With all the road noise and now noise makers required even for silent EVs, noise cancelling headphones are the last resort for people to get some relief from the constant noise pollution in cities. And now you want to take that away too? No

If a parent can buy their kid a computer, they can pay 1 euro a month for a CDN in the rare case they need it. This is a bad argument.

If entering a credit card is too much you probably aren't a potential customer. Part of keeping a service low cost is keeping services efficient. Having a large pool of people using it for free who will never become customers will forc

Did you read the article at all? Or just the title? The article is about bringing gold back to France by selling US bars and buying new bars in Europe. The alternative would be melting the bars down and recasting them to the new standard. T

No, capital gains are simply the amount you earn when selling capital for profit. They may be taxed, or may not be taxed, depending on the country or location they occurred in.

The article even says exactly that: "Due to rising gold prices, the move helped the bank to generate a capital gain of 13 billion euros ($15 billion), bringing it to a net profit of 8.1 billion euros for the 2025 financial year after a

Sorry, this still makes no sense. LLMs don't care about files. The way most codings systems work is that they simply provide the whole file to the LLM rather than a subset of it. That's just a choice in how you implemented your RA

This is one of the most confusing claims I've seen in a long time. Grep and others over files would be the equivalent of an old fashioned keyword search where most RAG uses vector search. But everything else they claim about a file sys

Note that the vast majority of science requires physical experiments. We are very very far from automating that overall. There are some niche areas where people are working on robotics to automatic particular types of experiments, but the i

Yes. Which is what I proposed for all differences. Note that classifying by weight is not banning athletes like is happening in the olympics.

Except I proposed a solution, which you ignored (I'm assuming here that I'm your "opposing side".) Also, there are a significant number of these sorts of arguments in high-level sports, probably precisely because these

Actually, you bring up an excelling additional argument for the sort of bracketing I proposed. It also works for drugs! There is significant grey area wrt to "doping" too in the sense that a performance enhancing drug may express

To educate others reading this, it's far from "obvious" how to classify gender in sports. Checking if they have the right "parts" physically doesn't do it. Checking for hormone levels doesn't do it. Even c

Honestly any OS with real multi-tasking, real security, and real memory protection was better than Windows 95 (and 98). OS/2 was better. BeOS was better. Linux was better. Windows NT was better.

The EU governance system is vastly different than the US, and not nearly as fragile. Even if AfD gets sway in one country, it doesn't mean that suddenly they can do anything they want like you saw in the last US election. My understand

Especially odd as that’s exactly what Kagi assistant already does. Maybe they’d just rather use their key than pay Kagi for LLM based search. On that note, Kagi research is legit amazing. There have been times I’ve spent 30min searching for

So does getting infected over and over. Much worse damage. Evolution isn't some magic thing that gives you the most optimal creature for a given metric. The only metric is procreation. Not longevity. Not a pleasant life.

How are these suggestions not pragmatic? You don't have to use them, but if you need them they are there. From a security point of view I can see many of these being incredibly useful.
