Reminds me of this wild story: https://www.si.com/betting/2023/09/15/fake-indian-cricket-le... Basically, a fake "Cricket league" was setup up in rural India, complete with online streaming, pl

I concur. We were in the market for a new car. I went to Audi to test drive their A4; and it was OK. The sales guy sat in the passenger seat, yakking away. Next we went to the Tesla showroom. The sales guy just entered some address and told

How is some random ex-Uber-engineer's self-written story "journalism" in any shape or form?

> I was fired for following HR’s own verbal instructions. This is why, even when there are verbal instructions, politely request that they give you something in writing; you know, for your reference, just in case you forget ;-)

Most of this is just speculation until the Kuwaiti pilot is identified. If it turns out he is a Shia muslim, then it'll open up a new dimension on this event. History buffs may remember that the presence of American troops in Saudi Ara

I got an offer out of the blue for a consulting gig in ML, offering USD 400/hr in China. Assuming this was legit (the offeror seemed legit), it looks like China is also throwing a lot of Benjamins around...

Except when one of the criteria for promos is "demonstrates complexity". Then you results do matter, but you don't have the "complexity" box checked.

FAANGs are notorious for promoting complexity, and the results are there for all to see. One thing engineers can do to fight this, and I think it's mentioned in the article, is to write extensive documentation. Bosses in these companie

I still have my Pixel3. I use it without a SIM for random stuff, and miss the small form factor. It is half the thickness of a Pixel 10, my current phone!

Local county races and dog catcher races do not matter. What matters is who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. That is the only race that counts.

It's addressed to Hegseth, who insists on calling it that. If they had called it DoD, then that would have been another finger in his eye.

For your example videos that you made with Cardboard: can you also put up the raw material that went into those videos? Just looking at the output doesn't tell me anything. :thanks:!

I misread the title as "The Missuses of the University" and thought this might be the next iteration on the "Real Housewives" franchise: "Real Housewives of the University". Sorry, didn't mean to distract

I understand. But isn't it a sign of "smarts" that one can generalize from analoguous tasks?

Some people are suggesting that this might actually be in the training set. Since I can't rule that out, I tried a different version of the question, with an elephant instead of a car: > It's a hot and dusty day in Arizona and

It got the car wash question perfectly: You are definitely going to have to drive it there—unless you want to put it in neutral and push! While 200 feet is a very short and easy walk, if you walk over there without your car, you won't
