Why would you want an infotainment system in your car? I don’t get it. All I want when I’m driving is navigation and music/podcast, and I can just use my phone for both
- Comment on Sergey Brin: We need you working 60 hours a week so we can replace you as soon as possible 2 weeks ago:
Living together with others for eternity is one of my worst nightmares. One of the reasons for that is that many people are total dicks. Have you ever shared a house with someone who doesn’t know how to clean a toilet or that you can’t leave dishes in the sink and wait for them to clean themselves magically?
No thank you

- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 2 weeks ago:
Generally not a lot, less than Spotify I think. They do have a slightly different system though, I can’t remember the details. I think if you listen to a specific artist more than others, they will get more money from your subscription fee or something like that

I’m using Pop and I’ve definitely had fewer problems than using Windows, and while I’ve tried others in the past that have been pretty fiddly (looking at you Ubuntu), there hasn’t been a single thing that any normal user wouldn’t have been able to deal with so far

Why shouldn’t they have long term benefits for researchers?
Reminds me a bit of when CRISPR got big, people were worried to no end about potential dangers, designer babies, bioterrorism (“everybody can make a killer virus in their garage now”) etc. In reality, it has been a huge leap forward for molecular biology and has vastly helped research, cancer treatment, drug development and many other things. I think machine learning could have a similar impact. It’s already being used in development of new drugs, genomics, detection of tumours just to name a few

I mean yes, but it can be VERY useful in these narrow laboratory use cases

I feel like this kind of implies that things will get back to the way they were before, once all the bullshit is “done”. Not so sure about that
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 5 weeks ago:
What an annoying position to be in, needing software updates for your fucking car. Then what, you’ll have to replace it after three years because it won’t get any new security patches anymore?

I’ve only used it to write cover letters for me. I tried to also use it to write some code but it would just cycle through the same 5 wrong solutions it could think of, telling me “I’ve fixed the problem now”

Thing is, the next MAGA/QAnon nutter will just tell people that it’s the lib’s fault and they will eat it up and vote for the next unhinged, cleptocratic sociopath. Or maybe by then the US will have gone full Russia and just openly manipulate the elections
