Look at the countries listed in the article it's not just China and I don't agree with your assessment that they are optimistic because they've never seen a recession or high unemployment. Many of those countries have high un

I often hear about this attitude of putting the customer first. Having excellent customer service. The one thing people forget though, customers pay. When you're not getting paid according to the terms, they're not a customer anym

Maybe you can explain how the public is holding the bag in this instance. Those who take an initial investment risk seems like it's appropriate that they would reap greater rewards. A SpaceX IPO seems like it would benefit anyone who c

One of the most infuriating things about AI for me is it's behavioral mirroring patterns. I rather enjoy the conversational interface but after about two prompts it starts mirroring my behavior, my word pattern and choice, etc... I hat

This is very sad news. I realize there is a lot of criticism to be said around the Artemis program. Those who criticize it aren't wrong. Like a lot of NASA projects following the Saturn V It turned into an overly politicized thing. Ins

It seems like you prompted it to do this. Although maybe not in a direct way. You're a web developer, you just finished a web project for a client, you told Claude to do something for itself and suggested a journal. So what it did was

It depends on what it is. A lot of these places don't own any of the hardware they just lease it. When the lease is up is when they cycle it out. Then it goes to resellers and often ends up on eBay or bulk sold to lower tier data cente

I did mention it does depend on location, which you just ignored. In your paranoid neighborhood maybe not viable but that's not most of the USA. I mentioned this from practical experience, not of me doing it but of hiring people this w

Manual labor work. I think in the US this is achievable although maybe not exactly easy. Mowing lawns, gardening, shoveling snow, cleaning, odd jobs, etc... It does depend on your location but this is still a fairly common thing in some pla

Not sure if this is trolling or if this is serious. It's certainly not written like any kind of reasonable academic study or paper on the subject. I got to this and just had to laugh about the lack of data. "It’s common to see men

So that whole not using facial recognition and deleting the data after use wasn't real. How shocking. You wonder why the NRA has such a strong lobby against gun registration. It's for the same reasons. Political abuse of exercisin

I'm not sure where you're located but is it really racial profiling or just confirming someone understood what they ordered? I haven't experienced this in the US but it is common to get these kind of questions when I'm t

Why would someone who is unable to read a sentence be able to graduate from college? It seems like these professors would just push people through to graduation or they would make their statement that it leads to a anxious and lonely genera

Is this a joke or is this serious. I can't really tell. Assuming that it's serious I don't believe this person actually understands the pile of slop that AI turns out in most cases. Getting AI to do anything, when you're

I can understand what you're saying but the entire point of LLMs is to have a conversational approach. So by removing a functional part of language you are no longer really having a conversational approach. You have identified the prob

Maybe but would need to know more. Motorcycles have been mass produced for 130 years nearly. The term classic can range from anything 20 years old to 35 years old and older. Kind of depends on who you're talking to for the definition o

I don't mind Ai making mistakes because I don't deal with it in life critical things. I also think it's a tool like any other tool and doesn't deserve blind trust. Blind trust with anything is begging for problems. Even

It really seems like you just don't want to be open source. That's your choice.

You mean he can try to. How did that work out when he tried to end the daca executive order by Obama? Not well that executive order became defacto law in some aspects. Your government class was teaching what executive orders should be but n

I'm not sure, at the end of the day, it would have made that much difference. Those who are security and separation aware still are and plan9 would have been a much easier tool for those people. Those people who are not, still would no

I had this exact same problem. They say send a letter from your ISP, they don't understand the response of "I am the ISP". Their front line support doesn't understand how it works and they're powerless to help, thei

Clearly you don't remember why your other post was flagged. So now you're trying to twist it to fits your narrative. I have read it and I understand the scientific method. Clearly you do not understand history. How often people ha

Making the assertion that damage can modify a belief system is one thing. That was well known long before this. Claiming that that damage makes people maga is quite a different thing. Again there is 100 plus years of reputable scientists pu

You can read the abstract and see that they absolutely went looking for a pattern. They found some mild correlation and then they went looking for a bigger pattern. They didn't look for the opposite they didn't look for the except

Of course EA wants this. They are one of the most consumer hostile software companies there is. This includes Oracle in that mix. I'm not generally in favor of the benevolent dictator philosophy but Steam has done a pretty good job. Th

The most shocking thing to me is not that someone would do this but the Atlantic would post such an obvious bash against freedom of speech. Speech you agree with, the speech that the majority agrees with, doesn't need to be defended or

Reposting something that was flagged generally not a good idea. Taking a look at this research it is quite a lot like a lot of research over the past hundred years that is very similar. Attempting to find medical problems for an ideology or

The fuel efficiency claims are nonsense. Golf balls would like to have a word with these engineers. They do it because it looks cool and futuristic. Just like replacing all of the physical switches with non-tactile touch-based things. Overa

So it seems to be a little bit less that James Cameron says Netflix shouldn't be eligible for Oscars and more that he's saying the Oscars should be eligible only to wide scale theater releases.
