I feel this really needs fact checking. I'm also confused, why, in Japan, would a Twitter curation team curate for more political topics, and not for anime ? And what's this Moments feature, some way to make sure local news posts

The ML space is a lot easier to get into than before. Training and using models is more and more just like using any other library or framework. The hard algorithmic parts, the math, that's all being solved by academia and researcher.

Quantify "plenty". On multiple measures Clojure is the most used Lisp, while also being the youngest, which I think speak a lot to the adoption benefits of being on the JVM and on JS. Maybe it'll bite it long term, hard to sa

My point was that they're exactly the same as Java stacktraces, so if you think Java's are bad, JS are just as bad.

I think it's just bad online tutorials and guides. It's not any more complicated in practice than any other language I've tried, maybe with the caveat that getting a REPL running and connected is more work than an only static

That's true, but the other way is also true, nobody would adopt Clojure at a professional shop if it wasn't for an existing Java shop where some devs thought they'd rather use Clojure and started adding Clojure progressively

Ya, if you've never programmed in Java, Kotlin or Scala on the JVM before, this is definitely an additional learning that all JVM languages have. But if you're already familiar with any of those, it'll be the same as what you

These time changes definitely confuse me. I agree, waking up in the dark sucks, but is that really going to happen? I'd say 7am wake up time, and 10pm sleep time is an ideal schedule given when we all decided that school/work woul

I've already seen it happen a little. There's a few games, albeit often indie, where they used generative music makers for their soundtrack, saving them having to hire a music producer. I mean, if you've used or tried any of

Derivative work isn't permitted under current copyright though, you know that? Like I can't release a sequel to a Star Wars movie without getting a license to do so by Disney, because they own the original work's copyright,

Thanks, I went and read about it, it's interesting. It is unclear how it stopped exactly and why it changed, apart from making ballot booths, but it does seem to be making a comeback. Still, in any case, just to be extra clear, this is

Ah thanks. This solution does seem to have a bootstrapping problem, especially since "critical thinking" is already a hot potato.

But what if capita doesn't map to efficiency? I feel the idea of making it per-capita seems a bit dubious, I really doubt that you get an even per-capita distribution, it's probably very skewed.

To me, the problem currently I believe is with the internet and how it creates a new quality to speech. People can speak up, but it turns out that there's now too much noise and nobody can distinguish the source of the speech, the cont

Practically speaking, and the way things are going, I think you're absolutely right. But theoretically, countries can ban your product if it doesn't comply with local copyright laws. That can mean that say any video game, movie or
