It is like we have unlocked an entirely new category of stereotyping that we never even realized existed. Intelligence is not a prerequisite to speak fancifully. Some other examples: 1. We generally assume that lawyers or CEOs or leaders wh

Solutions to nonexistent problems don't generate any GDP. Not fighting off aliens is bad for the economy. IMO way too much attention goes to beating around the bush when we need to take a step back and ask some more abstract questions

I love the idea of being able to move your mouse cursor without moving your hand off of the keyboard. I just don't think that the trackpoint was fast and accurate enough to pull it off. I want to see someone try out a solution where ea

If you don't take any vacation, is there a payout at the end of the year? If so, how many weeks? I doubt it is 52. I've seen a couple companies with unlimited vacation policies only give 3 weeks. That makes things significantly wo

Not sure if I'd do it federally... maybe start with a few trial cities or areas where the idea has a lot of support... But I'd be all for trying something like this!

Something I've noticed about chat ais vs direct search is that because a chat ai is a blackbox, I can't dig into an answer's source at all. With a search, I can read the wikipedia sources or I know the forum, or the poster. B

Working remote has the potential to reverse this, but it will take time. When I had the opportunity to choose where to live around 10 years ago, I chose a city with many of my friends in it. Now if only house prices would drop a bit to make

Of course disk speed has caught up. Single core clock speed hasn't changed in over 10 years now? Disk now uses SSD and has been chugging along with improvements. I'm curious what a multi thread(multi process for python due to GIL?

As others have said, the researchers got close but missed the mark here. If you're trying to innovate while staring someone down on a video call, you're doing it wrong. Get a white boarding app. They're better than real world
