Given UK age demographics that is going to happen over the next few decades anyway, putting all efforts into increasing supply could lead to the opposite problem in the not too far future.

That’s the whole point that is being made… we’re talking about humanity - Yeah lots of individuals will die due to climate change, particularly in 3rd world countries but humanity will be just fine overall, just as it was with all those dis

Bubonic plague, supereruptions, ice ages, malaria, smallpox, ozone deterioration - lots of these seem small now but that’s only because we’ve already overcome them

WV is a half continent away, has massively different demographics, poverty rates, culture, history etc. Comparisons like that are extremely difficult to do properly. What we can easily compare is Oregon a few years ago vs Oregon now and ded

No, we should take policy results at face value. If it failed if failed, if it succeeded it succeeded. No need to play no true scotsman.

Not really though it may seem that way. Not all AI is ML. There are a ton of things within AI such as planning algorithms or Expert Systems. Again those are under the academic discipline of AI but not in the subfield of ML.

The AI term has been coopted by Hollywood notions of synthetic human-level intelligence but it really is just referring to the academic discipline which Random Forests definitely falls under and has for decades.

Apple is the worst of the bunch imo. My personal ranking for worst antitrust offenders would be: 1) Apple 2) Amazon 3) Google 4) Microsoft Internationally that may be slightly different though. I’d also maybe include meta for their oculus p

Trademark protection is typically specific to the industry or sector in which it is registered and used. These companies are in two very different businesses so there is unlikely to even be any “development” - some redditors just noticed th

That is exactly the point - who defines racism? sexism? Moderators are going to disagree because of how nebulous those terms are

I’ll second this, not to mention the first class support Plex has for audio content. I have dedicated apps for my music and my audiobooks. I haven’t found anything close to that in the Emby or Jellyfin world.

By that logic no one should ever do something nice because it doesn’t register at the macro scale. That’s ridiculous and a very dark and distorted way to view the world

It’s not his fault we live in an imperfect world though… yeah it sucks but he’s objectively making it better, can’t fault him for that.

Why does it being a business make what he does any less? Don’t the acts stand on their own without the need to pontificate on his motives? He could have started or ran his business in many ways, he chose a charitable one… I think that’s all

Apple specifically has said they will not have controllers so yeah… that’s already how it has played out

Noone wants to use vr with a 2D game controller (a la xbox)- that completely destroys the point. You want spatially tracked controllers that fit each hand and are meant for vr. Even if there are third party controllers that get around the t

Unpopular opinion but Reddit died a long time ago - the world moved to discord for real community interactions and now all that is left is a 24/7 monetized outrage stream fed by bots, shills and has-beens.

Yeah but M2 effective speed for ML is closer to intel CPUs than it is to nvidia gpus. The correct comparison here is to compare how fast you can train on Apple M2 vs an Intel CPU with equivalent RAM.

I agree - basing it off creation could make sense but then I’d argue for maybe more like 50 years. Plenty of works take decades in and of themselves. George RR Martin started Game of thrones 27 years ago. Should HBO just have been able to t
