I would imagine that more people are familiar with the size of DVDs than shotputs. As a telling piece of evidence, the header image in the article you linked doesn't even include one.

Sure, but the idea that animal cognition is radically different or lesser than ours is itself an assumptive default that science is comfortable making. We should question that as the default assumption. As a pet owner, I find it absolutely

I mean, that's the nature of bribery, isn't it? Of course you want to pay someone to get special treatment, who doesn't?

Both of those had some kind of enforced content regulation and much easier way for parents to choose what their kids were exposed to. Yeah, precocious kids could find ways around rules sometimes, but those are exceptions. Tiktok and simil

There you go again, complaining about my argument instead of refuting it. It's not about liberals or conservatives, it's about ordinary people not liking things and spreading the word, ideally so people with the power to change th

People complaining on Twitter don't have the power to fire/remove anybody. All they can do is spread allegations. If those allegations are true and bad enough that your employers or associates want to disassociate themselves with

People posting their opinions on Twitter does you no harm. Mute or block of you must, and move on.

If you prefer to be a jerk, that's certainly an option, yes. Just don't be surprised or blame "cancel culture" when the people you belittle stop inviting you to parties.

They don't need to. But they offended their main target demographic, so it's probably a good business move to try to regain their trust.

Honestly, have you read his Twitter responses? They are frequently transphobic and conspiratorial. I didn't even have to look very hard to find him clearly calling COVID a "scamdemic" and heavily implying baseless election fr

Would you prefer a world wherein people aren't allowed to speak their mind instead? Stop being so sensitive about people "being sensitive" and engage in the discussion instead of dismissing it. All this complaining about &quo

If you truly value art and expression, then why do you oppose people expressing themselves when they say they don't like the ad? The society you want is the one we have - an expression was made by Apple, and in response, thousands of a

We don't need other automakers to spread anti-Tesla sentiment, Musk is doing more than enough of that himself for free.

Agree! I will add that it's actually very possible to write Perl in a readable way (at least no more unreadable than your average bash or python script). It's all up to the developer to write readable, maintainable code instead of

I would say that "brainwashing yourself to deal with it" actually is a useful therapeutic technique. Often the person who committed the offense can't be made to understand or care about the damage they've caused, and the

There is no comforting answer. Welcome to unchecked capitalism, it's short-term-profit-driven thinking all the way down. In every industry it's the same. The guard rails have been systematically dismantled for decades by opportuni

Only if you view rules as pointless adversaries to be beaten. But often rules exist for good reasons to keep people safe and keep interactions fair and trustworthy. Bending rules isn't something that you should take inherent pride in,

Reminds me of the old phrase, "luck is when preparation meets opportunity". The strategies discussed in this article seem to maximize the "opportunity" side of that equation.

The government is literally asking for that data though? It doesn't really matter why Google wants it, the effect is the same. We should be concerned and we should resist giving them as much data as possible, because when the governmen

Having my job security dictated by an LLM (which is what most AI enhanced products are right now) sounds like a dystopian hell.

Multiple whistleblowers have been raising concerns about Boeing safety and build quality issues for several years, so for you to say "so what, there have been issues on Boeing planes for several years" actually reinforces the &q

Could you explain the difference and how you use GPT4? If all you're doing is hitting the GPT4 api, I don't see how it's different. And, of course, you wouldn't know that your mind is being poisoned with hallucinate h

It smells like a scam, because they can suddenly bill any user they want for a scary number like $100,000, then when the user complains they "generously" reduce that to only 5%, or $5,000, hoping the user will just pay the massive

"Companies employing people" getting replaced by anything is pretty dangerous in an economic system where employment is synonymous with having food and shelter. It won't matter that AI could help me keep a to-do list or gen
