I don't know the particular "listen to women" trend you're referring to there but, as you say, there is no doubt that women hold diverse and independent views like men do.

So no statement by some or other advocate can legitimately claim to be the viewpoint of all women. Myself, I also wouldn't want that to be a bar that must be cleared to get onto the platform and take the mic.

We can listen even as women debate their own varied viewpoints with other women. And women themselves must call out and challenge the misrepresentations made in their name, it's a responsibility that comes with the mic.

What you said more or less, plus my 2c.

And if we left a population of SOTA LRMs on an island for long time, would we return to find that they had done the same?

Something like Robin Hood in the final analysis?

I am subjected to periodic performance reviews, you know.

There was that "smart contract" idea back when immutable distributed ledgers were in fashion. I still struggle to see the approach being workable for anything more complicated (and muddied) than Hello World level contracts.

That sounds pretty heavy on theatre and pretty light on insight!

My cupboard server at home is 2007 vintage ThinkPad I inherited from my father's discarded machines. The battery is gone and the CPU fan is shot so the processor sits at about 80 degrees C and gets thermally throttled very aggressively indeed should any work come its way (little does, and Debian doesn't ask much of it either). I didn't hold out much hope for its longevity but the damn thing just keeps running.

I wouldn't be surprised if its DVD drive is also okay and if you gave me a disc I could read the stuff off of it for you. Now there's something not everyone can do these days.

Et tu, Mozilla?

ClearCase. You just triggered my PTSD!

Oh we can have something stronger than almost a guarantee, I have first hand anecdotes of documents from the financial services sector being fed to ChatGPT for polishing. They weren't trade secrets but their classifications were INTERNAL, _and higher_.

Offer a 100% money back guarantee if the user finds that the software is not fit for purpose :)

"We'll fix our hardware bugs in software" :)

You've gotta be nuts not to be psychotic in a world like this one.

Thanks, I had no idea I was flirting with posting abusive content!

You can go one better.

N choose 2 = N! / 2!(N-2)! = N(N-1) / 2.

Even if you are a data person. The ASF doesn't mind overlap between projects [1], it spreads its bets and lets the market choose the winners.

Nicotine is odourless.

Pretty strong cult vibes :/

I agree, Little Boys or Fat Mans per second would be make me think more of physical power and less of kill rate.

I wonder whether the problem could even become sufficiently well defined to admit any agreed upon loss function? You must debate with the goal of maximising the aggregate wellbeing (definition required) of all living and future humans (and other relatable species)?

We get multiple hits from Google (though not always ranked by merit). We can scan a few and we often find forum style threads containing valuable elaboration or criticism of the primary material.

It would take excruciating gymnastics to justify a claim like this. And I'm not a fan of either entity.

Is making bricks out of oil as bad as burning it?

Come back to Debian (testing, if you want new package versions).

Musk's ideas are both good and original. But the ones that are good are not original, and the ones that are original are not good.

A file of SQL code is commonly referred to as a script.

Touché.

Normally a question like "I need last quarters sales aggregated by region stat" would be trivially answered with a pivot table or OLAP cube built from a general purpose data warehouse. But there are also ad hoc reporting requirements that call for non trivial coding by a data analyst, e.g. "We think there's something fishy going on with the stock in warehouse B. Can you take this list of serial numbers and overlay their dispatch timestamps with the staff shift schedule, then ... etc."

Absolutely, this can be seen in the broker's spreads.
