A lot of them have rules forcing them to have some amount of exposure to indexes of a market, or all entries in a market. There are MAJOR rule changes made to allow them to do this (90 day wait-time reduced to 5 days, financial stability re

Archive.is has some kind of phone tracking CAPTCHA. So now what, a phone is proof of humanity? How is that not defeated by botfarms in an hour, alongside tracking you, as well as a horrible UX? I hate modern surveillance capitalism.

Wow. This would be 'meh' if it was some weird individual. This is a 'whitehouse.gov' domain. This our our the Trump Administration folks. Acting like immature 13 year old, and making jokes no one under 40. And doing

This is a false dichotomy presented to people. By framing this as 'Giant government, or giant business?" you are going to get crap answers. None of these are one size fits all solutions, and there should be a mix. We have a work

Great, please apply this to yourself, and livestream all of the time, leave the rest of us out of this. People don't have one standard of behavior. I won't tell my kid jokes, I tell my wife. I won't complain about people in

This is the fascist dream. Who defines 'Best Behavior?' Whoever owns the cameras, and the cops. Criticize the president? Not best behavior. Kiss someone of your sex/gender? Not best behavior. Call AI stupid? Not best behavi

Folks; use some common sense. Results that are too good to be true! The probably are. If this study was reproducible (it is not) someone would have started using it, bragging about it, and we would have 'recovery vacations' to cru

I read all the articles. I didn't see any mentioning red tape, or regulations.* All that talk of 'regulations' and 'red tape' is a guess. This stink of a "Low priority project use as a place-holder, but as soo

Folks; Yeah this is a run of the mill dead low-priority project. It happens in private industry, capitalism, communism, the roman empire, etc. Only because government is out in the open, it is easy to see. I don't have proof, but this

God. This isn't AI. None of this is AI. This is dumb sketchy LLM, and the fact that they are destroying the term 'AI' bu building things well short of it, and lying about it, makes me sad.

These comments are such an amazing show of very knowledgable and wise people, and complete moppets that have no clue, and can't stop playing expert on things they have no clue on. :pop-corn:

I love how everything is just "AI" now. Machine Learning? AI Random Forest models: AI Some basic curve fitting? AI People in India Mechanical Turk-ing responses ? AI. A guy in a van running the robot pouring you a drink? AI.

Folks, those buildings can be empty, either as a mind!@#% or just crazy future capacity forecasts that may not be real. Watching a bunch of arm-chair experts guess that this building means more than it is is a wastes of time. (Approx) 3% o

"It Could Be Worse" is the absolute worst apologist argument, for anything. Please never excuse something bad, because you can imagine, or see somewhere else something even worse.

Yeah, I (as a biker) also hate dangerous bikers. Especially those weaving onto / off of the sidewalks. The up-side is that the most dangerous bike is 1/100th as damaging as a perfect driver sneezing at the wrong time.

This is actually the opposite. at 10X the size, we have 30x the commuters (it scales faster than population) and 30x the demand. All of these 'car' cities used to have great streetcar or subway networks, we tore them out when we d

Folks, a) every town had a soda fountain, and a local favorite in 1880's. b) Every town has 3 social media apps, but smart college students in 1999. c) every town has 5 new LLM model companies, in 2023 Charles Munger is such a smart

'A lot of people' here being 'Many American men, in engineering / programming who are often unaware'. A lot of the women I have worked with (in dev/engineers) notice and are annoyed by this kind of mis-match.
