Tbh I don't share the sentiment that the community appreciates long SW support. Otherwise we'd see Windows being recommended over Linux more often.

I agree, it is damaging especially when you don't have a wealthy relative to fall back on. I spent 3 years trying to keep a startup afloat after graduating from college. Most of my peers own a (some of them multiple) house now. I have

The first paper I opened from this list has whole related work section copy-pasted from chat GPT response. It implies that the authors did not care to thoroughly review related work. They basically didn't read any papers. If you try to

So many students on every level of higher education, probably even starting from high school, are now using chat GPT. Does this make education a crime?

Blows my mind that people consider using ChatGPT for serious applications. I mean it's fine as a code autocorrect/autocomplete tool as in GitHub copilot. But it should not replace the code itself. You encounter a bug in the code,

If you live at a place with decent public transport, you'll ditch cars first thing. That's the biggest argument against cars.

Yes, infrastructure is more more important, and railway infrastructure is much more sustainable to maintain in long term.

Phone has become much more than a caller. It's become a cybernetic extension of our self, and are even used to validate our identity.

You need lot more lbs of cars to move 120k lbs of passengers, that's the argument in favor of trains.

Agreed. A lot of the things that we humans do are not economically valuable. Yet, those help us survive, evolve and thrive as human being and the most intelligent species known to us.

Thanks for the explanation. One more reason I won't touch an EV with a pole in near future.

I have a hard time figuring this out too. I have resorted to looking at benchmark scores for comparing mobile CPUs.

I have had more than a few "smart" people reiterate that they like suggested contents and they want suggestions to get better, at the cost of privacy. So yeah I agree with the author here.

You are coming up with some really spectacular arguments. We don't have to go as far as JK Rowling or Bill Gates. There's a billionaire Harvard alumni on Twitter using his "free speech" to harass and doxx Harvard grad st

What's happening here is plain for everyone to see. IDF has much much more resources, power and influence to suppress the free speech of individuals. You are using IDF's right to free speech as a way to justify the suppression.

High-income, low-density suburban areas are actually economically sustained and subsidized by low-income, high-density downtown areas. This is why residents of such areas should not be the sole voice of democracy here. Source: https:/

Not every university operates the same way. My impression in Georgia was that there were just to many students and staff with issues, and just too few staff to take care of those issues. Sometimes at the beginning of the semester it's

I think the amount of money that was bankrolled into Twitter is sustaining the impression of survival. For me the most useful part of Twitter was real time news trends. I don't even open that tab anymore. Next most useful thing was the
