I'm not saying they wouldn't like to try that, but I'm not sure exactly how that may happen. Do you think flooding the zone with shit will work? If they actively rig the next elections do you think that any attempt to point t

Menumeters still works for me on the latest MacOS (actually it's some fork of menumeters) What does this have that menumeters hasn't?

That's a problem for sure. But why would that argument play in favour china which would be even less constrained by licenses / copyright ?

As with many other words, trust means different things, so you're not wrong

I believe Slovenian is the only living official Slavic language that still retains this feature. EDIT: I know that some dialects of coastal croatian still retain this feature. But there may be more

It looks like if the stuff you read online, written by people who need to optimize for various metrics of which objectivity is not among the top ones, shapes the perception of reality

OTOH I'd love to have a model trained to address XY problems. Of course ideally you should be able to ignore that suggestion and force an actual response

It's interesting that despite all these real issues you're pointing out a lot of people nevertheless are drawn to interact with this technology. It looks as if it touches some deep psychological lever: have an assistant that can

And probably there are other people in jail convicted using the same method that just were unlucky enough to not have a bulletproof alibi?

Sometimes it feels like people think: "Yeah what's the point of learning how to make things when you can buy cheap things made in a factory in china by some low skill people. If they can make that stuff so cheap it must not be wor

Complex type parameters make explicit typing highly impractical to be used all the times I like rust's approach in that it allows a mixture of explicit types and type inference using placeholders For example: "let x : Result<Fo

I think you can reach more people if you condemn violence and also condemn injustice. It's not a zero sum game. It's not either be with Luigi or be with healthcare CEOs. That's insane. Let's not fall into this trap. This

Your concerns and your rage are legitimate and I understand them. But you're also privileged to not be born and live in a country that has been torn by civil war. You're very lucky to live in a part of the world where however hard

I think your anger is deeply misplaced. Profiteering on the lives of other people is morally repugnant so it's very natural for human beings to be angry at people who are directly involved and thus bear some responsibility. The anger i

It's possible. I don't know. Sometimes people just come up with the same ideas over and over. Classic example is the pyramid structures around the world. The fact that people found that it's easy to pile rocks that way in ord

I guess the connection is that when you're far away from home you can project an aura of confidence/respectability that you may not have at home where people know you since the days you were not yet an expert. Of course people can

Fwiw food and lack thereof modifies behaviour too.

My point was that censorship is not the right way to describe what's going on. We all have different ways to behave in different social environments. That applies to many things including language (for example swearing). We have the ag
