I get the general philosophical point but to take a fun counterargument - cameras don't record the moment. They record a very narrow snapshot in time. One you, or anyone around you, may not recognise. Have you ever looked at a group of

Not everything, but university is a big shift towards self directed learning. Lack of understanding coming into the courses causes issues, when I started we had to delay things because some students hadn't encountered matrixes and the

This isn't so directly related, and I know that performance figures are highly workload dependent and always under the headline figures but I want to take a moment to point out the multi-petaflop figures. Yes they're not full pr

People messing up in this puzzle are not confused about the idea that people know things others don't.

No it doesn't. You'd get the answer to a riddle wrong or miss something and nobody would start assuming that means you lack a fundamental understanding of how the world works. There's entire fields that look into how and why

I'm not a huge fan of using these kind of riddles or gotchas. Other comments have riddle variants which feel also like ways of tripping someone up - if you don't spot the change you fail. And what's more the originals are thi

I'm not totally sure that's true. I get where you are coming from, an 8 bit rng can only output 256 distinct values at most. 256 would be the longest cycle. However if you combine the outputs of two, but don't step them at th

But what they're describing is a case where someone with the storytelling ability but not the money or technical skills could create something that looks solid. You're imagining "pls write film" but the case of being abl

I don't know why people immediately try and shut this kind of thing down. Sure, them spending time together is important. However for what happened here so is the podcast about subduction zones at a level the kid could take something

On the other hand it was able to talk about my background and that made it feel far more like a regular video call to me. Trying to forbid this stuff then leads to stilted conversations where they're explaining they're not allowed

Fwiw I'm pretty sure 97% speedup is 197% of the speed of the baseline, so roughly double.

To be fair the phone failures were at least in part due to Googles anti competitive behaviours that they are being (have been?) fined for.

I agree both got it right, in the sense that it wouldn't be a stupid thing for a human to do. If there's a follow-up from someone, I'm sure the more basic llm would have been able to adjust. Regardless I think it's good

A different platform doesn't mean third party. It can just mean you have completely separated things so that none of the data tooling discussed here has any ability to access it.

I mean this in the kindest way, but what on earth even is this? It's described as > No generative AI. > No cloud. > No distractions. > Just your thoughts. But that doesn't even vaguely tell me what the concept is and h

Although pre-cleaned data is often not reflective of reality and requires careful work to use, often requiring a lot more knowledge of the field.

The usual argument is less about piracy as a term and more the use of the word theft, and your use of the word "taking". When we talk about physical things theft and taking mean depriving the owner of that thing. If I have somethi

At its core, a death penalty is permission for the government to kill its own citizens. That's a pretty big step, and to me it requires a lot of benefits to justify.

What's weird to me with the call example is I can receive a video call but I can't respond with a video of me. And I find being on a video call with someone just on audio very creepy. If I'm not a weirdo for that, then it&#x2

How centralised the logistics are doesn't seem to me to be all that related to the size and number of the shops. For example, here there's Tesco. But there's huge tescos, tiny ones in towns, tiny ones outside of towns, subsid

They might be looking at things with the AMS thing that lets you do multiple colours. Mini with that is about £300. Without that, the mini is £169 and the A1 is £289 as you say.

That doesn't sound too complicated? There's two things here being conflated, the view and the data. You can show the current state when not in focus and show the edit state when in focus. Or view it from the angle of the input. Sh
