Forza is a game, the background being distracting or not isn't a real problem. On Windows 11 however there is some transparency effect here and there and it's indeed very annoying when a window change color because of what is behi

With modern js stacks being somewhat compiled anyway, and the backend often being C# or Java I don't think that case is very applicable. Not to mention developers logging on production servers and making whatever changes they want bein

Yes. It's really weird that posters here find it so hard to believe in people looking at their situation and making their own opinions without external influence. I don't need Russians or anyone else to see that my state is steali

I agee with this view. Generative AI robs us of something (thinking, practicing) which is the long term ability to practice a skill and improve oneself in exchange of an immediate (often crappy) result. Embeddings is a tech that can help us

Vaccines tested properly yes. Experimental injections using a tech that never even worked in mice on the other hand has every reason to fail when experimented on humans. Btw at the time relatives pressured me to take the science juice I mad

The only ML improvements I noticed and use in my Apple products in year is Chinese text OCR in images, and Chinese handwritten recognition on ipad with pencil. Nothing in Apple Intelligence is making me bat an eye.

In a way the school system teach people to fear not knowing something, because at an exam it mean getting a bad grade. At work, it is also often frown upon. This is indeed a problem in science since the goal is precisely to find more about

You don't need to look as far as Vietnamese Wikipedia to see ideology creeping in. I noticed weirdly forced extreme-left concepts in a lot of French and English pages, to the point it lowered my trust in the whole website.

For me it's me PhD thesis. It's a drug, and there's always something to do either on the code or writing or reading. I'm even a bit disappointed by Space Age.

Yes, you run the company. IIRC the visa is about management not investment and the company is expected to be profitable for the visa to be renewed. That's quite a different bunch of requirements than just buying a visa and sleeping on

No you just need your residence card, fill a form, sign (no hanko required) and you can open a bank account at the Post Bank. At least that's how it went 10 years ago as a student. It's easier to open an account as a foreigner the

It's crazy how good Windows 7 was and how hostile were any subsequent releases. I bet most people would be fine with a Windows 7 Eternal Edition.
