I've read a take somewhere that seemed to make sense. They don't want to get stuck with the liabilities of the content that gets posted on their platforms. So by forcing the age verification onto the users, forcing users to identify and track themselves, they can have a "clean" route to someone who posts illicit content on their platforms.

It just sucks that that's all in sacrifice of our privacy.

Hard disagree on this. The gap between the levels of statistical significance you get in economics vs physics is massive. They're not at the same levels of inevitability. The predictive power of the laws of physics vs the laws of economics is vastly different.

So people that look to chatgpt for answers and help (as they've been programmed to do with all the marketing and capabilities from openai) should just die because they looked to chatgpt for an answer instead of google or their local suicide helpline? That doesn't seem reasonable, but it sounds to me like what you're saying.

So did the user. If he didn't want to talk to a chatbot he could have stopped at any time. This sounds similar to when people tell depressed people, just stop being sad.

IMO if a company is going to claim and release some pretty disruptive and unexplored capabilities through their product, they should at least have to make it safe. You put a safety railing because people could trip or slip. I don't think a mistake that small should be end in death.

Maybe the fix to home invasion burglaries isn't increased surveillance but actually helping people? We increasingly put people in bad situations and then blame them when they lash out.

This sounds like a "first they came for the socialists..." moment. Where we might not feel oppressed with the increased surveillance but as we go further and further into the surveillance state, eventually we'll be the ones that are pushed into a bad situation where a surveillance state is used against us.

The system that is killing our planet, that exploits and ends up killing the majority of its unwilling participants? Yeah, I don't think the loss in productivity will be a bad thing. Maybe people will consider the effect of their work before doing it a little more when they don't have a gun to their head.

Did you read the article? Because it says that about half of the ones that stopped working stopped working because they were going back to school. That doesn't seem like a drain on the system...

So not sure if you read this part

Lewchuk added that while some people did stop working, about half of them headed back to school in hopes of coming back to a better job.

But they didn't just stop working, they went back to school

Itô is the name of the type of calculus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus) and calculare I think is just the plural of calculus. So something like "all the itô calculus are notable examples of fairly high level mathematics ..."

My only hope for climate change is that insurance companies start lobbying to have a more predictable environment since risk models works better when things aren't chaotic, and that gives a monetary incentice for companies to do better

Check out cronenberg's recent movie, crimes of the future, seems relevant haha

agreed, not to mention that there's things that just can't be expressed. Speaking as someone fluent in spanish and english there's nuance to some things that don't really translate well.

Reminds me of the classic yoda quote "do or do not there is no try".

It sucks there are no pictures of the actual sinkhole or forest, but this is amazing!

What about teenage engineering. Though it's kind of niche?

anyone know of anything like this for Canada? Specifically Ontario.

That's the whole concept of esperanto afaik. Google it, it's a language designed to be easy to learn.

I think they meant DDos'ing as in the person gets overwhelmed with notifications and can't actually see the notification about the password change. (i.e. the person's attention is the service)

Seeing all the comments in this thread that people have had bad experiences with pipenv, this contrasts with my own experience which has been pretty good. How has pipenv failed for everyone?

Gonna take a look at poetry, but would love to hear what problems people have had with pipenv?

Are there any of those Japanese ones you can buy in North America? Any brands you're aware of?

It would be so cool if they did not just shipping to art galleries, but also mass produced it so you could get your own fedex shipping box art at home.

So what should we be using instead of elasticsearch for logs? To mitigate that licensing risk?

Had a similar idea recently and I'm so happy someone has taken this to fruition! Would love to know when you guys can do the interviews in Spanish since I'd want to get a few of my parents and grandparents stories.

hmmm, doesn't seem to work in firefox for me?

Realy cool though!

Not to contradict your point, because I agree fully, but given how concisely you put it, I'd be interested in what your thoughts are on Freedom Mobile? I know they're kind of independent, but also their coverage sucks.

Yeah, I would argue it isn't. It's at least not a healthy democracy.

This starts to sound more and more like how they manufacture plumbuses

I find I have a better experience discovering music by making a playlist and then doing the playlist radio to get more music similar to it. Eventually it just plateaus and keeps giving me the same artists as the playlist, but there's a kind of sweet spot where I've found stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Learned a new word today. Pyrrhic.

Shouldn't we be letting biologists and ecologists make this decision?

elastic?
