Yeah, right. Just one step from "Based on your comments about recent political events you are engaging into a thought crime. A police officer will join this conversation shortly".

Are you implying that Google is unable to distinguish whether a screenshot is triggered via a combination of hardware buttons vs via a software call from another app that isn't even on the foreground in their own ecosystem? That's

Is it really a side effect though? I think the entire point of these sanctions (or their implementation by Linux Foundation more specifically) is to prevent developers working for Russian companies from contributing to Linux. It isn't

Homeopathy is a good example. For an uneducated person it sounds convincing enough and yes, there are doctors prescribing homeopathic pills. I am still fascinated it still exists.

That's a great point. Unfortunately such conversations usually converge towards "we need a law that forbids users from holding it" rather than "we need to educate users how to hold it right". Like we did with LSD.

You are saying this as if people (yes, including therapists) don't do this. Correctly configured LLM not only easily argues with you, but also provides a glimpse into an emotional reality of people who are not at all like you. Does it

do you really think that an architecture that struggles to count r in strawberry is a good choice for proofreading? It perceives words very differently from us.

How is it different from the cloud? Plenty startups store their code on github, run prod on aws, and keep all communications on gmail anyway. What's so different about LLMs?

How do they convince themselves that other people have intelligence too?

You probably need to stop thinking the world outside of the US doesn't exist mate.

Many music instruments are a lot like vim/emacs. You could make it simpler, but flexibility is the selling point.

Do their opinions matter at all? If you do get locked up, will you find this information helpful?

Legal trouble for sexuality and violence? I am sorry, in what jurisdiction are their servers? Iran or North Korea?

What is the point of not including VAT? You still have to pay it. It is not like you move across the continent just to pay a few percents less.

What is truth anyway? I see it as a quicker version of browsing to web to get a summary of what people say. As you said, with search you get a bunch of websites where strangers talk about a certain topic. You read a dozen and see if they ag

As if a normal person would bother lol. If I was discriminated this way just because of my country of birth, I'd stop engaging with such an organization at all.

There is a big difference between learning something to become a skilled professional versus just a hobby. A lot of things I learned are for myself. I want them to be fun. There is no end goal. I don't want to compete with anyone, I do

>In a work setting, all the shorthand slang and emoji/meme based communication is unprofessional Perhaps that's the problem? Texting pretty much killed phone calls, everybody has learned to communicate over text.

Absolutely. I hoped that the pandemic made everyone realize that laptop mics suck. Even a cheap $20 headset is better than nothing.

To be fair writing a novel is an art. A lot of people struggle with communicating emotions over text.

How do you engage emotionally over Zoom? I prefer WFH actually, but every time I try anything else it feels really empty. It's fine if there is no alternative (e.g. talking to friends abroad), but I really can't imagine how to hav

Why do you bother even watching it at this point? I think I watched exactly one soccer game in last 5 years (it was a final of something big, can't remember now), there are a lot of other interesting activities in life.

Oh god, you just gave me a flashback =) The last time I properly used TF was in early 2019, I am so happy that I don't have to deal with this anymore.

I don't know if it is really comparable. I listen to a lot of music, if any of my top 50 favorite musicians tour in my city, I don't hesitate to pay 50 quid for a ticket. For some I am willing to fly out. If Spotify didn't ex

Or you can just live somewhere else. The world doesn't end at Bay Area.
