I meant to write "be aware of arguments against". I think the asker will find enough arguments for utilitarianism in those blogs ;)

I would change your "but" to "and"? But maybe my comment wasn't very clear. The dangers of phone typing.

I meant that one should acquaint oneself with the criticisms of utilitarianism, if one wants to understand what it is people react to in rationalism and related communities.

Probably referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

or, if you don't buy into the "they're all the same" arguments, at least beware of the arguments against utilitarianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism

Does it store thumbs separately from the photos? I see external usb was mentioned, can it support several (possibly disconnected) drives?

Duolingo doesn't produce speakers, it produces gamers.

Me too, played it on Casio. My first attempt at making a game was a half-arsed, unfinished clone in Delphi with a very ugly ui :)

> maximize screen space

But it's not maximizing it, that's the whole problem. It keeps coming back and blocking the line I'm reading. If they actually wanted to maximize screen space, it is trivial to just leave the top bar at the top of the page and not make it reappear when I scroll slightly back, no js/css needed.

Oh god yes I absolutely hate those. Who on earth thought that was a good idea.

There is a special circle in hell where designers of such sites have to actually use the sites they design.

Same, except moved to Qobuz. They have both streaming and you can buy downloads.

Net negative. I do find it genuinely useful for code review, and "better search engine" or snippets, and sometimes for rubber ducking, but for agent mode and actual longer coding tasks I always end up rewriting the code it makes. Whatever it produces always looks like one of those students who constantly slightly misunderstands and only cares about minor test objectives, never seeing the big picture. And I waste so much time on the hope that this time it will make me more productive if only I can nudge it in the right direction, maybe I'm not holding it right, using the right tools/processes/skills etc. It feels like javascript frameworks all over again.

https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ is a rails-inspired framework for Haskell that tries to get the best of both worlds. Highly recommend trying it if you have a weekend

Actually it would matter. Less CO2 would be released. It just wouldn't stop all the CO2 being released - but we don't need nor want to stop it all for it to matter.

90% of frogs dead in the last 30 years. Because of humans sending frogs and spores across the world (where some are immune and some not).
