It is a good one. I'm going to keep it in my pocket for future discussions about AI in education, as I might have some say in how a local college builds policy around AI use. My attitude has always been that it should be proscribed in

No. Non sequitur. If I say Pinochet is bad, saying "Allende is bad too" is a completely nonsensical comparison, as they aren't even remotely similar and the things people are claiming are bad aren't even in the same cate

Pinochet raped political prisoners with dogs. Allende is so anodyne in comparison that the comparison is a non sequitur.

Pinochet was a fascist. There was nothing wrong with Allende's policies.

I've had a similar idea before, though a bit less optimistic, which is that the people on the internet back then (of which I was one) were a tiny fraction of the population filtered for their nerdy love of promising new tech. It's

I would take a look at uv adoption. That's what makes it different. It nails everything that all the other tools have done and it does it fast. So it's been what people have been using for a while now. Even poetry never seemed to

Aleatoric music is mostly just "neat". I've never encountered any of it that is interesting or moving, with the exception of situations in which it is very carefully integrated as one small element of a composition. That incl

Yeah wait and see how much executives and investors want AI when it gets smart enough to put executives and investors out of a job.

It's funny to read it after playing Cyberpunk 2077 (or the tabletop game setting) and realize that almost everything is just lifted from Neuromancer, often not even bothering to come up with new jargon.

Man, those unopened hobby product photos just look like spending addiction. I still remember someone on r/headphones who had like 30 different AKG headphones.

It's kind of funny to be whining about this in a frontpage post here, but that aside, this doesn't add anything to discussion. You should probably keep these things to yourself.

Yeah X/Twitter was running ads for a hunting game that showed you a real video of a fox dying slowly after being shot repeatedly. Can't block it and it popped up multiple times over a few weeks. It's getting to the point that

Yeah my main thought was that ChatGPT is now automating what sales people always do at the companies I've worked at, which is to hone in on what a prospective customer wants, confidently tell them we have it (or will have it next quart

That's 100% the right way to do it and how traditional learning works (you just use a metronome and slowly work up to full tempo) If you haven't already, please PLEASE choose the "invert" option for the string order. You

For good reason. Learning fluency reading sheet music is critical. Rocksmith is great, with caveats, but the fact that they, by default, invert the strings compared to tablature conventions on guitar should be proof enough that they are ped

Yeah it will make a map and plot some stuff on it. It might do well at handling 20 millions pins on the map gracefully even. I doubt it's gonna know to use alpha shapes to complement DBSCAN quite so gracefully. edit: Just spot checked
