One could argue the student would absolutely hack their teachers' computer to find the answers if they didn't have fear of failing the class or getting expelled from the school.

Then the USSR got it anyway and we're in a perpetual state of Mutually Assured Destruction.

That's the Cold War nuclear arms race argument, not even disguised. The actual situation we all ended up in is both sides eventually having it, leading to a perpetual state of Mutually Assured Destruction. As you note, it may not be in

You are conflating legal and desirable.

Honestly, maybe it's a market specific thing, but from having worked for a carrier, the overwhelming majority of consumers just dont know anything about any phone but the brand. They'll come in store looking for "an iPhone&qu

I wouldn't disagree if in-person service was even comparable, but nowadays, for the banks available to me in the area, opening hours are even worse than they were in the 00s, there are way less branches still opened than there used to,

"They" call tags tags, and graffiti, graffiti.

Can't agree more with that last sentence. I picked up guitar around 16yo, bass a couple of years later, and shortly tried my hand at drums. I'm now more than twice the age and I am indeed deeply unsatisfied with my technical abili

There were occasions where a "hunch" was all that stopped a nuclear war - most available data and communication pointed towards a nuclear war starting according to their instructions, but someone disagreed and overrode. See Vasily

The robot doesn't have to do all that to severely impact the plumber's, or just trades', job market as a whole. A massive influx of new trainees in the field will inevitably pull salaries down, thus the viability of the field

That second point is spot on. The one thing I remember vividly - and that still helps me most - from all those years of classical piano training is the ear training. I don't have perfect pitch, but I remember A440 vividly (thanks to my

I find it hard to believe that saying autistic people are "incredibly hard to manage", that managing them is like "herding cats" and their presence is a "huge liability to the org" is anywhere near complimentar

It is probably already happening, and will get worse. OpenAI was boasting about their advertising revenue mere days ago. If we felt like we couldn't trust AI because of slop, soon we won't be able to trust it because it'll pu

I feel like you legitimately cannot say it for legal reasons, but I wish we would just name these freaking things.

It's more about "abdicating to the Chromium monopoly" than "uBlock" in my case, in which case that 3.33W isn't so bad for me. YMMV I guess.

Oh come on. It's also trained on fiction work. Shall we refrain from posting sci-fi stories too, now that we're there, just in case the AI might want to try it out?

The fact it takes hours upon hours is a problem in an of itself, it probably acts as a deterrent to vote for many. I just checked, in Canada it's 3 mandatory consecutive hours without docking pay or other penalities.

I was talking as someone not in the US, but who doesn't have a national holiday either.

by folkrav 13d ago
Yep that was my thought as well. Most DAWs default to a very quick cross fade when joining two clips for this very reason.

We don't have holidays here, but employers are required to provide us with a certain amount of consecutive free hours (which specific number I can't remember) inside voting hours.

Eh, maybe, maybe not. I watch YouTube content, not power usage graphs, perceived performance is good enough for what I do with it. If I'm on battery I'm probably not watching in 4k anyway, at which point the difference in power us

That second part was indeed pretty self evident years ago, but I regularly watch 4k content on YouTube on low powered machine these days and can't say I see the difference anymore.

I have a hard time believing you've genuinely never had a lecturer take questions. I also genuinely have a hard time believing that last sentence is not, at best, a not-so-subtle attempt at putting my social awareness into question, or

To me, the main advantage of the lecture format is the possibility to have me or others grill the lecturer for questions, benefiting the whole group. From this point of view, a video of a lecture is already a compromise. In both cases, it&#

IMHO, it's not just DAWs keeping people on main OSes, but plugins. On the Linux side, Reaper, arguably one of the most popular options on Windows/macOS, has been available since 2018, BitWig is a good Ableton-like experience, and

Asia does about 50% the global emissions while having 60% of the world's population. The US alone does about 12% being 5% of global population. US approaches 15t/CO2 per capita. Every single country in Asia is under 9t, China and

Maybe this country focusing so much on keeping the gas cheap might have something to do with it.
