I realize you're trolling, but there is a positive way to approach this, by looking at what we can do to allow us to maintain quality of living in a sustainable way. Cowering in th…

When I click through I only see a 4MB zip file. Where is the dataset? It's great to have this kind of data available. So much computer vision research is done with a small number o…

WSL2 has quirks that make it not the same as running linux natively. For some workflows this may not matter but I have seen it evaluated for some use cases where not everything wor…

I was linux only until last year when someone convinced me to try a Mac. I have been very happy with it: it's way less intrusive than what I had pictured (I think prejudice against…

There is another comment in the thread where someone suggests that maybe its time we do away with april fools. Personally, I think most of the jokes are dumb (and honestly mostly c…

I'd concede that it's not cool, if true, that banks and tech companies have so much power over people that a fake invoice someone knows they aren't responsible for makes them afrai…

Haha, I guess I'm a minority. Other commenters thought it was "morally reprehensible", "fraud", and are "livid". I'll try to do a better job of seeing how evil those around me real…

I think most agree it was a bad joke - there is no 'absurdity' to it. Even when you find out it is fake, it's not really funny, it's more like "oh, why did you do that". That said,…

I'm curious about the co-CEO thing. That seems like it is universally something that doesn't work and is just what happens when nobody wants to make a tough decision. Is there any …

We had an Apple IIe, but our first x86 was a 386 with 2MB ram and a 25MHz processor. I think the HDD was 40 MB.

There is definitely some validity, even if it just boils down to "understand how your ML models make there decisions and make sure you're cool with that". I think the challenge is …

This whole thing has transcended any kind of logic, and there does not seem to be a rational way to discuss the tradeoffs with people. I think this is just the first "crisis" - act…

I can't believe people are accepting it in canada either. I'm hoping that people will start to push back more as restrictions move from temporary to systematic, but so far I see ve…

I think that's part of the point. Initially I couldn't understand why ostensibly right wing premiers in Ontario and Quebec were to pro-lockdown. But when you see how much the inter…

It's about a show of authority, it has nothing to do with public health? Also who does it apply to jurisdictions that don't have a covid problem? The government is trying to placat…

Is there a direct link to the project?

I often have a shell open on my phone, but far less often than I would if there were good options for typing. I'm very excited by the prospect.

A lot of the "system integration" work that these big consultancies get hired for is more like configuration (of big erp systems like SAP and Oracle or whatever)? There may be some…

That's about it. Horrible user experience - oh you're about to pay us, just click a few sidewalks first - and condescension of asking people to do a menial task that improves their…

Gambling, e.g. casino or sports betting is different because for some it's a fun pastime and participants are (more or less) aware of what it's about. "Crypto" - not the underlying…

The site has a big re-captcha banner on it - one of Google's most consumer hostile products. They should consider switching to something else if they want to "take on google".

Related, in English, words of latin origin are often perceived as more pretentious sounding than their Germanic equivalents. It's not true for all cases but there are lots of obvio…

That promition is ridiculous, or at least superbly ironic. I think though it's an example of how actual health (or quality of life which is a much more robust measure) outcomes are…

Just my opinion, there's a lot of extremism around handling covid, basically a religious reverence where no measure is too severe to prevent even one death. But it would be a mista…
