>10,000 dead in 2 days. Again, "genocide" doesn't have to do with the scale of the killing. It's a specific word with its own meaning. >Nobody can make you do anything, but the moral obligation is there. People say

Matrix is so much worse than Team it will make your head spin. It suffers from design by committee to an unbelievable extent, and its various end-to-end security features are wonderful from a privacy standpoint but make things much much mor

It's not a "grammatical technicality" to misuse a word. Iran is not carrying out a genocide. >It's your mess, now clean it up. The US is under no obligation to the people of Iran whatsoever. If we take action in Iran,

The US doesn't make foreign policy decisions altruistically. If we are involved somewhere, it's solely because it's to our benefit. The idea that we enforce order is childish; we do nothing that doesn't enforce our own i

It has been used as an idiom to mean stopping or restarting something (the former in this case) for decades: https://wordspy.com/words/ctrl-alt-delete/ I think it's because most people associate Ctrl-Alt-Del

It's clearly meant to be part of the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence that interrupts Windows computers to bring up the task manager.

Ok. They believe the right people should burn. Wow, what a fucking incredible insight your grandstanding added to this discussion.

You'd think he'd have a pretty huge tolerance at this point.

At what point did dictionaries providing descriptive views of the English languages turn into a prescriptive one that emboldens people to just point to repeated wrong usage rather than admit they were wrong?

Akka's not open source anymore so people tend to look at similar or competing systems like Scala Play.

That's what I'm doing on my codebases, while I still can. I only use Claude if I need to work on a different team's code that uses it heavily. Nothing quite gets a groan from me like opening up a repo and seeing CLAUDE.md

Same. This kind of coding feels like it got rid of the building aspect of programming that always felt nice, and it replaced it entirely with business logic concerns, product requirements, code reviews, etc. All the stuff I can generally ta

I think the author is contrasting video game criticism (which I agree is worthless) with that of other art forms, which I would argue has just become naked promotion to the same degree. Even in historically cranky areas such as classical mu

>The notion of “concrete mathematics” was meant as an antidote, of sorts, to new trends in “abstract mathematics” (a.k.a. “new math.”) I thought it was because it was a course covering a combination of discrete and continuous topics?

It seems a lot like PR. Much like their posts about "AI welfare" experts who have been hired to make sure their models welfare isn't harmed by abusive users. I think that, by doing this, they encourage people to anthropomorph

Vector spaces and bag of words models are not specifically related to LLMs, so I think that's irrelevant to this topic. It's not about "knowledge", just the ability to represent words in such a way that similarities betw

I really think you should actually read the article. None of what you are saying has to do with the content of it, and it will explain how you can do arithmetic with these words.
