I have a lot of respect for carmack but this sentiment is very tone-deaf. Maybe he doesn't experience the web and real life the same as me, I don't know. But honestly I don't see any problem of not knowing about new valuable

Boudin tenure was 2 years. Do you really think sociatal effects like this crimewave can occure because of the actions of a single officer in two years? Wouldn't a global pandemic that severely effected the economy in a country that hat

You let the oil industry off the hook pretty easily. Renewables research have been hobbled for ages because of powerful lobby. It's only in the last decade that it was pushed to the front stage. Nuclear power is not some magic safe th

How are self driving cars growth drivers? What do they enable?

Seems not true. I worked in mobile security. We had massive amounts of data about mobile apps and the suspected behaviour they show (via dynamic analysis, static analysis, code signatures, etc) We saw a huge amount of Ad SDKs showing all ki

Read the article. You are fighting a strawman. And it's detrimental for a discussion about this article. There's no gate keeping there, but an analysis of how Buddhism as a concept evolved in the US and "the west".

You're not caring about them corrupting democracies world wide ? They not only "took care" of taxis, they also pushed for less workers rights (so they can keep not employing their workers) Pushed the stupid unsustainable &quo

If you mean startup as in VC backed super growth oriented companies. Then this set of incentives is exactly what got us here. I don't see anyway local news framework make big money without devolving to the attention grabbing mindless b

I'm sure a lot of "content writers" for SEO spam will become obsolete. The content level is already rock bottom, so is easily replaced by brainless machines. But I'm more bothered by sociatal effects where art is automat

I believe it means being in a state of mind where you ignore new data and and don't update beliefs because you are sick of contemplating some issue.

I'm not sure that's true. The short circuit between production and feedback (YouTube studio analytics, etc) are causing a lot of the small creators to optimize for whatever fluke that got them famous, and then replicate it again a

This should've been a story that shows how dangerous and ridiculous DMCA is. Instead we see copyright owners double-down on the legal bullying. Bah

This is not what OP said. He was surprise to hear a highly political sermon where earlier that was not the standard.

So you would've preferred they lied and covered it up?

Why do you keep attacking that strawman? The analogy is to ban sugar rich foods or they're marketing to children or tax it. Which is a pretty good idea IMHO...

You got some short memory, republicans fought tooth and nail against Obama and made an effort to have the worst possible legislation passed so they could prove universal healthcare cannot succeed.

So being banned off Twitter is a consequence for your free speech, right?

Yeah, good luck standing in court against a billionaire... His money puts him above most laws, especially non criminal ones. This is ok because he owns stuff is an antithesis to a democratic free country with a rule of law. It's basica

It's funny you assume research is out to prove something. Usually basic research is either observational. i.e. observe a phenomenon without priors as to gather knowledge, or oriented towards hypothesis testing which is testing your mod

And what if non green policies now will make it harder to provide for your family tomorrow? Those arguing in good faith for green policies are thinking this. They are not out to get you, and take away your freedom. They fear all of our free

I'd argue that a lot of highwat building in the US did a massive disservice to the population (maintenance debt, pollution, unsustainable city planning, neglect of public transportation) and listening to early objectors might have miti

While I usually cringe over popular media wokeism, your point of View is very one sided. You neglect to account the exploitative over representation for the most extreme views which is driven by cynical profit oriented mentality of media mo

Some places manage to do it right without disrupting anything. I'd rather monopolistic tech keep its claws away from the public sector.

So now we're reverting to haruspex... The deemphasizing of peer review BEFORE publication will kill science. The amount of noise and nonsense proliferating just causes confusion and lost of trust...

How is this related? OP was complaining that most of these tons of compute papers don't really show mucjg advance theory wise. They say it's obvious by now that putting more compute would slightly push SOA. The comments there add

That Twitter post seems a bit whiny. The expectation that a general purpose language, basically a huge professional toolset would be readily obvious to a non professional who doesn't even grasp the concepts of variables in imperative p
