That sounds considerably more expensive than Microsoft's usual "embrace, extend, extinguish".

It's a bit off-topic, but the role of urine in teeth cleaning reminds me one of Catullus' poems, poking fun at someone who was a bit too eager to laugh/smile as trying to show off …

>I posit that one should be afraid of fighting an ant because the ant is weaker than you. The fear in this case is not of being defeated or humiliated, but of being cruel and unkin…

Relevant tidbit: hot mixing with quicklime was key for this self-healing property[1], as it allowed the creation of small lime clasts across the material. [1] https://arstechnica.c…

Contrariwise to your assumption I was not trying to bring a flamewar up, even if feeling the need to point that out. With that in mind, your silence towards the potential nationali…

Nah. It's either the 2nd biggest communication problem, or a side effect of a bigger problem. Depending on how you analyse it. The biggest communication problem is that you always …

TL;DR: AI doesn't understand human language prompts, it's just associating specific tokens with specific outputs.

I don't think that the internet is currently dead ("dead" = "bot activity mistaken for human activity greatly surpassing genuinely human activity"), but that this is a real future …

>Web advertisers seem like a classic case of taking miles when given an inch. I agree. And for me they're also two (!) good examples of tragedy of the commons. From the side of the…

The author might call Nichomachean Ethics "ancient"; I'd call it "unrefined". >Virtue is a state “consisting in a mean,” Aristotle maintains, and this mean “is defined by reference…

I read it. (Although I wish that I didn't. Reddit exodus is taking its toll on other sites, it seems.)

>A fallacy is saying that something is wrong because of fallacious reasons. A fallacy is a basic flaw of logic reasoning supporting or ditching a claim, view, statement or position…

>A lot of the AI doomerism comes from folks who do not understand the real complexities in making systems which really can function in a fully autonomous way in an environment whic…

Nah. Human utterances convey purpose on a discursive level; including your comment or mine. We say stuff because we want to do something, like showing [dis]agreement or inform anot…

Archive link for the same thread in that dying site: https://archive.fo/qr5dZ Because once July 1st hits the site will be likely filled with more trash than actual content. It's un…

It's clean because they don't need to obfuscate anything to avoid people blocking ads.

I've been among those users creating replacement communities. Mostly about topics that I wanted to speak about, even in Reddit, but prevented myself to do so to not feed that awful…

It's a bit like watching snail courting rituals on Discovery: you're watching something sloppy, between practically brainless entities, and really slow. And you know that one of th…

That reasoning is similar to the one that I've found in r/RedditAlternatives: they're proposing to replace the content with random crap from a conlang generator. EDIT: found the pi…

>It's like apologizing for something that you said as a teenager that was found on social media: the only people asking for the apology don't really care whether or not you apologi…

They won't last in Discord. Too messy, to sync for anything that Reddit used to be good for. They'll be either in some random alt or back to Reddit.

I think that they do. Third party apps need to do a lot of API calls, every time that the user sees content, upvote content, comment content. If you're just retrieving it though? W…

"Must" [as "be necessary"] and "should" are ultimately meaningless when you're dealing with corporate. Corporate only understands "allowed", "required", and "forbidden". Handle it …
