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 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 …

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)…

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

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 …
