"Smart" accounting by not counting design, planning, procurement timelines would explain it, that makes sense. If that's the case, it's saddening to see details like this hyped up …

> Groq built the region's largest inference cluster in eight days in December 2024. From that Dammam facility, GroqCloud serves "nearly four billion people regionally adjacent to t…

I totally get that, I am ESL too, and I have a similar approach for English-based word games. And yeah that often results in mild disappointment or frustration instead of an "Aha!"…

I don't understand this position, do you have direct evidence that Google actively made search worse? Before I'm misunderstood I do want to clarify that IMO, the end user experienc…

Haha, I know what you mean! Though in fairness, Wyna Liu isn't beyond throwing in a "mostly works" category from time to time... Wild tangent incoming... One instance that recently…

I've played enough NYT connections that this was immediate for me, at the expense of the promised "Aha!" moment. :D

Another +1 comment under it is far more likely to make more people mute the issue if anything. Spamming "google pls fix" just adds to the noise at this point.

Would be hard to get in Canada without provincial health cards, if I had to guess.

I can believe it, if only based on the times I've heard Danielle Smith speak.

Definitely, I don't think official channels recognized aerosolized transmission until way too late, and even when they did it was very low key and non-committal. I'm on team "ball …

Right, but if memory serves me correctly droplet based transmission was the prevailing theory for the first few months while the WHO was oscillating like a pendulum on its masking …

There is so much complexity in interactions of systems that is easy to miss. Saying that one can understand a modern CPU by understanding how a transistor works is kinda akin to sa…

But you see, the destruction of your house is (protecting) nature. I'm being facetious, and agree with your point. But I'd go further to say protecting nature is too vague a goal s…

I don't think the general hatred of corporate personhood stems from the logical or taxonomic absurdity of it. Rather, I sense it comes from the perceived effects of it, that in the…

I might be that guy soon. I really don't like Bitwarden's extensions, they have clunky UX, are slow and often don't even respect my settings. Autofill is a crapshoot, especially on…

I don't know about online forums, but all my IRL friends have a lot more balanced takes on AI than this forum. And honestly it extends beyond this forum to the wider internet. Onli…

> Oh, the FIRE community. I think you may be confused, I'm not part of the FIRE community. I'm only taking the statement that "doing meaningful things is not financially sensible" …

> There's so much in life that makes no financial sense that creates meaning. The moment you start having to think sensibly from a financial perspective, is when so many of these t…

I am getting better at it, and I am trying. It's the potential framing of this as a character trait worth scoffing at I wanted to push back against. Even though it is a learned ski…

Yup, when the data breach happens the headlines aren't going to be "Random well meaning researchers caught in data breach exposing user data". They're going to be: "5 million Faceb…

That still sounds like assigning blame and a vague call to "change lifestyle", instead of concrete action plans for energy, manufacturing, transportation and agricultural sectors. …

I do this a lot, sorry. My ADHD brain really wants to take an active part in the conversation or else I'm likely to get distracted by my own thoughts and zone out for the next coup…

Let me add my third way of doing this in vim: :%s/ /replacement/(gcn) As you can guess invokes a special register that contains the "word" currently under the cursor.

"It would create panic" is a crutch that causes more destruction than it purportedly prevents. If you treat people like children, they behave like children.

There's no one stopping you from engaging in critical thought watching a YouTube video either. And some of the most interesting conversations I've had with my partner about the wor…
