Replying in kind: if it optimizes memory layout then it speeds up computation. However if you reduce the hardness from 5 bn years to 1bn years it's important but amusing. They discuss distance metrics, which may be sensitive to induciv

(Are we talking about Reddit's terrible videos?) I would have expected them to have fixed the obvious issue with their UI by now.

Long ago I was making node server which served partials of progressive JPEG files, stopping at IIRC the SOS headers. I had an 'enhance' button that worked. :) It would have worked even better with JPEG 2000, but browsers killed th

And one of them is Robert Malone, who invented the mRNA tech that was used to develop the vaccines. All they are trying to do is have a rational, inclusive discussion based on the data they have gathered, but they are not being allowed to d

I don't usually downvote people here at all, but that was such shoddy reasoning that I think you deserve it. The panel had three experts on the subject, including the inventor of the mRNA technology that was used to develop these vacci

I'm not blaming. I'm trying to gather data because I'm having a serious problem with trust.

Oh, okay. Yeah I have made that mistake myself too I guess. I agree that words have meaning, but IMO we want to focus the narrative on people who may have been unfortunate through no fault of their own. We want to treat them with compassion

Call me stupid for waiting to get vaccinated... But I'm not stupid enough to base that decision on a Twitter thread. The problem I have is that inclusive discussion is being suppressed, and I can't make a decision based on clearly

Hard to tell in advance, without the information. Was this a flippant dismissal or a genuine question?

I don't understand what you are saying. What is the significance of either of those?

How old are you? Were you completely healthy before?

The unfortunate truth about IQ is that the distribution is on both sides of the mean. Some people are unteachable, but it sounds like you want to ignore the inconvenient.

Please don't label people as laggards. It is dehumanizing. They could be your lost identical twin who had a chemical accident at a young age and never got the opportunity to develop properly.

I think it's great if something I said made you self-aware, if you think you may have been in error and are asking for clarification, but what is making you pipe up? It seems like you want to be included. I'll reciprocate. - If I&

Extroverts can be incredibly ignorant and dangerous when they encounter introverts. They seem to operate on very simple heuristics.

You are correct, but there are going to be cases where the help should come in the form of UBI or NIT. Otherwise people on the unfortunate end of the ability spectrum are going to have to get gainful employment somehow. We should definitely

I will die with a smug grin on my face that I did not waste time watching ads on TV since I was 22 or so.

You don't have to prove it but you do have to stand up for the victim. Otherwise you enable the abuse. You would be surprised how often people react positively when you stand up for someone.

Not guessing no, but I distilled what they said unfavorably. My understanding was that they thought they could not communicate to their customers the complexity of how bluetooth can be used to infer information about location. But somehow t

I would like to take a moment to pour vitriol on marketing targeting consumers, because the over-abundance of envy-inducing ads leads people to rank status and by association attractiveness by worldly possessions. Ads with pale-skin models

by ganzuul 5y ago
I can't find those ads, but most likely the ads were uninformative so people did not find them to be instructive. Suggestion without reference to fact is the norm with those campaigns.

Yes, that is it. I did notice it's not the case anymore, but do you know if they admitted error with the change, or gave any kind of motivation? I think that in this context, this previous issue is relevant.

A recession is a great time for vast infrastructure projects.

That's some seriously flawed logic, and a much bigger issue, if you are correct. They should have tried an information campaign first. If that didn't work then clearly people voted against it, and they have no business going aga

They bundled bluetooth and location permissions not long ago. Claimed their users were too ill-informed to know the difference.

Here's a spin: Until now we have never had any kind of tracking for how much money is being spent on extra-legal drugs. Now we have a way to get the data that is needed for informed policy.

by ganzuul 5y ago
I got your point, this is tangential, but I would argue cars are much complex than DLT because they interface with the real world in a mission critical manner. The only reason they don't fly is the safety margin.
