I wonder what this might mean for the Valve Index. I mean, 1.6TFlops is still far from an RTX 2080 (10.1 TFlops), by a factor of 10, but still…

I have nothing to say. Other than that I find it really pleasant to have the opportunity for some civil discourse with some civil people. Thank you for that.

I certainly know most things are arbitrations between needs and preferences. However, pretending that preserving these precious young people even against themselves is of the utmost importance while still making such tradeoffs is hypocrisy.

One would hope for a better supported rebuttal given that the gp went through the trouble of giving a few examples. Or is that more of a firmly and deeply held personal belief more akin to blind faith or hopeful candor than an actual opinio

It could end up being tried as being both the piano maker’s and player’s fault. The former for making and selling it, the latter for buying and using it. Just like counterfeit goods. No?

I’d wager you’d get rid of over 90% of most codebases by removing all that. But perhaps there could be a way to make something that automatically converts these "non-expressive elements" into copyrightable elements? Output would p

Really depends who you ask and where they live. Home sizes in Paris haven’t changed much over the past 50 years. Yet, prices have exploded. Heck, they’ve skyrocketed. For the exact same thing. Only a bit older. New apartments, no bigger b

As a matter of fact, France raised it’s tuition fees for foreigners, in part because their universities were seen as suspiciously not expensive enough . Which I totally get, but find hilarious nonetheless.

FU money isn’t about being able to satisfy every whim and hold up to anyone else’s standard. Almost nobody in the whole world can afford to send their children off to a $500k college. Not even after saving up half of everything they’ve ea

Oh, definitely. I was just musing on the previous comment and noting that one of the things we do best is learn how to do things we previously didn’t how to do.

Most people I know who’ve been to college, or otherwise educated in the area they work in, tend to solve problems using what they know (not implying it’s a hard limit. Just an apparently well spread first instinct). Which fits the pattern

The popular and psychological definition are quite different from one another. To go even further, there are multiple definitions to the word in psychology, depending on what sources you rely upon (ie Jung’s, the "Big Five"’s, a

You are right in that lawmakers and judges won’t. However, it can happen with both investors or managers instead. Or clients, when you’re a freelancer. And I thought of the selling option, but it would just mean that someone else would bend

Yes. And what is the issue with that? As long as you don’t actually dump into the river what you were forbidden to? Unlike quite a few companies all over the world.
