   I stopped because every time I'd ask a question someone would come by and complain about something and vote to close the question. Then the question never gets answered. I think the site is dying because of AI. I used Deepseek to an

   I'm wary this will change baseball for the worse. Already, we've seen the power game become more and more dominant since the steroid era. You see less of the base running and nickel and dime baseball. It's all about home

   Wouldn't the FBI need some time to digest the accusations made by the University and then build a case to pursue an investigation? Hearing the University has been captured by a right wing agenda and having an adversarial relationship

   Doesn't the sequence of events read more like the University found something grave enough to put him on leave and contact the FBI, and for both the teacher and school to keep it quiet?

    I honestly don't think Apple products are a smart choice for tech savvy people anymore if they ever were. You are paying a premium for easy to use, convenient servicing, and the aesthetic.

    Ray tracing is more intensive than "path tracing". From my understanding, they are the same with the only difference being that "path tracing" does less calculations by only considering a light source's most probab

    I'm enjoying this tutorial so far. Every sentence was carefully considered which I think is important for my level of understanding of quantum mechanics. I'm reading very slowly and carefully. It was really helpful to define the

    I found the noise cancelling headphones don't completely eliminate loud intermittent noise but prevents them from being offensive and jarring. I use them almost all the time and worry they have negative long term effects. They certai

    How could you know if the German Shepherds are food motivated if they literally have food available to them whenever they want? I would guess if they were fed at discrete times of the day they would start looking at the owners for food.

    I was underwhelmed. It just seemed like a summary of my highest comments. It is scary how quickly a site can categorize you though. Like you know the current American admin are using AI to identify their non supporters.

    I'm halfway through this tutorial and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't touched assembly since back in university decades ago. I've always had an urge to optimize processes for some reason. This scratches that itch.

    Apparently Protonmail have been cozying up to Trump as well. I've heard Tuta to be a good alternative I'm trying out. They are also encrypted but I think they also spam you with their "plans".

    It is kind of hilarious the fraud was uncovered by some esoteric technical investigation when there was definitive evidence in plain sight the whole time. "For instance, the "1996–2001" copyright date seen on the title screen

    The parkinson brain surgeries work. They have proven to have worked. They wouldn't do them if they didn't work. They work almost miraculously. The problem is that Parkinson gets worse, you can't stop it. So the surgeries

    My Mom has had the surgery twice now, once for the left side and once for the right. Brain surgery is no joke. It takes a long time just to recover from that. And Parkinsons is a disease that will continue to get worse. The surgery adds
