I think there's conflating of problems here (at for the moment let's talk about primary school K-12 rather than university level). There is a fundamental problem with a good percen…

This actually a legit question under the surface. The problem, in my opinion, is that MZ/CC/AA-D, are feeling that they have to be releasing models of some flavor every month to st…

it's a joke

This is pretty much the first half of the article (until the archive.is link starts working): "Google is eliminating its goal of hiring more employees from historically underrepres…

Since you seem relatively open minded and objective about it let me ask you this: How much did you get paid for doing all those consulting gigs on DEI topics? Just to point out, ev…

Made out of manilla file folders is approximately correct for the state of Air India's fleet right now.

Here in California (and generally in the US, as well as other places where the cost of enforcing laws seems to be growing too costly/unpalatable), we seem increasingly interested i…

A company wants to enforce its copyright, etc., fine. That's their right to do so. Although I beg to differ with our copyright laws. No, what I find objectionable about the NYT gam…

I guess if a core part of your belief system is that an unexplainable deity speaks through only certain people who you need to trust without good reason to, small problems like thi…

I commented a few times here over the years criticizing decriminalization as it came up as an option, against loud / vociferous people saying, how can you continue to embrace crimi…

If decriminalization relies on a whole raft of practically infeasible (or very expensive) associated programs to make it work, is it really a viable strategy?

Serious , and almost inevitably danger / criminal- and life-destroying behavior inducing drugs.

Two (?) some years ago a review story about Oregon's decriminalization policy was here on HN and I said that I didn't think it was a good idea, and was kind of shouted down by peop…

Regardless of the issue here, I just want to say that I'm glad we put up such high standards for allowing people with skills into this country. Because if we didn't, we'd have rand…

Constant puzzle to me: Video is just made up of single sequential still images. Why are the color issues / tuning of videos like 100x more complicated and involve so many more tool…

At this point I would've imagined Apple would have a moon detection feature and just replace it with a stock image cutout when detected in the field of view.

Can you say a bit more what you think was the factor? -- more control of depth of field / shallower DoF ability? -- faster shutter speeds? -- less chromatic aberrations? It doesn't…

At what point do you realize that you've become one of those collectors of weird railroad information that isn't really useful but somehow interesting to know? And how do you reali…

I think if the proper question is asked, you get the right answer. The issue is whether people understand what is the proper question. The proper question is, "would you rather liv…
