Do you think anyone involved in this project ever tested and evaluated this bed? How do you think businesses work in general? They built a bed that lasts only 1 day but decided to …

I am sorry? You would "prefer" 100 real beds to 1000 cardboard beds when there is a need for 1000 beds? That's nice, the rest 900 people can sleep on the ground as along as this is…

This is a puzzling display of confidence. Have you ever slept on the ground after a long hard day of dealing with a natural or a man-made disaster? Getting into ANY bed is the only…

Practical (bending down is harder), sanitary (the dirt is usually on the floor), safety (connecting any medical equipment is more dangerous, administering drugs is awkward and also…

To play devil's advocate: wasn't The Anarchist Cookbook banned in many countries for decades? And actually was found to have been used by many notorious criminals?

Who needs to consider the opinion of the majority? We have direct evidence that these questions have already been answered: the creators of LLMs censor whatever they want without a…

Isn't it more difficult to set up a local LLM than to use a Tor Browser for queries like that?

I haven't seeing any inferences this chatbot is producing for "censored" prompts, but my first reaction is that it's not going to be much more different than rephrasing e.g. a Wiki…

This is a good point that I don’t see very often. Video producers who have an explicit (or even an implicit) agreement with YouTube and depend financially on the earnings that it p…

That's an interesting case. I honestly don't know what is more accurate here: to show more recent photos after the transition or ignore that and mostly show the older photos that r…

Oh I see your point. If I had a car with a horrible climate control precision controlled via a touch display - I would be furious. In my mind I am comparing Tesla's automatic clima…

What you express is so perfectly reasonable that the downvotes are likely just an emotional reaction, not something people would be able to articulate clearly as a logical argument…

Ah, finally a trustworthy unmanipulated search engine coming from an honest uncensored country.

I doubt "we take action to protect the community" has a clear legal definition. Their "community" could be people without an internet connection too (e.g. everyone in Los Angeles b…

Billions of birds each year just in the US.

Guess you and I represent the opposite sides of the UX argument. I could never find the CD I wanted to listen to by touch (in a case of about 3 dozen CDs)! Seems like you mastered …

A gentle reminder that cats are responsible for a significant destruction of the wildlife in the US (and the world). Please be a responsible pet owner and don't let your cat run ou…

I see this argument all the time. Any data to support it? Has AC UI caused many accidents and worsened road safety? Personally I find most physical AC controls in cars awkward to u…

The more I uses Kagi (paid) the more I am feeling sad for the possibility that it might go away if it doesn't get more traction. For me you represent an incredible accomplishment: …

Someone mentioned in this thread that a likely scenario is these landlords switching to mid- or long-term rentals instead of selling. Which sounds very plausible to me, especially …

Huh. According to this post the payment-to-income ratio now is around where it was in the early 2000s, but is higher than in the 1990s. Both still significantly lower than the 40% …

Both West London and (surprisingly) East London had many unoccupied houses a few years back. Even in areas around Hackney road / Bethnal Green, which I would guess are not even rea…

Haven't heard of this change! Thanks for posting. Curious to see how this will affect the STVR market (even just the number of postings and their availability on AirBnb).

Without posting the details, was 13% that your parents paid a significant chunk of their joint earnings? This is the more important aspect of the current situation, not the percent…
