I'm conflicted on this. I use perplexity at the moment because they gave out a year of pro subscriptions, and it's geuninely pretty useful since it is so heavily based on web results. The on…

Imma be honest, I was pretty convinced by the "if we have strong trade relations where it's almost codependent, they will not try stuff". That was probably wrong, but we were also way m…

Yes, it even says so as a requirement on the box. What I'm also interested in is whether they'll require a PCIE 4.0 motherboard or if a 3.0 x16 slot is fine. Also whether their software prop…

you... are correct. Shame on me. Still a good book!

Hey,I really liked your little book of deep learning, even though I didn't understand everything in it yet. Thanks for writing it!

>Skeptical of large corps
They will surely get rid of Lina Khan almost instantly, who is one of the few people in a position of power who is actually poutting skepticism of large companies into act…

oh, great! from what I've seen 2022 a sugar drink tax was increased, with possibility to extend it into all products. did that ever happen?
comment
Somewhat tangential to the article, but I've long been a supporter of gradually introducing a tax on added sugar or sugar in general (with appropriate taxing on other sweeteners as well), and mak…
comment
Yeah, absolutely! Just thought it would have to be tagged as such somehow?
comment
That functionality used to exist on Android, but I haven't seen it show up on the past two phones I owned. Does it still exist in stock and xiaomi just got rid of it for whatever reason?
comment
Looks really cool, but on a side note: is this self-promotion? There is a ?hn tag at the end of the link.

The other half of what made it successful was the insane video creation tools with insane ease of use. Getting 90% of a really good result effects wise with 10% of the effort was made possible for man…
comment
This is great! I found myself preferring the rider student license I had at home to Visual Studio we had at work when I was actively writing a lot of c# and some f# recently. It didn't feel fast …

You do have to pay to play the ("prime") competitive mode. Sadly that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrence.
comment
Maybe people with good story literacy and cultural comprehension will be able to tell the difference for much longer, maybe even indefinitely. But the majority of people, and I dread that includes me,…
comment
I believe you're right too. The internet and smartphones are great technology in general, and can do pretty great things but what they've ended up doing was screwing with the reward mechanis…
comment
That's been something I don't get. Someone at Microsoft must be aware that they've completely killed user excitement for new features over the last 10 or so years by pushing them relent…
comment
blocking anyone who pays for the premium subscription contiunes to be a solid enough heuristic
comment
I think it's a longer term play.
Step 1) Establish a large enough non-windows userbase with great compatibility tools
Step 2) Studios and especially game engine developers notice linux install b…

I get where you're coming from, and im some instances I feel the same way. At the same time, both can be true and it's not the same in every situation. It is possible for there to be situati…
comment
For anyone interested, I'd recommend listening to the Atomic Habits episode of the "If books could kill" podcast. The hosts are twitter-esque at times, but they still manage to cover th…
comment
I've definitely felt this. I don't know how much of this feeling is legitimate and how much is just me seeking excuses externally, but the sentiment you mentioned is definitely felt and demo…
comment
When I only look at what I can see myself, it sometimes looks like this as well. But when talking to (female) friends at uni or colleagues, most of them have had bad experiences that made my jaw drop.…
comment
Yes, I feel like this hits the nail on the head. It's completely understandable that something had to be done. This might not be the ideal solution, but it's extremely good that it happene…
comment
I think any interpretation of this phenomenon that doesn't include the phrase "it depends" is doing it injustice. We're now in the first time where the implicit (and explicit) bias…

Unionize!
comment
Maybe they think it's possible to train a better, more efficient model on the chain of thought outputs of the existing one, not just matching but surpassing it?
comment
We could make a distinction between individuals and companies doing it
comment
Or maybe at least to allow users to restrict certain games from being shared?

The article directly attributes it to him! Was that edited in after you wrote your comment?
