> And why do you think that is good sir? Because on average they're less likely to prefer working in tech. They don't like it, it's that simple.

My only fear is that it's going polute the web to the point where it's not worth it anymore. I wonder if it's feasible to classify AI generated text and images with much less computing power.

I guess I should be out more so I can have those "accidents" with like-minded people. Ironic how we're more connected than ever yet so distant to each other. You'd think it would make things a lot easier but it's li

I did find it disturbing as well at first but reading the rest of the article cleared things up. It's a lot less brutal than it sounds. The male strips "old skin", just before they're ready to molt. So he's not real

I once installed an Ubuntu 17 on an old desktop and my mother used it just fine. Most people don't need Windows. It's just that it comes with anything you buy and most people won't learn something new unless forced to. And to

Oh I get the aging part but it just seems so much easier to fix/maintain compared to aging in other tissues. It's like evolution should have gotten that right.

I don't care much about young users but I've always wondered why the body stops producing adequate amounts of it as we age. Is it because you're too old to have viable offspring by then (with few exceptions) so there are no s

The last one seems odd, being nice is not a maximization problem it's an optimization problem. Too nice and you're a doormat too mean and you can't get a long with anyone. So be as nice as you need to be I say.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever read. If you don't mind me asking, I'm really interested in how you read, write and edit code. What tools do you use? What's your typical workflow like?

You're advocating for a cure far worse than the disease and the disease isn't nearly as bad as they make it seem. You see, what's great about the private sector is that any company that engages in discrimination only harms it

The idea of activists/politicians having any say in who companies hire disgusts me. The average person might thing of them as professional useless people. But as someone who lives in a somewhat corrupt country, I fear it's far mor

Why would I even bother investing time and money in a calculator when I can write a quick script in Python and not only do the computation but print sexy graphs as well? It's just more electronic waste in my opinion.

This made me chuckle, probably because there's some truth to it. I need my manager to prioritize tasks according to their business value and distribute them among the team. Then stay the hell out of our way.
