Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

1 and 2 are OK, but 3 and 4 are not. Manufacturers and suppliers come and go too frequently and may be quite different around the world. These kind of "which brand is best" answers also tend to b...
The Steam Deck uses a customized Arch with KDE and Wayland. The "gaming mode" is basically Steam running in Big Picture mode, but it uses the minimal window manager gamescope to avoid running the h...
AI is a broader field than Machine Learning. For example, Automated reasoning and Knowledge Representation are AI, but not ML. Most modern AI is about Machine Learning, but not all AI is. Given th...
What can I do with used up disposable batteries, such as AA/AAA? It used to be that these had to be separated so they can be put through a special remediation process. However, apparently that was...
The span ratings are generally deflection limited for most applications, not breaking load limited. https://www.innovativepanel.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/American-Plywood-Association-Load-Spa...
The bits are either bent, or were made (formed, ground to shape) improperly. Straightening bent bits is possible in theory, but likely to prove difficult in practice. Assuming you get everything l...
Short of specialty items you have already eliminated as more than you want to pay, the simple solution to the software, privacy, whatever issues of "Smart TVs" is to make sure that the thing has so...
Where can I get a high-quality, ergonomic mouse with a dedicated middle click button? I use "ergonomic" loosely, in the sense of "doesn't hurt to use all day". It doesn't have to have a special ...
Is there a specification meta-language for logics? A formal language which can express, “a logic with variable symbols, unary predicates, and connectives”?
When I work with wood in my garage, it quickly fills with sawdust. Everything in the garage gets covered with a film of dust. Many of my tools have dust extraction ports. I know some people get sp...
I've tried this out with some equipment I have on hand. Generally, yes, a household vacuum will work as a dust collector, but it's not as effective or convenient. For occasional use, it might be be...
The following is cross-posted from Stack Exchange for catching my eye: Schopenhauer already defined "intentionality". There is a part in his philosophy where he separates representation into subj...
I'm confused why you would bother buying grounding wire. Grounding wire is intended to only carry ground, which shouldn't ever be more than a few volts from other ground, like metal water pipes. ...
This question sounds basic, so I'll try to answer with a layperson in mind. "Learning" is a bit misleading, because programs do not currently learn the way humans do. They do not have a mind or ab...
I think there may be a common fallacy which I do not know if it has been given a name and a fully developed, possibly mathematical, argument. The idea is something like a basic fallacy of assuming...
I think utilitarianism would provide an answer to this. Knowledge like mathematical theorems, scientific findings, folklore and literature poses hardly any threat to privacy while the benefit of f...
Presburger arithmetic is a theory that is decidable, but includes an infinite set of axioms. The interesting part is the 5th point from the Wikipedia formulation: (P(0) ∧ ∀x(P(x) → P(x + 1))) →...
To upgrade my base, I need to build 2 fluffy pal beds. However, in the tech tree, I can't find this building. Some techs are locked because "I haven't caught the right Pal yet", but which Pal do I...
A philosophical zombie is an entity that is externally, behaviorally indistinguishable from some conscious entity, but lacks inner conscious experience, a.k.a. qualia. See articles “Zombies” and “...
Hello. I have seen that the post view isn't shown. But it would be very helpful to see post views. Please add it.
The fluffy pal bed does not require a specific pal, that's just the UI being janky. The tech is unlocked when your character reaches level 24. Then you have to buy it in the tech screen (press T) a...
I am still in the throes of learning this myself, but I would say logical empiricism comes close, or more broadly, analytic philosophy. It is common to hear nowadays that “logical positivism has b...
Google Groups, which comes with all free Google accounts, can be used to set up a mailing list. It also integrates with the rest of Google resources, so for example you can share a calendar with a ...
In the following scenario: A person is not running for President of the U.S. Somehow, they receive a large number of votes as a write-in candidate, and secure the election victory. They decline ...
a formal system is a system of axioms equipped with rules of inference, which allow one to generate new theorems. The set of axioms is required to be finite or at least decidable, i.e., there mus...
