The decision to leave is a decision to leave. It is not a ‘discussion’, black and white or not. What is your point exactly? Could you spell what you are insinuating here?

Where did you get this quote from? The closest line in the document is quite different: > Kim is neither brilliant nor adequately educated, but he has proven himself highly acceptable to Stalin.

> Somebody always wants to undelete something, or examine it to see why it was deleted, or see who changed something, or blah blah blah. In my experience this happens “rarely”, not “always”. It can happen, and in some ultra-rare cases

My understanding is that a statement can only be found to be libellous if it is false. If it’s true, it’s not libel. You are saying this isn’t the case in some places outside the US. Which places, and how so?

Yeah it would be cool to not exist, and it’s really cool to just give up on the future of our species, and to go around declaring this worldview at any opportunity, especially when some sucker specifically asks what makes you optimistic - t

Talking about the brain in terms of what percentage of it you use is silly. But I think there’s an important grain of truth in the idea of vast, untapped intellectual potential in many people. A better statement may be something like “many

I think we nearly agree, but I’d say you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The bathwater is the notion of a subjective cosmos, some overarching supreme being to whom specific events ought to matter somehow. I’m very happy to thro

It doesn’t. It just refutes the claim that nothing matters.

“Nothing matters” is an easily disprovable claim. I assure you many things matter to me. Mattering is subjective. “Everything as a whole does not matter” or “there is no single ultimate purpose to everything as a whole” are more valid claim

It certainly was a thing. There was a spate of things like this happening in the first couple of months of the war: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60684374 https://www.newsweek.com/college-backtrac

A desire for intellectual growth is a very good reason. If other minds that I find interesting tend to mention a particular book a lot, I want in. I want to get it, to understand it, to have what they're having. This drive has led me t

There’s a newish David Attenborough–narrated CGI nature documentary about dinosaurs, and I think it suffers from something like this. The photorealism is top notch but it still looks fake. At first I thought it was that the dinosaurs’ movem

That would be more than OK. I have no hard rules about free vs non-free, I’m pragmatic. But I don’t see that happening. Apple don’t want to put time into helping support other OSes on their hardware, it’s not something they want to do and t

Agree. It’s a shame the Linux community is so set in its ways. All I really want is decent, grown-up looking Arch Linux laptop with reasonable battery life and performance that boots to CLI and has retina resolution (>200ppi). People ima

I doubt it’s an oversight. It’s probably a matter of prioritising finite resources. Not everything needs to be multi-platform to deserve to exist. And not everyone designing a thing prioritises traffic volume over quality of experience.

Devil’s advocate here. What could go wrong? If you open a website in a fresh browser context and let it use your camera, isn’t this about the same as walking down a street with CCTV cameras?

As someone outside the ML world, can anyone tell me what a “feature” is?

You’re already advanced then. Your claim about “within the first week” is a bit silly. I’ve used Linux on and off for the last 15-20 years. Just occasionally, to get certain things done in my development work. And I couldn’t tell you what a

Speaking of which... I built a gaming PC a few years ago but I never use it these days. I want to install Linux on it and start playing around with machine learning. Can anyone recommend any open source machine learning project that would b

I’m baffled by everyone questioning whether it’s worth $10/month. I’m certain Copilot gives me more than a 2% productivity boost. That’s a conservative estimate (I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more like 10-15%). If you consider 2% of

Where are all these people who are so hyped about VR they want to spend every day "in" it? Maybe some of these people exist, but I don't think they exist in anywhere near the numbers they seem to exist in people's imagin
