Yeah, dark mode is really worse for the eyes almost everywhere. I make an exception for terminals. I tried many times to like it. When I used to have web conferences with my dev team, I'd have everyone use a light theme for their IDEs

When you are building even moderately large non-trivial real world software with JS, you would thank your stars that TS exists and that it has features like this. It's amazing how quickly the basic concepts of software engineering beco

Yeah, the satisfies operator is powerful. One thing it allows you to do is to check that one expression is assignable to a type, without actually declaring or coercing the expression to be of that type. In my experience, here is summary of

A large and immense catalog does not greatness make. I consider Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition to be one of the greatest compositions ever, and yet Mussorgsky was probably not the most prolific composer.

I disagree; I find many of Bach’s compositions to be devoid of heart, just intellectual in some mathematical way. Now don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy many of his compositions for what they are. The thing about music and many other arts is th

Around Nile excludes sub-saharan Africa? Seems your knowledge of geography is a bit lacking. The Nile runs through 11 African countries. And, what does sub-saharan even have to do with anything here? Seems like a weird thing to bring up. Th

You are making bad faith straw-man arguments. > Yet this "world" history uses Europe's reference point [of BC/CE] as universal. What in this sentence indicates he think is it wrong to use that calendar? He is saying

But he is not complaining that we use the Gregorian calendar. He is pointing out that is just one calendar among many, and we should be aware that it is a conscious choice the world has made to use it by convention.

This is kind of missing the point. What I'm saying is there are records that have either been ignored, neglected, or destroyed. In Mali alone there are millions of historical documents [1] that have not been suitable explored. The

Yes, there are several errors. For example, the Gold Coast did not include any part of German/French Togoland. The Gold Coast added some of that territory when it became Ghana in 1957

Then don’t present it as an Atlas of world history. It should be called an Atlas of Eurocentric history. Furthermore, we would have had much more records from non-european sources if many European explorers and colonialists had not gone on

Is it not rather the opposite? His striving for unconventional "taste" (as opposed to boring convention) was probably a factor in him seeking "alternative" medicine.

Then why do we have courts and law and due process? Or you think only US persons are deserving of such?

The Central African Republic is among the poorest of countries in the world, so that situation might exist there. But many (most?) 3rd world countries, like Ghana where I was born, are nowhere near this level of misery.

You misunderstood my response. Let me explain better: I'm not saying what matters is the relative amount of money you have in relation to your peers; it is about the relative claim you have on resources, power, respect, mental healt

It's not so much the absolute amount you have, but rather your situation in comparison with your country men. Yes, I know what 3rd-world poverty looks like, but, in a sense health care is more accessible to poor people in 3rd-world cou

I think the point is: where does this end? Do we continue to build orders-of-magnitude bigger models guzzling orders-of-magnitude more water and other resources, in pursuit of the elusive AGI? At some we need to end this AGI" rat race

You keep making weird arguments. > I am yet to hear of a conspiracy where the doctor makes more money when their patients die. This was a statement without qualifiers, and when someone has made a strong response to it, you now introduce

by prmph 11mo ago
But the doctor likely makes the same money for less effort that contributes to the patient dying, because it's hard to prove the link.

Exactly my experience too. I'm now using AI like 25% of the time or less. I always get to a point where I see that using agentic coding is making me not want to actually think, there's no way anyone can convince me that that is a

I was a bit disappointed by your response because, from the way you started it, I was expecting a stronger argument. I do agree with your point, but I think a key aspect of the false dichotomy is that there is evidence that AI is not actual
