The trouble with technology, of any kind, but certainly here, isn't the technology itself, but humans trust in the technology. If doctors use ChatGPT as a sanity check of "can you think of anything i didn't?" and then ig

that's where unlimited vacation days come in. You don't earn them, so you don't get them when you leave. That's the point of unlimited PTO. Remove the liability for the company. If companies cared about getting employee

I'm curious what is meant by a "preview feature, or second preview feature, or..." in a released product?? I don't suppose they are going to remove it later. So in what way is it a preview? Are they signalling that it mi

yeah, you could invent a nefarious story about how this went, or a misinterpretation of the story, as well as a simple accounting of what Hawkings really thought. How you decide where to draw where the truth is, isn't particularly eas

I'm going to expect you are most productive in the framework/languages that you know the best. Unless you are using a poorly supported set of stuff, there's probably not a reason to switch as you will likely become less effic

I'm happy to read these things, as it exposes me to ideas that i might not have thought about. It will make me more sensitive to situations where words may affect people in ways i didn't see, but should have. It is no offense to m

if people don't want certain words associated with them, i'll do my best not to do that. I may not know, or i may fail, but i will attempt to do that which is asked of me. Because it's not a problem for me to try.

i really can't think of anything that is a problem for me with the current thunderbird. Works stably for me, makes enough sense as to how it works, and has whatever features i need. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

While i agree with you, our society (at least the US society) actively works to thwart you ability to do so.

The saddest part is reading the twitter comments on the scientist's post.

sure, but a zip of text, is a stretch to call binary. In theory you could git diff these and have sensible output.

by mbfg 4y ago
if git sees the document type as an opaque thing, like various MS types, git diff is not a pleasant thing. i'm surprised someone hasn't made a differ for them for git. (Maybe they have, just haven't seen it).

you can certainly separate what your ears and eyes are doing. You can separate what your conscious is doing to.
201.
by mbfg 4y ago
I agree. I see the conscious as part of the meat sack that acts as a witness, a journaller of what the rest of the meat sack does. I only say that because for many people, they believe that consciousness has some control over what you do an

desire is not at all worthless, it's very important, its just that i find it hard to claim that my conscious self is the cause of that desire.

People certainly make choices, and choices are important to you future and to people around you's future. The question is, did your conscience being have control over the choice you made, or did the meat sack make it.

There seems to be a good number of workers laid off, at least in the tech sector. In case you are really looking for them.

Sounds like translating clear, obvious text to what people want the answer to be. Now explain Babel. "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven.... And the LORD came down to see the city

The thing is the curse is only for the loser. The winner can change the document at will. For instance,for hundreds of years, christians lived and died thinking that the book of revelations was not part of the canon, only added 397 ad. The
