This is a pretty common claim, but in the US you can buy similarly 'pure' beef and it's still cheaper. I prefer the EU approach for general food production, requiring every stage of the process be clean enough that you don&#x

Thank you for the comment! I think the negative reaction people have comes from fear of punishment for human error, but fraud (meaning the real legal term, not colloquially) requires knowledge and intent. That legal standard means that the

Non-academics can definitely offer valid critiques of academia. You don't need to be in academia to understand that scientific progress depends on trust. If you don't trust the results people are publishing, you can't then bu

I've lived in Sweden, Germany, and the United States. Just being honest about my experience here, but the cheap stuff (like potatoes) are cheaper in the EU but the expensive stuff (like beef[0]) are more expensive. [0] https:/&#x

Fraud implies intent, either intent to deceive or intentionally negligent. If you're taking public funds (directly or otherwise) with the intent to either: A) Do little to no real work, and pass of the work of an AI as being your own w

Stealing more than a few thousand dollars is a felony, and felonies are handled in criminal court, not civil. EDIT - The threshold amount varies. Sometimes it's as low as a few hundred dollars. However, the point stands on its own, bec

If I steal hundreds of thousands of dollars (salary, plus research grants and other funds) and produce fake output, what do you think is appropriate? To me, it's no different than stealing a car or tricking an old lady into handing ove

False equivalence. This isn't about "using AI" it's about having an AI pretend to do your job. What people are pissed about is the fact their tax dollars fund fake research. It's just fraud, pure and simple. And fra

All 3 of these should be categorized as fraud, and punished criminally.

The price sensitivity thresholds of your median customer is not likely to be a factor in this range. What is a factor is 'getting a deal' and customer conviction. You want to give them an offer that makes them feel good about sign

For a single user I would start pricing at $5/m on an annual subscription or $9 for monthly. Getting customers in the door and retaining them through the early product evolution cycles is the major hurdle in the early stages. Beyond th

The article doesn't seem to address fully how much of the "Humans are to blame" part is Waymo cars driving in a manner that isn't normal. The cases they highlight, such as a multi-collision hit and run, are obvious bad h

Management perceives people to be more replaceable than they are. Years of working in, or being the architect of, the company's core product will make you a true expert in it. But, from the company perspective, your value is based on t

As a long-time consultant, the truth is that unless you aim for more hours, the drought periods are likely to kill you.

"Nobody is coming for anyone" is just wrong. If there's an edge, people will use it. Car manufacturers share data with insurance companies[1], which can impact drivers' insurance rates or lead to coverage denial. Do you

It only takes a company messing up exactly once, and the damage is catastrophic. Everyone gets their social security number leaked...identity thieves have a field day. Everyone gets their medical history leaked...insurance companies suddenl

This is the process that I see happening: 1. Money is printed, inflation occurs 2. Cost of living rises, wages follow (but not closely enough) 3. Buying power is decreased, but the tax brackets don't change much 4. The lower income gro

The US has painted itself into a corner. On one hand, culturally, we pushed young people into colleges and universities at ever-increasing and frankly unethical price points. Many people have spent "buy a house" money on education

I'm expecting restaurant owners to fire bad valets. Or in Microsoft's case, via regulatory, social, or software, prevent Crowdstrike from causing harm to their customers. I'm aware it's a sticky regulatory situation, but

This is the correct interpretation. I am surprised that people took it in different directions.

by Proziam 2y ago
You could also prosecute the establishment that keeps a valet with an abominable record on staff. Microsoft took no steps to force-eject them from their ecosystem, despite their long history of issues.

One step further, many rust libs use `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` to explicitly disallow any unsafe. The rust community really likes that sort of thing, and for good reason.

by Proziam 2y ago
It's not just the type system either. It also helps that rust has a great ecosystem of tools that catch all kinds of errors at build time. The compiler and clippy together genuinely do prevent a lot of mistakes. This is a big part

The same reason sex is pleasurable. We would not be here if it were not this way. Put in different terms, there are many experiences which have an evolutionary origin. Disgust reactions to certain sights/smells are a near-universal exp

This stance strikes me as odd. Every parent was once a non-parent, and therefore can compare their own experience before and after. I'm sure parents are a little (intentionally) delusional at times, nobody wants to seem like a 'ba
