If you think about the history of abuse wrought upon the public by tech companies in regards to personal information, then the reaction really isn’t that surprising. Are you really surprised that people are suspicious? Really?

Yeah I totally get it. In this situation you could see employees burning out because of the lack of management or leadership and the chaos of the company. Like everyone cared at first and tried real hard but eventually almost formed a learn

Something is really broken when a broken company produces broken products and is doing great financially. I would not call this success. I would not want to emulate this.

You forgot the part where the leader gets more and more frustrated, it’s like a game of hot potato, if you’re the last one holding the potato when Leader finally cracks, all of it lands on you! I’ve been in this situation in a small company

While our time working at home has definitely gone down, our time at work hasn’t though. The point is our employers just expect more, and the benefits of whatever new efficiency is gained, if any, are not passed onto those at the bottom or

That would be very unlikely in Japan, maybe it would happen a handful of times in your career and you could indeed put on safer boots. Anyway I’m not against paramedics wearing boots in my apartment, in an emergency very few people would ca

I think the problem is that it’s not black and white, it’s case by case. Some things are just not worth your effort/energy/opportunity cost. Like the difference you’re making by boycotting is so minuscule compared to the enormous

How does this work with time zones?

Oh wow, that’s aweful. Where I used to live this would happen with driving tests. Driving schools would book out all the tests and then re-assign them to their students. So at some point it got so bad that when you’re buying a driving lesso

I don’t disagree with you, actually I kind of feel the same about smartphone adoption. It’s basically assumed now that you have a smartphone. You can’t enter some places without a ticket on your smartphone, or can’t order at some restaurant

I think the facts are the facts. The facts I’m referring to is that this wiki was written to on an enormous scale by agents. Now if this was unintended by any human then it’s certainly more interesting and scary, but if OpenAi did this int

I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.

There’s a hack though, just put on your hazards and you can park wherever you like! I’m kidding of course but I see many people do this and it’s super frustrating. Also fyi, you can buy a kei car without a parking certificate

The headline is a bit misleading because it was already 30km/h on many narrow streets. Something about speed limits in Japan, almost no one follows them. I’ve seen police cars go past speeding cameras without their lights on while exce

Back in 2023 I sent myself an email with some predictions about the future and my thoughts on LLMs at the time, good and bad. I can’t remember when it’s supposed to arrive though…

First of all, starlink has been jammed in conflict zones. Secondly, the number of satellites doesn’t really matter, the jamming happens at the end user level not at the satellite. Finally, where are you getting that 20k number from? It’s no

I keep seeing comments like this, and having messed around and generated a few (non-public) websites myself they all looked completely different? Mind you I don’t spend a lot of time on ai generated websites or the kinds of places you might

I think there’s still value in hand made furniture with little to no power tool involvement. There’s certainly value in creating furniture yourself in this way. It doesn’t give answer the question about the people who loved that job , the

Or ya know, make a gun using a cnc machine, or are they gonna ban those too? It’s so ridiculously easy to assemble a 3d printer from individually sourced parts, and find some open source firmware to run it. How is this going to stop anyone

There are some reasons like the added bom cost to the car. I guess it’s a nice option to have in the market but if what you’re going for is minimal carbon emissions impact it would be best to put those solar panels on house roof I think.

I disagree, clearly purchasing choices only hurt you and doesn’t help the situation. Instead we should embrace hacker culture and take by force that which won’t be given to us. By force I mean the gentle kind of force of forcibly owning the

I don’t think that will help with the TV installing malware on your pc. Though to your point, Claude or codex could probably help with that too.
