Immediately critising someone/a group for doing the right thing but not doing enough/quickly enough is probably one of the main reasons its so hard to get traction for progressive politics. It’s incredibly tiresome.

IMO sortition with a minority of appointed cross-bench experts is the ideal solution. The cross benchers are generally excelent and worth keeping.

The legislation to get rid of them is already in progress they should be gone after this parliament ends.

maybe missing out on a few games but that is probably a tie with Linux

As some one who runs both: no, not even close. Mac has more direct ports than Linux true, but proton vastly outweighs that. I have dozens of games that show up on steam on my mac as unplayable where as I dont have any that wont run under proton.

Five years ago you’d probably have been right, but Linux is far superior to OSX for gaming now.

(E: assuming you’re talking about an apple silicon macbook, IDK the status of proton on x86 macs maybe it works there?)

The point you are missing is that yes, asking an LLM about these things is not at the level of advice from someone who knows their stuff. But if you dont know what you are doing and dont know enough to even know what the right things to search for are then even partialy useful advice about the thing you are trying to do is a massive help.

No they cant change it, those are arrived at by a completly objective scientific method and so there is no posibility of error or systematic bias.

That must be why Trump won huh? Because of all the dissent and “demanding better from him” that he got from his supporters.

Use milliseconds instead: a million milliseconds is 17 minutes, a billion milliseconds is 12 days, a trillion is 31 years.

Its not true, but the only time a Republican presedential canditate has got a majority of the votes in the 21st century is GWB in 2004. In the 20th century the winner in every election was the one who got the most votes, D or R.

They propably would if a common topic of discussion was “this is how leggings have got worse today”

Is this particularly worse than when Medium was filled with artisinally hand crafted slop before AI was a thing?

It really isn’t, you just go the way the recent EU laws have gone and write them such that only large services (with over x million users or similar) are under obligation to comply and implement age gates and the like.

Measuring storage capacity by peak discharge rate is meaningless.

AI has been the name of the field for 70 years at this point, it isn’t something Sam Altman came up with as a marketing wheeze.

As someone who has lived in China, no that’s not the case. Of course Chinese people can and do make high quality things, but there is a huge amount of incredibly poor quality stuff at all levels. As an example the floor of the flat I lived in fell through into the (thankfully empty) flat below two years after I left it, the building was less than 15 years old.

Partially its because of the real lack of regulatory oversight in China and partially because of a cultural sense of “ends justify the means” when it comes to business ethics.

People are being urged not to buy the feline equivalent of XL bully dogs, which have been created by breeders in the US.

It is, it confused me too. It is refering to an optical only on/off switch which can also be used as an xor gate. Many levels down from a network switch.
