I think is one of the main reasons for why there is such a lot of hostile discussion online, people read something which they infer as a hint of something they dont like and from there extrapolate into the worst person they imagine who could be saying that and proceed to righteously strike them down (with words).
Unless they are lowering standards there will be practially no US beef imported to the UK. Almost all US beef cows are pumped up with growth hormones and thats not legal to sell for human consumption in the UK.
That's a an admirable stance for you to take. It's not admirable to insist that everyone else is held to what you personally are willing to hold yourself to.
Wanting to live in a better society doesnt free you of the requirements of living in the current one. Insisting all writing must be freely given away is equivalent to saying only the independently wealthy get a voice.
When I did my undergrad the core modules had upwards of 400 people in them, never had a single multiple choice test in my entire degree. Thats a choice not a neccessity.
He could see AI being used more immediately to address certain “low-hanging fruit,” such as checking for application completeness. “Something as trivial as that could expedite the return of feedback to the submitters based on things that need to be addressed to make the application complete,” he says. More sophisticated uses would need to be developed, tested, and proved out.
Well no, that was what I meant, I would like to see whether rising temperatures lead to increased energy demands in other climates. Or if it would actually lead to reduced demands due to milder winters and less AC usage.
Its definitely a trend I see a lot in renewable energy circles, study how things are in southern California or Texas and then draw conclusions and policy prescriptions from that without considering other climates.
The analysis makes sense, more energy for cooling in sumer - less energy for heating in winter = more energy usage overall in Texas. It would be interesting to see it repeated in colder locations like Northern Europe or Canada to see what the result is.
I was engaging with what you wrote, namely disagreeing with it as I dont think failing to supporting a minority position (and one for which a large chunk of that minority are going to be nailed on Plaid supporters) is costing the lib dems significant amounts of support, even if a single poll shows an anomolously large increase in support in one narrow age bracket. I dont think your article made a convincing case for that.
You did ask for feedback btw, I assumed you weren't just wanting people to agree with you when you said that.
I'll admit I didn't follow the link in your article to the other article about a private poll from an independence campaign that only released partial results. As HumanPengiun said, private polls from interested parties should be treated with suspicion, especially when you can only see select results and when they dramatically depart from previous polls and align with that the commissioning group want.
I'll try images since you seemed to ignore my link
The very highest is 35% and has generally been in the 25-30% range.
As for your contention that independence has 70% support amongst the young...
That's 41% against 20% for independence in the 18-24 demographic.
Your argument that there's a massive groundswell of separatist sentiment in Wales that the LD are dooming themselves by not catering to just doesn't stand up.
Its a shit article with Tech crunch changing the words to get people in a flap about AI (for or against), the actual quote is
"I'd say maybe 20 percent, 30 percent of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software"
"Written by software" reasonably included machine refactored code, automatically generated boilerplate and things generated by AI assistants. Through that lens 20% doesnt seem crazy.
Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.
You do understand that Ukraine regularly hits Moscow and has even hit the Kremlin?
With drones. A balistic missile strike is different from a nuclear missile strike only in the warhead in the missile. Firing missiles that could potentially be nukes (from the Russian perspective) from a nucelar power (the USA) at their capital is one of the few things that might actually trigger a nuclear war. Not the idiotic Russia bluster about Ukraine being given access to slightly better weapons, but a genuine possibility.
I agree, there are two consistent points of view with regards to conciousness IMO: either it is an emergent property of systems regardless of what they are made of, so there is no reasons machines couldnt be concious even if none now are; or that conciousness is a supernatural quantity that isnt a property of mater and energy that can be studied by science.
I dissagree with the later but it is far more consistent than people who claim to be materialist but insist there is something magicial about the matter in brains that can not be replicated by other forms of matter.
Not really, the politicians with a Trumpian style (Johnson and Truss) came after brexit and got there because of the polarisation caused by brexit (and had the example of Trump himself). There was definitely a lot of lying and false claims that were used by the leave campaign in order to get brexit and it shared some similarities with Trump, but it wasnt politics in the the style of being completely divorced from reality and overwhelming incompetance that defines Trump.
