But "employment" is tracked as a binary, not as a "number of jobs someone is working". So if person A takes 3 jobs just to get by, there are fewer jobs left for person B. (Not quite 2 jobs less, because it's not p

...What? Opposite ends? The Shift key is right next to the / key. The Command key is one key away. Even on laptop keyboards. I can trivially chord Cmd-Shift-/ with my right hand.

To a large extent, I believe it's a holdover from the earliest days of the Mac, when the mouse was brand-new, and many developers had to essentially be forced to even support it, let alone treat it as a first-class interface device.

The "few" I'm talking about are the politicians who pushed for the referendum, and the politicians and media execs that cheerfully portrayed it as if Brexit was going to cause Europe to give the UK everything it wanted with z

Hm, which is worse: An entire country of millions of people suffers from the shortsighted actions of a few with reduced quality of products, increased prices, worse access to other countries, and a host of other problems... ...or we have to

There are very few accessibility features that increase usability across the board for everyone. If they did, they'd just be called "features". Disabling high-contrast display makes the colors more aesthetically pleasing. Dis

Do you think that the way a jury trial works is that they call the jury into the room, show them a few screenshots, and then immediately say "right, time to give your verdict!"? If this were ever to go to a jury trial, both side

Do you understand what the difference between "creation" and "release" is? And which one actually involves inspiration...?

Yeah; notice that "on behalf of": Microsoft isn't even the one filing this, they've outsourced their enforcement and may not even have known about this before it blew up.

It favours large copyright holders, with deep pockets and ranks of lawyers on retainer, over small copyright holders.

That's...straight-up false. Unless you have some source for this, you're just lying here. Yes, it's inspired by Minecraft. The screenshots are of voxel-based survival crafter games you can build with their platform. The textu

Benefits which are laborious to apply for, many who should don't qualify, structured to make you feel ashamed of having them, and getting cut repeatedly by the GOP.

It means we live in a world (especially in the US) where if you aren't earning money, you die within months. Unless you are one of the tiny fraction of people who have enough wealth to live without an earned income—like the heads of

This is not true in all jurisdictions. Some places have been smart enough to see through this transparent legal fiction and declare Uber drivers to be employees, with Uber having all the relevant responsibilities toward them.

This is absolutely untrue. Sure, there are autistic and ADHD traits that are primarily a problem because of the structure of our modern society. But just you try being severely ADHD, and ending up with your yogurt going bad on the counter

There is no actual "news" about that, because it is, and always has been, bullshit. People talk about it every time Apple releases a new major OS update with UI changes that make macOS and iOS look similar, or a new laptop form fa

This is an extremely common fallacy I've seen lots and lots of people fall into with respect to LLMs. In nearly every case, they use the fact that "some humans can't do X" to claim that LLMs are, in fact, basically con

You are indulging in a Black And White Fallacy here. UBI doesn't mean no one works. It means no one has to work just to live. And even if you want to ignore the actual scholarly research on the subject (which is ample), we have plent

It's a bit less of a worry for me, because Trump is going to die before too many more years go by (like, just of old age; man's not young or healthy). At that point, there's going to be a huge shakeup in the Republican Pa

This is utterly untrue. The Democratic Party has been the left-wing party since around the turn of the 20th century. Yes, there was a flip, but it was (roughly) under Teddy Roosevelt. Not Franklin Roosevelt.

Yeah? "By law?" They also must pay their employees overtime "by law". And not require them to work when clocked out "by law". And give them a certain amount of breaks "by law". How many of these laws

The LLM doesn't "know" anything, can't reason about its own knowledge, and has no self-awareness. It has training data, and it can use your prompts to synthesize that training data into probable continuations or response
