It’s still nothing like what we saw from say 2000-2010. I’m not sure exactly where the diminishing returns are given how much more powerful hardware is relative to a decade ago, been graphics development really has been disappointing. Maybe

That isn't less damning than it sounds. Whether it was overt or 'accidentally' (as in your case) the data is still unreliable, which is the point.

This article might be interesting but I wouldn’t know because the writing is horrendously obnoxious.

I agree with you, except your points about universities. Colleges are funded by government funds - both State and Federal, and hence to that extent SHOULD be held to the same standards of free speech as government agencies. Now if Stanford

Well unfortunately for you (but very fortunately for me and I daresay the vast majority of others) we live in a society that at least in theory has respect for the rule of law. Best of luck with that attitude in your life, sir.

It doesn't matter whether society wants it or not to the extent that it is a Constitutionally enshrined right - that's the entire point of this letter. The fact you're still saying this indicates you didn't read the lett

Wow, props to the Dean - I truly hope this will mark a turning point in how free speech has been treated recently.

Turns out a person being something you dislike has no direct bearing on the quality of their writing and storytelling. If you can’t appreciate the latter on account of the former, that’s your problem.

It should. People ought to have a right to go, again, into public spaces and mind their business. They should be free to go about without being accosted or harangued or, for example, inconvenienced because people have chained themselves to

Just ban this clown outright. If somebody has a prodigious history of not playing by the rules, there is no reason to think they'll ever reform, and it isn't worth the reputational damage to the game both within (Magnus) and witho

They should be banned, and not because people are automatons, but because advertisements are invariably objectively distracting and increasingly garish as firms attempt to outcompete one another for attention. It's really just a questi

Interesting perspective from you, particularly as I'm at uni and my close friends circle is probably 75% Chinese. Two of those friends were back in China visiting in December 2019 and January 2020. One of them was in Shanghai and was t

Not in the US, nor am I a particular fan of the US or US foreign policies. I also think Trump's IQ is sub 90. This was still a massive Chinese fuckup IMO, with the local CCP in Wuhan implicated in particular.

As you alluded to, unfortunately we aren't even left with gaudy corporatism. It's just an SEO shitshow now. For certain searches, Google is basically useless. It's the same fucking content copy pasted across 15 results.
