To be honest, my experience of private enterprise is that they insist on doing things hard, slow and very custom. Almost every problem that exists is distinct enough that you can argue it doesn't fit the existing COTS software. It&#x27

If you really want a job at my company, and the level at which you decide "this isn't worth my time" is 2 minutes to enter your details then you weren't a good fit in the first place. There are genuine reasons to turn do

Sorry, but I was on reddit atleast since 2008 and it was obvious even then that 80%+ of the redditors hadn't read the articles, the whole reason they were on reddit was to chat to other redditors, not to actually read the article. It&#

It's asymmetrical though right, accidentally not shutting down when it's unclear has a small likelihood of a massive loss of life. Accidentally not shutting down results in some eocnomic loss and lots of delays, but in a real way

It looks like it means that even the founders of Ethereum intended to enable fraud, disguising large institutional investors as many individual investors so that the market would be mislead about the popularity of ethereum. Or to be frank

That's actually quite funny, I would say gist is pronounced jist but only because it's clearly a play on the word "jist" in the first place. Like a branded version of a generic term - like tumblr where we all know it&#x2

Is it impressive? I would've thought this is exactly what we expected. Actual artists are off making stuff they can sell, and 99.99% of them don't know what an NFT is. Meanwhile there's a whole community of teenagers on the i

Looking at the information surrounding the sources you've cited, it seems like you've literally cited the dissenting voices from the consensus view. It's not a coincidence that Scott literally names his book "Against the

I think you've just redefined self-driving as such as a trivial achievement moving shipping containers in docks resembles large scale pick and place far more closely than self-driving cars.

I'm conflicted by this article. I'm sympathetic to it, but some things just really push past my BS meter. For example: >This is related to why man became stunted with the dawn of agriculture. We traded a life limited by the occ

I think one thing that your explanation is missing is that a skilled basketball player has technique. The reason he sinks 50 3 pointers in a row is because he has a technique that minimizes variance and muscle memory that allows him to move

This is essentially why I think we're not going to get self-driving. A few years ago we produced something that could do a good job of pretending to drive under a tiny number of circumstances, and people went "OMG it can drive!&

No, read the conversation again, it's not pretending. It's reciting facts from wikipedia but conjugating in the first person instead of the third. >User What are your parents like? My dad is a celebrity, he's a poet, he&

I do think that limiting yourself to 1 day, 1 week, 1 month horizons is... limiting. Making predictions on that horizon is essentially predicting events (earnings, mergers etc.) and market dynamics. For example, I've worked at a public

Yes, it costs you $5 to run a website so just run tonnes of them and hope 1 wins. Or $500 to run a trading system, but the difference between payoff N/T and payoff N+1/T+1 is greater than 500. Assuming obviously that you have a tr

No, the problem is that you're conflating a decision by google to not serve relevant results for moral and business reasona with a failure by google to do what they intend to do. They don't care if you search for far right stuff,

This is very common in high-frequency trading. There's only so much you can do to capture the number 1 spot, and the number 1 spot means x% of market share, so a perfectly legitimate strategy is duplicate your entire hardware 5x, since
