    I'm not sure that's the point

    Can you explain what the point of Bazzite is? I don't really understand what it adds over installing Lutris onto whatever distro you would otherwise have used

    >AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses. Seems like there's no benefit even if it's used "correctly"?

    I don't think it's politically motivated at all. My impression of this IPO is that it's designed to inflate SpaceX's perceived value by offering very limited float and aggressively…

    As someone unfamiliar with the US-Canada trade relationship, it would be helpful if you developed this argument instead of stating it as a fact. I'm not well-placed to know whether…

    I think that is a very valid criticism. Equally, in the UK there is a sense of providers having tried nothing and then given up concluding that it hasn't worked. Some services that…

    I don't fault OP for this, but it's pretty frustrating to me as someone who's quite attached to his non-folding bike that the main benefit of folding bikes is that, unlike regular …

    Movistar are paying a billion dollars a year, so probably a long way away

    I played this game recently and you have to click through several screens telling you that it's disturbing to open and play it

    If your definition excludes Ethereum your understanding of the term so differs from everyone else's that we aren't talking about the same thing

    I think the navigation system was OK, we just said the impacts were further West than they actually were so the V2s fell on East London instead

    I'm a little torn on this one. On the one hand, people are bad epistemologists and lots of countries manage with similarly limited jury trials. On the other, we're doing it for cos…

    I'm not quite clear on the how of it, but Stockfish works pretty well outside the normal bounds of chess. There are toy chess variants on chess.com with "dragons" (knight + bishop)…

    If you have a cogent critique of our policy on preserving old buildings, you should articulate it. As things stand you just sound unhinged

    I don't think generative AI is even close to making model development 50% faster

    If they came to your home country, very possibly yes.

    Which insinuations do you think are ludicrous? Is it not a matter of public record at this point that the NSA and NIST have lied to weaken cryptography standards?

    Coffee is inherently not a consistent drink. The only brewing methods that don't vary significantly with brewer skill and chance are immersion brews, which aren't broadly used in m…

    We have had several serious nuclear incidents and none have destroyed either a continent or the people on it

    You don't need verifiers. I interviewed at R3 (now Onyx) in JP Morgan and my take on the business was that it's more of a distributed ledger than a blockchain

    Not really. It isn't hard to use FIPS validated software, it's just annoying to do because most libraries you would want to use aren't FIPS compliant by default for good reasons. I…

    I don't think anyone is able to learn many languages very easily. If you want to have meaningful discussions in a language you need a vocabulary on the order of 5-10k words dependi…

    I agree that the UK also fucked this up royally. I don't think this excuses either jurisdiction. In both cases the legal system failed to robustly scrutinise the claims being made …
