He was saying it would've been easy for the shooter in question (ie, a random 20-year old). Mind you, that former sniper was also a Republican congressman so I would not be surprised if he was just using the opportunity to build the Tr

A former sniper said on CNN that it should've been so easy to hit from such a short distance that it could only have been "divine intervention" that saved Trump.

As a motorcyclist I wish jaywalking was a crime in my country. Here people step out in front of you out of nowhere. A collision with a pedestrian would ruin my year at least if it didn't kill me.

Maybe these AI Apocalypse articles published for general consumption would be justified if there were any signs whatsoever that we were on a path towards AGI but there are none, are there? Even the best we have today are still just machines

That link is about the risks of AGI, which doesn't exist, and there's no reason to believe that it ever will exist. (If I'm wrong about AGI then I'm open to being convinced, but that's a different conversation as th

Big projects have complicated builds. Here is just one file out of dozens (or hundreds?) that make up Qt's build: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/cmake/QtModuleHel... .

But did they manage to keep their prices low? (And those who employed hardware mitigations wouldn't have a problem with user:hardware ratios, would they?)
