It only "take jobs" because it's useful. It's useful for making transcription at scale, text revision, marketing material, VFX, all those things. It also does other things that don't "take jobs", like comp

Why are humans pushing themselves to do challenging stuff? I don't know man, but it's just what we do, and I think that's cool.

So this is about the ego of professionals? As the other person explained, there are many use cases for disposable software, so it's a good thing that there's a new tech enabling non-programmer to create these on their own.

People are complaining about it because they think it's unfair and it's abuse of IP law. People's interests aren't defined by court decisions.

You mean we're not there in simulating an actual human brain? Sure. But we're seeing AI work like a human well enough to be useful, isn't that the point?

I don't know why people are worried about storage. You can just store it on the cloud.

It is an obviously wrong approach. There are plenty of intelligent people out there, this doesn't keep them from being occasionally wrong. If you have access to the opinion of people who devoted their whole lives to the field in questi

Is it not reasonable to expect that the keyword "share" functions the same as the share button? I don't know the standards you have for the things you buy, but I find unacceptable that a thing I paid (handsomely) for twists m

Nowadays there are games for all tastes being released weekly, the biggest game of the year, Elden Ring, seems exactly what you're looking for. Also try indies like Slay the Spire, Into the Breach and Rollerdrome

I disagree with the premise of your answer. The statements "there are new, interesting CLI apps" and "there are more critical GUI apps nowadays" aren't mutually exclusive, actually they both make sense if you consid

Ok, this is obviously a very shallow reading, but I can see myself coming back to it in moments of need to find new perspectives.

I really don't know what you want here, my man. You're asking for irrefutable proof when no one can provide it. This is a curious set of events, not a legal case. If they had the proof you want this would be a much bigger story wo

He has an older tweet mentioning the visit https://twitter.com/_SecondThought/status/132335626258786304... Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US (the best I could do with your

He claims to have received a visit from the DHS about his other video on police brutality called "America's Police Problem", months before the CIA video situation. Yes, he doesn't offer evidence the DHS visited him, but

I tried posting this link here last year with the title "YouTube shadowbans 'The CIA is a Terrorist Organization' video", but my post got flagged. I'm trying again with a milder title.

Yeah, I strongly dislike chess.com, but the fact that it sponsors so many amazing chess content creators makes it more useful existing than not existing. Too bad most players gravitate towards it over the superior platform (lichess).

A good rule of thumb, and I hope someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I'm wrong, is that stuff that generate more heat will consume more power. So hot shower, iron, curling iron, hairdryer, rice cooker, this kind of stuff. Elec

I'm not talking about the NSA spying on American citizens. I'm talking about America slaughtering civilians in half of the middle east.

That was because he had said he doubted Russia would invade Ukraine. I doubt he feels differently about seeking asylum, considering the alternative.

I believe all the public wants is a report with an overview of the mechanisms that dictate how and in which order tweets are shown to different users. Even if no current Twitter employee knows the system well enough to write it, they can st

I for one am very sympathetic towards Elon Musk. I know there are dozens of ways to problematize him, and I'm not being dismissive towards them, but unlike most billionaires I think he's ultimately a well intentioned idealistic at

It's because, even though I'm a cis male that has never been misgendered, I can empathize much better with the pain of a misgendered trans person than with the pain of any person that was treated by as a "they". To be co

Well, thoughts and prayers. We're fighting a different fight.

by farias0 4y ago
Why? Using non-gendered language avoids misgendering people, and even though there are people who are offended by not being gendered this seems like a great trade off.

by farias0 4y ago
Some people are genuinely trying to make other people feel included. Some people just do it because of social pressure. One way or another this does feel like a force for the better.

Well, it turns out people are more interested in avoiding upsetting people through gendered language than through non-gendered language. You can't please everyone, and your worries do seem less important if you ask me.
