what a terrible take. so many jobs involve ethical and moral responsibility, and so many jobs (especially in tech, where you are making products which shape lives on the global scale) are best fulfilled through compassion, human understandi

China is not Iron Curtain countries dominated by the USSR. to compare China to Poland has no merit. China has built high speed rail, a quality universal health care system, and huge tech and mfg sectors. It most certainly is orders of magni

you dont think the amount of bullying and pressure to fit in on social media by teens isnt a huge problem? this isnt internet forums and online communities of the 90s, it’s in-your-face constant advertising and pressure by peers every secon

people aren’t saying “aks” to make a public statement against you for whatever reason. they’re saying it because that’s how they learned to speak and the dialect of speakers who they were surrounded with. yeah, people code switch, but i hav

i don’t think that requiring in-person “ID”-proofed voting and removing mail-in ballots (which is the best part of voting in CA) does anything to bring people back to reality… Even if it were a holiday, people may not be able to travel or t

go tell that to genz who use :skullemoji: or koreans who dislike pinching hand emoji, or anyone who knows what a heart, dollar bills, sleepy face or whatever else means. we make up words all the time, and they are in fact not all "agre

this is the govt stifling free speech, and fwiw climate is not controversial; climate change is a real and existential threat. sheltering students who have other (read: conservative) views is anti-knowledge and anti-education.

depth estimation is but one part of the problem— atmospheric and other conditions which blind optical visible spectrum sensors, lack of ambient (sunlight) and more. lidar simply outperforms (performs at all?) in these conditions. and provid

it’s not a difficult strategy to come up with, tbh. tech companies do this sort of thing all the time.

how does it add confusion? if normal people don’t know, criminals/terrorists do, and the materials are commonplace but not screened for, then everything about the current approach is wrong. and when has a plane been brought down by the

"american" viewpoints aka fascism and naziism and the promotion of white supremacist views. it will take so much time to undo this mess.

as if straight / white causes in most western nations aren't "pushed" by default. it's ok to know that gay people exist and that christianity is not the be-all-end-all of cultural practices.

god forbid we teach children that people are different, and they matter, and they can love who they want and practice what religion they want. the horrors! i hope your kids turn out cishet for their sake and only date white folk, otherwise

you can't see how asking for a hint and formulating using your own brain is totally different than telling the AI to code the entire thing for you?

if YOU make a claim, you need to provide proof. simple as. anything else is a logical fallacy or malicious argument :)

no, actually that requires congressional approval, and the government is currently shut down, mostly as a way to defer the release of the Epstein files. nice try, though.

translation is absolutely not “100% solved” because LLMs exist. such a take is underplaying so much cultural and emotional connection it’s laughable. contempible even. if you are an OSS dev and have no money, you can find another OSS dev to

it's actually wild; the first thing i thought after seeing the weekend results from recent events was how similar the veneration/usage of CK is to horst wessel. it's blatantly obvious, and quite worrisome for the trajectory o

how can you say you only want cooperation when the viewpoints you and your brethren share are dehumanising, against a peaceful world, against caring for the environment, against minorities, against queer folk, and against international coop

the man’s speech was against human rights for black people, women, lgbtq+. people are allowed to have free speech against those beliefs too. they are not “average”.

it's such an insane american belief that the answer to safety is not: reduce gun amounts, reduce what guns people can buy, improve mental health counseling, improve healthcare, improve quality of life through cheaper housing and well-p

america is not a country founded on a religious heritage. and regardless of what you may think of the beginnings of the country, it very quickly became a country of immigrants. there is no religion that should be placed at the head of the c

if the framing is “pandemic controls bad because my rights are more important than public health in a global pandemic” it’s not a very convincing argument. we should stick to actual fact and issue here which is that these tools are bad for

there is no more american dream, and anyone who “creates” jobs in this economy and era of rampant hypercapitalism isn’t really enabling or transferring wealth. if there were ample americans to do these jobs, they should be able to get them.
