I don't think culture war catchphrases are intended to be accurately projected back onto real-life institutions. It's better for you to explain than to insult, but ignoring is probably the move.

We collectively used social media very responsibly so I'm sure that at a society level we well also be thoroughly disciplined in our use of AI.

Sure, but it was low-hanging fruit for me to cook for $4/meal rather than eat out for $15/meal. Maybe I'd have been able to cook for $3/meal if I'd started a year earlier but I was still capturing a big relative eff

I don't think they were implying anything other than surprise that they missed it. Obviously not everyone is on the site every day so the concept of a "dupe" is really a leaky abstraction, and all the passive aggressive comme

Is there a name for the rhetorical device/fallacy where you portray your opposition as being mad, so as to weaken their argument by making it look emotional in nature? Who knows if this is that, but this made me realize that pattern is

It's also possible we remain stuck in the uncanny valley forever, or at least for the rest of our lives. It's possible to produce some video or image that looks real, cherry-picked for a demo, but not possible to produce any arb

Just like Amazon could detect fraudulent sellers but choose not to because they make money off of those sales just like the legit ones, and customers stick around despite of the fraud.

Didn't we learn anything with streaming? The costs will stay low until a new tech is fully established and then continuously go up after we're dependent. Just benefitting different parties. And with streaming the main difference b

Oh thanks I missed the distinction between a virtual and regular generated column.

I'm not a fan of stored procedures but this is lightweight enough that I like how it simplifies by removing responsibility from the code. I imagine the computed column could be indexed or materialized if needed.

I think it's even more than affirmation and pride, I think the process is the most critical part of learning. And now we're indulging people who want shortcuts that are going to significantly dull them.
