So the bottom line is that a left-wing activist put out some lies in order to discredit Musk, and every single reader of the original misinformation piece swallowed it without any attempt to analyze it critically. And they say that right-wingers are the ones who are more amenable to propaganda?

Yet everyone's conclusion is, as usual, Musk bad. Nobody cares about left-wing fakes news if they are useful to the agenda being pushed forward.

The implication is that people are taking money under the table, i.e. corruption. Do you find that so hard to believe?

Euclid's Elements is absolutely not a useful book for the contemporary.

I have a feeling her husband left her because she couldn't stop talking about gender injustice, emotional labor and similar made up bs. He had enough.

I think you are overreaching a bit. The term 'quarter' in 'give no quarter' derives from the French 'quartier', which referred (in military jargon) to a section of a city or military encampment. Prisoners would be kept in 'quartier de sauveté' and 'donner quartier' is short for 'donner quartier de sauveté'. So I disagree that this is an echo of the PIE meaning. The most likely semantic development is that 'quartier', originally a quarter of something (the fourth part), came to denotate any fraction of a whole, and then was specialized in the military lexicon.

TLDR; Elon Musk is a nazi because he was born in South Africa. That's literally the content of this new hit piece.

I find hilarious the presence of a small ad for car insurance. There's no little profit I guess.

DynamoDB is not good, it's OK. Capacity upscaling and downscaling is too slow to be useful. You need to over-provision.

Beautiful. I hope European countries will use their service. We have our own bunch of criminal scum that live all too well on taxpayers money.

Being smart is a qualification.

Logseq does it already and is well-established. Probably other solutions like Obsidian can do the same. It's a tough market to be in.

No offense but why don't you memorize the songs by singing them instead? I memorized hundreds of songs just by being a dad and singing to my kids every evening. Of all the things you'd want to remember, song lyrics look to me to be the easiest by far.

If you need AI to understand and answer interview questions, you are probably among the weaker candidates. Why would the company give you money? Why not hire someone who is smart and skilled enough to think by himself, and then if he uses AI to increase his productivity that's great! AI is not a replacement for your brain, otherwise why would we hire people at all?

The context of the conversation was evidently the United States of America. If you knew anything about the history of Africa (where most "Black" men live), you would know that the horrific crimes committed by Black individuals in the last decades are several orders of magnitude worse than anything any Israeli has ever or will ever do. You are not unbiased, you are simply ignorant - which is pretty much the same thing, according to the article we are discussing here.

Around one third of all Black men in the USA commit a felony during their lifetime. Definitely not "low".

Black men commit significantly more felonies than Jews, so removing the bias basically means making the model more stupid.

I wouldn't say the author's style is unique or individual in any way. Every single tumblr blog sounds like that. You could easily create a "make edgy" function that would feed your formal writings and turn them into that kind of prose. Is it better or worth than "polish"? There's no substantial difference. The "polish" version sure sounds less exhausting than the original.

People are piling on you because they have no sound argument. I admire you for keeping your cool.

It stops being funny when you realize the root cause of this posturing is mental health issues. These people are unwell.

Hard to believe that there is 6 available seats in academia for every 10 postdoc.

Scaling in and out is too slow to be usable. DynamoDB is great though, for many of my use cases it's a very good fit.

Worth every minute, and every cell brain.

"Pactole" means "heap of money" in French slang. As in a heap of money you keep under your matrass, or a large sum you win suddenly. Hence Paktol.

The author's native language is French, not English. The article doesn't sound AI-written at all.

What makes you think it was the English? I am pretty sure it comes from continental Europe.

The real breakthrough is the 25% on Frontier Math.

I speak three languages on top of my own native language and never felt that way at all. In my opinion it's just a weird idea coming from people who like to overthink things.

Pretty sure it's not the real pg who suggested "Venmo for dogs".

This honestly looks fun. Too bad I work from home, don't think my kids would enjoy this too much.

That's not really what the article is about, though? It's pointing out that AWS, Alphabet and Meta are actively helping the Israeli government. If anything, these corporations are too effective (from the perspective of the author) rather than not enough.
