There are lots of indoor air filters that would likely also help. They also help with things like indoor pollution generally.

You have access to Google, if you think Wikipedia is wrong you can find another source. Don't just pretend you know the etymology of the word better while presenting literally no evidence though please.

It's dorky but there isn't much else to say about it. Personal GPU enthusiasts are almost always video game enthusiasts so it's not really a particularly weird name in context.

Yeah, experience is that women tend to stick together on teams because of the shit they experience all the time on other teams. Mentoring women engineers was eye opening at the number get asked out at work or get asked if they are engineers

Some context from the time: Google was facing a class action lawsuit for systematically underpaying women that they eventually settled for 118$ million dollars. It's a complicated thing and definitely not just Google hating men (their

My experience with private sector is instead of zoomers it's more men in their 40s and they all have the same haircut

Also if you pirate everything you're not incentivizing people to make things in a more ethical manner. I've mostly cancelled my streaming services (I'll get different ones for a month at a time for specific shows) but I still

So firstly the idea that context shouldn't affect people's views on things (like whether a good is handmade or not) just doesn't match up with how people actually interact with and perceive the world. I mean obviously I'

In American democracy winning a single election doesn't change the constitution or even the laws at all. There are separate processes for those things that haven't happened. The monetary decisions the executive branch is making ri

The "Women in Engineering" group where I worked was instrumental in retaining multiple good engineers who would've definitely left otherwise after some gendered issues (asked out by coworkers, asked whether they were an engin

Congressional inaction isn't assent. The Constitution clearly and explicitly gives the power of the purse to Congress (and this is also the understanding of I think Madison in the Federalist Papers and the interpretation we've had

He's used this language many times and the snopes article doesn't capture all of the times he's used it since he has used it since then. Some of the times he was clear in referring to drugs but some other times it seemed clea

Political pundits for major outlets (538, New York Times, Washington Post) reference this constantly. It's mentioned all the time in media to the point where when people talk about congressional approval I turn my brain off because I k

I'm saying demonizing political organizations isn't a problem, demonizing broad classes of people is. For example: there's a difference between saying immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" (direct Trum

There's also a lot more nuance here and I definitely wouldn't say demonization of Democrats as a party is what lead to the current situation, that's seems a very oversimplified take. I would say more demonization of LGBT peop

I don't think it's crazy to say politics now is different and more disfunctional than the past. Congress can't pass anything substantive and needed to change their own rules to even appoint judges, the Supreme Court has overt

It's nice to see Google finally having competition in a space it used to really dominate (though they definitely still are holding their own with all the Gemini naming). I feel like it takes real effort to have product names be this co

The fact that they are still called "Open"AI adds such a delicious irony to this whole thing. I could not imagine a company I had less sympathy for in this situation.

So I'm not an expert in this but even with DeepSeek supposedly reducing training costs isn't the estimate still in the millions (and that's presumably not counting a lot of costs)? And that wouldn't be counting a bunch o

You and the New York Times Company don't agree on what the point of newspapers are. These are always sorta BS but you can just Google their mission statement if you want to know what they think their purpose is. https://www.

Yeah I've been using Go for years at multiple companies and I agree. Using multiple lines of code for something that's so common just isn't an efficient use of screen space to me and at a certain point all those lines hurt re

A full day seems like a pretty reasonable timeframe for something big to spread on social media (I'm not even gonna touch however you're trying to connect this to BLM). Reddit mods are probably literally some of the most "onl

I'm just shocked it was a full pardon instead of a commutation or something. I don't think the US is gaining a ton from keeping him locked up but he still did run an organization he knew was used for selling drugs and other illega

They dropped the ball on cloud and need to catch up and now it's AI. It's kinda interesting how being ahead with data center infrastructure and also AI research didn't lead to them being ahead on those products

I think part of the problem is everyone thinks they are the "adult in the room" and everyone else is the "primates". I agree policy discussions are a bit of a farce though (in a sorta funny twist places like TikTok are r

There are still a million places online people can organize and assemble so I don't really see how this right is being meaningfully infringed here. It definitely doesn't seem clear to me that this clause means the government needs

I can believe it. Both parties are pretty "law and order" and rely on relationships with the police. Why piss off an important group of people for an issue that isn't going to sway any votes. Reform here is something which wo
