To note, there's a class action lawsuit against GitHub Co-Pilot since it learns from a bunch of open source code with very specific licenses. It's very interesting from establishing copyright in an AI training perspective. Hopeful

Its very simple calculation really. Just look at the rest of the world if you're blinded by existing US system. 10s of countries have solved both of these problems in strikingly similar ways (similar as in similar for each problem not

Most standard bodies have published reports confirming that universal healthcare is cheaper for the economy rather than privatized healthcare. Yes, there are less profits for private businesses in universal healthcare and some vested intere

That sounds like great reason to not give healthcare to all, kick money out of politics, limit politician's reach etc. etc. /s

In 2022, you have to assume a fair amount of activity on popular boards/forums/subreddits/twitter etc. has been purposefully influenced by nefarious parties. In more concrete terms, I do think there are a fair amount of bots&

Why shouldn't the execs be kicked out if they are not performing to standards? Why should regular employees leave for problems in their heirarchy?

Again there are different people with different value systems. 1. Some people are happy with creating more positive than negative. 2. Some people want to do no negative. The practical problem with what you proposed is that now I need to vet

Isn't that the US model? And yes, it's a disaster.

You don't need to use strong words like "dictate", "disaster", "nuts" to hyperbole a normal situation/discussion to extremeties. In the case of COVID, it was as simple as listening to the experts as t

1. Content published on Internet sites like spotify, youtube get millions of viewers within a matter of hours. 2. Many humans aren't smart enough to critically think about all topics. This wasn't a problem in pre-internet era sinc

1 million dollars for million of users sticking around for 2 extra years on Google services is EXTREMELY cheap all things considered.

Its just a relative number. After getting to your stable rating, you don't care about the actual number, you are just focussed on improvement. Lichess is overall better in my opinion, better & slicker product, free analysis, openin

Yeah Judit/Anish and Judit/Surya combos have been amazing for the 6 matches so far. It helps that Judit is a Catalan player and Magnus is choosing her opening.

Gotham is focussed on entertaining the masses and aims his content for folks below 1500. If you are closer to 1800-2000, you aren't going to enjoy GothamChess content much.

Yeah I got to 1650 rapid chess.com within 6 months (starting from basic knowledge of chess pieces moving). I was kinda told that 1800 rapid chess.com within a year of playing is kind of expected. For people wondering, lichess inflates ratin

Don't a lot of these lists allow people to pay certain amount to be taken off the list and remain anonymous?

Active steam users for this game dropped much faster than that of Witcher 3 (which was similarly/less flawed at launch) based on public steam data. So, there's lot of evidence behind the message. Anecdotally, the players I knew ha

Playing small number of openings is a general advice by IM/GM teachers for beginner players. This makes sense since the focus is on endgames and middlegames in the initial learning curve. There's nothing stopping you from practici

> My advice to beginners is to not stick with one opening, but to play them all. Include wild openings like the Kings Gambit and Danish Gambit, as well as strategic openings like the Queen's Gambit. You will be out of 'the book

Forgive us (non-facebook engineers) if we don't take your (single rank-n-file engineer) anecdotal experience for official company policy when there's a public documented case of the head of the department doing otherwise.

Mueller expressly said that Justice Dept doesn't go after a sitting President. Hopefully, he will get his day in court after Jan 20, 2021 (no resign + pardon shenanigans). That should set the record straight whether 2016 and 2020 are t

Why does the title say "An Update About Changes to Facebook’s Services in Australia" rather than "Changes to Facebook’s Services in Australia"? For me (2) is much more readable.

Chess went through a similar transition in the last 10-20 years when computers became much stronger than the best human. Some of her points are valid, some of them are temporary. 1. Professional gameplay changes a lot. There are no more sec
