And the New York Post is not a reliable source.

There are over a million dead in the United States for whom your statement is not true.

> "Long COVID" which is completely real and scientifically verified, despite your scare quotes. I might add that nothing in your link claims that Gulf War Syndrome is psychogenic.

No, brand-new homes - see my other comment.

How is it clear that coding assistants have an upside for anyone past a complete beginner? So far, the utility on existing codebases is less than zero. > continue to improve quadra…

I did not miss the full context. "Deemed" in particular doesn't require any sort of reasoning or argument for the company to make any decision it likes. And "appropriate" is not a …

The phrase "in any way that Vultr deems appropriate" does not encourage a narrow read. It is a wildcard that allows them to do whatever they want with the data and then argue, "We …

You missed the "in any way that Vultr deems appropriate" clause. This is a classic weasel phrase which means they can do as they please. "Why did you sell my data to an AI company?…

This is a truly, truly terrible idea. It adds several failure modes, some subtle so you can go a long way in a state of error, just so beginners can type `python` instead of e.g. `…

A system where musicians are not adequately compensated will always be more attractive to the listener.

If you're under the impression that your average musician gets any significant money on streaming, this is not so. I know a lot of professional musicians who make a living from the…

That is a good summary, but of course, there is "cheating" to do the infinite amounts of work required in a finite time! The board appears as if there exist at any time infinite le…

Requiring infinite amounts of information to explain a finite universe? Occam's Razor comes down pretty hard on the side of "no". People have tried to explain the universe with cel…

I expected to be downvoted! It's a grim idea, that this is there is and there isn't some huge prize of "a whole galaxy" a thousand years down the line. I would have resisted it whe…

The most likely theory is that the universe is much like it appears to be and the speed of light is an absolute barrier, and that in practice means that interstellar civilizations …

This seems well-reasoned and clear. The author is pissed off, but one can see why if what the article presents is accurate. But I personally don't know either the code base or the …

But chess is a game of complete information, and one where the entire state can be perfectly and unambiguously represented in less than 64 bytes.

During that time there was also a pandemic that killed millions, a psychotic US President, and repeated waves of layoffs amongst tech workers. > An office job provided structure an…

The New York Post is not a reliable source.

Years of deliberate false statements by Tesla about their self-driving capacity should make any rational person very skeptical of their future claims. Having a CEO who is obsessed …
