I am aware that this is a bold claim and that it may be hard to believe. I also wish this weren't true. That's why I put a reference to support it. Check out the section on Public sentiments and politics. In particular, that 60% o

Most Russians hold racist views. It doesn't change if they are expats. As a result of the colonial conquests, Russia is a multiethnic state. But the minorities have never been fully accepted. The govt balances between suppressing the f

A ban like that sounds good. But what would replace those plastics? For the take-out food containers a common alternative is PFAS-treated paper. Is it much better for the health environment?

Let's remember that the historical name of the city is Königsberg. After the occupation the Soviets executed an ethnic purge of the locals and annexed the land.

With the amount of data that the social networks syphon, they surely know the age. Banning the underage users does not need any more compromise of anonymity than what already exists.

Click on the tag "Israel" on that website and you'll see 333 pages (corresponding to roughly 3330 articles), from Feb 2023 to today with AI generated images. That's a huge amount of AI trash.

What is the point of fabricating data here? An extraordinary claim about room-temperature superconductivity is going to receive a lot of scrutiny that it wouldn't stand. It's not an average publication made to pad up the H index a

Any large business in Russia cannot exist independently of the state - even if the relationship is informal. Particularly, if the company is related to mass media and surveillance. Yandex is a state-controlled company even if the legal stru

This is a product for advertisers, not users. The users are just corralled into the consuming the feed. And paying for a service does not mean that the relationship is not abusive. Meta would be happy to collect both money and data from all

Haskell is a complex language that would be very hard to target. What do you think of targeting the Haskell Core, a high-level intermediate representation that GHC uses? It is much simpler than Haskell itself and would preserve the opportun

The SEO garbage has been poisoning the search for years. Even before the chatbots it got to the point when most top results are crap. The LLM's can surely make it much worse, though.

I've maintained a Haskell library for databases for over ten years. Here is my take: Haskell is a complex and a flexible language. It pushes you toward correctness, but in other dimensions is less opinionated than other languages. If y

It is weird that the sidewalks are built right next to the road, with no green space between them. That makes it much more stressful and unsafe to walk in North America. The older communities still have the divider.
