So Putin is allowed to escalate but no one else is?

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.

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.

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.

I mean, the very useful bot that the mods have made mantadory on each post ranks the Sun as medium credibility same as the Guardian, so surely its a completly legit source.

Given that photocopiers can do a scribes job (copy the text on this page onto a new page), more quickly and accurately to boot, I presume you are part of a pressure group to pay them pensions.

Should we also insist that archives dont use photocopiers and instead have scribes copy everything by hand?

I’m not even sure if that is a joke. If they’ve sold a lot to Russia and are paranoid about the south exploiting their relative weakness, removing road links would make sense.

Thats actually quite interesting, you could make the argument that that is an image of “a pure white completely flat object with zero content”, its just taken your description of what you want the image to be and given an image of an object that satisfies that.
