I've taken the test multiple times, and ended up with my boundary being both greener than >70% of the population and bluer than >70% of the population in separate attempts. And I know my color perception to be good at distinguishing hue - it's just that I don't have strong opinions about categorizing it in this space.

I'm pretty sure there's some hysteresis going on - if we randomly end up in the ambiguous zone on the bluer side, we'll be pressing "blue" every time a small change happens, because it's basically the same color. Until the changes add up so much that we're out of the ambiguous zone on the green side - and now our "border" is far on the green side. But if we started on the other side, entering the ambiguous zone from the green side, it'd take a big cumulative change before we press "blue".

"but does it only make these because there already exist hundreds of examples and tutorials? fear not, there's an entire library of other projects it made all of which also have hundreds of examples and tutorials"

don't get me wrong, it's interesting, but the response here didn't answer the question

Fair enough. Still up to 50 board states that can influence the current one (the 50 move rule is coming to help here)

FEN doesn't store previous states, but EPD can. It just goes to show how meanings and requirements change depending on context, which is super interesting in and of itself :P

I think it's pushback due to how AI is being sold as the ultimate tool that will replace artists/programmers/writers/whomever.

Because the technology has been making big leaps over the past couple of years, the comparisons are now being made not with what used to be before, but with what is being promised. And in that regard, things do fall short.

Basically the hype builders hyped things up so much they started hurting the hype.

Wonder what's the story behind this not being made by the Khronos Group. Especially since, at least according to Wikipedia, it's based on Vladimir Vukićević's work.

The name choice is interesting. If one of the first things in your FAQ is "the name probably made you think this is thing X. it's not", then maybe there was a flaw in your naming process.

i recommend trying the phrase "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!" on style 6, with legibility set to maximum. sometimes it looks roughly right, sometimes it opens with "sphnnneoooeoeoeoeoevorneroerof black quartz"

In both a universe with few "grabby" civilizations, and a universe with many non-grabby civilizations there would be countless lifeforms, just more or less diversely distributed among civilizations. In either of these universes us here being as early as we are is equally "suspect".

Should I assume humans will soon achieve immortality and stop breeding (or just go extinct) just because it makes me less of an outlier? Cause that seems to lead to the exact opposite conclusions, just by putting the delineation point at an individual rather than a civilization.

"Furthermore, we should believe that loud aliens exist, as that’s our most robust explanation for why humans have appeared so early in the history of the universe." The most robust explanation for humans appearing so early is that yeah, it seems we did appear early, someone had to - since it doesn't assume an entire model of intergalactic civilizations.

Zig does as well. Looks like "null needs some abstraction, and exceptions are way too complex" is the current consensus, at least in some fields.

Decommodification does not imply centralization, nor does it mean losing ownership of your housing. Commons have been used by people for a long time before the idea of housing markets or central control came along. Most often when I see the idea floated around w/ regards to housing it links ownership with use - if you live at your house, you have control over it. But noone can say "I control the home where someone else lives, because I have a paper that says so."

I tried it on Chrome, and it started recognizing after just one line. On Firefox it never did.

Also, it's sad that your drawing gets discarded as soon as you pick a category.

The Draw Things section has no way to finalize the drawing. The only buttons are reset and undo.

Also on the world map there's a bunch of bikes that claim to be cars and pickups.

Firefox on Windows.
