I’ve had great results asking about emulators such as PPSSPP

I’ve not seen any legitimate refutation of the Cass review so far. The 98% of studies critique was explored and rejected on More or Less: Behind the Stats on Radio4 this week. The programme can probably explain it better than me but essentially the trials of “moderate” quality were not thrown out, and were taken into consideration in the results.

Other criticisms seem more like emotional responses where people complain about the language being overly medicalised. Or similarly, the report reading like something from the past where academia considered homosexuality to be a mental disorder. Personally I don’t think the phrasing - even if it is clumsy - can delegitimise the conclusions.

You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user’s case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!

Every central bank failed to predict inflation from covid stimulus, or thought that the risk of inflation was worth taking to prevent economic collapse.

More targeted stimuli might have helped the longterm inflation figures and it might have made more sense doing that in hindsight. However it is hard to tell what problems might have arisen if they had taken that route at the time.

That’s their excuse but it is convenient for them that in order to train the AI the workers need to follow the exact same steps as what an AI would be doing if it was sufficiently trained. We can’t say as outsiders to what extent the actual work is assisted by AI. Seems likely that it is largely a manual process.

Yes, that’s where amazon got the name of their service from

I’m not exactly sure how they would have set this up given that their usual solution of Mechanical Turk does not pay their workers in cash anywhere outside of the US.

In some rural parts of the states Mechanical Turk is the largest employer but workers in other countries can only get paid in Amazon vouchers.

Somehow there are still a lot of Indian people working for Mechanical Turk though. It’s not clear if they are exchanging the vouchers or are stuck in a hellish walled garden where their wages can only be spent with their employer.

Yeah it was always suspect when this “shopping experience” came from the company behind Mechanical Turk.

Yeah people catastrophise so badly when it comes to politics. Biden is bland, uninspired and gaff-prone - however, he is a safe pair of hands. Just because a politician does not make you excited does not mean they suck.

Anecdotally, in my experience everyone in the UK just uses WhatsApp for group chats

This was supposed to be the “last” windows operating system they’d ever release.

Dropping into this thread late to mention how much I have enjoyed using marginalia.nu - the whole experience is just a joy on a desktop. Not strictly related to search but their wikipedia-type encyclopedia has has been improving a lot recently too.

https://dosdeck.com/ is a lovely website. Usually not too fussed by UX but this web app has an amazing frontend.

Yeah I’m curious too. Wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t get clarification though since this thread has turned into a bit of a bun fight.

I’m curious about how the rise of docker/kubernetes has affected these companies. I would have thought VMWare and Oracle would have been affected by the fall in the use of tools such as Vagrant for VMs.

I read it as them believing that the modern focus on identity politics on the left might be counterproductive. Not sure though, they would need to clarify.

In the UK childcare is so expensive that it has started to make sense for someone to take a career break while they are young. Unfortunately women appear to be most affected by this.

This is probably a luxury thought but I wonder if the opportunity cost of the career break not leading to promotions ends up costing a lot more than the childcare in the long run.

Idk man you might disagree with him but he made his point fairly respectfully and you replied trying to start a flame war.

I remember when it first came out I asked it to help me write a MapperConfig custom strategy and the answer it gave me was so fantastically wrong - even with prompting - that I lost an afternoon. Honestly the only useful thing I’ve found for it is getting it to find potential syntax errors in terraform code that the plan might miss. It doesn’t even complement my programming skills like a traditional search engine can do; instead it assumes a solution that is usually wrong and you are left to try to build your house on the boilercode sand it spits out at you.
