How about this - US Surgeon General claiming masks are ineffective against the coronavirus, just four years ago: http://web.archive.org/web/20200301001854/https://twitter.co... That's as far as I&#x

I distinctly remember US health authorities claiming that surgical-grade masks, perhaps specifically N95s, that I am not 100% sure, were not helpful, and this led to social media companies deboosting posts disagreeing with that assessment a

Treating content without bias and having some things you don't like crop up next to the things you do like isn't "promoting" anything one way or the other. The moment you start meddling with boosting or deboosting thin

I agree with your takeaway and had the exact same question: does this mean there is a constitutional right to abort at any age, or do the prior legal limits apply? So far I cannot find an answer even in French papers. Edit: actually, it doe

I think it's nice that some companies try to combat the common complaints of poor communication towards rejected candidates. Sounds like they swung too far in the other direction, I'd rather just get an email too. Now, can we do s

I have never seen a keyboard with a number pad on the left-hand side in my life and I have never bought a keyboard without a number pad. I also don't have coordination issues with my right hand and have never heard anyone complain abou

You could easily fit extra controls on a full-size keyboard as long as the keyboard and mouse are not wider than your shoulders. TKL has no ergonomic benefit, it's just an opinionated design decision which is common today because peopl

This is another symptom of the same issue, it's not like they're disconnected. They're able to ignore the elephant in the room and act like the biased output is an affront to people of color when their models depict black Naz

It would. If they weren't enabling current-gen piracy and profiting off of actively exploited IPs, they wouldn't get a tenth of that income, maybe not a hundredth, looking at what other projects earn. Plenty of top emulator develo

I'm actually surprised it took so long considering they were seeking crowdfunding while openly advertising the piracy use case and raking in thousands of dollars a month (now $30,000 - wow). Patreon rewards can be construed as profit-s

Agreed, every company, from non-profits to startups to corporations of every size seems desperate to capitalize on AI. It doesn't matter whether or not it makes sense to incorporate in their product, say AI and the stonk goes up, so we

Kind of like self-flagellating climate doomers who don't think (or perhaps don't care) about the implications of destroying social safety nets and overall quality of life for future generations, right. It may be too late to convin

I see, I thought that was their support platform for people who can't figure it out from their docs and GitHub. There goes my plan to try out self-hosting.

In case you are unaware, it's considered poor etiquette to share links to login-walled social networks, and something like Discord that forces you to join a chatroom with unknown implications (it may trigger a message drawing attenti

You are looking for corner cases within corner cases at this point. I know it's uncool to assign the responsibility of children to their parents these days... but if you subscribe to the idea that every system in place has to cater to

That's perfectly reasonable as long as you don't have unrealistic expectations, like thinking that differences can or must be completely eliminated, as if students are dolls we're playing with and don't have their own ag

Google injecting racial and sexual bias into image search results has also been criticized, and rightly so. I recall an image going around where searching for inventors or scientists filled all the top results with black people. Or searchin

As cool as these look, I can't think of a single instance where pretty slides made a talk more interesting or memorable to me. Buying (okay, pirating) Photoshop might be worth it if you're pitching to investors/businesspeople

"People who drink often drive" is a nonsensical statement. People lose their driver's licenses permanently for drinking and driving. People get high on cannabis and drive too. And people smoke cannabis outdoors, which smell
