Not to be combative with the response here, but the density of destruction in Gaza is on par with the likes of Dresden. It's not really exaggeration to say that Gaza is one of the most bombed places since Vietnam, and you don't ha

I disagree with this, in this issue and more broadly. Technology and hacking are inextricably linked to politics, whether we like it or not. We cannot separate the effects technology has on society and the body politic, and politics has an

Really interesting trends. I was surprised to see that graphic design jobs not only got more in demand but also paid more. Also interesting to see that people seem to be more interested in integration than developing new ml tech. Kind of ma

Okay sure, we can make that argument. But that's not what they said. "Profiting" off public money is just embezzlement.

It does feel like people don't give Google enough credit that, even in it's current state, they still do a pretty good job in the face of basically every bad actor on the internet.

I'm not sure what this guy's obsession with violent crime is. What SBF did was incredibly violent. He destroyed the fortunes of thousands of people in a way that caused visceral material harm. I'd rather get punched in the

Thank you for telling this moron exactly what I wanted to say. White collar crime is incredibly violent, it's just well hidden.

Don't forget the part where they based most of their valuation on a currency they printed.

SBF lost billions of dollars. How does one work to pay that all back, especially with his crap reputation?

If you think 25 years is too much, I don't think you actually understand what he did, how many people he did it to, and why what he did was bad. Think about the years of savings he destroyed.

The entire neoliberal ideology needs to be reevaluated at every level of business in this country. We're destroying our skilled labor forces and our economy to pursue short term gains and it's going to have a negative impact on ou

> How can you be giddy about a human being locked in a cage for 25 years? Said human is responsible for the financial ruin of thousands of people. It's entirely likely that some small portion of those people committed suicide. White

I'm not broadly aware of what Milken did but it sounds like he paid the price for his crimes and served his sentence. If he's rejoined society and has had a positive social impact, I'd call that a win.

He was judged before a jury of his peers and found wanting. It's not revenge, it's being held accountable for his actions. Some crimes, like murder, can't just be "corrected". The solution we've landed on as a

I'm tired of people saying this when someone expresses a skeptical viewpoint. You don't need a doctorate in statistical computing to have an opinion.

Imagine a search engine but there's no context and it's 5x more expensive to run and there's no ad revenue. I think in the long run, LLMs will be packaged with the OS (because only organizations like Microsoft and Apple have

Supposedly the ship issued a mayday prior to losing power and hitting the bridge, so they were able to stop traffic and limit the number of people on the bridge during the accident. Most of the people who went down with it were construction

They were also cheap to build and they built a fuck load of them. Personally I'd prefer it if people could actually afford to live in cities if I had to make the choice between putting up some ugly buildings vs delaying development or
