Goes to show you someone can get a PhD in math, do research at a "world class institution", not know what a middle click is, and still be a dick about your technical writing. Does wonders for y'alls imposter syndrome eh?

Out of all the world's grievances, people who choose something like hating IDEs to pedestal about will always amaze. Humanity is hilarious sometimes.

This is simply not true. Synthetic data is a huge research arm of ML work.

Is this a conspiracy? Or is the mod team on Dell's forums just ignoring their job and browsing HN front page all day :D

Definitely agree with this sentiment. My perspective on receiving more respect in the South probably has a lot to do with being a redneck looking white guy.

It really depends. I took an entire geography class back in college called "The South", and a big part of it was defining what exactly the south is. Some people would consider Texas and Florida to be parts of the south, but most d

Its just where you live. Welcome to large cities. You can move to more hospitable parts of the country where people still have basic respect for people. The politics in the South sure have annoyed me, but dealing with the public (i.e. peopl

Seems like something who has never been a plumber would say. If they love plumbing so much, I bet there's a ton of pipes in their house they could replace, but would rather live in a fantasy world instead where they imagine their job i

The Trump administration delivered a letter to Congress in August 2019 urging them to make permanent three surveillance provisions of the Patriot Act. The provisions included section 215, which enables domestic call-record collection as wel

Is it reasonable that the autoimmune response stimulated by vaccination could do this too?

I have to admit this thread is the first time Ive ever heard someone calling planned obsolescence a 'conspiracy theory'. I thought it was pretty well understood. Live and learn I guess, couldn't let the tinfoil hat folks have

Planned obsolescence is the entire backbone of the American economy. We could get rid of it in one fell swoop, but then basically every company in the country would go bankrupt and then the world. A sad state of affairs. Perhaps incremental

Maybe you found the key. Don't sit back down in front of the screen unless you have to. Fill your day with enriching activities, instead of filling your day with screen and breaking it up with the occasional enriching activity.

If you thought that article was a good takedown of "science", then I'm sure you'll also like this one: https://timecube.2enp.com/ Down with science!!

There are tradeoffs everywhere. You have to assume that when stacking millions of people on top of each other everyone will not own a home. That's not a "policy" issue, it's just physics. If you want to live in city for

You can be philosophical about "improving", but in the context of the thread and the post, I think we are talking about technological improvement over the last few years as an example of tangible scientific improvement, even if a

And in the same way, a lot of science done and published in the last 25 years has shown real technological improvement in the world around us.

It's more of an inference and practical thing. If you want to equip something with limited energy (e.g. a drone using a small battery) with the ability to use a neural network for inference, their system could use much less energy than

While I had hoped Bernie would have been elected, at this point I don't think much would have changed if Bernie had been president. If anything, it probably would've made Joe Manchin dig his heels in even further. At this point I

Exactly but why not blame the people who can't afford health insurance of committing fraud instead! After all if you're dying and have other choice than die or commit fraud, you're definitely a dirty fraudster!

"Deal with autistic people"? What's the difference between you saying something like that and saying you just prefer working with able bodied adults not having to "Deal with parapalegics". Good luck in your future c

You use an absurd scenario, not sure why, but we both know there are tons of times you go to a medical provider where if you could pay less for a slightly longer car ride, you'd do it. But that information isn't even available now

Sure. But I don't run around daily acting like I have a moral high ground and constantly baiting people. I took your bait, and I'm the bad guy? Okay bud. Maybe try not being so angry about stuff that literally doesn't matter.
