    Interestingly Zelensky might be easier to deepfake than other world leaders because there's more footage and a wider variety of facial expressions to train on due to his acting car…

    The thing is that there's two levels of possible discrimination; systemic discrimination and admissions discrimination. Pure test results are discrimination free at the admissions …

    Yeah, I made it to do my chemistry homework where a lot of problems were duplicated with different numbers. The truth is that it's not well tested outside of that though so it's ha…

    Nice project. It's pretty similar to my project CalcuLaTeX ( https://calcula.tech ) although I think the intended usecase is slightly different

    An interesting example is hollow knight. It’s one of the most successful indie games of all time and it’s almost entirely coded visually: https://unity.com/madewith/hollow-knight A…

    at first I was jealous of the GUI navigation, but then I realized I don't use any GUIs other than firefox, for which there are plenty of plugins. The Vim emulation is pretty cool, …

    I think many people haven't realized that different paradigms fit different people's brains in different ways; there are better paradigms for a specific person and task but it's im…

    drawing on my kobo using the Plato sketch program is actually super responsive. I'm not sure why but it seems that the refresh rate is fine and e.g. flipping a page or scrolling ta…

    I think you're agreeing with kwitze. It's ok and even desirable for these services to host illegal, moral content but bad for them to host immoral content

    Funny anecdote, I installed Ubuntu on my own laptop to improve my minecraft FPS when I was 9 (~9 years ago). I googled something like "how to get more fps in minecraft" and the fir…

    Mix.install is super great for me. Personally I vastly prefer Elixir to Python for basic personal scripting stuff so being able to pull in dependencies in a single file is nice. Be…
