I stated it already several times in this thread: my question is not about deepfakes, I can clearly see how those can be harmful. I'm talking about pure computer-generated content, not based on existing people
242.

I'm not talking about deepfakes of real people, I'm talking about computer-generated CSAM. Should've made myself clearer

That's the same argument used for banning video games. By killing monsters on the screen you somehow become more violent in real life. Which is comlete bullshit

> we're showing we have no care for anything but ourselves in this moment in time This is very consistent with the whole history of our species, and I don't think there ever was a moment in time when this was any different

I know, right? Almost 30 years and no progress in the speed of light? What are all these engineers even doing?

I cannot take your advice seriously unless you also recommend turning computers off

Sounds a lot like Vietnam and the US didn't even win that one

Well-designed abstractions do that in every language. And badly designed ones do the opposite, again in all languages. There's nothing special about Lisp here
249.
by usrnm 10mo ago
And yet, somehow Lisp continues to be everyone's sweetheart, even though creating literal new DSLs for every project is one of the features of the language.

Your experience as a native speaker is completely different from learning the language from scratch as an adult, to the point that it's almost irrelevant. Writing Russuan is not that difficult, it's just the only part that you had

Most of that energy gets transfered to the air that's being moved by the blades, and who knows what that air does eventually. And we're not even talking about the plant growing light that might be sitting in my room near my house

If I turn my fan on and 100% of the electricity is converted to heat, where does the kinetic energy of moving fan blades come from? Even the Trump administration cannot just repeal the law of conservation of energy.

> we process thousands of OpenAPI specifications every day Doesn't really strike me as the load that requires writing a high-performance solution from scratch, especially on modern hardware.

The popularity of Hepburn has a lot more to do with the English language than the Japanese language

Lua has hooks, which are callbacks that can be registered for a variety of different events, including every N instructions, and every call can decide to terminate the whole thing with an error. This mechanism can be used for different pur

Like who? Which large tech company doesn't have outages?

I really don't see how it would've helped. In go or Rust you'd just get a panic, which is in no way different.

The difference is that nobody really writes application code like that, it's a tool for writing libraries and creating abstractions. If all of the ugliness of async Rust was contained inside Tokio, I would have zero problems with it, b

by usrnm 10mo ago
I will never understand people bashing other languages for their syntax and readability and then saying that they prefer Rust. Async Rust is the ugliest and least readable language I've ever seen and I've done a lot of heavily tem

Well, it wasn't that bad when I visited Scotland last time

Europe isn't even a continent and has no real definition (none that would make any sense, anyway), so the whole thing is confusing by design

The most popular software in question is also a giant pile of C++, btw.

You cannot keep a good military for very long when you enter the economic decline stage, this has been proven by every empire in history.

I've lived in both cities and I'm surprised to see Utrecht above Amsterdam. Both are great, but I'd say Amsterdam is actually more bike-centered

Apple also helped develop USB C more than a decade ago, they still had to be forced to actually use it in their phones. There is no contradiction here
