Does anyone have any information on where the author gets his claim that Cohen has a "road to Damascus moment" upon arriving at Harvard? I can't find anything on that, or even anyone else claiming Cohen was a "liberal&qu

I never said they would be kept poor. I also wonder why none of those Petro states are bastions of democracy and cultural excellence

And these leaders are all fairly and democratically elected? Without the influence of the money of former colonial states (or their puppets in the form of expropriative enterprises)? Consider the trillions of dollars made by other countri

Thankfully, we just heard back from 5th Circut Appeals that the injunction was likely a significant overstep and was overturned. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca5.214...

The requirements for an injunction are much lower than an actual ruling. The party must just show that they have a possibility of winning the case and that granting temporary relief will not cause additional harm to the plaintiff. To use th

Which phone/app? I would be very surprised if a manufacturer has an entirely on-device real-time ASR model, maybe I'm behind.

by camdat 3y ago
This would be immediately obvious in a cursory analysis of performance. On-device transcription is not only computationally infeasible, it would also require model capabilities far beyond what is currently SOTA. Google had (and has afaik) s

If someone plugs math into a calculator, are they really learning something when it spits out an answer? Of course! How to apply the calculator to problems, and how to discern if a problem is calculator-solveable. We've decided as a so

This assumes two vehicles of similar dimensions. An aerodynamic 3,001lb vehicle would be much preferable to me than a 2,999lb flat-front. The physics imply only a portion of the heavier vehicles energy is imparted to me. I don't make t

This implies that accepting a job that pays more, even if it doesn't align with your incentives, is being a "nine to fiver", which I disagree with. Innate to our economic system is the tension between labor and employer. Us a

You're not saying anything here. Sure there are people like that, but the nature of capitalism means that people _must_ work to survive. This requirement precludes finding work you enjoy, and thus those that have the opportunity to wor

Am I expected to expend my enthusiasm for programming on my employer? I find it insulting that I must be a "nine to fiver" if I advocate for labor. My passion isn't building what my boss wants, it's building what _I_ wan

Honest question, would you limit nuclear research in the 40s for the above reasons? Sure we have nuclear power, but at the risk of the president holding the ability to level most countries. The only difference I see is that the harms you de
