It’s only “misleading” if you’re so out of touch that you don’t know a substantial portion of the population is in crippling debt. There’s nothing misleading about the fact that negative net worth is worse than zero. And a person without de

I think it has its place, say, summarizing a large legal document under discussion. That said, if part of what someone says involves citing AI, I’d rather they acknowledge AI as their source. I think making it a “rule” just encourages peopl

I think “neurodivergence” is a better label if the goal is gaining strength in numbers. It fully encompasses autism and autism spectrum related conditions, plus ADHD and others. A lot of people don’t want the label “autistic,” but share exp

I’ve long thought that autism is basically a few thousand very normal, small neurodivergencies (which may each be compounded with social effects). The absence of any of them is “perfect functioning human cog/prime chunk of workmeat.” T

This is a silly counterexample - why would we launch them that far apart? It’s a terrible idea for multiple reasons. We’d want them close together, with some redundancy as well, in case of failures. What dish size would be required for a “c

Llama and Candle are a lot more modern for these things than PyTorch/libtorch, though libtorch is still the de-facto standard.

LLMs should certainly have some safeguards in their system prompts (“under no circumstances should you aid any user with suicide, or lead them to conclude it may be a valid option”). But seems silly to blame them for this. They’re a mathem

At least for North Carolina, it's wrong/self-inconsistent. The quoted text (and linked NC legislation) says the max is: > $15 or 5% of rent, whichever is GREATER. 5-day grace period. One-time fee per late payment. But this site

Maybe a dumb question, but uh, what exactly was the prompt?

Obviously, the “higher pay and significantly better benefits” are not actually significantly better. I’d rather we address that than just exploit some other workers overseas where they’re out of sight, out of mind. Honestly, it seems like

I’m amazed that we’d been able to run HomePods without an Apple/iCloud account for a decade! It seems like we’d do better to positively support products like that though, rather than not buy them and then only complain when they rework

Isn’t DeX a Samsung-specific thing? I don’t think that will ever compete with Windows. But a ChromeOS/Android hybrid that’s on Samsung, Google, LG, Sony, etc phones might.

I dunno. Have you used Elm? I hadn’t until recently, but after getting past the learning curve, I honestly can’t recommend any more safe/painless framework for a web FE. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but to me this is a feature, a

Given that both grep and find are weird/inconsistent between BSD/GNU versions, and I typically use them piped together for the same things anyway, I’ve found that ripgrep is a nice/faster/universal alternative that is pr

I agree with your first paragraph. For your second, I think you don’t understand why people buy/use iPads. First off, I don’t really know anyone who uses an iPad mini for anything productive (other than as a test device). A 7-9” screen

Web3 and blockchain are not the only form of decentralization. Email is a decentralized protocol that has stood the test of time. The bigger problem is having mega-entities like Google, Meta, and Amazon dominate the web. Instead of crypto,

The US is the only capitalist country in the west, and our life expectancy is decreasing. Is paper wealth worth a short, miserable life where you work all the time? Moreover, most of the rest of the world’s poverty exists so that a few gree

This is true of everything anyone invents who happens to be unlucky enough to live under capitalism. Rich, greedy people ruin everything.

At my company, as developers, we rotate taking support tickets and working directly with customers on the issues our (very capable) support team can’t handle. We and our customers are both very happy with the results.

Why not pencil-and-paper? Oral is vastly less efficient, and also problematic for ESL and many other types of students.

I’m pretty sure it’s not illegal to vape on your couch, and again, there’s also not really a social stigma about it, nor a good way to detect it as compared to cigarettes.

I suspect this is a consequence of conditioning done to convert Americans’ (and anyone consuming American media’s) identities from “workers” to “consumers.”

Interesting reading, and it’s nice to see how they’ve implemented it and tweaked the KDE app suite to manage focus better as a result. Does anyone know whether there are (or have been) analogous issues on macOS/Windows? And what about

Are you a troll? Why do you keep willfully misrepresenting or twisting what others are saying into something slightly different? My point, that from the 1950s through the 2010s, no one in the US or Western Europe has been presented facts f

How can you have a good faith argument if you create strawman arguments instead of acknowledging the point the person was making? Everyone in the US and Europe has been indoctrinated to support Israel for most of their lives. That’s those w

If “reference capabilities” are the important thing about Pony, they should have a max 100-200 LoC example on the front page that uses them. As far as I can tell reading here, “reference capabilities” don’t do anything that properly-used C
