> I'm not sure why you infer... Your post was vague and emotive, I did my best. Also things like chronic disease and violence are a "natural" part of life but we seek to minimize or eliminate them, why do we have to accept

What's the basis for your claim? You seem to be saying that people are magically going to have more children because there is a desperate need for them? Maybe if government finances this but how will that work economically at such a hu

Most people want more life. For most people it's also the most terrifying part of "the natural human experience". If you're happy to die, why be bothered by others' trying to live longer? You won't be around. A

OK, but somehow there won't be companies who will sell you appropriate hardware and a turnkey system to serve inference? Or companies that will help you fine tune popular models? It's not about money, it's about control. Comp

This is the future, because the market will demand it. I think there will be separate and huge markets for models, hardware and compute. That will maximize competition and innovation. Why? Because even Blind Freddy can see the huge usefulne

This is what I wonder about. Do GPS receivers, aviation class ones, just accept signals coming from whatever location (maybe not from the sky), at whatever strength and reporting whatever location? Also I imagine inertial navigation still w

Sorry, I was too busy flagging and killing your posts. A total of 4 in just a few minutes! A new record for me. So satisfying watching your posts immediately going grey after clicking 'flag'. But seriously, anyone who has actually

Understand what? I'm responding to your claim as written in the context of the comment you replied to. Your current reply is just as vague and light on details so not sure what you were expecting.

You're suspiciously credulous. There is no practical reason to do this and the idea you have to shut down immigration for training staff suggests that the relevant US agency is merely incompetent. Moreover, this administration has a tr

Your statement is patently false based on the historical record and current statistics.

Doesn't mean he's not right. The evidence is overwhelming.

Incorrect. I am paid by the banks, I have no financial relationship with other customers. But of course banks make huge amounts of money from poor customers via various fees and interest payments. It warms my heart that I get some of those

Yes, but there are so many financial injustices and inefficiencies in the world. And it may not work the way you expect. Retailers may favor credit card users if they tend to spend more. There are substantial costs associated with handling

This is misleading. Banks put a fee on foreign transactions, many do this even if the transaction is in the card's native currency. The card companies always add a margin to FX conversions, usually in the 0.5% range. This is fairly ben

This isn't correct, rewards and benefits are not 100% funded by interchange fees. They wouldn't be possible without many customers paying interest.

I don't have to invest any time at all. I just use the (US) card that gives me the greatest benefits, be it cash back or services. Usually I just look at the reward rate, which is a base 2% for me right now going up to 5% for some thin

To see, and to know, is to suffer. The world is largely a horrible place and ignorance is bliss. Also the smarter you are the more prone you are to mental illness, which may be related to the above or maybe like why you're more likely

People who feel they need to enjoy the company of their co-workers in any way are the insufferable ones. Do you need something work related from me? Great! I can probably help. Otherwise leave me the fuck alone. Why? Because dealing with th

Whats cynical about it? You work with people who you have befriended, probably because you have the sort of personality where that works. Not everyone is like that. It's not cynicism but a fact of life that some people do not get on wi
