This was like the archetype of a partisan argument. You two managed to go through why the sides don't like each other's worldview or the way it's expressed, and then stopped the second it came to discussing any real world i

Only Fools and Horses, Ship of Theseus edition, wait till you see Plato fall through the bar.

Yeah, how can that law have Mens Rea if you can't possibly know, then again it's the police so justice doesn't always apply.

Technically yes, but the main tricks for phishing OTP codes from phones now don't work with those apps, the current ones involve getting people to install an app and getting them to give the app SMS permissions, which there isn't

The three backticks is what got me, I tend to paste blocks in and then put backticks around them, which is just broken now as it just inlines the first line and does nothing to the last line, I'll just disable it for now and set a remi

Sounds like AI would basically make the low to mediocre end of the business _exist_ at all, it really, really hard to find audiobooks of some lesser known stuff and I hate having to use TTS because it's awful, but if TTS sounded like t

You don't have to fix the greed, you have to add oversight and accountability with things like mandatory reporting that make it not worth doing these activities on any profitable scale.

I've been reading this thread and honestly I'm getting the impression that it matters far more what the kids are separated _from_ that whether they're separated at all. Which tallies with my own experience, in the UK there&#x

I want to hone in on the part about "all of human history". I don't know if you've met tribes people or those living in agrarian societies, but while they do tend to have excellent work ethics and do a lot, they also ten

Evolution doesn't have a goal though, evolution is more like maintenance and jerry rigging than it is engineering.

Yes, but you still have to catch them, and the fact it's possible gives them the leeway to try, when the point of business is to do business, not to catch people out.

The problem with that is that it gives a change tracking tool that doesn't work, giving people a false sense of safety, relying on users to remember to manually diff every change sounds like a security issue in itself, that diffing sho

LED lightbulbs are different from the bare LED's on a bike light, they use blue LED's under a layer of phosphor that absorbs it and re-emits a variety of shorter wavelengths simulating white light and different colour temperatures

It makes sense that happens, "spoon theory" is basically a metaphor for "limited resources", anyone who looks at it without context is just going to see a nice metaphor for a very common issue.

We don't really need specific ML practitioners for most jobs in the same way we don't need Genetic Algorithm practitioners in most jobs either, unless you're a researcher you can just read a book about it and start trying it

That has literally always been a lie.

That would be a particle swarm optimisation.

Because those breakages are rare enough in the real world for it to be worth the choice.

This has actually been being done for a decade at least, you can find instructions online for it, I had the same experience with just about every idea I had when I first joined my university maker space, not only had all my idea been done,

Are there instructions on this anywhere? I get really annoyed at the MDM from my work email, which I can just get through the browser, but without it set up, I can't get work calendar notifications, which I do actually need.

I mean, it's very common colloquially to describe non sentient things as racist because they're based on either purposely or obliviously racist ideas and stereotypes.

See I get the exact opposite, conservatives I know constantly talk about their worldview, in the very annoying "facts don't care about your feelings" fashion, have you considered you might just be overlooking things that matc

I wouldn't say that's the current climate so much as the nature of publicly discussing politics under your real name. The number of people who've been fired from their jobs for advocating unions for example is terrifying.

On the other hand though, it's not anyone's duty to filter their worldview out of their speech. I have the same issue the other way around, where I follow a lot of young technical people and they just _love_ to be quoting and repo

Yeah, they're really weird an uncomfortable until you get used to them, so people just see them as worse treadmills. All I really want is a stationary bike that powers a fan pointing at you to cool you down because I'm a sweaty ba

It's not just virtual currencies, it's permanence and tradability, kids don't just buy booster packs and take what they can get, they trade cards in complex ways, in some cases gift them to friends who wants to play, and the
