Dunking on people is like half the value of twitter-like platforms. I only go on twitter (or I'm guessing bluesky) to see politicians and journalists and pundits and celebrities get dunked on. It's a public square: open moderation

Presumably the database needs to be distributed to servers, too. The engine needs to access something. This is a necessity whether or not it's referred to as a binary.

Reading without write contention is not a terribly difficult problem. You could use any database and it'd work fine. It's the mutations that distinguish db engines. Sqlite is indeed close to ideal but the comparison to other datab

This comment appears to be the only place between article and thread where mongo getting recommended is even mentioned. Maybe stop giving them free press. I certainly haven't heard anyone seriously suggest them for about about ten year

I imagine the original use of "bull market" was derived from this practice. If this isn't the case i have no clue myself.

I'm very aware of these archives. They are very clearly not sufficient to train a model to interpret asl to the standards of corporate america. Let alone the standards of an arbitrary human. Hence my above post.

I imagine at least something mapping each color to what it applies to.

When someone gives this opinion, I think to myself they surely must be terrified of a stranger killing their wife with a rock (or merely desiring it themselves). How else can you excuse or explain such an impoverished imagination? If you ar

Why else would you put a bull in front of the stock exchange except as commentary on assholes pitching bull markets? How could you possibly construe this as a coincidence?

Crowd density is certainly the key here. Over a certain density crowds move like a liquid. Under a certain density crowds get much more difficult to model. This is not new in any way, btw. This paper seems to specifically address the runnin

Yup, that's a failed language.

Sure, but this completely neglects the aspects of humanity we left behind moving into sedentary communities. We will be forever blind to what we lost, and the morons among us will claim we lost nothing.

Hard to imagine this hasn't already been done for decades. What role would AI play?

by taurknaut 2y ago
ASL seems like a really hard problem. I've learned a fair bit myself being friends with a few interpreters and deaf people and two different people can sign the same thing in a way that would look very different to an AI. Sometimes it

The working class should complain, that's their role in liberal democracy. Better complain about energy prices than armies of invading muslim rapists.

Why not both? We've been claiming to want to reduce carbon emissions since before I was born. It's not even a hard pitch—if we're insanely wealthy and have the capacity to discuss greening our grid and still can't or won

Well it's certainly more effective than the DoD at providing value per cost.

Right, but there's more to blocking than content filtering (which is more akin to muting in twitter nomenclature). It should also restrict the blocked person from interacting with my content. At least that's what I'd expect

by taurknaut 2y ago
Presumably you still need server code to prevent blocked users from interacting with each other, no?

I'm struggling to come up with what intent this behavior was supposed to perform. I block probably one person every other thread. I don't block you because I had some kind of conflict, I blocked you because I don't like what

Can you answer my questions? You're being evasive. Ukraine would have been rejected slightly more politely by Harris. You're elevating a rhetorical difference to obscure that AIPAC primarying two democrats over their stance on isr
