That these are equivalent.

That's a fairly strong assertion. What's the evidence for this?

Reason is run by libertarians, who start by assuming their own axioms are true and "argue" from there--in everything--and against/in spite of empirical observations. ChatGPT almost certainly does have some bias, as most AI do

That’s “Reason” for you, though.

It's rich that the author unfavorably compares python's docs to go's. Go's documentation is barely more than API auto-doc level documentation: and many if not most of the open source projects using it have followed suit.

Why would it be considered suspicious?

This isn't fine, because the language used in the purchase is "buy", not "rent". People buy these e-books thinking it's the same as buying a physical book, except they can read it on their e-reader. It's d

You think tributes and gifts of this sort are an invention of Tsarist Russia?

The best software engineers I have ever worked with have come from disciplines with different math focus: math, physics, physical engineering fields (mechanical, civil, etc.). Discrete math, the kind employed in CS curricula, is good for th

At a certain point companies employ "experimentation" (mainly A/B tests) to do exactly this. They measure dropoff and other things, and have targets, e.g., "acceptable dropoff" or whatever they might term it interna

Replaceable batteries and "right to repair" features in general for consumer electronics are things a relatively fringe group of consumers actually want. Most people would prefer to simply replace a broken device or take it to a t

I think earning 1.5X - 3X the wage for the same job as one would in Florida overcomes the tax and COL burden in most cases for which this discussion is applicable. The lowest economic tiers are another matter: but their mobility is limited

This is trivially refuted by the "cupcake on a plate" question posed, above: the magic ingredient is that humans infer context based on experience , while ChatGPT uses a statistical model of predictive tokenization of words to st

I lived in Florida for a while. Between the ultra-conservative retirees and the over-representation of the tragically hilarious on-point stereotypical poor white rural southerner I thought it was an awful place to live. I get a lot of value

RT is going to be a fantastic case study when their scheme unravels. The likelihood of the outcomes RT has enjoyed occurring without committing some kind of fraud or employing other illegal practices is basically (not exactly) zero. At this

Neither. Parents routinely send their kids to school with prohibited food items, including sweets and various products with nuts. I'm not allowed this privilege because of the extra scrutiny already on my kids due to their conditions.

You're conflating a number of completely unrelated items, at least: individual motivations, catalysts, and the broad-strokes reasons a group fights in a war. The civil war was fought because the southern states wanted to maintain their

I absolutely hate not having peanut butter as an ingredient for my kids' lunches and snacks because the school forbids anything with peanuts in foods they bring to school. I understand the struggle of having a kid with special needs in

The context is important: southern states were fighting specifically for the right to continue to enslave people. Any argument that doesn't focus on slavery in the context of the civil war we had isn't valid, or at least is incomp

Which is what this scenario was.

Freedoms can't defend themselves, because they're abstract and subjective. Human beings decide what freedoms other human beings have, collectively and by various means with varying efficacy, such as use of force, tacit agreement,

It isn't, though, and in fact often such referendums can't be funded through taxes because of referendums like the other one in the comment you responded to. So what happens is other programs suffer.

Two reasons come to mind, and both applied in my case last year: 1. Diversification: the vast majority of individuals owning pre-IPO shares almost certainly hold options, and in tech companies at least where regular employees get these opti

I think you meant to respond to the parent of my comment. I didn’t suggest either group I noted was right (or wrong).

Without offering my personal view on the matter: there are individuals who believe that social networks, such as Twitter, have a non-trivial impact on public life (e.g., through political influence). These individuals likely believe they ar

It’s unlikely a structure this size has a temperature uniform enough consistently over time to avoid thermal fatigue.

Settlement of the building it's housed in, temperature variations (things contract and expand as temperature changes), random impacts and vibrations (e.g., road traffic, heavy construction nearby), and so on. All of these contribute to

I'm not defending Oracle here--far from it, as their sales and follow-up audits when you ask for support are purely predatory--but a tiny fraction of companies are in a business where "hire developers" is a feasible or reason

Or you just haven't undergone an Oracle audit yet. From what I saw, their business model is entirely predatory.

Near future? The internet is cesspool of mediocre and terrible content already. AI is going to have an impact on art and everything else in general. Artists may (and likely will be forced) to adapt to/adopt its use.
