Iran is a less sophisticated attacker and they attacked Israel on several days. Russia has been throwing everything they can make against the larger Ukrainian perimeter for multiple years. If Iran could keep pummeling Israel long enough for

WebP produced good file size reductions because they recompressed JPEGs and ignored the loss in detail. I benchmarked it the day it launched and it was never once competitive enough to be worth the cost of using it. If browsers had supporte

You’re talking about people who are breaking into U.S. citizens’ homes or vehicles and forcibly detaining them for extended periods of time or shooting them. There isn’t a magic phrase which helps someone who isn’t white and affluent get tr

They asked for proof. You supplied evidence contradicting rather than proving the point. Now you’re trying to claim success by picking a statistical misrepresentation. Try to support the original claim if you want credit for meeting the ori

I think you could construct a stronger version of this complaint as FP languages not prioritizing usability enough. C was never seen as a great language but it was relatively simple to learn to the point that you could have running code doi

That’s not inconsistent: your bluffer knows they’re making something up and is using their model of you to construct something they think you’ll believe. Someone who can do that isn’t going to suddenly forget how to count the number of lett

The problem is consistency: AI tools usually produce output which _sounds_ like the top 10% but you have to read it carefully to find the bottom 10% parts. We’re not used to that because human performance isn’t that inconsistent and we use

They claimed fraud by a single person, with zero replication. That’s both testable so they should be able to support it. At the very least, more than one researcher was involved and more than one ape was alleged to have learned ASL. There i

So we’ve gone from “the U.S. carrying all of the water” to “the U.S. carrying 10 points more, in a way which heavily subsidized a key political group”? That seems like a pretty big shift in goalposts.

We did get good returns but that was because other units did very well. It’s not a given but still too likely that they’d botch AI products but still be profitable due to ad sales continuing to grow. I do think AI has better than average ch

They didn’t lose interest in messaging when they cycled through half a dozen different apps but the problem was they were building products they wanted to exist rather than what users wanted. I’d worry about AI getting similar churn if PMs

Also, I kinda feel dirty criticizing an open source project but Poetry seems to be struggling with technical debt. I hit bugs which have been open for years or stuff which is WONTFIXed, and while they truly do not owe me anything, it’s a lo

You’re right in general but it has been striking to see how much the current Republican response has flipped from what we heard for years after the Elian Gonzalez case, where Giuliani described the BORTAC agents as “storm troopers” and the

Is it really a “back door” when it’s controlled by the network owner? It feels like we need a different term for that since it’s increasingly common on large networks.

Exactly 50:50 doesn’t need to be the target but when you’re talking 80:20 on a large, lucrative field it’s more likely that there are interested people being deterred rather than just lack of interest. There certainly are many reports of so

It’s really telling how they’re just so confident about easily debunked claims. I’m reminded of a retired college admissions administrator whose theory was that some of the men in college gap was over-confidence: statistically the women who

I definitely agree it’s a problem. I haven’t seen any evidence supporting the idea that it’s innate rather than social in origin. Human neuroplasticity is our species’ big defining trait so it seems far more likely that we have a complex mi

Where is your data showing those programs don’t exist? For example, conservatives like to talk about the plight of male nurses but even a cursory search shows that there are exactly the kind of programs you’d expect to find.

No. I was just pointing out that your downplaying of the risks in this thread is too cavalier: I believe they think, as do I, that even the cost of testing the legality of a particular interpretation would be crushing for a small non-profit
