In a small company noone would try to label you “l5” or “l6” and probably an actual human would make your comp decision. You take the byzantine incentive structure away and people just try to do a good job.

Across all sports the US has over 3 times china’s all time medal totals in both summer and winter games. Not even having double is a pretty significant underperformance.
Maybe we should conclude gun culture makes a nation better at track and field because people get more practice running away 😂
Yeah fuck suicidal people and anyone killed by cops they had it coming. Jesus christ.
As for “justifiable homicide”, you mean like… when the other guy had a gun… You want to discount those deaths why?
If we take your number at face value. This is kind of a trolley problem thing right. Should 99 people get to have a nice day out at the range once a month, which they could easily replace with any other leisure activity, if it means one person has to die violently. If you honestly like those odds then fair play mad max.
You missed the point. Saying that calling it “fun” is problematic doesn’t imply that you can’t have fun, of course you can (I have, a tonne). I assume the above comment called it problematic because they weighed the “fun” of gun owners against 40k dead Americans a year and decided maybe we shouldn’t be focusing on the entertainment.
You can absolutely have more gun control and not really inhibit firearm sports or hunting BTW. The USA ought to have a monopoly on Olympic shooting medals if that weren’t the case 😅
Not wanting to to call the private ownership of deadly weapons fun is hardly “intense”. Of anything it undersells the point.
Speaking as someone who enjoyed regular target rifle practice and competitions for the best part of a decade since you insist that matters.

2·4 months agoPro tip. If you turn the volume down and hold it to your ear you can still listen to whatever without anyone else hearing. Like we used to be able to hear the other end of the line without others hearing in the old days when we used phones to phone people.
Isn’t the biggest risk that you can’t shift your weight enough in emergency braking? The stopping distance must be horrible.
Yeah but how many users are actually that brave/stupid? 100kph feels FAST on a motorbike, I can’t imagine how it feels on one of these 😬
Am actually really interested in the safety stats. Would guess on those things you aren’t doing more than 40, so probably not too bad for rider vs e.g. motorbikes where the temptation is to crazy speeds. And with it being smaller/lighter than a car it’s clearly safer for pedestrians and other vehicles.
I’ve seen that said, yet there are no stills from said movie, just this one photo. No comment anywhere from the people behind the movie, who would surely love the viral advertising.
My love life involves a lot of choking the chicken too.

11·6 months agoThiiis. The insiders need to laud the goals of protesters and the protesters need to ease off on the “complicit” insiders a bit. We are on the same team, and the combination of approaches is more powerful. Disagreeing on methods is fine, you pull, we push, momentum baby.
There are ways to resist short of burning shit down. The idea that this is a dichotomy is exactly the “yet you participate in society, interesting” meme.
What fucks with me is that you can’t control all the variables. School and peers can outweigh the ideas you try to put forward. I feel like I’m working on deprogramming more than I actually have a chance to teach already and my kids are only small.

2·7 months ago“undetectable failure rate”. Not at all, we can detect failures by critically reading the output, just as we would with, say, a newspaper article. I think part of the danger is that we might start to think of an LLM as a reasoning calculator, rather than treating it like a person: biased, conflicted, malicious, whatever.

2·1 year agoYeah, I the flaws define the character, more even than the relationship with Watson in my eyes. I quite enjoyed Johnny Lee miller in “elementary” the same way for actually being shown struggling.
Superhero Downey Jr type holmes’ are fine in their own way but sort of misses the point.



Not just in this field. Crap is drowning out real work in the sciences as well as arts. Both in terms of where funding goes as well as the output. It’s a cultural disaster.
