Philosophically I really like the idea in terms of how I'd like to work. If they are paying for a data processing node then they can have that. It won't stop me from being a human,…

Have you tried giving Codex instructions on how to hack a solution together? (Maybe it would be a waste of time.)

Or even those who work in sewers spend much of their time covered in sewage, so it's fair that everyone else does too.

> because you open yourself up for discrimination lawsuits Is that because when looking to make a possibly subjective judgement on the performance in a test and especially what a s…

This is where a scientific approach to measuring opinions and experiences of multiple people would help. Peter Hotez has not demonstrated such an approach and has instead provided …

> This is word salad. Try reading it again, maybe twice or more, and figuring out what is meant.

Indeed. My point is that this sets a standard for what is considered 'effective' and if it falls short of that standard, those who say it's 'ineffective' by that unrealistic standa…

It's been in the works for years. Very good in some ways, a bit rough round the edges though, but it's time I make a substantial demo, docs and marketing website for it. SSR was bu…

The article was both about attacks on scientists and attacks on science itself. My view disagrees with that of Peter Hotez, as I think that science should be vigorously attacked, e…

'ineffective' and 'effective' do not have very strict definitions. Something could be ineffective compared to how effective it was presented as being, such as the recent COVID vacc…

In my view it definitely is worth engaging. In order for people to get vaccinated they need to give informed consent. In order for people to give informed consent they need to unde…

There are two political gains we should coordinate our attacks to achieve: Better vaccines (safer, more powerful) A more informed public regarding vaccines

What would be your perfect API to do the main things you need to do (top priority question) What features do you not need that are in React? What features do you need that are not …

I never said that my ideal video hosting website would lack moderation. Ideally I would have control (which I can delegate) over moderation rather than someone I disagreed with, an…

No, in my view Youtube can not do whatever they like with this kind of thing, at least as far as my potential outrage is concerned. If Youtube gives a false reason (to me as well a…

It is if they are absolutist.

Is it any easier when using Ubuntu on ARM Oracle servers?

Here is the problem with that: Apple would have a public-facing online search engine. The article addresses the advantages for Apple of having Safari users use Apple's search engin…

I find it just a little surprising that the former Twitter COVID 'misinformation' policy prohibited sharing details concerning the different vulnerabilities between the young and t…

I know that. When talking about language and script transmission it makes more sense in my view to talk about Phoenicians rather than Carthaginians, unless there is any specific li…

Society encouraging people to take ownership of their actions and consequences is also part of how that would take place.

1) Why Carthaginian rather than Phoenician? 2) Given that runes are a form that's optimised for writing on trees, it should not be expected that the oldest runes will be found.

An increase from 0 to a tiny and insignificant amount is an increase of infinity percent.

What do you mean? Hyenas hunt hyenas? Hyenas hunt?

In JavaScript (specifically node / V8) if dividing multiple values by the same divisor, is it fastest to calculate the reciprocal and then multiply it? How about other languages (a…
