If thousands of protestors can't stop a coal mine, but a few letters from unknown "concerned residents" can stop a wind park, I don't think Nimbyism is the problem. (reading about the coal mine in Lützerath, Germany)
I think they mostly act as middlemen between the students and the school director. Students can complain to their class representative and then the director only has to ignore the class representatives.
It's funny how companies have so much money, they can get a team of artists to put in a huge amount of effort into something that was a dumb idea to begin with. Going forward, we'll only be seeing more of this.
Reading about the data centers companies are building for "AI" and the resources they will consume. Turns out, the fear of the paperclip optimizer is not unfounded, but the intelligences causing it aren't artificial.
Exactly. Even if each cube was separate six polygons I'd expect it to be well in the polygon budget of the switch. It being textures also explains it getting worse when the camera gets close.
Don't you hate it when IT accidentally revokes your team's access to the repository without a warning again, while PO is breathing down your neck about the "deadline"?

The automatic assumption is that they are stupid or evil or both. The retrospective assumption is that they either know something I don't, or are stupid.
I think it's like what I heard a streamer say about the US democrats: If you can't trust them to oppose a genocide, how can you trust them to defend democracy? This was about politicians so it might not apply to members of a movement.
A CEO is someone who ties your hands behind your back, demands that you build a chair for him, and then taunts you for every minute that you haven't done so.
Is analytic continuation just the complex version of something like defining that sinc(0) = 1, because that's what it approaches from both sides? But why would it be unique in the plane, can't I just add a window function outside of the known values to get infinitely more matching functions?
At some point we have to recognize that it is possible to be very good in one field and very not good in another. It's probably the default. Unfortunately, we can't support them monetarily for just one of them.
I wonder. Will the Discord leak demonstrate to legislators that age verification does more harm than good, or will we have to assume that legislators *want* your data to be public?
