   I would rather something interesting without OCR is posted that not at all, especially if an OCR version is not available.

   I think it’s not fair that we expect every developer tool to be OSS. Most things that are fully OSS like react, typescript, etc. and even Linux to a large degree are supported by humongous amounts of cash from large tech companies. When a s

   Lots of comments about safety issues. What if anything do we think we can do to make this all safer?

   Right. That said, I actually do suspect the 95th percentile of clinicians may be better in the US. I’m not sure, though.

    The best thing I think we could do at this point is introduce legislation that would gradually make advertising online illegal. Unfortunately, I don't foresee that ever happening.

    >nobody buys an iphone because it ranks highly in benchmarks. thats some nerd nonsense that 0.1% of the audience seriously cares about. This is not true at all. Performance matters because it enables exceptional battery life.

    UChicago is definitely defending the humanities. This is an emotional piece that does not touch on the reasons that UChicago is rescinding support.

    You aren't talking to ChatGPT. I agree with you that the humanities would be "fixed" ideally. I don't know how you do that, though. I never said you should get rid of them. Just that I can't really blame UChicago et

    I think this will get down-voted, but I appreciated this re-write from Claude 4.5 Sonnet as Christopher Hitchens. It really nails it: Having spent no small amount of time among the denizens of Columbia's Comparative Literature program

    I think you are confounding "The Humanities" and the humanities practiced by contemporary faculty.

    Much of the trouble in my opinion, having known many undergraduates in the Comparative Literature program at Columbia ~15 years ago, was that these students were among the most downtrodden, pessimistic, and negative people I had ever met. F

    Would anyone know how to view the patch in question (as opposed to the `--stat`-like view in the thread) without pulling down source or Googling around?

    This is exactly right. One of the things that I find very anti-semitic and extremely harmful is that the media has extremely rarely reported on the millions of Israelis that are extremely against the continued military intervention in Gaza,

    Actually it's quite a good point, because no one in this thread has suggested a sustainable long-term solution for this mutual madness. Hamas without question wishes for the total destruction of Israel.
