Code? I hand-craft every HTTP response myself

Thanks! I was confused by this

Or equally, you wouldn't expect a word processor to refuse to print morally questionable material.

The morals that leading models like ChatGPT are also aligned to a very American puritanism - ChatGPT will refuse to discuss sex, for example - and errs on the side of conservatism.

I think it's a side effect of the hype around AI. If AI can destroy humanity we better make sure we can't do anything nasty with it!

Sometimes it scrolls down, sometimes it pages left. And if you want to go back using the browser you will have to click click click through each page!

If you are in the situation where you are shipping a web app where one dev team controls the backend and the one and only client and ships both together, is this a big issue?

This seems to be getting pendantic about nomenclature.

There is no "true serverless", there is only the usage of the word that the majority of people use, which is to mean server-as-a-service. Nobody suggested it's a way to avoid lock-in. It's a way to avoiding managing servers.

I don't see the problem here.

I really hope this touchscreen trend in cars dies, and soon.

This doesn't cause an exit for me on GNU bash (3.2.57)

How is that different from `while !`?

This is an odd argument. I'd bet the environmental impact of a battery farm chicken is less than a free-roaming chicken, in terms of hectares of land use, feed (less energy expended from movement), water use.

So if you are vegetarian for environmental reasons and had to eat a chicken, you should go with the battery-farmed one.

You would go with the (arguably mythical) happy chicken if you were vegetarian for moral reasons.

That computer scientists think that they are even close to replicating biology and the mammal brain with AI is complete hubris. This is biology inspired engineering, it's not like we are building brains out of silicon here.

There is some debate about whether or not to prepare formula with 70C/160F water.

The NHS in the UK for example, says to do so (under "Reducing the risk of infection"):

However some, in particular Emily Oster, argue that the risk is negligible and that having an overly complicated set of steps for tired parents to follow is counter-productive:

From my understanding the current general advice from public health authorities is to use 70C/160F water.

I love this :)

Not for me. It's readable, but my brain has to do more work. When I get to "money-rather" my brain trips up slightly, and then I'm confused until the next dash, then I go back and figure it out.

All possible and dealt with in under a second, but in the first example with the longer dash my brain recognises a parenthesis and I take a little "breath pause" before carrying on.

This one looks like a shallow water simulation, rather than a fluid simulation in the sense of handling pressure etc. Rendering is gorgeous though!

What now?

This immediately made me think of Dave Matthews Band...

This is a false dichotomy.

Seafowl (https://www.splitgraph.com/blog/seafowl), which was only launched a couple of days ago, is a database that can be hosted statically

Am I missing something, or is this basically "copy this into your terminal" followed by "oh look, it did something"?

The only thing I don't like about Svelte is the reactive blocks, prefixed with $:. There are a number of gotchas, like updating complex objects, which make things a bit...implicit rather than explicit.

I get $9,088.22 on an online inflation calculator. Although I do wonder whether uranium is included in the consumer price inflation index!

When you say "operator": isn't it all BVG?

Android automatically re-enabling Bluetooth after I just turned it off irks me to no end. It feels like a violation of the contract that I have with my phone.

Also get this on Firefox on Android. Would love to restart the step but it looks like you would have to cancel the whole tour and start over.

Really enjoyed it though! Love the retro vibe.

That's a false dichotomy if I ever saw one.

I'm guessing you're from the US and the parent poster is from the EU?

I am in a similar situation to you. I've been lucky to work on a few projects where I've been able to use my skills in applied mathematics—often a bit of statistics or optimisation—but I'd love for my job to have a stronger focus on applied mathematics.

Thank you very much, I'll look into that.

You're confusing having value to others with having value to yourself.

I can be happy with a nice rock I found on the beach if I really love it and it's important to me. However, what we are taking about here is are assets which have a wider value on an open market.
