The message might be indeed end-to-end encrypted but the local WhatsApp installation could extract keywords as you type from the message and send them to Meta.

In previous times you really had to make an effort to insult someone - engraving this probably took some time.

I used to think corporations strive to reduce costs and therefore keep their workforce to the minimum necessary. Now my theory is that managers in a company try to maximize their influence and standing and this is mostly done by making sure

Some of these answers seem to be too good to be true and certainly need to be verified by others. Beside that, even if the interview is not manipulated, it is not a proof for human-like sentience. Human emotions are based on neurochemical p

Some popular packages are Python version dependent. For example, I was using Python 3.10 early and no Python wheels for 3.10 were released for PyTorch back then. The only thing you can do in this case is to either wair for the publisher to

The difficulty in making accurate predictions here is based on the fact that we humans tend to think the status quo linearly into the future, which is why many wrong predictions have been made regarding the adaptation of computers or the In

Critics might now argue that the goal of the diversity movement was never to create equal opportunities for everyone but to promote specific groups. Anyway, the illogic of this movement already starts with the fact that only certain charact

Olympic Games have been used before to underline the power and greatness of a nation - look at how the 1936 Games were used propaganda-wise, so I don't think this is a new phenomenon. What has definitely changed is the importance of li

The idea that there are KPIs that can be used to objectively measure the performance of an SE and that the worst performers will be fired is an illusion. In reality, the direct manager has it in his hands: If he wants to get rid of one of h

I don't think people who say they work 14 hours a day are lying. They just count in everything that is somehow related to their job, like reading about their business in the newspaper or thinking about work in the shower. And that&#x27

Why does this get so many upvotes? There is no value in the linked post other than saying: Buy my masterclass!

It's like telling the government to put certain companies out of business because the owner has a worldview that I don't like.

Most big tech companies now use "conditional access" for their login with the hypothesis that this increases security. Even if it does, it leads to a drastic reduction in user-friendliness as OP has seen. It is like saying: The be

This is a how things are handled at companies that get 500+ applications for each open position and/or are just incompetent. At smaller companies it is very likely that actual humans read a résumé without the keyword matching bullshit.

To me, the most promising use cases for a blockchain would be activities that are today carried out by government agencies, states or lawyers. Anyone who has ever bought a property in central Europe knows how much money has to be spent on t

I have a smiliar feeling. Humans have certain wishes or desires and use language as a vehicle to express their feelings. Language models in turn just predict the next best tokens based on a large corpus of training data without an agenda be

When I write a README for a library I always try to include 1-2 code samples of the highlights of said library. So the reader sees quickly what to expect.

I can safely say that most of the time upper management spends in meetings is wasted but what counts are the 5-10% of time when actual important decisions are made. I'd argue the same is true for developers: Changing that one line of c

I see Bitcoin closer to the art market then to gold or a currency. There is de facto no universal rule for pricing a work of art other than what someone is willing to pay for it at auctions. As long as everyone assumes that artworks will be

As much as I admire the idea of free information sharing, I think the decoupling of time and effort put into the creation of digital content and its monetization is a fundamental problem. It may be that many creators produce their content o

I'd have guessed that it should be possible to get a reasonable amount of $ for selling access to FBI email servers but maybe the person(s) behind the attack don't care much about money.

In my opinion a complete misuse of the term "robotic". Similarly how the term "AI" was (and is) abused by tech companies marketing departments.

An old discussion but I still think that interview questions like the TicTacToe example completely miss the point. The vast majority of engineers are stopped by questions like: Why does this version of a library no longer work? How do I add

I wonder how many of these meetings just exist to fill time and feel important. Yes, communication and dicussions in a team are important but I throw the hypothesis into the room that most of these could also be solved in a 5 minutes walkin

If I think about things that should be automatized with robots in this world my number one priority would be boring or exhausting work like repairing roads, mine work, deliver goods from A to B. Why should we replace the "human" p
