What do you mean by that?

Thanks for the story recommendation!

What window manager do you use?

"The software, which was created by Clearview Al, was criticized for its heavy reliance on billions of social media photos to identify criminal suspects."

So how exactly did they get access to all photos? It must have been trained on public networks like instagram, not facebook, right?!? If it was FB that would be interesting.

What do you call it when you mistake "I know OF x" for "I understand X". I used to do it all the time; I think that because I have heard of something, I somehow know how it works or how to use it. For me, it's kind of like going "Oh, I've seen that meme before!" and somehow going meme++ in your head, so of course I am 'more familiar with it', but I am doing that for advanced topics I have no demonstrated practice in. I am much better now at realizing my incompetence, but I wish it could be studied in more detail, instead of people just looking at someone who is demonstrating confident incompetence and going "Dunning-Kruger?" "Dunning-Kruger!".

I think OpenBSD uses it on purpose in their slides so people won't take them seriously. Just a theory.

How does Hotwire compare to Phoenix LiveView?

The great firewall was originally built by Cisco, but I don't think anybody remembers that.

Can we talk about the AI? Why is the AI so bad? From driving, to police not being able to chase you in cars, to spawning randomly.

Does the game use Lua or a scripting language for the AI? If not, I think that would easily explain the problems, as it seems like so much behavior of the NPCs was never iterated on.

I had never heard of µZero before this, just AlphaGo.

I think it is crazy that a brazillian bank owns Cognitect, the creator of Clojure, and Plataformatec, the creator of Elixir. I had never heard of them or new about them being acquired by the same company until a few weeks ago. It must be a really interesting bank to work at :)!
