> Not requiring the cooperation of developers to opt-in, for starters. This is a good point. My initial thought is that the developers would know best what features their application needs? Furthermore, it's work that every user ben

I love the "white = generic = bland" meme too. All the science and literature before 1930 it was trained on is also likely "generic white guys".

I'm assuming this is a question in good faith. Economists argue markets are efficient because of the incentive structure they place on actors. There is a plethora of writing about government inefficiencies due to not having these. It

Awesome work! I noticed that they are about as long and complex as the C versions. In early C++/STL days part of the pitch was reimplementing core utils in a much more concise way. In wonder if the is a result of focusing on that appli

Cheating is a human problem. The technology just makes us feel in control. I will not be playing games that make me feel like a prisoner. The experience taking standardized tests is enough for one life.

Are you suggesting there is no provider of high quality nails at industrial scale? That’s ridiculous. Many people just prefer to pay for cheap nails because they are good enough for the application, and that’s a good thing because this opti
