You'll be asked to add a 10% tip for the algorithm. And if you refuse you'll be down-prioritized for the next deliveries.

Feels like a discussion on game theory ought to have been included from the employee's perspective: 1. If you don't speak up, no one will ever know you had an idea or solution. 2. If you speak up and someone in power is offended,

Step 1: Hand over your email address. Step 2: Bye. Seriously, why would I give some random service my email address to send a cartoon of a banana? This feels more like a litmus test for basic online intelligence.

I believe there are two reasons. First, there have been so many recent scandals, people are tired or unable to focus on yet another scandal, no matter how egregious. Second, it appears as if almost all the rich and/or powerful are invo

This. Most bosses are so obsessed with applying Pareto's 80/20 rule in all situations (even when it does not apply) that most would trade velocity for accuracy without thinking. Frankly, I doubt the average manager would know wron

You're running an inference on the server or sending requests to DeepSeek? If it's the former, mention it because that's good for data privacy. If it's the latter, all data ends up in DeepSeek's hands.
