To me this is a entirely separate problem. I’ve noticed that when less experienced people try to solve a problem, they have to look up how other people do it first. But someone more experienced has a strong understanding of technologies on

It's not how much news you consume but how you consume it. If you read news from several sources, then you are less likely to be misguided than someone that reads way more news but from only one source. For your example about Hillary a

I’m not a fan of Musk but Musk isn’t trying to make Twitter better… He’s trying to make Twitter able to pay its own bills. Twitter has never made money (except once) in its 17 years of existence. Twitter as it was should not exist. It’s lik

I don’t think Meta even needs to care about the valuable aspects of Twitter. If everyone on Twitter jumps ship to Meta, Meta will own even more social media and there’s no way that isn’t a win.

I bet it's 2 because OP said they used "admittedly obviously AI generated from the hands" and a lot of AI generation makes really funky hands that you have to fix because it looks so bad. So it sounds like OP slapped some hal

Copyright law doesn’t talk about hosting content. It talks about distributing content. And by all means, an exit node is distributing content.

In my opinion, everything has a hidden cost, it’s nothing at all related to capitalism, and it’s the fundamental reason why anyone can get anything done. If you sat down and thought through all the possible consequences of all your actions,

I think one big reason why IPv6 won’t be a thing for a long time is because to the people involved decided to do away with NAT in IPv6. What a huge mistake. NAT is obviously a huge crutch but everyone uses it because it’s a dead-simple fire

The DMCA is protection for an operator because instead of the first step being “get sued,” you get a letter and if you comply, you are protected. If you ignore them, it’s basically as if the DMCA never existed and they can just sue you. And

I don’t know if I agree with the author’s conclusion that you can’t differentiate Morse dit and dahs tapped on a pipe. That’s assuming that your listener has no brain and can’t figure out what the longer pauses between your taps mean.

That article is not trustworthy. It links Americans being iodine sufficient to getting varied diet but that’s not a conclusion made by the source from what I can see. The article also says bread is a good source of iodine when the source sa

I don’t trust playing games with third party controllers and to control a submarine with a 3rd-party control blows my mind. Third party controllers never work quite as well.

Nothing has changed. The reason NASA did that is because the stakes were so high. They couldn’t send a firmware update in the middle of a journey and the reputation of America hinged on the success of NASA. If you are under that level of pr

What professions start with experienced people out of the bat? People just take what opportunities they can get or they choose to study some field hoping that they like it. And often, a few years in, they learn that they hate their job.

I’m not trying to put a value / ethical question. I’m just justifying why data for this purpose is so much more expensive.

Yeah but to get to that point, you had to ingest a lot of data (i.e. all those exercises in the book).

I paid Plex for a lifetime pass a long time ago and unless something changes, I will likely never pay them again and somehow I expect more features. So it’s not surprising they’re looking at other sources of revenue if they expect to contin

But if you take that point of view, there are ethical dilemmas in pretty much everything. Which then makes this viewpoint not that useful at all. And this issue already been long summed up as “nothing is free in life.”
