Have you tried putting your phone in "grayscale" mode? Works wonders for turning your smartphone back into a "tool" instead of a "toy".

I understand the point you're trying to make, but this entire thread misses the forest for the trees. Rules & regulations don't exist to create equality or fairness , it's to foster competition. We don't watch co

Might it be overly generous to attribute these outcomes to recent actions by people in these instituions vs. the USD still being the world reserve currency?

1 week: no planning, just reaction 2 weeks: minimal planning effort, not a long enough period to agitate stakeholders when you say "next sprint" 4 weeks: it's MY request and I NEED IT NOW!

That sounds like an argument for banning WhatsApp in favor of transparency...

Something something 100 monkeys with a typewriter? I'm expecting some margin of error introduced into these models that produces a surreal fever dream era of AI generated content on the internet.

I'm worried less about the lettuce (which we have little control over) and more about what's sprayed on the lettuce (which we do have control over). It seems like man-made chemicals added to food have a significantly higher probab

I have no idea how these things work, but what struck me is the "restrictive" tone in the EU ("We couldn't find an adequate study proving or disproving, therefore we assume it's dangerous until proven otherwise&quot

Let's assume that GPT eliminates an entire field of experts, runs out of training data, and whoever is at the helm of that GPT program decides that it's lucrative enough to obtain more/better data. One alternative is subsidiz

Presumably this problem is solved with technology improvements or the need is recognized to hire experts capable of generating high quality training material. In either situation, there's going to be extreme discomfort.

This is a very xenophobic view on immigration, and arguably the status quo. Past performance does not equate to future results, but I think you can draw the conclusion that the immense diversity that exists in the US compared to "rest

Exactly. More ICE cars are coming standard with turbochargers which would enable more to take advantage of the extra octane, but it's an optimization problem with constraints: fuel efficiency, reliability, drive-ability, emissions to n

by jgust 4y ago
That is the theory behind "flex fuel" vehicles. In practice, the optimizations don't materialize in real world usage. This is likely because of safety factors built into the ECM preventing the engine from running enough timin

I remember being taught the concept of "critical mass" a long time ago in uni which is at the core of every social media problem.

The common denominator here seems to be caseload. Lower caseload, lower hours per week, lower burnout, more focus time, more deep thinking. Sound familiar to anyone in software?
