They would still have to pay themselves, presumably with investments and donations (and subsidies).

Simpler but funny tech support anecdote: at some point, someone called me over and said their keyboard would print the letter 'e' repeatedly. I tried another keyboard of course, and it still did it! Rebooted the computer, still &#

Yes, I don't know how one can be able to cite sources yet be so ill-informed. This article probably doesn't mean anything to anyone. Open source means you get the source, that's it. OSI is a good reference, but it's not

I seem to recall doing some math and finding out the limit for some models of LLM was pretty close to that. If so, this book is likely the result of a single prompt, which seems to me like a lazy way to be lazy.

Pretty bad UI, I just thought there were more outfits.

They are truly boringly nice.

I've been coding for most of my life and I can't believe some people would choose some of these tricks when python has much simpler syntax for most of these. The first, *_, last trick for example would be particularly obnoxious to

Likewise. I used it 10 years ago and it looks the same. Good luck trying to get non-technical people to use it.

"Fine default" indeed, as the alternative for a Scrum-inspired process is often nothing. I expect a lot of people hating on it come from big corps, where bureaucracy is already stifling. In a startup, Scrum may be your best way to

Yep. Just look at Tumblr.

As someone who was on reddit for about as long, I miss that. But I wonder if it's really reddit I miss, or the naive web we had back then, that allowed people to get excited? Back when everything was not engineered specifically to grab

I used to work with Drupal, it was a security nightmare, like almost all community-based extension system (see also npm). Modules made Drupal popular, they also made it close to impossible to have any sense of security, as only very popular

If there was something to leak, it was always going to. Just a matter of when. Pretending otherwise is just security theater.

Or rather, copyright is as long as Disney needs it to be. The length keeps getting pushed back, suspiciously close to when Mickey Mouse would enter public domain. All this to say, don't expect anything to enter public domain anytime so

The problem is there are no sources and many claims. I can barely tell what point, if any, they're trying to make. They don't seem to know about the g factor, which I've linked to many times today. The existence of it means o

HBD is so fringe I had a hard time googling it. Just because a subset of a subfield is politically motivated and hateful does not invalidate the whole field. That intelligence testing can be misrepresented to defend racism is an argument ag

A big issue here is "production" is basically anything that happens in front of a computer. Individual workers will be fired, yes, but entire companies, sectors even, can now be made obsolete overnight. What happens when thinking

Respectfully, you chose the wrong hill to die on. Psychology has many squishy parts, but psychometry is basically the closest thing it has to a hard science. The other comment adresses your NQ argument, but here's something I don'

As horrified as I am for people whose jobs will be lost (including mine, quite possibly), "content" is such a plague on humanity I'm glad it will soon be devalued into the ground. Moutains of useless tweets and blog posts wil

This is a terrible analogy, IQ tests measure something real and objective called the g factor : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics) Also, intelligence tests are but a tiny part of psychology, I would

This is a common belief that used to be true, but no longer is. IQ tests are reasonably good at measuring general intelligence, ie the g factor : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

When it comes to manage the insanely complex systems that form society, I think I would choose an incorruptible (if biased) AI before a fallible human being any day.

Personally, I don't want it stopped, just labeled and controlled. Don't sell me AI-made books and tell me they're written by humans. Don't send me AI-written emails, if it's not worth writing it's not worth rea
