• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA President term limits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also worth adding, though, that the convention of only running for at most two terms had existed pretty much since the establishment of the republic (until FDR broke it), when Washington and Jefferson each chose not to run for third terms

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This feels wrong. I love it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think BAC is supposed to be defined as a right-angle, so that AB²+AC²=CB²

  => AB+1²=0²

  => AB = √-1

  => AB = i

  Almost certainly a multiple of 2 minus one

  Clearly.

  And you can keep hand waving away the fact that lower precision because of less light is not the primary cause of racial bias in facial recognition systems - it’s the fact that the datasets used for training are racially biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic writing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s saying that it uses terminology that is well-understood, specific and explicit within the field, but depends on a common understanding of the language used. So people outside the field are unable to understand it, even though they would be able to understand the actual concepts.

  I think you misunderstand the idea - he wasn’t proposing hiring more police, but temporarily increasing the total man-hours being worked to make sure there is sufficient capacity to respond

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”

  Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?

  If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.

  The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable

  Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Word “libs” in first 5 words, opinion rejected

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you felt the need to define both terms, but since you bring it up, note that refugees are a subset of immigrants.

  But none of what you’ve said addresses the point I was making; the fact that Modi is deporting refugees (who are, by definition, a form of immigrant) doesn’t mean that nobody wants to migrate to India.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that modi’s government is trying to deport immigrants doesn’t mean that people don’t want to move there - in fact, the fact the gov is doing is the whole point of the article

  Why not just use type c headphones?

  The 3.5mm thing has always baffled me, it feels like complaining your pc doesn’t have a VGA port, except the thing you connect costs like a fiver

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping that the sheer cost of executing that sort of war will continue to be a prohibiting factor like it is today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Upvoted exclusively for that 10/10 pun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I broadly agree, but that’s not what this is, right?

  This is a demonstration of using AI to execute combat against an explicitly selected target.

  So it still needs the human to pull the trigger, just the trigger does some sick plane stunts rather than just firing a bullet in a straight line.

  What an absurd reason to defederate a server

  “no, I won’t provide a source for my claim, because my source is not good/non-existent”

  FTFY

  provide the reason you don’t like those studies

  They didn’t say they don’t “like” the studies though, in fact they actively said they were interested in seeing them. What’s the point of asking someone to explain why they don’t like something that they haven’t even seen yet. Sure they could go find some random related studies and then critique those but that seems pretty pointless.
