I just don't think there's much point in having the conversation unless people can elucidate what exactly they're complaining about. All films have "messaging".

The most upfront "message" I can think of from the Star Wars sequels is TLJ's assertion that you don't need to be born important to do important things. Is that what we're talking about?

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre actually is good though. I watched it quite recently and was surprised how good the cinematography, soundtrack, performances etc were. Admittedly good in a cheap and gnarly way that suited the subject matter,

How will it help if people stop donating to the Against Malaria Foundation? It seems to me that'll cost a lot of lives and not benefit public health infrastructure one jot.

I would make the exact opposite case. "Weird EA" (the people worrying about paperclip generators and shrimp welfare) is a consequence of EA's roots in, and continued association with, academic philosophy. The main, good part

As per the other replies, you've seriously misunderstood some fundamentals about EA. But aside from that: > The better solution is to (1) increase tax rates on the wealthiest sectors of the economy by restoring 1960s-era tax bracket

I'm ashamed to say I haven't kept up, but haven't there been big changes in typing over the last few python versions? Eg. there's a new syntax for generic types in 3.12.

I realize this is a "how long is a piece of string" question, but I'm wondering what cost benefits you might realistically see from moving lambdas from Python to a faster language like Rust? You pay (partly) for execution tim

If I understood right, it's a DX7 synth running on bare metal on a Raspberry Pi, and the news is that they added the hardware / software to use it as a (device-side) USB device. Which is very cool, but "USB Dongle" confu

This is what I've always heard, but I've also heard that the financial precarity of young people in the west is leading them to have fewer children. Which seems mildly contradictory.

And, the equivalent bit doesn't particularly sound like it'd require heavier processing to extract the vocal. To my naive ears anyway. It seems like quite an odd thing to add deliberately though, given they're not really craz

There's a weird wobbly, bassy thing happening under the vocal, at about 1:10. I'm not sure if it's an artifact, or Paul's voice being wobbly or what. Sounds a bit like tape flutter, or like the weird oompah noises on I A
