Many web apps do not use node.js on the backend, so I don't really think that's the point of electron. It's more that it's a way to develop a cross platform application without having to deal too much with native differe

A similar project that I'm using is https://wails.io . It uses the native system webview and the backend is in Go. You can cross compile to Windows, Linux, and Mac.

No one is arguing that these models are not useful, but claiming they are somehow conscious or even remotely equivalent to human reasoning is just a bunch of BS. Especially for something like consciousness, where humans themselves can'

These were already discussed, already ruled on, and already decided. Just because you don't like where society landed doesn't mean "we haven't explored it" and it doesn't mean that your wishes are some sort of

If we were debating at what term we should allow abortions until then I think there is room for discussion. But the extreme position of "no abortions at all at any term" I'm simply uninterested in discussion. It's not th

You can hire managers but this doesn't mean you'll be successful without learning the ropes yourself. If you are serious about starting a business, learning the management side as well as all the various supporting groups like HR,

Yes exactly, the text is arguably data derived from voice recordings. So they can say that they don't use the voice recordings for ads, while omitting that they do use the derived text that was recognized for ads. It's unclear l

This paper is studying how requests to the smart speakers are used. Smart speakers translate requests into text, and I'm assuming the ads are just keyed off the resulting requests just like they would be if you put them into the search

I strongly disagree with you. He qualified "about the real world." Yes, there are other types of knowledge, even something like math might be an example, but certainly cultural, fictions, and so on. That's not what he's

Huh, really? I have tweetbot for Mac. I thought I looked and it didn't block promoted tweets on iOS anymore. I'll check it out thanks.

What does blocking someone have to do with anonymous dissent?

Mine is this, if you want twitter blue to be at all appealing, make it so that you can eliminate all ads, including promoted tweets. Getting rid of ads is my #1 ask. I'd pay for it.

In contrast, I get downright scared when people are allowed to use their money to pay for a louder voice and potentially interfere with discussions around science or politics. That's both immoral and dangerous.

Sure, but as a private institution you also have no obligation to give a person a platform to talk about "X." The counter to this is why not give free promotion to people who can't afford it? Why are we biasing "speech&q

Drug company bias is definitely a well known issue. But there are even bigger issues with science based medicine. * MDs are not PhDs for one, though people often equate the two. * Things like surgery is in fact hard to test. There are ethic

I don't think managers generally think that there is no loss of productivity when you have churn. Loss of productivity due to churn is a very well known phenomenon. But it's also true that almost any employee can be replaced, and

I think it should continue. For a while I was leaning against it, but on reflection I realized that there is no obligation for me to listen to or engage with people that have abhorrent views. Rarely will doing so actually change their mind,

I personally value opinion very little. For me, the quality of a news source is my primary concern, both in factual correctness and minimizing bias. With a collective such as traditional news organizations, at least historically they lived

The follow on from this is rather more problematic. If you are prioritizing production things, then it means you'll severely limit the topics you explore. Anything that would take too long to get to market, or is too risky, or is too t
