Completely agreed. I think I struggled for too long in Farewell and had to turn on the assist mode (which is extremely judgement free, btw).

You mean Pokemon where some low level Ratata can press turn you to death while you sit in hopeless despair?

Honestly I would consider BFS/DFS artificial intelligence (and I think most introductory AI courses agree). But yea it's a definition game and I don't think most people qualify intelligence as purely human-centric. Simple tasks like pattern recognition already count as a facet of intelligence.

He was a bit busy trying to not form an opinion about people who are smelly and don't take care of themselves (yes, an actual line from Meditations)

Ideally? Have public transport that runs to these national parks. Japan has train stations that bring you right up to the foot of a mountain -- I'm almost very certain that one train station requires less space than a carpark (thinking in terms of capacity here). Of course this requires a massive revamp in infrastructure, but one can wish. There are also some buses that feed into these parks, which is fantastic, give me more! As a tourist, I'll gladly give these buses more money than whatever car rental company I have to use.

P. S. I think the immediate short-circuiting to "guess we won't have forests" is kinda worrying.

Hmm I'm gonna reply to this against my better judgement.

I think you're absolutely right that inclusivity is important. You're still skirting around two issues:

1. Queer is plenty inclusive (see my original comment). Is queer insufficient? I would love to know as well, as a queer person.
2. Being antagonistic might allow you to express your thoughts, sure. But I doubt it will allow the other person to internalise anything meaningfully.

You're also right that it's no one's job to police how you use terminology. I think the rest here are taking issue with how you are communicating this (and ironically enough, policing others on terminology).

Either way, I think it might be worth examining why the response to someone's ignorance felt so visceral and rage-fuelled. Not saying it's a bad thing, we could all use more inclusivity in our lives! But hopefully we could take a step back and ask ourselves why do we react a certain way? It's a good exercise to understand ourselves a bit better.

Have a nice day, yea. And have an upvote too! Sick of the downvotes in this thread.

Bro I'm bisexual but I just tell people I'm queer. It's all encompassing and I'm lazy and it's only one syllable.

I say openly that I'm bad at math because I cannot, even with intense effort, intuit concepts that are laid out as pure mathematical expressions. Why do graphs have eigenvectors? What does that even look like?!

You're right, and an upvote for you. I've seen colleagues who encounter a 90% drop in efficacy when making the leap to Phase 1 trials (and this is excluding safety concerns!).

It is rigorous and thank everything the Process is put in place. But I specifically used Oxycontin as an example for a pertinent reason. Rigour isn't applied to everyone equally, and I think that itself underscores a need to think critically.

I struggle to find recent publications on SciHub, y'know, to report them to the hardworking journals that tirelessly implemented paywalls.

Any ideas how I can find papers that are within the past 6 months?

Good God what happened then?

While I always remove the minimaps, may I ask someone more experienced than me why minimaps are even a thing in VSCode? What am I supposed to see? 1 pixel tall gibberish?
