   Is any form of government regulation of corporate actions fascism in your view? Where is the line drawn?

   This is still a recommendation algorithm, just less enjoyable/addicting one. Any process by which you decide what to show to a user is an algorithm .

   I wonder if someone could be arrested for gaining unauthorized access to a computer system via fraud under US law for doing that.

   Well I don’t have Linkedin so that’s a shame. The idea is very good.

   I think you put way too much stock into pedigree and what university people went to for undergrad.

   This is a great question that rarely gets answered. It’s partially that a ton of student students went to school for computer science because they saw how much money could be made, another fraction is people that switched into software from

    > The AI is coming for that too. That may be true I’m not gonna say one way or the other, but if AI comes for that then almost all knowledge work is effectively dead, so all that’s left would be sales or physical labor.

    Plainly, we don’t have to pretend like there could be unforeseen consequences. This is a thing that exists in many jurisdictions and many societies around the world and we can see that many reasonable people become police officers in those

    > And if you have a local app, how do you take a dependency on whatever random model is installed? Reading the tea leaves here, it will probably be common for OS’s to have built in models that can be accessed via API. Apple already does

    Indeed, pedagogy is important to staving off the end of mathematics. That sounds dramatic, but it’s really obvious if you think about it. Right now, a person has to study for about 20 years (on average) to make novel contributions in mathem

    Spending some time in and around applied research labs and seeing how poorly the sausage looks before it gets made into a paper is quite distressing. I’m sure there are labs out there doing excellent work (especially those focused on theory

    What do you mean by “cognitive elites?” I’ve met some exceptional people: top researchers from top universities from several fields, super well paid engineers working on products you probably use, some of the best hackers an advanced persis

    Diffe-Hellman-Merkel key exchange is vulnerable to attacker-in-the-middle attacks. Eave could just do key negotiation with Alice and separately do key negotiation with Bob. You have to use a slightly more complicated cryptographic protocol

    You can surely find edge cases everywhere when trying to classify the entire population of the industrialized world into two groups. What about the 10 year NVIDIA employee who held on to every stock grant and bought at every opportunity?

    How can you read a 1k lone change? What are you doing where 200kloc is even remotely acceptable? That’s like half a percent of linux.

    I don’t understand what the downside of this is. That’s hilarious for them to expect, and you’re free to ignore them, take their suggestion and work on it, help them.

    I agree it was a good idea and there’s more to product success, but you were specifically talking about coding skill level. There are some things I could easily say I (and many others) could not build even in retrospect. Solidworks, for exa

    I haven’t looked at OpenClaw but I get the impression anyone could build it. It doesn’t do anything technically impressive, does it?

    The book was written well before the internet was invented, but it still warns against exactly that kind of shallow manipulation. The book may as well be called “how to be a cool person that is well liked and people respect”

    The idea is for it to he extremely minimal which strikes me as a very opinionated stance, and not opinions I agree with.
