Is the difference between 100fps and 240fps noticeable though? The OP said "somewhere between 60hz and 240hz" and I agree.

It sounds like you are [dis]interested in a philosophical discussion about epistemology. So it seems that you've skipped the inquiry yourself and have short-circuited to "don't care". Which is kind of "utilitarian

I disagree completely. Many people take for granted that the expression of intelligence/competence is the same as actual intelligence/competence, and many people are acting accordingly. But a simulacrum is definitively NOT the t

The problem is that spreadsheets are an unstructured programming tool. It's like BASIC with all its GOTOs, index-only loops, etc vs C with proper functions and control structures. You can have a structured spreadsheet but it requi

Seriously, they could have stuck a '1' on the front instead of a '0' and it would have been a) more accurate, b) less weird, and c) more perspective.

I think the turning point was literally when we started booting into Windows. Before that, you had DOS, which is basically a program launcher and collection of system utilities. You could even run Windows from DOS by typing "win&quot

For 1200 applications, a couple hours translates to less than 10 seconds per application. In the age of LLMs, why do you think you'd be able to discern whether an application was fake in 10 seconds? Remember, it's not "obvi
