Total nonsense. Using valid words in one language doesn’t mean that they directly translate. Only the author knows the intended meaning—no one else would, without some sort of table that maps the nonsense expressions to the proper loanwords

I wonder if indicating likeness would be legally safe, i.e., “Song name - Artist [Drake-like/Drake-style]”

This seems like something there should be some AI safety ground rules for. The number one rule for firearm safety is: always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Even if you know the gun is unloaded, you always obey this rule. Deliberately

When layoffs like this happen, I cringe for these companies and the poor souls who keep joining them. What HR really needs to do is a full retracement. Who hired "X" employee, and why? Follow this up the chain. Follow it as far up

We have free will, and the atrocities you mention are acts of men. Why would you blame God for them?

What is the actual mechanism of action here? I assume it was an elephant coincidentally born without tusks, which then survived being poached thanks to the adaptation that was then passed on to subsequent offspring. An impeccably timed adva

As have plagues and other pandemics. I'm curious to see if there will be any more interesting volcanic activity!

An always-on camera would be my favorite cyborg eye use case. Imagine being able to go back and relive memories from your perspective. ML could be used to automatically caption and bookmark significant events for searchability.

I used to try to fight back against these guys. Slowly but surely, they purge Wikipedia articles of anything that portrays the US government in a negative light. The last straw for me was when they deleted this Wikipedia article. Luckily it

I bet someone on Hacker News can set up a website that mirrors AirBnB reviews as they are posted. This would prevent revisionism. They can slap vacation ads on it and now they have a stable source of income!

Looks cool! Might try it out one day if I ever become unhappy with Notion.

How is this different from Super? ( https://super.so ) Super is a tool to turn Notion pages into websites. Your tool seems extremely similar, but more expensive, so where's the value proposition?

You’re getting a lot of advice about ADHD and the medications prescribed for it. My advice is to tread cautiously and know the risks, because most doctors won’t tell you (or they’ll just gloss over them). Amphetamines are addictive and, use

Nice attempt at guilting me, Satan, but my mom is way, way worse than you. If I were you, I’d be deeply concerned about only having 15 years left to yourself. Enjoy hell while it’s still warm and toasty down there.

Concluding that knowledge influences behavior isn't science. It's common sense.

Knowledge influences behavior? No way, I don't believe it. Say I want to learn how to do a backflip. I do a quick search, find an instructional video, and nope the fuck out because of how dangerous and difficult it seems to perform. A

Yeah, hubby's strats are too lucrative for that. It's a non-starter. We need to establish age limits and get all the old greedies out of politics.

Yeah, I'm of the firm opinion that the US is a second world plutocracy that masquerades as a first world democracy by using its military might. The concept of being the best country in the world (American exceptionalism [0]) is not roo

Consumerlab.com is a paid but excellent resource for obtaining information about various foods and supplements that we can find on the shelves. Just last night I was eating some of my favorite organic roasted seaweed from Costco and spit it

Taking this opportunity to raise awareness about metabolic syndrome [0], a condition that is exacerbated by excessive consumption of carbohydrates. Per the CDC, it is estimated that over 30% of the US population has metabolic syndrome [1].

Absolutely. Why continuously reinvent the wheel when there are far more interesting problems to work on :)

That's why I used the word "typically." This absolutely does not mean "always," but I didn't think I'd have to clarify that.

Proof of counter examples does not invalidate that statement. I could just as easily mention non-technical founders such as Steve Jobs, Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Tim Westergren (Pandora), Aaron Levie (Box), or Sean Rad (Tinder). And just a

Likewise. If their co-whatever wrote all the code, they sound like the employee. Bosses, visionaries, and founders typically don't write code, they delegate it to people who do. Being an "idea person" is not comparable to bei

When this inevitably happens to VSCode, I'm sure we'll all flock to Sublime Text in droves (or some hip new editor on the block). Contingency planning for this could be a small but wise time investment for dependent teams. VSCode
