Because they: a. Effortlessly gather people that have similar ideas but don't want to challenge them for their validity and only want peer approval, which they receive. It started mentioned recently mostly because of advent of simple a

From my experience of couple of differently structured languages' pairs, while the service produces nice sounding translations, about half of them are nice sounding bullshit. And it utterly fails at common onomatopoeias. In addition it

Those art ML models indeed operate on wrong premise that the input and output images are entirely raster fields, but most of them should actually be considered curve fields with the curves internally extrapolated to complete color or textur

I don't get why they discarded for/while... as label1: __for/while... as label2: ___break label1 suggestion. It actually seems a good enough idea to implement that. And it's rather concise. I often need to break deep i

There is such thing as the bus factor*: he/she can get sick, force-major'ed etc. and that will stall any progress whatsoever, as engineers are people too. Plus can't assign one person to a three different tasks/locatio

Given its previous history of breaking and slowing connectivity in favor of harder blocking of government-critical sites, I'd say they should've done it way before this. The routes through their nets remind me a black hole.

Because the people who would decide to actually reply there are likely either annoyed, trolls or idiots as it looks like obvious flamebait. In no way this helps to resolve any actual problems in any meaningful ways.

I think this approach is almost impossible to apply to humans, because it needs additional chemical introduced into neurons.

Meta is supposed to be blocked in Russia, wouldn't the embassy admins block access to the site from their offices too? And do they allow their personnel to visit such sites in the first place when they are considered illegal or possibl

The sad truth is - it can't. Because it's not a technical problem, but a socio-political one. Many IT-people have a bad case of "when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail" moment recently. They try to block, at

It looks kinda funny how from their representation of the events Russia does absolutely nothing while the rest of the world suddenly started to harass it. It looks exactly like USSR 2.0. Also "Benefits for IT-companies will slow down a

That's pretty dumb idea, actually. Russians mostly use local sites. To get to them you need to use either mega-services that all the world uses like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Google News or TikTok or post on those local sites direct
