Pichai is simply a poor performer. Google's core businesses have gone markedly downhill just over the past few years: - A regular Google search typically returns unrelated products for sale, 15 pages of corporate media and broken Engl

In California, for instance: "A corporation may appear and participate in a small claims action only through a regular employee, or a duly appointed or elected officer or director, who is employed, appointed, or elected for purposes ot

Alright, so getting a legal education isn't easy. Admittance to the bar takes years, and the test is non-trivial. (You can't just waltz in with a high IQ and expect to pass without serious study. You can't bullshit your wa

The question posed by the article, and reviewed therein -- namely, "what did Posner really think of the law?" -- is comprehensively answered in Posner's own book "The Problems of Jurisprudence." It is an excellent

I see parallels to Nikola's "Nikola One" video, where they claimed that their truck was driving along using its newfangled zero-emission engines, but in reality it was just rolling downhill in a totally staged video. Nikola&

Interesting. Thanks. For some reason, at the time, it didn't work at all -- but I've double checked it right now with Midjourney & in Dream Studio, and it works now using the same old prompts. Old sticking points are being sw

This reminds me of something a few friends and I tried a couple of months ago: No matter what prompt was used, neither Midjourney nor Dream Studio could generate an image of a man wearing a red suit jacket with a blue shirt. (We were tryi

Look up the recent case of Aaron Singerman. He was sentenced to five years, but was out in ten months. Didn't spend a single Christmas behind bars. Now, this was presumably for some form of cooperation, and the circumstances are unc

11 years for defrauding "investors" who literally hoodwinked themselves and couldn't bother to do basic due diligence is egregious.

For whatever its worth... I wrote a fairly technical book on a niche engineering subject which I published exclusively on Amazon. (My company covered the expenses and set up an ISBN, etc.) In its first month, it sold about 200 copies, was

Their products are fairly mundane and seem ethically neutral in themselves, so why do you suppose this is? There are probably thousands of companies that do more damage to society than Palantir. For e.g., every company associated with an u

I'll just chime in to say that logged hours don't always translate to hours spent playing. I'll often launch a video game, play for 20 minutes, and then alt-tab into my browser and get back to work, with the game paused in th

Same here. Fisher's essay stuck with me, and now it comes to mind whenever I see the words "Vampire Castle." It's also quite remarkable that it was written in 2013, because the problems Fisher described in the essay di
