The Holocaust actually happened and was the systemic mass murder of millions of people.

People always say this and no, they still taste nasty. It would be interesting to compare today's sprouts to one of the original examples, they must've been truly foul if there's been such an improvement.

Not to mention that it they are, naturally, going to convert $600 to £600.

Mostly these days it just requires that you start to type "print" and then press tab when appropriate, though. I feel like I relatively rarely type brackets manually for function calls. Lisp syntax doesn't seem amenable to th

Yeah, that was exactly where he lost me. The US military doesn't need a remarkable amount of luck for these operations to be tactical successes, tactical risk wasn't the reason previous administrations didn't do them. The ele

This is a silly point. Courts aren't sitting around umming and ahhing about whether they should issue an arrest warrant to get x violent criminal off the streets, the system wastes minimal time in apprehending them and putting them in

I opened his post history and scrolled down a bit and literally the first thing I saw was a comment starting with "You're absolutely right" lol

Boban Marjanovic posts on HN? Would never have guessed.

He's replying to a post that says it's "new, unexpected, and incredible" and he specifically only addresses whether it's incredible. I think, especially in the spirit of "assume the strongest interpretation&quo

Using "civilian" to mean "a civilian who's not a cop" was already bad enough, but using it to differentiate private cars from trucks and buses ? Public transport is practically the quintessential example of civilia

Yeah, it does. Congratulations, you figured out why the future is going to be fucking awful.

When you buy, or pirate, a book, you didn't enter into a business relationship with the author specifically forbidding you from using the text to train models. When you get tokens from one of these providers, you sort of did. I think i

It isn't a restatement of the article, it's a criticism of the behaviour of the article's author.

And the person you're replying to is someone who thinks "The case where Canada must be annexed is if Greenland somehow remains part of Denmark"! The veneer of civility on this site lets some really incredible people slip unde

Flour as you know it is not quite the same thing as meal milled at the time when the words were being invented. Wheatmeal is still a thing, look up images of it and the resemblance to oatmeal should be a lot more apparent!

The conservative subreddit isn't fake as such, it's just incredibly tightly curated and so not in any way representative. Number of deleted comments is a better barometer than tone of remaining comments, if still not a great one

This is a sort of interesting point, it's true that knowingly-metaphorical anthropomorphisation is hard to distinguish from genuine anthropomorphisation with them and that's food for thought, but the actual situation here just isn

I think what these people mean is that it's difficult to get them to be racist, sexist, antisemitic, transphobic, to deny climate change, etc. Still not even the same thing because Western models will happily talk about these things.

That is exactly the point. It's working because everyone is peacefully going along with it. They have the consent - or at least acquiescence - of the governed. That's why they have no issues. It is, therefore, not remotely relevan

A cursory read of basic philosophy would surely include the arguments against Searle's Chinese room, no? It's hardly settled.

Just say Starlink or SpaceX, obviously. When would you ever say "Bill should work on fixing Outlook" or "Mark should improve the WhatsApp gif picker"??

Actually we call them arbitrageurs and see them as helping to minimise price distortions across markets. It's only in a small number of consumer facing contexts where retailers deliberately sell goods below the price set by supply and

It's an artifact of the transition away from year-based releases to a subscription. Customers were used to Office 95, Office 98, Office 2003, etc. 365 sort of matches that pattern, so customers aren't excessively disgruntled, whil

It's pretty obvious what it's doing, honestly. I did skim the entire thing but I don't think you need much more than the beginning and end once you see the point. Which is more or less lampposted by the title.

A newly convicted criminal arrived in prison, and on the first night he was puzzled to hear his fellow inmates yelling numbers to each other. "36!" one would yell, and the rest would chuckle. "19!" went another, to uproa

Some of it's a matter of taste for sure but I found the repeated griping about how it tapers at ground level a truly bizarre complaint. Would he really prefer it if it took up its entire monolithic footprint to the total exclusion of p
