So let's make the assumption that all politicians flip-flop in their opinions, depending on what the popular opinion is these days. Given that assumption: If our goal is to get politics to take a tougher stance on a foreign government

If there is one horror I have it is one of the really mentally unwell people I knew when growing up pairing up with an LLM that feeds into everything they say. LLMs are great for truth seekers, who know how to deal with the yes-sayer-ment

We can walk and chew gum at the same time. Cane and stick. Politician who come over to your site get the cane, those who continue to support Netanyahu get the stick. Always give cornered animals a way out unless you want to have them put up

Not for me. But I am in the unique situation of sometimes having to spin up 12 projects a week only to come back to two of them 5 weeks later unpredictably. This means I treat every project like a letter to my future self that needs to be 1

I finished Diablo 1 in English at age 9 without being able to understand a single word of English. Kids can be much more willing to endure not understanding everything as long as there is something motivating them to go forward, in this cas

You're adding nothing of substance. If you have a point about the subject itself make it and present the receipts, then the rest of us can decide if we can follow your observation. Without even knowing what the lines of the supposed co

That's like saying when you grow your own tomatoes you're dependent on the weather or your capability to deal with said weather. That is true. But it misses the point. When you grow your own tomatoes and the store sells only a cer

Bosses always want workers who treat their job and the company like family, but when it comes to them treating their workers like family somehow it is all about the numbers and they barely even treat them like people (if the law permits it)

You get this wrong. The expensive part isn't the tech at all. You can self-host a lot of things on a old laptop in a drawer while you access it via your routers wireguard VPN connection, without any domain renting. The expensive part i

I was curious what the percentage of false allegations are, as this is often quoted as a problem by men online¹. The conclusion of my research is that the rate of false reports is essentially the same as for any other crime (so somewhere in

Well, I did that. And it works flawlessly for a decade now. The thing is just that I know and control the context from which the dates are being parsed. If you're now like: "Yeah ok if you're the one who sends the data being

As someone who worked a lot in realistic VFX I concur with the observation that nearly no game is doing tone mapping right and my guess to why that is always has been the fact that doing it right is just very complex. There are many, many

No it isn't. All current nuclear waste models purely rely on geology and perfect engineering and assume that 100 to 300 years in the future those sites need zero staff, zero maintenance and zero monitoring. Which is of course a "c

Well price it in then. Storage cost per anum times the time it is needed + the bureaucratic cost to ensure it is there till the end of its lifetime. I know that Germany is seeking a nuclear waste storage site (unsucessfully) for two decades
