If you're trying to search for a specific resistor without the prerequisite domain knowledge, how will you be able to vet whether or not the answer given by a language model meets your needs? Imagining that language models like gpt wil

This makes me think of a quote from one of Dijkstra's lectures: "In the long run I expect computing science to transcend its parent disciplines, mathematics and logic, by effectively realizing a significant part of Leibniz's

Do you have anything to add to the discussion other than calling people "high on [their] own farts"?

The problem with even short recessions is that we should question whether or not we really need actual people to endure actual hardships while worker efficiency continues upwards for the sake of imaginary numbers.

1) It's not a given that a single panopticon is better than more than one. In my opinion "anybody can see the data" is a better scenario than "CloudFlare can monetize the data". 2) I don't see why the workflow

1. CloudFlare already gets this information since they're getting the unencrypted DNS traffic. The actual argument you're making here is that a single company owning all the data is a better situation than anybody being able to se

I don't think their suggestion was "just do what chrome does", it was "make your browser indistinguishable from chrome so that Google trying to create a seperate browser standard breaks websites for other browsers".

Then the features aren't supported in the browser and you should file a bug report to the vendor. Having the developers that use a tool work around the bugs in that tool is a recipe for having millions of repeated lines of code that do

Isn't the issue here that a breaking change was introduced in a new standard version that only some browsers implement. Why can this not be solved with http version numbers instead of a method that allows Google to maintain a seperate

You can notify all users until a major browser vendor fixes a known bug without a user agent.

Why does bobs bakery need 2-3 retail locations with 2 seperate baking facilities each for a community to have access to a seasame and non-seasame options We already have a working model for gluten free bakeries where they are independently

by Xelynega 4y ago
The other reasonable choice is to not produce non-seasame items in ways that can potentially cross-cobtaminate with sesame items, or vice versa. If a bakery is jumping through hoops just to make a batch of sesame buns daily, I think there&#

And the allergies can't also be a mutation/adaptation? Wouldn't some "processed food or medicine that triggers these severe allergies" be a "mutation/adaptation"? I'm confused on the distinction

by Xelynega 4y ago
Because people have food allergies, and should have a right to know whether or not the food they're consuming has been cross-contaminated by allergens? How did we end up in a place where the companies aren't putting the cross-cont

I'm ascribing a desirable future to be beyond consumerism, so I'm critiquing an article called "the future our grandchildren deserve" that is based in consumerism.

Or is most of the difficulty in trying to convince people who've read articles about "the tragic of the commons" and think that's the natural state of the world that they're wrong?

That's a question that's nearly irrelevant to determining if overfishing is because of a tradgedy of the commons. If post-brexit overfishing numbers increase, what evidence is there that the increase is due to individual greed and

Oh yea, why criticize consumerism when we can just destroy planets and leave them behind to look for more resources to consume?

It's all you "need" from one perspective, but if the topic is "the future our grandchildren deserve" than a criticism of consumerism that seeks to eradicate it is relevant(IMO) and isn't equivalent to minimizin
