Because there’s all these fertilized eggs that don’t become people. If you believe life begins at conception, then IVF kills a lot.
It’s all unscientific nonsense, and requires you to ignore how many fertilized eggs don’t become a viable fetus, but the anti-abortion stance has never been about science. It’s about control.
That’s not how it works.
Parties are at the national level, and form alliances/blocks at the international level in order to get things done. These blocks shift and there is no guarantee that one party will continue to vote with a particular block.
Pick a country. Generally, the political parties in that country will stand for local elections, national elections, and EU elections. At that point you can ask what their politics are. But EU wide parties aren’t a thing.
It’s worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.
All of the serious journals are free to publish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.
We’re still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that’s every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.
I tried using some but they’re all equally shit.
That would be fine, if people weren’t using LLMs to write code, or to do school work,
But they are. So it’s important to write these articles that say “if you keep using a chainsaw to drive nails, here are the limitations you need to be aware of.”
There’s a reason terf stands for trans exclusionary.
They don’t really believe in some bullshit biological essentialism where trans men and cis women are categorised together. They just want all trans people gone. Excluded from society.
Biological essentialism is just an excuse to be dicks to trans people.
Work socks as well.
They’re socks that go with construction boots. Basically the same as hiking socks but cheaper.
It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.
If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.
It’s a consequence of parliamentary sovereignty.
Parliament can always dissolve itself and call an election, and it’s an important mechanism for getting rid of the government.
The problem is that the prime minister also has a majority in parliament, and that means he can make parliament dissolve itself when he likes.
This was actually a problem for Johnson. Initially, he didn’t have enough of a majority and it wasn’t clear he could call an election without Corbyn’s support.
Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can’t sue them for shit.

Both. It’s like the saying “Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.” (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it’ll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.
The fish advice was most useful.
The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

It wasn’t so much stolen as taken back.
The title of the actual paper includes “Occupational Cognitive Demand” which is a lot more on point.
Doesn’t need to be fun, doesn’t need to be interesting, just needs to be hard.
Accountancy has a fairly high cognitive demand, but calling it stimulating is a stretch.
They actually hired an Australian to copy it for them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Levido
It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.
It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.
Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
How fucked up would it be if your actual town square was owned by a private company?
You have just invented malls. Hugely damaging to society, but they come with convenient parking and air con.
I quite like the tag line X, the abandoned shopping mall of the internet.
I think it describes it well.

It’s always one of the first things to get cut when companies try to save money.
