Looks like authored by AI. With quite some reasoning, but no real data to back up main point.

++ should be banned, just like goto

I emailed myself many times to transfer some files between phone and computer. I would say at least once every week.

Seems like the system is heavily stacked against detainees, regardless of whether they are actually innocent or guilty.

I still don't know the exploit count for Mythos. Is it zero, one, or more?

It takes a certain amount of entitlement and lack of awareness

It takes integrity and bravery to challenge the lies of the powerful.

I suspect some of the problems are not due to Wayland, but due to Ubuntu.

I recently revived a decade-old PC with a dual-boot setup: Windows 10 and Ubuntu 24.04. While Windows ran fine, Ubuntu was a nightmare—constant freezes, random logouts, and daily crashes.

After hitting my limit, I wiped Ubuntu and installed Debian. What a difference! It’s been months without a single crash. If you're struggling with stability on older hardware, Debian might be the "boring" (in a good way) solution you need.

The projects might fail, but knowledge accumulated and scientists / engineers created from them can bring success to other areas

The lifespan of a laptop is not tied to a replaceable battery

This applies to me. My laptop is 10 years old, has 16G memory and is running Linux. I have replaced battery once before (and definitely need a new battery again now).

Edit: replace 9 years old with 10 years old

Same here. "just do X" is more informative that "do X" as it infers that "do X" is a simple thing. I would like to know that.

Also "just do X" infers that the person is very confident that "do X" will solve the issue. I like to get confident advice.

I really hope they (non-tech folks) know that a $300-$600 chromebook is way better.

One side story. There is no comments / voice on the AA side. Read like a biased article. "become a must-have" reads like exaggeration

It is commonsense to use the hardware/software authorized by your employer to do the work.

It is commonsense to use the hardware/software authorized by your employer to do the work.

One side story. It is third party app that is not authorized by AA. Instead of get permission through a contract, the app developer scraped AA's data without AA's permission.

The kids should really also apply to international schools.

If we look at not only academic, but also sports, i.e. ski, ice skating, soccer, tennis, swimming, ... etc., among competitive teams in middle schools or high schools, the number of Asian students are bigger than what one would expect from their population. You can even see this in winter Olympic:

From my chat with friends who work in the area of drug design, AlphaFold is accurate for overall structure, but is not that accurate for predicting structure around interaction locations.

What is the size of the screen? Can't find it on the page.

Comment on the functional programming and mutation of data. I learnt R before learnt python.

In R

y = c(1, 2, 3)

x = y

# now x is a copy of y

I was surprised that in python

y = [1, 2, 3]

x = y

# now x is y! What, why?

In R, I am used to the fact everything is an expression:

a = if (x > y) { 0 } else { 1 }

The title of this study "No link found between psychedelics and psychosis" should really be that "the authors did not find links between psychedelics and psychosis using their survey method".

These survey methods come with huge uncertainty and lots of pitfalls. I would not be surprised if the result in the paper is not reproducible. In fact, "over half of psychology studies fail reproducibility test"[1]

This is really about causality and science. But searching the comments, there are only 3 comments contain key word "causal" so far, only one comment contains "science".

In my view, folks who totally disregard science are no more truly intelligent than say 2500 years ago when people believe that "the natural state of an object is to be at rest" (check Wikipedia page for Aristotle).

I just ordered a pixel 6. Really hope Android/Google will have the same mode.

A way to avoid this is to make it possible to fail. I mean, when one fails medical exam, not too much pressure / shame on the student -- they can simply do other type of work.

This works for hash function as hash function does not introduce uncertainty, i.e. Y = f(X), not Y = f(x) + random_noise. I just tested it:

Any function that can be implemented in a computer is a Lebesgue measurable function.

Similar here. I tried to be in office 3 days a week, I am actually enjoying it.

One provision in the infrastructure bill Congress is debating would offer $3.5 billion to invest in zero-emissions technology at ports. It specifically prohibits investment in automation. This is a head-scratcher: government throwing its weight behind antiquated procedures when the benefits of technological innovation are so plainly manifest across all of society — from vaccines to batteries to reusable rockets and beyond.

There are two facts A (my tool can help people use FB less) and B (FB banned me), and then tell people A caused B, i.e. A --> B. In reality, it could be C --> B and C (I collect user data in a way not allowed per FB ToS) is not mentioned at all in the story-telling.

Can't believe a comment that openly discriminated China-born US citizens is now a top comment. The whole logic behind the argument (around China-born US citizens) is so weak.

It's interesting to observe that whenever R is discussed, someone talked that python is better than R in this or that area.
