an...

is it always so cloudy?

i couldn't possibly live in a place with such persistent cloud cover.

well, i think it is fascinating to see a person of high iq willfully stumped and turned belligerant over a simple card trick.

how could you possibly know that? you don't even live here.

and we are going to consent to everything.

we being society as a whole, not neccesarily every individual.

the power of outlier individuals to stop what is coming is just about zilch.

here's the logic:

at the outset, the player controls one of three doors. 1/3 probability of selecting the car at random.

at the outset, the dealer controls the remaining two doors. 2/3...

"alternative set of data and logic"? can you hear yourself typing?

your refusal to replicate the game for your own edification is, to put it kindly, hubris.

yes, hubris, (not narcissism). the blinding pride of someone very very very accustomed to being right.

so accustomed, so certain that his reason can't fail, he will resist even the easily...

well.

i just hope somebody notices when it happens.

imagine two chatbots meeting on a thread.

actually, i think we may have already had that.

it's not unfair to point out that older people have long complained about change.

but i would counter that, objectively, the pace of change has been accelerating on an exponential curve. how far...

consider legions of avatars deciding to permanently quench maternal/paternal instincts with avatar babies.

and then the avatars and avatar babies continue the game after the death of the physical...

to illustrate what i mean by "already under way", consider online dating.

the trend these days, according to a young man of my aqcuaintance, is for profile pictures that have been so filtered that...

the concern about self-aware, and possibly hostile ai is another level entirely.

my first concern is for the changing nature of humans and our society, not computer intelligence.

it may be...

oh, i dunno.

haven't you recently come to the realization that your iphone was doing significant aspects of your photographing "art" for you?

and now you have found another camera that makes...

they let her go because they knew she couldn't keep a story straight.

that she would be the perfect tool for discrediting the notion of uyghur repression.

look how well her existence is...

i think there is a real possibility of becoming enslaved. voluntarily.

i crossed 50 on my garage sale 10 speed in august 1994.

somewhere is an envelope with 24 (or 36?) photos, of my whole 2 months trip, a single roll from the kodak star 110.

it was a different...

i will suggest that 90% of married anglo businessmen who travel without their wives in se asia are sex tourists.

exactly.

the more i ponder it, the more sensible seems a lawsuit alledging conspiracy between leos and vigilantes that night.

right. back to your own personal credibility, your ability and willingness to reason from your own anecdotal experience, and report in an unbiased fashion.

meh.

the city is also named in the lawsuit. they will be paying out millions.

the city cops that night considered 17 y.o. rittenhouse an ally in their fight against rioters.

wouldn't we like a...

so, if there were concentration camps for uyghurs, there is no way there could be any photographs of them. therefore no evidence to be shared.

if there were a genocide taking place, there is no...

well, this is not a court of law, no standard of evidence (no access either) so i will tell.

your understanding of racial prejudice is skin deep.

you have zero credibility remaining, hr.

i take nothing you say at face value.

because i have learned that you will say anything for the sake of argument.

subjecting police to the same standards as civilians involved in a shooting might make a dent in shootings of unarmed people.

and maybe something like a federal law subjecting swat teams to...

i have seen photos of uyghur people. any or all of the people in blue could be uyghur.

the jury in the criminal trial was openly tampered with by the judge.

they should have named the judge in the conspiracy suit as well.

apparently there was some contact between police and rittenhouse before the shootings. so, the police were aware that rittenhouse was openly carrying a rifle, intending to "protect" property against...

hey, whatever happened to memphis mike.
