rootw0rm··on Sinead O’Connor Condemned Church Abuse Early. America Didn’t Listen
personally i think yes. any opportunity to call out people publicly for disgusting behaviour presents a chance for people to learn. i think it's okay for people to be reminded that ugly ideas like fascism exist and are still current.

specifically on 'private platform' detail...it's a rather slippery slope to force people to host or not host particular ideas on their own property. it's easy to pick a couple topics that most people would agree are 'bad' and shouldn't be discussed, but where does it end?

i'm more in favor of publicly calling Nazis assholes wherever they show up.

I was curious myself, this link is a bit of an introduction to the mess:

"GDI is hardware accelerated on Windows XP, and accelerated on Windows 7 when the Desktop Window Manager is running and a WDDM 1.1 driver is in use. Direct2D is hardware accelerated on almost any WDDM driver and whether or not DWM is in use. On Vista, GDI will always render on the CPU."

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that some good shows are already around LLM levels of focus/creativity. I love Bleach, but there are several plot lines where there's a great story that ends abruptly, never to be revived again. The story just happily meanders along like an LLM trying it's best to give you exactly what you want =)
rootw0rm··on Civic honesty around the globe (2019)

rootw0rm··on Ask HN: What boosted your confidence as a new programmer?
that's actually, um...common? i just had to repair an electric jackhammer last week. i worked in a machine shop for a large well drilling company not long ago, and not only did we create/repair tools for the company, but obviously had to keep our mills and lathes and cranes, etc. in good working condition.

I would like to see that study too. I would consider the results of both studies valuable for different reasons.

"They don't begin to compare in effect."

The study agrees with you =)

I'm not really arguing for or against drawing any particular conclusions from this paper. I just think it's an interesting study that gives further insight into a subject that could probably benefit from many more studies like it.
