In short, the article offers: "Which of the three is best? The one you like most. If you like good things, then it's Linux." It is neither wise, nor critical, nor useful. I don't know how people-pleasing passes as having

Forced arbitration is giving companies extrajudicial powers, and it is so outrageous this is legal.

Giving scientists access to the connectome snapshot alone is very exciting. The first step to understanding why something is and how it came to be is seeing what it is. There are systems at play that form the brain into what it is and

Amazing work technically, less than 1 second is very impressive. It quite scary though that I might FaceTime someone one day soon, and they’d won’t be real. What do you think about the societal implications for this? Today we have a bit of

I don’t think AI is necessary here, nor more data. You can post-process these bridges by voxelizing them and carving out the bottom. There are many heuristics to use. And with sanity checks to discard bridges the post-processor can’t handle

Wow, that is exactly what I suspected — https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/11/17225482/facebook-shadow-... . I only didn’t know what it was called. Thanks

That is devious. I’m not sure if my phone did anything like that as it was an iPhone 6 at the time.

When I lived in a shared house, Facebook learned about my relation to my housemates without my consent. I didn’t use a single Facebook product at the time and used a VPN on my devices. A few years later, when I signed up to Facebook, my ex-

Nice fact check, thank you. I didn’t know H-bombs used fusion but it makes complete sense. Hydrogen is not exactly the heaviest of elements :) Well then, for my example, imagine a different future discovery that could be abused. Let’s say b

> These are the things you're supposed to do on the evenings and weekends. Hmm, I wouldn't say so. In many countries it is illegal for an employer to prescribe what their employees should do on evenings and weekends, including

I am not convinced the text means what you say it means. All knowledge (publicly available and not) and all tools (AI or not) can be used by people in material ways to commit the aforementioned atrocities, but only the models producing nove

Perhaps virtue-signalling is recognised more in society now. I and people around me have developed an eye for performative outrage, posturing, and politics in the last several years. The hurting ego is often thinly veiled by grandstanding a

By solution I meant “tool” or “method” to resolve. Divisiveness is not a necessary outcome of most disagreements (political, cultural, societal, interpersonal), and it is not the right tool to solve them. Diplomacy is a better tool, calm an

I see you are taking the conversation in two different directions, so I will respond to both. People used to pay more for music due to scarcity. Piracy makes music more easily available — you are right, so it does decrease scarcity by compe

Divisiveness is the wrong solution to real problems. I am happy to discuss any cultural value respectfully and seriously. But nothing productive will come out of a discussion mired by incendiary language and identity politics, it is a waste

I disagree. There is a lot of distracting, dividing, and just trash-tier content in social media that society is only worse off for taking seriously. Politically divisive articles such as ones encouraging identity politics tend to fall in t

My argument doesn’t speak about the affordability. It speaks about an exchange of money for value. Not if one can spend the money, but if that money would be well-spent. :) Piracy is often significant effort and risk. Not high but significa

You need to look beyond yourself and the fruits of the labour you feel entitled to. Look at the whole market, look at market prices, understand how piracy works. If you want to not have your work pirated, you probably have to do what Steam

I’d argue against this. If the tool is too difficult, kids often lose interest. So it can have an adverse effect. As much as I’d want to teach my 11 year old kid Unreal Engine, it’s not realistic. Pun not intended.

You are not technically wrong because a statement "there is a risk of leaking data" is not falsifiable. But your comment is performative cynicism to display your own high standards. For the very vast majority of people and compani

This is what I meant, in part, by saying how idiosyncratic the platform is. There are many more ways it is so. I am very happy someone put the sales figures out there in the public. Not everyone can afford to if they must keep a professiona

Thank you for your compliment. I think the type of game most healing is the type of game that gives you what you need — good emotions, wisdom, coming of age stories and role models, escapism, or a distraction. There is a lot in the medium t

The cheapest one that is not eCO2 (estimated) will do the job of telling you when you’ve not ventilated enough just fine. No need to spend hundreds to thousands on lab-grade tech. +- 50ppm, or even 100 or 200 is nothing. You will mainly car
