Have you studied math? No mathematician would call algebraic topology discrete math, nor for that matter almost anything else on that list.

>Is it wrong to use my gpu playing video games all day, or is the moral panic only applying to certain uses of computers?

Is it wrong for you to leave a warehouse full of computers idling to play a computer game? Yes. This is one of the more outrageous false equivalences I've seen.

It stops being a moral panic when crypto consumes more electricity than the entire nation of Argentina.

Jesus, glad to hear. Will certainly never work at Atlassian.

If you aren't at least living in a comfortable 1 bedroom apartment in a desirable location while contributing 30-40k in savings every year off 150k, you are seriously mismanaging your finances. I guess 150k is scraping by if you blow 50k on gacha games a year or something? I can't envision another scenario where you aren't incredibly comfortable off that much

>On climate BA might win on paper, but personally I like to have actual seasons.

Or, you know, build actual public transit

Hacker news jumps at any opportunity to write off ML

I think the dumb part that no one's talking about is it's a competitive game. It'd be like saying "the Eagles beat football to take the superbowl."

You'd be surprised, the Melee scene is fairly old on average. I compete regularly and I'd be shocked if even 5% of the scene is younger than Melee.

What? AlphaGo doesn't use ANY human data. And computers are performing better than humans on image recognition tasks.

And programmers exist at the mercy of farmers. What's your point?
