What I’ve come to accept is that white collar crime “feels” distant to an average person. Even if some bank exec cooks up a way to steal a few dollars an account to the tune of millions or even if I’m phished $10k out out of my investment a

A mutation happens in one individual in one generation. Evolution happens when that mutation propagates through the population by reproduction. That itself takes many generations. Not to mention the fact that the mutation needs to be both a

Not a pilot either. And that’s what I learnt playing hours of simulator games. Isn’t gaining airspeed the primary goal?

The latest iOS instantly transcribes voicemail. I find it handy to pick up the calll midway through. Just to be clear, I’ve used it exactly once so far. We’ll see how that goes.

That’s such an oversimplification. Apart from the lease, there’s insurance, staffing and maintenance at the very least. Security, infrastructure, equipment, utilities, and then the insurance and maintenance cost of that. The list is pretty

Standing was more blatantly ignored in the web designer case. Nothing had actually happened. It was a hypothetical case.

We need a term for it - the fear of adopting something because it might be cancelled based on past history leading to the cancellation further confirming that these companies would cancel new products.

It’s a great excuse and the price is usually right to rebuild to your taste. Almost all new construction happens in areas that are newly developed. It’s cheaper to rebuild these houses than to tear down one that’s sold for a price that incl

It was the best phone for everyday use - apart from the missing 2x zoom camera (I didn’t care for the wide angle) and the battery life.

To me - very simply put - merit doesn’t make much sense when one set of people didn’t get any of the opportunities the other set did. It’s like comparing height with one person standing atop a stool. The nuance here is to find the lost pote

It’s the personalisation element combined with slightly better results that makes it so much better. Plus, I don’t have to block any ads or tracking. Google without an adblocker has become harder and harder to navigate. On the other end, I’

Defining rules based on intent works when there’s less corruption. Otherwise the rule will be vague enough to extract a bribe or a blackmail by the enforcing authority. Once corruption is under control you can have things like prosecutorial

You joke but they already did that in San Jose. Years of the city fighting to get the project reviewed and approved and Google simply stopped just short of ground breaking and is now “reevaluating” it. https://www.cnbc.com/2

Apple Pay had a similar uphill battle. So were OS releases - carriers would blame it on “network compatibility testing”. Apple fought them at every turn. If carriers had their way, iPhones would be irrelevant after 2 years because Apple ca

Yup, before all this nonsense I was voluntarily paying for Reddit premium to support Reddit. I had no interest in any of their premium features - Apollo already had no ads and that’s all I cared.

Not even guaranteed compensation - that column is prevailing wages - avg market salary. Not what they’re paid. That’s the minimum they need to paid.

Sibling comment already addresses it. But to add, I’d happily pay and I want to pay $5 or more to Reddit. But not everyone is like that. Reddit cornered third party apps into a single subscription model with very little time to adapt. I thi

It also breaks down when you have a full screen window and a normal window. It's so jarring.

The article actually talks about all of this and explains the why. Without repeating everything, the supreme court already makes this exception for cellphones domestically -as in police can search, let's say, a car but need warrant for

They don’t even hide this fact. That’s pretty much the unstated goal behind funds like SoftBank funding startups at well above what the startups even ask for.

I agree - but you should also add some dynamic tags - <company>, <industry> and <country> - for example are very useful.

They can - if we split it into parsing, execution and response. If LLMs only do parsing and response and execution is limited to actions that are prepogrammed, i think we’ll have a much better assistant. Like, it could be interactive and na

I mentioned an example in another comment - basic manipulation of timers don’t work well - like, adding time to an existing timer. When I’m working in the kitchen this is really useful. There are also major performance issues - “working on
