This reminds me of the last time this came up in some committee and senior politicians were complaining how the app is just full of dancing teenage boys. It’s not. As a longtime user of both, I’d say the content is comparable, except on Tik

As a general rule I think people underestimate how hard something is going to be. It’s a good thing though, otherwise they might not even start it.

The training is not the issue. It’s the reproduction. I expect long term the models will still be trained on copyrighted material, but it will refuse to recite any of it.

This whole thread reads like backlash to the async hype, not so much the merits of the paradigm itself.

If we are speculating, perhaps the extra testosterone is what makes the men on the right attracted to the strong-man daddy figures?

Needing a bunch of JavaScript to make it work, which will get bungled by the devs and break it for people using password managers, making the thing even worse. Login is such a common pattern that it should be just handled by the browser.

Yes! Please support GOG if you can because they are doing it right.

No doubt made by people who would screech at any whiff of their own First Amendment rights being infringed. What are we to do about these folks? Ban the Bible for child rape content?

> For example, a capacitor operating at 5 volts will continue to operate at the same voltage even after a decade. But unlike batteries, they cannot discharge energy constantly—to power a mobile phone, for example. What is this nonsense?

This is a correct, but incomplete take that I see a lot in response to the "market is going to crash, yay!" comments. It's incomplete because it assumes that every housing unit in the country is owned by a single family and,

If the issue is the CCP connection, why aren’t all Chinese apps banned? If the issue is the excessive data collection, why isn’t that banned, regardless of who does it? The most logical conclusion imo is that these reasons are simply bullsh

Literally, any evidence at all. I’d even accept the word of a security agency, but there’s nothing besides the “strong beliefs” of some politicians.

The appeals to authority are a response to the flood of online discussions by people that are confused by what “doing research” means and suffer from Dunning-Kruger. I don’t want to read any “just asking questions” comments about COVID or t

How could the OP make it a higher cost without necessarily having to get a lawyer themselves? This kind of behavior by LinkedIn leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it’s essentially bullying and I wish there was a way to bleed them a litt

I recently got 7.4kWh at $160/kWh grade B cells for what it’s worth. Surely there are better deals out there, especially for used cells.

I would prefer 1. if it had full type safety. I’m imagining some sort of a build process that looks for any .sql files in the project and spits out .sql.d.ts in the same directory with the input and output types according to the current sch

I didn’t know governors could make changes to the law before signing it. Because they can’t. What they CAN do is threaten to veto it and ask the legislators to change it and vote again on it. I kind of wish they had stuck with it and made h

So many times I've wanted a quick histogram of a list of values to get a feel for their distribution, but it's always felt like it's too much effort with the tools that I had available to me. This is perfect for it! Would be

You should just come out and say that you’re against subsidizing the wrong people. But maybe you’re a libertarian and think government should’t subsidize any of the thousand other things it does, like parents and farmers. I would have calle

These are all claims by one guy (Tristan Harris) who's made a career out of speaking against social media. He claims that the Chinese version of TikTok is the "spinach" version and serves more wholesome science content. He do

Fucking USSR apologist. The regime was threatened by poets! Like how could you possibly argue that sending poets to a labor camp to die was for the betterment of the people? Edit: For anyone wondering what this poster is about, take a look

It wasn't one or the other, it was both 30 million dead AND some unknown number of dogs killed that very likely didn't make a meaningful difference in the Soviet war effort. Congrats on getting down to the level of your enemy, I g

I find Copilot most useful for filling out debug statements such as this: println(“foo at {:x} is {:?}”, &foo as *const _ as usize, foo); It almost always writes what I would have. How DARE I steal from open source contributors l

Imo the closest analog to a corporation is a program. It objectively exists like puppies do, but only when it's executed by the hardware, which are the people. Otherwise it's just a stack of documents without any real power to aff

Even if they didn't bend over backwards to make sure everyone lands okay, saying "lose their livelihood" is a bit much, no? These are not peasants losing their land, rather they're highly paid professionals that should h
