It's both. It's insane to me someone can watch animals instinctively display insanely complex behaviors untaught (e.g. herding by australian shepards) and the scientific research to reduce aggression in a related species before coming to the conclusion that there is no way whatsoever that nature is a significant component. Oh, and just completely ignore breeds bred for traits and behaviors seemed desirable for every domesticated animal.
Nature has no place at all it's only nurture. Sure.
Before I can answer if your "criticisms" would be allowed in any communities, I need to see it.
So let's see it, what criticisms are you looking to have allowed?
another vote for walkaway - i got hooked on the idea of "git, but for houses"
But....that's the point. That's why it's brought up. It's to show the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of their position.
I never said not to teach it. Construct a mandatory general computer literacy program. Cover privacy, security, recommendation algorithms, AI, etc. And restrict AI use in other classes until they are competent in both. College? High school?
Not once did I talk about banning it or restricting information. And ..... So much other irrelevant stuff.
It's not Luddism to recognize that foundational knowledge is essential to effectively utilizing tools in every industry, and jumping ahead to just using the tool is not good for the individual or the group.
Your example is iconic. Do you think the average middle schoolers to college students that are using AI understand anything about self hosting, token limits, and optimizing things by banning keywords? Let alone how prone to just making shit up models are - because they were designed to! I STILL get enterprise chatgpt referencing scientific papers that don't exist. I wonder how many students are paying for premium models. Probably only the rich ones.
Yes. People need to get out and fucking vote. Anything less than 80% participation in a presidential election is shameful.
But you need to do some background I think. California 22 might be "only" 3k, but it was 53%-47% in 2024. It's also voted Republican since 2002 (1) The real headfuck about CA-22 is how it's 73% Hispanic and reliably red.
Same shit with CA-3. "Only 24,000 votes" - they won that district by ten bloody points 55%-45%. There were 400,000 votes in the district. Thought it's a little more purple. (2)
Also, your numbers are off compared to wiki. Not sure where the discrepancy is but CA-22 and CA-3 were lost by 11,000 and 46,000 respectively.
I think you're underestimating how much he has ruined this company and his reputation. I dreamt of owning a Tesla long ago. Now, there is nothing he can do that will make me reconsider purchasing a Tesla.
Even if he leaves the company, I will not buy one. Even if he fully divests from Tesla, I will not buy one.
What would their response look like if it were almost entirely hyperbole and fiction?
Would they just let that sit on shelves uncontested orrrrr...would they launch a PR blitz to discredit the author and book?
I have the new pixel fold. The first and most important part is to understand how Google views the warranty on the inner screen.
Within two weeks I had what seemed to be hairline fractures on the inner screen and a potential artifact in the fold crease. I wasn't too worried but I was going to have them check on it. Before I could take it in to the Google store, it snapped. The entire screen flooded black within 14 hours when I went back to the store.
I was informed that this wasn't covered under warranty, but they'd make an exception because i literally bought it two weeks prior.
Their stance is that once the screen is that fatally flawed manufacturing defects and misuse damage (i.e. dropping) looks identical. The curvy bendy middle means the outer edges are under more stress and stiffer so when the screen breaks even from defects or creates impact shatter lines.
Based on this alone, I wouldn't recommend anyone get the phone. Not without expecting to have to pay for the insurance plan and to budget for replacing the inner screen at least once. It's significantly heavier and with the fear of breaking, I have a heavy duty dbrand case. So the phone feels like a bloody brick.
That said, I do love it. And I don't know if I'll go back. I don't know if I'll stick to the form factor either. I do a lot of home server shenanigans on it. Home assistant. Control my tv. I live multi-tasking on it when taking notes. I could buy a phone and a tablet for cheaper. But there's something about just having the extra size always handy rather than having to walk around the house with a mini-tablet.
Just be aware that there are huge, glaring downsides to the form factor before you buy in. It is objectively cool and I love unfolding it. It never doesn't feel futuristic.
