> That guy has a serious gift for explaining stuff

I'd like to challenge this idea.

I don't believe he's more gifted than other people. I strongly believe that the point is he spent a lot of time and effort to get better at explaining stuff.

He contemplated feedback and improved his explanations throughout the years.

His videos are excellent because he poured himself into making them excellent, not because he has a gift.

In my experience the professors who lack this ability do so because they don't put enough effort into it, not because they were born without it.

In my experience bunny has lower latency than cloudflare. I can confirm.

Bunny.net explicitly names third parties handling user data, while Cloudflare’s policy is more vague, referring only to "third-party service providers" without listing specific companies.

I like the bunny policy more. It is more transparent.

[Edit] Ok, I should have read better. i7-6800k is from intel and not from the stone age.

Are you sure your 68000 machine had 32Gb of ram? If memory serves me well it was most likely 32 Mb.

68020 has a 32 bit address space, so the maximum RAM it can handle is 4Gb

Why not at least 9? Or 5?

I think it would be best to focus on the deterrent effect for the future: we need a law that makes this business strategy not viable. Not on punishing bad behavior that already happened. Maybe such law already exists, but we need more enforcement. Or a better thought out law.

I don't think it's important if _that_ person gets jail time. I would not particularly rejoice at the news. But if somehow this practice was made impossible or impractical, I'd

This is an incredibly useful investigation! Did you publish it somewhere?

Did you mean increase?

A majority of people thinks it's not useless.

What core features do you believe need fixing?

I think the problem with fiber in general is not availability, but deployment cost. You need to dig and bury the fiber. That's expensive.

Yep! Less than 1B in total [0]:

Let me add that this change compounds over time. More efficient studying results in more competent people. I believe it's very hard to measure the impact, but there is a very positive long term impact from how much these tools help with learning.

What do you mean "suggest"? To whom? You should do it yourself if you think it's a good idea.

Sorry to pick on this detail, but I don't understand why TFA uses 2008 as year of Google Maps release. My memory (and Wikipedia) say 2005. I think I figured it out : in October 2009 Google maps introduced turn by turn directions.

Reading your comment it sounds like Wear OS [0] is not a thing. But it is... So the market for watches paired with non-iOS phones is not empty.

I would argue anything requiring insights on spelling is a hard problem for an LLM: they use tokens, not letters. Your point still stands, but you need different examples IMO.

It's not like people condemning the choice of the name are unable to find the humor. We do find it. We are briefly entertained. Then we pause and ponder. Is it a good idea to use a negative stereotype in a joke? Don't we run the risk of confirming the stereotype even more?

We then find out that our answer to that question is "no". And we bring up the issue with other people.

There is no "inability to find humor" at play here.

Are you aware of this Wikipedia page? [0] I think you should motivate why you believe that what is described in that page should not be called "constitution". Or articulate why you believe that thing does not exist. Or at least motivate your statement. Where does it come from?

This post from three months ago discusses the donut tutorial (a famous blender course) and another one I've never heard about.

https://old.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1eekomd/beginner_d...

I think to get an expert answer on the topic you'll need to listen to what a beginner has to say, so I believe the link I provided is a good source to look into.

I believe that 0 will be a higher number next year. And an even higher the following year.

The term "indexes" serves both as the third-person singular present tense of the verb "to index" and as a plural noun form of "index." In contrast, "indices" is the traditional plural form of "index," particularly prevalent in mathematical and scientific contexts. While "indexes" is commonly used in general English, "indices" is often preferred in technical fields to maintain linguistic precision. Employing "indices" in such contexts helps distinguish between the action of indexing and the plural form of index, thereby enhancing clarity.

Yes! And the most interesting thing here, to me, is how the crowd splits in two groups: one group basically saying "That's how it goes, if you wan to get paid (and you're not intelligent if you don't) you need to play this game, even if you don't like it" and the other saying "This is unacceptable. We need to first recognize that the state of things is not good, so that we can then act and change them. So let's start by stating that this should not be accepted. It's wrong to accept it".

I belong to the latter group.

I remember a time when it was considered unpolite to ask a question without googling first. Is it still the case?

I believe they can as long as you're able to identify a contained task that touches no more than a handful of files. Still very useful to automate some tedious work or refactoring if you ask me.

Have you tried https://aider.chat ?

> I'm pretty sure effective altruists have the same question, crunched the numbers, and figured out it was something like malaria nets or similar interventions in developing countries.

I wonder how much real world experience goes into these calculations. For instance the theory of malaria nets can be quite different from reality. From Wikipedia [1]:

> Where mosquito nets are freely or cheaply distributed, local residents sometimes opportunistically use them inappropriately, for example as fishing nets. When used for fishing, mosquito nets have harmful ecological consequences because the fine mesh of a mosquito net retains almost all fish, including bycatch such as immature or small fish and fish species that are not suitable for consumption. In addition, insecticides with which the mesh has been treated, such as permethrin, may be harmful to the fish and other aquatic fauna.

Do I understand correctly that you could to this with OBS on any platform, including Wayland? I'm reading many comments that make me think either many people don't know about OBS, or I'm overestimating it's abilities.

We tried to use it alongside pouchdb to provide offline first experience. We ran into a lot of issues, mainly with pouchdb bugs. Then after reading this list [1] of issues in the couchdb architecture we decided to ditch it and stop trying to make pouchdb work.

I tried to subscribe to an online newspaper in my country.

Subscription was very easy. When I wanted to end it, they made it purposefully hard for me to do. I think it's unacceptable, and should be outlawed: the process to unsubscribe should be as hard (or easy) as the one to subscribe.

Since newspapers (at least that specific one) have no problem doing this as long as it's legal, why should the public be more observant of ethics?

I thought the Brave browser would provide such a solution. I was very disappointed to find out it's not an intended use case.
