Taking on extra responsibility is all well and good until someone figures out that they can just get you to do more work for the same amount of money. At that point your only optio…

One reason could be previous season or movie recaps. I know I'll go look for recaps to refresh myself on a story before launching into a new season.

It's not like anyone is forcing the students to participate. If someone of voting age wants to engage someone on policy positions, then they accept the consequences. Likewise, if s…

This. AI is not replacing us, it is pulling the ladder up behind us.

> Existing mitigation approaches often degrade performance on open-ended generation and downstream tasks, limiting their practical utility. [...] Unlike continuous reward schemes, …

As someone who grew up on a farm.... I think this is what your nieces and/or nephews are for xD

Ironically, I love using em dashes in my writing, but if I ever have to AI generate an email or summary or something, I will remove it for this exact reason.

For a standard globe that you might see in a classroom, the Earth's atmosphere is about as thick as the paper glued to the outside that displays the map.

I suspect that they are trying to recreate the experience of bumping into someone they know. Since the destruction of third-spaces, it is increasingly unlikely that you'll serendip…

The short version is that its in limited supply, it has luxury value (think jewelry or artisan crafting), and its doesn't corrode. So it's a supply and demand issue. There is basic…

You need to be able to distribute power to an area more than once

Many years ago when I had an iphone I would set text vibrations to be the morse code of the first letter of someone's name so I knew who messaged me without looking. That's the onl…

In fairness, Windows 10 was marketed as the Last OS. I could see how someone would take this into account when choosing an OS. Its not their fault the rug was pulled out from under…

Given that most of us can only afford to go to the dentist twice a year when our insurance covers it, what advice do you have for sussing out bad apples?

The premise of this program is reasonable. If a cadaver is unclaimed, then letting the next generation of doctors use it for training is not a bad solution to the problem. I'll gra…

Pass. This article could have been published as "Why Internet Message Boards Are Making Programmers Worse at Programming" 30 years ago, "Why Google Is Making Programmers Worse at P…

Absolutely not. Compensation should reflect value received. This idea effectively forces a business to subsidize their employees, because you damn sure can't pass all that to the c…

Same. I was so sad when my old chromecast broke. And casting was basically the only thing that kept me on the chrome browser all these years. So perhaps its a good thing and this c…

Does anyone know of a way to implement this at the network level? Maybe with a pihole or something?

Sure, but at least then your options are limited to existence or destruction, and you still have to have physical proximity to experience either. Digital represents a third form-fa…

Frankly I'm looking forward to not being harrassed endlessly to update my computer. I'm happy to live on an EOLed Windows 10 if it means that I don't have to keep playing goalie ag…

Super cool. I've been thinking about building something like this for years. I have a background in debate, and the inability to "flow" complex discussion in any sort of digital fo…
