Say they don't. If they can't afford to buy their own house, now those people no longer have a place to live. How is that better?

His two previous impeachments don't seem to have slowed him down, so it seems unlikely that a third would be any different. Not to mention his felony conviction.

I can't say as I'm not familiar with Preact signals, but I do know the Angular team brought on the author of SolidJS to implement signals in Angular. Though I think I remember reading at some point that Preact signals were essenti

A good name for that could be "pragmatic perfectionism". Has a nice little alliteration and everything

I did the same and had the same suspicion. If that's actually the case, the ideas and the writing don't change, but it changes how you feel about it doesn't it? Which brings up some really interesting questions. It made me re

> you shouldn't write code until you know someone is willing to buy This is kind of a weird line to see in a thread where people are talking about coding for the joy of the craft. Also makes me think about where we would be if every

Damn, not only is this great wisdom but your writing is honestly beautiful... Are you a writer by any chance?

Any reason you're using CSV instead of parquet?

Just barely. Had the military been just a bit more indoctrinated, they may have started shooting. Which, as far as I understand, were the instructions they received. If nothing else, if the legislators weren't able to get in, this woul

While it's true that there are U.S. states where it's illegal, there are many places (maybe most?) where it's not. Presumably due to the fact that it's near impossible to prove in court unless they were giving out receip

I think you misunderstood the parent comment. The first part reads as if you're replying to a different comment, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion based on what was said. For the second part, they were talking abou

Scrolling down, I see that they apparently also sell hoodies for $130USD (not including tax and shipping). Literal insanity

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, considering the link you provided has a chart showing the progressive debasement of roman currency, but they definitely had inflation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_the

Honestly. They want to earn back people's trust, so they figure the best way to do that is with good ol' gaslighting. Thing is, it'll probably work. At least to some extent. The irony is actually kind of funny.

Seems like you're implying that harmful stereotypes either: don't exist, aren't actually harmful, or are the "truth"? If, when given the text "[MASK] is a female job", a language model only fills in "

> Also, how sure are we this intelligence doesn't experience pain? I'd say pretty damn sure. LLMs have no mechanism for anything close to conscious experience, let alone pain.

Something like ge-tracker? I always thought it sounded fun to work on something like that, but also a ton of work for a game I'd probably be bored with way before I'd be able to finish anything tangible. I'm guessing there&#x

Arrays aren't just used for counting though. For example, the origin in cartesian coordinates is "0,0" and not "1,1". Not to say that I disagree, I don't think I've come across a situation where 0-based in

Is it? If you're doing low-level stuff maybe, but I really haven't done much of that so I'm not even sure I know what you mean by "extending" an array (presumably has something to do with allocating contiguous memor

I wonder if it has something to do with a cultural perception of how life and the world in general is perceived. As in, "He's currently experiencing his first year of life" vs. "He has lived for one year", kind of &

It's more a problem of population density vs the cost of setting up and maintaining the infrastructure.

I find this line of thinking incredibly bizarre. If PTO is important to the candidate, why should they waste their time spending hours interviewing only to find out that the work-life balance in this position isn't going to work for th

The cost-benefit analysis might look pretty decent to an arms manufacturer and their buddies and family members in congress/the senate.

Weird pivot to an unrelated point, but I find it kind of funny that this article is essentially saying the opposite of what you're implying. They noticed these deaths weren't actually from the virus, so they fixed the data. All 7

That's really interesting. What's this effect called? I'd love to learn more about it. This topic fascinates me to no end!

Anecdotally, one of my friends had a small family gathering at some point and everyone got Covid except for the smokers. Could easily be a coincidence given the sample size of like 7 people, but interesting nonetheless.
