At the start of the big war Fridman went on podcasts as an expert on the conflict and all he did was re-translate russian talking points. He's way worse than hypocrite. To be fair, he's not alone, a good half of IDW - group suppos

The argument is not that everyone who likes old russian writers is a shill. It's that people bringing them up at current time can't read the room at least, give in to their own imperialist tendencies probably and it only goes wors

The fact that one needs to google the list and even then may still fail to answer is kind of the point. The struggle to give an answer is the actual answer. This myth that children's ideas are somehow more valuable that adult's is

I don't disagree with what you are saying, I just find it funny that this discussion is happening in context of soviet planned economy, which had no market to speak of, no competition, complete politically moderated indirection between

Interval training is different, it's supposed to spike your heart rate for short(er) periods, so that makes sense. When people are talking about running easy or being able to have a conversation, they usually are talking about low to m

Both of you are missing the point. Soviets didn't have one sort of butter in the way west had its 20. You couldn't go to the store and buy however much of that shitty butter you needed when you needed it. You had to catch it when

I disagree with the analogy. Need for repairs arises because of the natural decay. Tech debt is a consequence of the decisions made at implementation or even planning stage. It's more like forgetting to order a plumbing connector and u

That is not how AI works and that is not what it is designed to do. AI doesn't understand you, nor does it care to - it just puts you into a bucket and recommends a set of products people in that bucket are statistically more likely to

On one hand, the bar for things to be called bad has now dropped pretty low. Being not as excellent as other thing, or not being excellent throughout is enough. But I think the actual hate isn't coming from Go technical shortcomings. I

It already is a replacement. You can make a visual novel video game with AI generated character art, backgrounds, music, run your dialogs though AI if you can't write well yourself - and your game will have higher production level than

How would you even know? Vast majority of art you don't purchase directly, but as a part of some product. At most you get a line in the credits and what's stopping anyone from inventing a pseudonym for AI.

Usual argument is that your solution also "works" if you replace racists with, say, abolitionists at the point in history when the general public consensus was that slavery is just fine (except with internet). Enabling good ideas
