If you have someone walking on tightrope over the grand canyon in stormy weather, you don't need the exact wind speed to make educated guess that the winner will be gravity. I think he is too emotional and overly sensational though.

Right now we are in the golden age where we do the same and take time off. Employers have not yet fully caught up with the workforce. I can't think of people that are not putting less hours this year for the same salaries.

I kinda feel for the guy. The institutions failed him twice - first by ignoring the red flags in the name of DEI, then by refusing to take accountability about his undeserved academic career. If someone from Cambridge was brave enough to sa

Code is the hard part if you are John Carmack or in a similar position where you have to squeeze every drop of performance from a hardware. That is the minority of programmers.

You need some form of plasma that is stable and able to self organize. Is there any part of the physics where this is possible?

There should be laws ensuring that every market there should be at least 5-6 players and is free or is declared natural monopoly/monopsony and regulated. The in between you have all the bad from monopolies in the forms of cartels.

There is AI productivity boom - people that are heavy AI users are working less time. They are just not producing more.

I guess it can but it will be useless. After all the model superpower is awareness and ability to guess and infer some stuff. Right now a model saves you time not only by coding faster, but that it can figure out some stuff about the shape

That is not how it works because of how bloated everything is. There is rarely a movie, book or series lately that are not 2 times longer than needed. So you are forced to go for aggressive recaps. Most of the non pulp books published - con

It is true. And only Chinese Han people can continue work on what is already released. But they will be forbidden. /s Sarcasm aside - if the community can't get their shit together to continue improving what is currently public, w

A question to the crypto nerds here - is there a way to prove that you are of age, but you can't be deanonymized even if the government, identity provider and the website itself collaborate to do it?

Just last week in Europe we had - Islamist ramming a vehicle in pride parade in Berlin and Islamist stabbing in France - in which three women were seriously hurt. Do you claim that those didn't happen, were exaggerated or invented out

A lot of people are fed up with uncontrolled migration and are drifting to parties that promise this to stop or be reverted. No need of US interference to explain it. And they choose democratic way to try and reverse it

Yes, yes we do. We want slaves, servants and serfs for every task that we don't enjoy. Always was, always has been, always will be. I want Rosie from the Jetsons to fold my laundry, Jarvis to do my emails. I don't want a robot to
