I don't have an answer for this, really, and I can see it. Still, I think if workers prefer a certain way of working, they aren't cattle, or just a number, and they should be allowed to make this decision for themselves. I'm

This is the best answer ITT. Union-busting tech people is easy though since they appeals to them as uniquely intelligent people who gain nothing from the support of others works most of the time.

It is terrible advice and especially if you are an at-will employee. 2 weeks is fine, but as others have mentioned, most of the time you get put into a hermetically sealed jar once you give notice.

What state is this? This would only apply here if you already had a contract for a fixed term. Most employment here is at will and so this won't work. Everyone else: please talk to a lawyer in your state familiar with employment law be

There are a lot of really stupid things that you can't even waiver at MEMS, so people just lie and they change these rules enough that it's really confusing. I was a mega POG and we sat at desks. There was absolutely no reason I c

That's funny! I wanted an Apple ][ but my dad got me the 800xl. Looking back, it makes sense. The Atari was about $100 and the ][ was like $1000 and I was a little kid. I wouldn't buy my kids a $1000 computer now and that's 2

This was my first computer. Not the first one in my house, but the first one that was mine.

Definitely shouldn't do that blind. That's good advice. The kind someone over 30 would give. (=

This comment basically implies I don't get it, but I will if I watch a Youtube video. I get it. ChatGPT isn't that. That's the point. You can have concerns about AGI. That's fine. But they have nothing to do with LLMs un

I strongly disagree. Sometimes just experiencing the passage of time is a requisite and that has nothing to do with you not being appreciated for your talent.

I've been telling people the #1 thing I like about ChatGPT is that it breaks my writer's block both in prose and code.

It was just a freakin' expression. I didn't think it would trigger 5000000000 reply guys.

"No one thinks this" YOU don't think this, but there are clearly people out there who don't want to hear their wild speculation isn't real. It's human nature.

Yeah all the Terminator energy around these AI things is so off-putting. They aren't like that. They're big matrices and they are very cool tools!

Smolin isn't viewed as a crackpot, but anyone who brings up foundational issues, or who tries to moderate the conclusions drawn from research gets labeled a certain way, especially if the criticism is directed "outside." Sabi

Don't you think that the reporting of things in theoretical physics tends to be clickbait for pseudo-intellectuals that tends to dramatically oversell the findings? It's not the fault of the researchers most of the time, because a

Good for her. Before her there were people like Lee Smolin. They eventually get cancelled by the physics community, like short sellers in investment, no one wants to hear the sad trumpet but the "market" doesn't function with

I am working on a project that needs to put latex in a browser. We are currently trying out different libraries, but so far Katex does seem the fastest.

yes, poor headline writing is my fault. and it's not addressed in the article, so I think it's you that didn't read it. It's not even remotely addressed in the article and in fact, the what I posted is an answer to this

It is, but even if your goal is technically unattainable, I think it's sorta the journey that matters to mix metaphors. Getting the number as low as possible matters and remembering the how scary something we take for granted as an out

As many as you want depending on how many bits. Floats are made to approximate real numbers. There is an uncountably infinite number of real numbers on any open interval of real numbers. Since (0,1)\in[0,1] there you go. Just keep adding bi
