No, that is not the kind of equality this discussion is about. In this case, we are asking whether two hypothetical people who are completely identical in every way except for their genitals will receive the same opportunities, rewards, and

I am a staunch supporter of bicycle infrastructure and a daily bicycle commuter, but I remain unconvinced by percentage-growth figures like this. In many large cities (especially LA, where I live), bicycles represent a vanishing minority of

Has no one noticed that there seems to be no control group in this study? Every participant wrote a statement that got torn to shreds; every participant had to write their emotions about it. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that wa

I really like miniflux, but I really wish it had a weighted post ordering rather than a simple chronological ordering. I posted a feature request about this earlier this year[0], but the gist is this: If you subscribe to some feeds that pos

"It's not the program's fault that it's totally incapable of having thoughts or experiences on its own; that's just how it was made! And, like, who's to say that's what sentience means, anyway?"

Everyone is giving Lemoine far too much credit. He's not an idiot; he's a charlatan. He's acting in bad faith and it should be extremely obvious to anyone who's tried to have a conversation with a chat bot before. Pictur

Lenovo just dropped the Thinkpad T14 and T14s with AMD variants a few days ago. The base model is way more expensive on the US locale of their site ($1500 vs. ~$1200 in France or ~$1000 in Taiwan), but the US variant also offers options&#x2

Same thing happened to me. I was really intrigued by intercooler when I first found it a couple years ago, but lacking experience in the front-end, I found myself cornered in a conversation about it with a React snob. Ultimately, I turned m
