Dunking on people is like half the value of twitter-like platforms. I only go on twitter (or I'm guessing bluesky) to see politicians and journalists and pundits and celebrities ge…

...what is there to debunk?

Presumably the database needs to be distributed to servers, too. The engine needs to access something. This is a necessity whether or not it's referred to as a binary.

Reading without write contention is not a terribly difficult problem. You could use any database and it'd work fine. It's the mutations that distinguish db engines. Sqlite is indee…

This comment appears to be the only place between article and thread where mongo getting recommended is even mentioned. Maybe stop giving them free press. I certainly haven't heard…

I imagine the original use of "bull market" was derived from this practice. If this isn't the case i have no clue myself.

I'm very aware of these archives. They are very clearly not sufficient to train a model to interpret asl to the standards of corporate america. Let alone the standards of an arbitr…

Yup, that's a failed language.

Sure, but this completely neglects the aspects of humanity we left behind moving into sedentary communities. We will be forever blind to what we lost, and the morons among us will …

Hard to imagine this hasn't already been done for decades. What role would AI play?

ASL seems like a really hard problem. I've learned a fair bit myself being friends with a few interpreters and deaf people and two different people can sign the same thing in a way…

...than untrained humans, presumably, because otherwise how would you produce the model?

The working class should complain, that's their role in liberal democracy. Better complain about energy prices than armies of invading muslim rapists.

Why not both? We've been claiming to want to reduce carbon emissions since before I was born. It's not even a hard pitch—if we're insanely wealthy and have the capacity to discuss …
