The reason is that.. it's not, actually! Like, individual websites might do their own weird takes and have their own design systems which are mistaken for 'material design', but I don't think you can fault Google for mak

That makes sense. I guess I just had a different approach when I played the other games. The way I organized in other factory games is that the considerations of input and output were things that I thought of upfront - I never eyeballed and

I've played other factory-building games, but not Factorio, so I'm not familiar with the bus-building paradigm. I feel like you're saying that buses would incentivize bad practices, but at the same time I don't see what

The reason why I said it sounded that way to me is that the 'intelligence' part in AI was never meant to imply some kind of superhuman ability. I highlighted the age of the field to point out precisely that judging any AI systems

Yes, I agree that the rise of gAI has had a major impact on this, but the fact that the meaning of AI in CS and AI in sci-fi are different was also very apparent before all this happened. Marketing and finance people have been trying to ass

Who said anything about matching human intelligence though? If that's the reference point, then nothing in the field of AI has ever had the 'right' to be called that. Computer vision, ML-based optimization of anything or rank

Isn't "prejudice" a better word? It's the base underlying idea of assuming some bad quality about an individual based on their membership in a group that they can't change. It's just strange for me when one &#x

But nowhere in the original post was there a mention of "thinking like a human". The poster said that these systems, at their core, emulate human behaviors. Writing is a human behavior - as are all the things that are requirements

Artificial intelligence is a generic term for a very broad field that has existed for like 50-70 years, depending on who you ask. 'Intelligence' isn't praise or endorsement. I think it's a succinct word that does the job

I'm not the same person as above, but I feel the same sentiment. There's no hard data, but the pattern of behavior is far too consistent for me to write it off. Plenty of political articles that make it through, but specifically t

Brave is definitely not a 'tier 1' browser in any world. Their whole existence had been mired in controversy after controversy[1], lots of these incidents involving privacy and general shady behavior. Arc is kind of promising, but

I know this is late and likely won't be read, but I have a few objections to what you said. First of all, not all NSFW transactions are created equal. A person subscribing to a website, a person buying a physical product, and a person

I don't particularly like crypto (mainly due to inefficiencies being common and it being a breeding ground for all sorts of grifters), but this argument doesn't convince me. Like... what ratio of legal-to-illegal transactions is p

The squeeze on any content that religious people find 'yucky' is double-pronged in the US - encouraged both by governments and businesses. Paypal, Visa, Mastercard et al are given complete discretion over what transactions they ca

Kind of doubtful that this was intentional, unless it was done by some one employee and somehow wasn't spotted. American tech is rolling out the red carpet for the current US admin, and I don't think Apple is going to be an except

Seems like more of the usual - though the complaints in the article are scattered all over through time. But it's following a general theme we're all used to - inconveniencing power users and reducing user choice, tripling down on

I think there are many companies that are trying to do something like this. But I'm pretty certain Amazon specifically didn't license their own technology to others.

The "overly moralising cancel culture" statement doesn't really prove anything here. "overly moralising" just says that you seem to disagree with all arguments based on 'too much morals', with no justifica

That's insane. I was vaguely aware that the American system that has grown over the 250-year old foundation was getting rusty, but I never knew it has taken such a dark turn. How far can you take the "precise case" thing then

Not all analogue clocks smoothly move the minute hand to show progress in the current minute. Many of them tick over, truncating the information to the minute like what digital clocks do.

The reason why this is a difficult problem is that physically emulating the flicker requires emulating the beam and phosphor decay, which necessitates a far higher refresh rate than just the input refresh rate. You'd need cutting-edge

Any such tools that are worth their salt have their code posted publicly, you can check it yourself. Most of it isn't some groundbreaking stuff, a lot can be stripped out by just changing registry values and other deeply-ingrained sett

If Recall is all that needs to be fixed, it can just be disabled pretty easily from systems that have it (I presume that most don't, and it doesn't even exist on my current Windows PC). LTSB/LTSC is very much viable for busin

Looking at all the articles about this issue, this seems to be more about a bug in the Windows cleanup tool that lets the user delete old update files. Maybe the tool isn't working properly, or it's flagging update files as deleta

I don't think it's that bad, the duration is certainly not enumerated in hours, at least on Windows. It depends on how high a standard you have, but since other people were long aware of the issue, third-party scripts and software
