Makes me wonder how deep does the algorithm divide go. In these 1.5 years I was never served an explicitly pro-Israel content. On the other hand I was served pro-Palestinian and even some anti-Israel creators.

Sure this is just anecdotal, but there must be something behind it. The algorithmic bubble, or intentional manipulation, idk?

Is he using a random number generator?

Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.

Sometimes this kind of people sounds like they believe in the Bible and prophecies as impersonal laws of nature, and not in an intelligent creator of any sort.

I wish Java was declared deprecated back in 2017 when Kotlin was adopted for Android and supported by Spring. It was the only sensible way forward for JVM. Sure with containerization there’s some debate for the necessity of JVM at all but its GC and runtime optimizations are nice.

I am a programmer but I’m not sure why people think Java is suited for anything, especially a system so sensitive to bugs. It’s so hard to write high quality readable code in Java. Everything is way more clunky, and verbose than it needs to be.

Some major improvements were made with versions 17+ but still, it feels like walking through mud.

It’s a language from the 1990s for the 1990s.

Btw the performance is actually pretty good in Java, the old reputation for slowness is entirely undeserved today.

South Korea is a weird place. They do some things really, really well. But the things they do badly, they’re really bad at it, and even worse they refuse to admit having a problem.

Imagine the irony if Musk actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?

But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.

Just double check whatever tank goes out of that factory actually performs according to spec in the real world, not only in test conditions.

Ok, no great loss. If they really want to keep hiring, nothing stops them from opening an office where the candidates are. They are multinational companies after all.

This smells like some kind of bias. Find a measuring error in one situation and then project the maximum error onto everything.

Any statisticians here, is there a name for this?

I don’t think it can be described as surprising. It’s a consequence of the dominant narrative placing men as exclusively aggressors, rather than also victims of the patriarchy.

Ok then I’m surprised it’s so high on average. Only some very bad places drop under 5

I’m very worried that the US will not defend Taiwan in the case of invasion. It was widely considered that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan was a situation likely to lead to a nuclear war.
I was hoping to live long enough to see the extermination of humanity.

I don’t think they would be shocked because it’s a common sentiment in the west too “Our country needs a strong leader!”
Thinking that is one of the few cases where it would be justified for people to lose political rights.

How many times do we need to learn the same lesson about prohibition? Although it did help a lot to reduce domestic violence according to the article. Getting rid of forced marriage instead of alcohol would have been a better option but we should celebrate small victories I guess…

I don’t understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There’s basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.
