We are just cutting resources. It's not that finding a cure to cancer is not important, of course it is, but that doesn't mean the animals need to be treated in deplorable ways. Of course, it's understandable that precautions

It's difficult to talk about colonies and intelligence on a collective level. They're a really strange phenomenon. I mean we see all this marvelous complexity from neurons and humans... How interconnected are we? There's a lo

Here's a thought. Recently the whole connectome of the fruit fly has been mapped. 3000 neurons and 548k connections. The fruit flys brain is capable of piloting the body of the fruit fly on a precision and energy efficiency that's

Pretty interesting. 548,000 connections seems pretty low to me thinking of the complex behaviour these animals are capable of. And this shows that there's a lot of elements that we are lacking in our approach to artificial intelligence

Hopefully they get fired just for the stupidity that is going around telling the internet about it.

I'd like to interject for a moment. It is a shame that the only way to access this kind of information is through a paywall. It is my opinion that knowledge and information, once produced, should be free. Particularly when it comes to

I don't think it's disingenuous? Gun manufacturers develop guns that gun stores buy to sell to people, Shopify develops tools to track people that they sell to business owners. The gun can be be bought by an individual that can do

Heh. This is funny. I'm not saying you're wrong but don't fall prey to a common misconception: difficulty in a project is not always linear, and the first 90% might be very simple whereas the remaining 10% of the task might b

Does Shopify have a sales team? Does Shopify have a marketing team? What's a more likely and more powerful pitch that the marketing team could use to better increase sales of the Shopify platform given this tool they've developed:

Knowing exactly where the user is looking is pretty good data I would say. "User looked at the buy button 5 times in the session but they did not buy" and so on.

This is already looking so good, and the video of their workflow shows that it really isn't that much effort (in terms of resources) compared to traditional. Of course, there's still some janky effects here and there but it&#x27

It's not out for me yet. I wish Spotify let me sign up for a beta program like other platforms do; I really enjoy trying out new features. This seems neet, I think it would be cool if you could let people "sign up" with their

That's a positive change in my opinion. I'm glad to see important parts of these big tech companies getting open sourced :) Awesome! I'm eager to take a look!

I think this is a very big systemic problem. And it's all in the way things are presented. Think of smartphones and the rate at which "new" phones come out. The industry is based on a year by year renewal rate which is comple

I think the biggest issue for me has to do with the fact that, being really into technology, advertisement has taken the form of "reviews", "previous" and so on. Although I block both ads and sponsored content (with spon

I didn't say smarter, I don't think they're smarter. They're better informed and have a more responsible culture regarding politics which takes the form of informed participation. In fact, I believe this is precisely bec

Thinking emoji, shrugging person (genderless) emoji. Get used to it. Emojis, emotes, gifs, reaction images, these all add extra complexity to the way we communicate. Not everyone needs to be a writer; what's this thing about respect?

Although 94% of gen Z's saying they feel stressed at work is incredibly alarming. For the rest of the people, it's 84% so in my opinion: equally alarming. I think this just calls for broader questions to be asked, just what is goi

It would require some modifications I guess. Switzerland has a relatively long history of direct democracy and citizen participation in politics, and for this reason people do not fall prey so easily to misinformation like they would in oth

In simple emoji fashion, I would use the "rolling eyes" emoji to express my discontent with your post.

Elon Musk tweets are very much boosted. Although a tweet I saw of him on my timeline (I don't follow him) said something about "if someone you follow follows me then that's why i'm appearing in your timeline". And y

In theory yeah, though I think this would be incredibly expensive. It's probably something that will happen as pixel exclusive. And most likely, just Pixel 8 or 9 but maybe the rest of the line is blessed. Although people expect differ

I do get a lot of Elon Musk tweets on my for-you page even though I'm not really politically aligned with him at all (and most of the people I follow aren't either). I always just thought, hey, he bought it so it is what it is. Bu

When I visited the US I was surprised at the ubiquitous tiping culture. Here in Australia we don't even need to tip in restaurants. You order your food, you pay the price, and you go home. Servers are nice because that's part of t

I think what happens with white collar crime is that it seems so distant from regular people that they just are not capable of sizing its dimension and impact. Yes this guy stole, misplaced, lost, billions of dollars but... what even is a b

The whole point of automation is to reduce the necessity of human labor. Automation is not a bad thing itself but people view it negatively as it does impact their livelihoods and that's understandable. This is a big issue, because I t

It would be expected if you come from the assumption that diversity hires are hired despite a low performance, and that they continue to be low performance thereafter. Which I'm not sure is something that's been proven.

The best way to put people out of poverty is public investment in infrastructure and education though. The government literally needs to come in with money and improve the place, people are not poor because they're lazy or unmotivated

I watched all of the series you mentioned and enjoyed all of them thoroughly. In fact, they are all in my top favorites for the platforms. I really appreciate that they had the decency to give Sense8 some kind of ending, but honestly I also
