Is the 2.50:1 just a broad estimate or based on something? When I was doing pricing for service contracts it was usually around 1.50:1 burdened billing rate vs direct labor (income)

wouldn't this effectively be using a "model" twice the size? Would it be better to just double the size of one of the models rather than house both? Genuine question

Are you saying Google is currently trying to offer more value to society and they can't find the funds? My core stance probably comes down to: I don't see how putting money into payroll can be considered a waste to society. It&#x2

Eh. The purpose of a job is to do the job. Creating value feels more like the purpose of the business. Google is creating value, and I dont see the problem with them creating a bunch of easy jobs for people as a means of distributing that

Would being tighter with their budgets and reducing headcount give them more incentive to build more useful things? They built the useful thing already. It prints money. Let them house and feed a bunch of people as employees. Idk maybe I&#x

Does it count if you allow the test to be accurate but you still maintain control over when it is wrong? I just spammed F and randomly hit D and it pretty much never predicted the D. Which I think captures a fundamental flaw in algorithms v

I posted directly to the original comment, but there is very strong evidence that sleep apnea was severely (~90%!) undiagnosed in 2008. 10 years ago was 2013, so hopefully that number improved between 2008 and 2013, but I'd imagine it

There was a study done in 2008 where surgeons wanted to find out how many surgical patients were undiagnosed with sleep apnea, presumably because it had an impact on the operating table. The results were that 20% of patients had sleep apnea

The government is not providing my internet. I believe the internet should be treated like the mail, but until the government actually steps in and takes ownership of it, they have no business having access to the metadata necessary to rout

I am still learning transformers, but I believe part of the issue may be that the weights do not necessarily correlate to things like "orangeness" Instead of a transformer for each color, you have like 5 to 100 weights that repres

I used pinterest and still hate(d) when it popped up on search. Without too much conjecture I think the problem is search-related web crawlers and users have very different experiences with pinterest. To the web crawler, the information is

If A then B does not imply If B then A But, "If A then B" & "B" together do create a signal for A. The strength of that signal is dependent on the statistics involved. In this context, A is a bad boss and B is getti

I'm not sure which side you are arguing for? Is the simple metaphor of 3 layers in the brain equivalent to saying gasses want to be together and solids want to rest? I think part of the debate in the comment section is on what kind of

I'm just a wannabe game designer, but what comes to mind for me would be to apply an entire board Conway update every X (4?) turns. I think it would be a bit easier to mentally manage than having every piece on its own count Might give

Ethical Defaults is something I've been casually supporting for a long time. I think the statistics around organ donation are what got me started on it. We really should have legislation mandating minimum consent by default options, an

I agree on the subject, but I think we can leave port scans out of the discussion because they are not an issue as you suggest and still apply everything I am saying to other issues. There would still be upside of potentially addressing the

Yes exactly with the weirdness. Which is why I am leaning heavily into being a proponent of it needing some laws created explicitly for this situation that will clarify what's considered fair activity between researchers, companies, re

I proposed a preference for systemic solutions over a soft dependence on white hat hackers who operate identically to black hat hackers right up until they have a vulnerability to exploit and decide what to do with it. In this thread I expa

I agree liability should be part of the discussion. If we create a legal framework around the subject and clearly identify what's allowed or not allowed by independent researchers and what the ownership model actually is, then this p

The Ship has not sailed. The ship is still on its way to port. Complete internet surveillance is arguably an unstoppable force on the way to shore. I think when it gets here there is going to be a lot more trouble for cybersecurity experts

This is cool. I'm not sure if I missed it, but did they address how a signal is generated by the array in the first place? My current understanding is that the device will echo a signal back to the source, not propagate it forward or c
