I have heard horror stories of people collecting their pets after being transported in the cargo hold of a commercial airliner, and discovering that they've gone deaf, probably because they were left out on the ramp for too long near a

I remember when Obama got elected in 2008, all the pundits were gleefully explaining how he was a master of social media and had this expert team of young digital natives who had used big data to target their bring out the vote efforts, bla

I just took it to mean it's sketchy downloading and running a binary from a forum where you don't speak the language. You have no idea if the vibe on the forum is friendly or hostile, if the first response to the post you're

What a joke. There is no incentive for them to reduce costs. Any time some change or obstacle comes up - well, let's spend another $500M, that will take care of it. And people still think we should place more of the economy under the c

Do you think founders should retain ownership of the companies they create? Fred Smith’s wealth comes from the notional value of his ownership of a small fraction of an enormously successful and societally useful business. It’s not as if he

This makes Dall-E 2 both more and less impressive to me. More impressive, because of how good it is at capturing and synthesizing a wide variety of topics in a reasonably coherent way, and how it seems like it would actually be a viable mec

Oh, I didn’t check the URL first. “Look, a simple rule made this picture! It looks very complicated. The universe is also very complicated. Therefore I’ve discovered the theory of everything. Look, this one looks like a tree! I am so great.

I actually thought it was meant to be funny and humanized Kim Jong Un a bit. You may be right that it was not intended that way, though.

I am going to bookmark this article as a classic example of reporting so ill-informed that it confuses cause and effect, as described by Michael Crichton in characterizing “Gell-Mann Amnesia.” https://www.epsilontheory.com/g

Autopilots in airplanes have nothing to do with autonomous driving. Airplane autopilots are so simple they they can be implemented with entirely analog circuits. They are simple feedback control loops that operate off a single scalar variab

So, it sounds like, this guy worked for CorpCo, found a security issue with OtherCo's app, and explored their APIs (maybe from CorpCo's network?), including accessing at least one CC number that was not his. Someone else later dis

The solution you propose is arguably just as bad and I suspect it might be illegal in the US. If I am a qualified manager or tech lead, and there is an opportunity to lead a new project, I would be furious to learn that I was passed over fo
