Excuse my ignorance, what did the batteries need fresh water for, cooling?

That's all well and good but I'd have preferred they keep some of the story points from the book like the emphasis on Blackthorn learning Japanese, and the theming overall of the b…

I’ve felt like it’s deviated quite a bit, but it’s well made nonetheless

How is being the only good company making laptops a monopoly? Seems like you recognized that point in your second paragraph but bears repeating how ridiculous of a comparison to Bo…

Not sure I buy that. They're one of only two options in operating system but one of many in hardware models. They're much less able to win regulatory capture being a far less regul…

It was a pivotal movie for my journey in learning French, hope you enjoy.

I highly recommend the movie "Être et avoir", which doesn't necessarily touch this exact subject but is a wonderful look into the world of rural France as it existed 20 years ago.

I find it fascinating this type of response from people is always accompanied by a political label in order to insinuate some other negative baggage.

It’s quite non-deterministic and it’s been patched since the middle of the day, as per a Google director https://x.com/jackk/status/1760334258722250785?s=46 Fwiw, it seems to have …

Yeah, although it is weird that it doesn’t insert white people into results like this by accident? https://x.com/imao_/status/1760159905682509927?s=46 I’ve also seen numerous examp…

Can you explain what I said that was racist?

Carmack’s tweet is about what’s going around Twitter today regarding the implicit biases Gemini (Google’s chatbot) has when drawing images. Will refuse to draw white people (and pe…

Curious to see if this thread gets flagged and shut down like the others. Shame, too, since I feel like all the Gemini stuff that’s gone down today is so important to talk about wh…

How is this insulting? There probably are not many more than 100 players who qualify as stars, with the term “star” being taken as someone who’s clearly one of the best high school…

The real quote is I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me. I will point out Scal was highly touted by other members of those Celtics teams as being an excellent 1:1 player, not to …

For lingual reasons or other reasons?

I don't think it's 'awful' for a person to live in debt. The richest Americans have loads of debt. A significant part of the American Dream is to own a house which is essentially d…

Well hasn’t he been a best selling author for 4 decades now?

"The motion to make him a citizen of the Eternal City was spearheaded by Raggi, from the left-leaning Five Star Movement, and won cross-party support." Do they call Rome, Virginia,…

Interesting that over those 25 years I can think of 1, maybe 2 start-ups that really succeeded being remote-first.

Okay, the article specifically says there is no real price growth to tuition.

I mean in this particular case it’s a fair question, the top question is a literal contradiction of the entire purpose of the article

Not sure there's really a discussion about equivalency to be made here - what it is is wrong inherently. A human doing it by drawing or meticulously rendering each frame of a digit…

It’s porn of a person made without their consent, not really all so different.

For most Americans, it is definitely out of reach.
