I watched it with my then-girlfriend when the first Jurassic World came out. She wanted to see that but had never seen the originals as she was ten years younger than me. Naturally, I made sure we watched the first three films first. She ag

Yes, I agree – I've defended Alien 3 several times over the years. It does trail off a bit in the second half or so, where it sort of devolves in to a "run from alien creature"-type film, which is a bit of a shame. A major pr

Most appliances like washing machines are "smart-optional" at most, and can just be used as a regular appliance if you don't want all the "smart" stuff. There are also many without any "smart" features. It

Yes, that was the point. To understand what that "0.14" means, we need to know those "well documented 1.0 goals" and some hour long YouTube video. That is, merely the "0.14 version number" without context is no

The "we will invent our way out of this"-argument goes back way before AI, at least to the early 00s, but probably earlier. It's a great strategy that works fantastically well and saves a lot of time and money, except when it

Well, yes. No one ever said anything else? It's just that this adapting will be a colossal waste of time, resources, and life. Better not to.

I have some projects "used by Google" as a dependency. Can I now expect someone posting three threads here in a day using deceitful title if I'm not nice enough to you? Will my words now be misrepresented as "Google said

That's kind of what I mean: reading that page, it just sounds like normal pet ownership, with many of the benefits that many pet owners get. That's a great thing to encourage and research, but it's not clear to me why there n

Most of the times I've looked at it, ARM still seems to be lagging behind x86 a bit, but the gap is much smaller than it used to be. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41925983 Of course the specifics wi

China is no longer a "poor country". And overfishing is harmful especially for poorer people who will be deprived of a relatively cheap source of food and export. Especially the smaller fishers. Somalia is probably the best exam

If you think "progressivism" is somehow on equal footing as one of the worst genocides in history then you are morally bankrupt. Several of my family died under the Nazi regime, and I'm not even Jewish or other Untermensch gr

It was widely covered throughout Europe. And widely despised throughout Europe across the political spectrum from left to right. To suggest it's unrelated is a profoundly unserious suggestion.

As far as I know there are zero examples, CVE or not. I have asked several times over the years and thus no one has been able to provide an example. It just doesn't happen because it just doesn't make much sense. As I already said

Māori is something like a fifth of the population of New Zealand. You have no idea what you're talking about and have starting to spread falsehoods of Trumpian proportions. Maybe the Māori are eating the cats and dogs too?

I don't really blame Microsoft for stopping updates. That's fine. But they're also preventing anyone else from doing any updates. And no one said the situation with Android devices is great.

So there's a substantial difference between "firing towards masses" (comprised of Palestinians) and "firing at Palestinians"? Laughable spin. I think that's also what they said on Bloody Sunday: not firing &quo

It's just not true that this is "normal procedure". It's just not. It didn't happen before either, and now it's happened how many times? Once or twice, I can believe. This many times? Not so much. And this line

Also, just to add, a lot of this generic population data just doesn't factor in the current military action at all, they just operate on the last known figures. It's a complete red herring to this discussion. No one knows exactly

One has to wonder how often things went wrong in the past and just didn't get reported on. Or were just shrugged off. I don't think people of the 19th century were fundamentally better than they are today. Things like (sexual) abu
