  1. Infinity times better coukd be a better hyperbole, very goos game versus no good. Dividing by zero gets you infinity instead of just 100
  2. That's not clear at all, at best your statement is controversial if not outright dubious.
  3. Constant anger surely is. But it is also a damn good spark at times. Just can't let it fester.
  4. Your example is weird tbh. Gates was doing capitalist things that were evil. His philanthropy is good. There is no contradiction here. People can do good and bad things.
  5. I feel that's overly easy to label someone else as lazy. Some people might be of course, but we dont have insight into their inner selves. And so we dont know ehat burdens they are carrying and grappling with currently.

    What looks like laziness might actually be very prudent resource conservation if you know the whole story.

  6. Because AI content is at minimum controversial nowadays. And if you are ok with lying about authorship then It is not further down the pole to embelish the lie a bit more
  7. Chip making has very has barrier of entry. Between fab cost and access to talent you are really not looking at an enticing business opportunity.

    Free market is not as free as the name would imply.

  8. Case in point Chile and Salvador Allende.
  9. I can throw another example /r/lectures was a really cool place were people shared mostly academic lectures. Mod took over, put the sub in approved posts only and is just doing token approves very rarely without any way to reclaim the sub.
  10. Cooking is vast. Being hung up on a very specific ingredient is really weird if you ask me.
  11. Indeed. I always dabbled with Linux here and there. W11 was the final straw for me as well. I feel like LLMs help a ton too, not only do they make initial troubleshooting much easier, they also are pretty great at generating simple scripts that enhance the system.

    I'm so happy to have made the swap, using my system is now much more enjoyable and if I don't like some aspect of it I can change it up with MUCH less effort than in Windows.

    Also I'm positively surprised how good gaming on Linux is now. It was always a big blocker to full commitment to Linux.

  12. I think there is a good flipside too. LLMs potentially enable generating custom made tooling tailored just for you. If you can get/provide data it's pretty easy to cook up solutions.

    As an example - I'd never bother with mobile app just for myself since it's too annoying to get into for a somewhat small thing. Now I can chug along and have LLM fill in quickly my missing basic in the area.

  13. This question is pretty hard to answer without knowing the actual costs.

    Current offerings are usually worth more than they cost. But since the prices are not really reflective of the costs it gets pretty muddy if it is a value add or not.

  14. Why are you allowing yourself to not keep it to yourself, while demanding so of others?
  15. Lack of critical thinking is a bit of a worldwide schooling system failure. Underfunding on one hand and not having an education plan for people to develop those skills leads to what we have. Some are lucky to get those skills from home or from top tier schools.

    I imagine that this state of things was somewhat beneficial for the ruling elites but Russia is now showing the whole western world, that dumb population is a huge liability.

  16. Yeah that's def part of it. As fun as it is there is just too much of it and people jump for it too readily, tidyverse included.
  17. This is obviously a personal thing but tidyverse syntax is great and lends itself very well to clear and concise data operations.
  18. It's general purpose and really there is no issue with doing production with it really outside of the mindset and the lispy nature of it. Source - was working on R in production for financial sector.
  19. You are overselling ADHD meds by quite a bit. There is plenty of data in literature that quite a bit of people will not respond positively to meds. So if they work for you that's great. But lightly shaming someone by implying they might be anti medicine is super uncool and as an ADHD person you really should know better. Lets not invalidate each other just because experiences are not exactly the same.
