Many meaningful change in government policy will cause some people to die. Are you going to tar every politician who makes a decision/law/policy that causes some people to die to be persona non grata? I think much of people'

I'm not sure what your point is. The problem here is that you are taking as fact something that a person with a vested interested in making Musk look bad has said. I'm just asking: where is the evidence supporting the claims for

those are estimates, not data. I am asking about actual data. For example, mortality reports, piles of bodies, etc. I understand feeling emotional about this, I really do. But the important bit is that if you make a big claim "milli

I've spent time looking and can't find anything reputable, so please share links. The studies you're referring to aren't based on evidence, they're estimates. If you're reading articles with specific names, t

Do you have reliable citations for this claim rather than general hand-waving? It felt like the whole news cycle about the deaths was one where nobody critically examined the claim. I am looking for real data, not claims. If you link artic

MovieMaker was discontinued in 2017 and replaced by ClipChamp. MS acquired ClipChamp and it was integrated into windows in 2022. So basically closed, will not fix.

My memory is from when I was an advisor for Google Ventures. Theranos had come by looking for funding but wouldn't talk with GV except with an NDA (and VC will usually not sign NDAs). That made GV suspicious so they sent an employee

No, this is incorrect. During metamorphosis, entire parts of the body do dissolve (enzymes break them up).

What compromises? All three platforms are well supported by Qt. In my experience AI can take an app written for any one platform and port it to the others (with an abstract indirect UI interface layer) with no issues. There's nothing

The former, although the latter (or simply making a web app) is also a legitimate solution.

I write applications that run the same on all three main desktop platforms (typically): Mac, Windows, Linux. Writing an app for any single desktop platform is weird, unless the application uses some sort of specific functionality of that

Basic Template matching has severe limitations around scaling, rotation, and perspective. In my experience it greatly underperforms compared to deep network object detectors. My experience- and I imagine others have different experiences-

Go has some interesting ideas but they tremendously oversold goroutines as being a unique capability (they have since agreed that goroutines are effectively just scheduled thread pools with message passing). And I know a fair number of SRE

Comparing 1/100 and 1/60 doesn't mean anything in terms of statistical significance (you would need to know more). They aren't being anti-science and it's low-quality to suggest they are.

The first question you ask when you read a paper like this is whether you think the authors actually did control for what they say they controlled for. Usually, they didn't.

Treating autism (and preventing it) is not eugenics. That's a talking point some folks raise, but we're talking about intensely pervasive autism, not neurodivergence. Really, please try to do better in your arguments than immedi

The same thing happened before with every technological advance like cars and personal computers. I don't get this weird rejection of AI from a socialistic perspective. Or rather, I do, but I don't think it's healthy.

The clear conclusion from all the articles I've read is that no truly rare books are being destroyed in this process. That is an intentional technique used by the article authors to manipulate readers into being outraged.
