Note it’s all nationally significant infrastructure, not just data centres. And thank god because this country can’t even build a rail line without having to fight every minor concern by anyone who feels like complaining. It makes big projects impossible and the whole country suffers. Infrastructure is vital.

With a harness you could feed the code to a linter and if there are errors feed that to a model automatically. It’s amazing that the models are good enough that I haven’t bothered doing this

Children will pay nothing, same as very mentally ill or extremely disabled people.

Why? The dashes?

Make it so that they don’t birth and rear but instead birth and then rear with a partner who will contribute equally. Also financial subsidies so that a child becomes at least neutral in terms of cost. Social help to make raising a child less exhausting. Improve the climate to that we can be positive about the child’s future. All difficult but not impossible.

Perhaps the engineer could sit down for 8 hours a day during the work week. The Silicon Valley obsession with having no life and working weekends is so endemic.

Is this proven?

Book stores did not stop existing. They are everywhere. Book sales are up in recent times.

The reason is cost, LIDAR is expensive.

This article feels like it’s about what and how this person stores their dotfiles and then has two lines about them feeling too personal to share. I’m surprised it’s so highly voted since it’s basically “I use stow”.

Must be due to the interesting title.

Having roommates (aka sharing a home) when you leave your family home has been the norm forever. Roommates are not poverty

How do you expect them to make a living? News and magazines were always behind a paygate.

Have you seen them in real life? They are much more interesting in person.

Ireland did not eliminate its native population.

If your pr deploys a machine learning model then that would be a suitable comment. I suppose the idea is similar, we can determine that this drug helps so a (hopefully) statistically significant degree so even if we don’t know how it works we want to use it.

If you are using vscode in the copilot chat you can use @workspace and it tries to get the relevant files and context.

To be honest after reading this article I think the title should be “Humans have transformed the isle of Rum’s landscape”

Yes and to add on to that, the reason this decision is criticised is that it is very difficult or even impossible to properly blind a puberty blocking study. If you give people fake puberty blockers and then they start to go through puberty blockers they will be aware. Same goes for the reverse.

Edit: I did a bit more reading and had a look at an trans group’s reaction to this report: https://transactual.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/TransActual-Br... . Certainly not as clear cut as the article makes it out to be. It seems like a decent amount of the evidence regarding puberty blockers was excluded for dubious reasons.

Interesting article. I have to say I was shocked at the lack of evidence re puberty blockers. I was not shocked that the nhs was trying to hide any true measurements of the effectiveness of its treatments.

At the end of the day we all want kids to have a good, happy life. If puberty blockers are not some easily reversible intervention with few side effects then maybe we should not give them out. Although I’m not sure that it has been proven to be harmful, more research needed?

I am a bit conflicted with the authors opinion that we should not offer full medical transition to adults. I mostly believe adults should be able to do as they wish if they are not hurting anyone (seemingly in accordance with the authors liberal ideology). But we all have to agree that at 18 we were not always capable of making the right decisions for us. I know trans people who transitioned in their late 20s and they are the most happy they have ever been.

Thankfully we have true scientists happy to do the hard yards of creating reports like the one described. Brave and difficult work.

What do you want to world to do? Russia is already under increasingly crippling sanctions and many countries are funding + arming its opponent in a war.

Free school meals don’t happen everywhere at all times. Food banks are incredibly stretched. Many people are not “reasonable” but have alcohol/ drug dependencies or mental health issues and so their children suffer. Even if they manage to give their kids enough food the rest of their life can be incredibly difficult.

Aren’t the guarantees the SLA that is agreed with Amazon, Google etc?

Yet again the workers suffer from the incompetence of the ownership class.

Won them two world wars when losing is famously bad for the economy.

I have never worked with anyone doing 12 hours a day 5 days a week as usual. Then again I’m in Europe .

As a straight person I also think it’s strange. I’ve had mixed gender friends my whole life and I’ve never had an issue.

Liberals are not a moderate part of a socialist faction. They critique the democrats like they critique republicans because neither are in any way compatible with socialism.

So you have any data to back this up? A gas station parking lot is a safe as a McDonalds. They are often covered with CCTV too.

Since his cuts Twitter seems like it would be worth a lot less than he paid for it. And twitter shipped before him.

Maybe this is because I’m not that smart but I could not learn real kubernetes in a day. I had to build a system for loading models and returning predictions over a HTTPS api. It had to connect to storage to load the model, needed secrets etc. It took more than a day. And I think it would take most people more than a day to go from zero to able to create a useful, real world deployment in a day. I’m sure you can rush through the documentation in a day but I wouldn’t call that learning.
