Did you read the article? They're funneling company funds into the cult. It's literally embezzlement.

Thank you for asking this question. "I'm stuck in a rut, wanting to better my skills and earn a good amount of money but unable to concentrate, riddled with brain fog, and unsure of my future" - I can describe myself to a tee

I could see the captcha solution someone mentioned being possible. Take a randomly selected group of 10,000 active users, show them a captcha, and look at the percentage of respondents.

If twitter could detect what accounts were spam/fake accounts.. wouldn't they just.. ban them? The number of spam/fake accounts depends highly on the accuracy of your classifier. Twitter's classifier could just be: &quot

If by social psychology you mean: knowing how to navigate social situations gracefully, and form meaningful connections -- then I would say it's the most important skill even over technical ability. However viewing it as Machiavellian&

There's nothing wrong with having a weakness. Plenty of 'strong' figures you probably look up to have had issues with substance abuse (although social media addiction is probably a newer form of it). I'd even argue that

How would they require a third party client to display the ad? That sounds like a nightmare in many directions. Enforcement and proper monetization being the first things that come to mind.

Imagine an unmarked dead end street with a "Do not enter" sign only visible upon exit. Did I just invalidate the whole idea of self-driving cars?

My experience hasn't been the same. All chat is toxic just as often as team chat. ggez, lots of taunts and jests after getting a kill on you, and the laner who lost lane against you rubbing it in your face after his team carries you --

I think we should all give Facebook some credit. The thing that really impressed me is how skilled an AI is at writing PR statements.

This is the same thing as "Billionaire who donates 1% of his net worth to charity claims he isn't greedy."

I found the Remarkable quite good. I have a problem where I lose my notebooks, or have multiple notebooks for the same topic. The Remarkable is nice in that I can put it all in one device. Also the writing experience is 90% of the way to na

Genuine question then.. how are we supposed to function properly as software engineers, especially in jobs with long feedback loops? The nature of my job is that I'm almost more of a train conductor than a software engineer. I configur

Surely executives aren't confusing their administrative requests with computing system concepts. The correct answer is simply that it's become a passive way of telling someone to do something. Instead of "Can you provide us a

Very interesting, thanks for the explanation. I work on an ML team as well and definitely notice the heavy reliance on analysis. Almost like reading tea leaves at some point.

Where do the relevance scores come from? Are they human rated? I feel like that could leave room for error as raters would probably not have the same opinion as me on what a good document is.

Totally agree, at least anecdotally. Working in ML for a large company has really tested my liking for programming. The amount of plumbing/testing/code reviewing needed just to get a tiny feature usable for a ML model is absurd. T
