So the bottom line is that a left-wing activist put out some lies in order to discredit Musk, and every single reader of the original misinformation piece swallowed it without any attempt to analyze it critically. And they say that right-wi

The implication is that people are taking money under the table, i.e. corruption. Do you find that so hard to believe?

Euclid's Elements is absolutely not a useful book for the contemporary.

I have a feeling her husband left her because she couldn't stop talking about gender injustice, emotional labor and similar made up bs. He had enough.

I think you are overreaching a bit. The term 'quarter' in 'give no quarter' derives from the French 'quartier', which referred (in military jargon) to a section of a city or military encampment. Prisoners would

TLDR; Elon Musk is a nazi because he was born in South Africa. That's literally the content of this new hit piece.

I find hilarious the presence of a small ad for car insurance. There's no little profit I guess.

DynamoDB is not good, it's OK. Capacity upscaling and downscaling is too slow to be useful. You need to over-provision.

Beautiful. I hope European countries will use their service. We have our own bunch of criminal scum that live all too well on taxpayers money.

Logseq does it already and is well-established. Probably other solutions like Obsidian can do the same. It's a tough market to be in.

No offense but why don't you memorize the songs by singing them instead? I memorized hundreds of songs just by being a dad and singing to my kids every evening. Of all the things you'd want to remember, song lyrics look to me to b

If you need AI to understand and answer interview questions, you are probably among the weaker candidates. Why would the company give you money? Why not hire someone who is smart and skilled enough to think by himself, and then if he uses A

The context of the conversation was evidently the United States of America. If you knew anything about the history of Africa (where most "Black" men live), you would know that the horrific crimes committed by Black individuals in

Around one third of all Black men in the USA commit a felony during their lifetime. Definitely not "low".

Black men commit significantly more felonies than Jews, so removing the bias basically means making the model more stupid.

I wouldn't say the author's style is unique or individual in any way. Every single tumblr blog sounds like that. You could easily create a "make edgy" function that would feed your formal writings and turn them into that

It stops being funny when you realize the root cause of this posturing is mental health issues. These people are unwell.

Scaling in and out is too slow to be usable. DynamoDB is great though, for many of my use cases it's a very good fit.

"Pactole" means "heap of money" in French slang. As in a heap of money you keep under your matrass, or a large sum you win suddenly. Hence Paktol.

The author's native language is French, not English. The article doesn't sound AI-written at all.

What makes you think it was the English? I am pretty sure it comes from continental Europe.

I speak three languages on top of my own native language and never felt that way at all. In my opinion it's just a weird idea coming from people who like to overthink things.

Pretty sure it's not the real pg who suggested "Venmo for dogs".

This honestly looks fun. Too bad I work from home, don't think my kids would enjoy this too much.

That's not really what the article is about, though? It's pointing out that AWS, Alphabet and Meta are actively helping the Israeli government. If anything, these corporations are too effective (from the perspective of the author)
