I presume when they say "AI is used for data analysis" they're talking about traditional AI (more frequently referred to as "machine learning") rather than generative AI (LLMs).

Well, they're also doing the old "burn through VC cash in the name of growth" thing.

This assumes, among other things, that they come from a stable home that has space for them and access to the things they need to create and maintain an income stream.

Code review is your last (and worst) line of defense. Humans are not good at needle-in-a-haystack tasks.

The banana would be interesting art if the concept hadn't been done a million times before. This iteration is just a cash grab (and/or publicity play). Which does, to an extent, make it interesting again, so what if it's a co

It helps to do basic research before dismissing as laughable the actual chess format, often called "centaur chess", where a human and a chess engine play as a team, and are generally stronger than a chess engine alone. https:&#x2

[nitpick] I think it's more the natural result of capitalism that is well-regulated only on the consumer side. There are very few poultry processors largely because it is difficult and expensive to comply with consumer regulations and

One of the biggest challenges for the FAA et al. is preventing both individuals and organizations from developing this kind of complacency, where something extremely dangerous becomes "just how we do it here, and it's fine".

More importantly, these newsrooms are run by people who get their money from the same places. How much are they going to tolerate narratives that go against their financial interests?

To quote the philosopher Tankian: "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Those in power right now have no personal disincentive to real kinetic war. It doesn't affect them personally, or

When someone tries to schedule a meeting during my focus hours, I decline it. When someone DMs me about an issue they should post in the support channel, I link them to the support channel. If they insist, I link them to it again, and I inf

Ah, I miss the days when this sort of soft plagiarism required a minimal level of effort and even some genuine research. It might even rise to the level of "acceptable" if she cited her sources more thoroughly. Sadly, as presented

I suppose Derek's writing style is similar enough that it's easy to accidentally credit him for that line. I have to wonder whether Clark's influence is a significant contributor to his writing style. It would be fun to ask h

They are more interested in personally retaining power over the Democratic party than they are in winning elections. Republicans winning is a better outcome for them than progressives unseating them in the party.

I assumed that each of these entities would also earn 100% of their contribution to the value created. How you split up the credit is a difficult problem. (As many developers will note, there is no such thing as a 'cost center'; a

Framing this in terms of The Beginner's Guide , I think it's more like: "I just completed a project into which I poured not just all of my time and energy, but also all of my self-worth. It was a massive success. Now I have

The answer is 100%. This brings us to the start point of the real conversation this person is trying to have, which likely centers on the nature of employment, the importance of Job Creators, and/or the infallibility of markets.

Among other reasons, because the employer holds all of that information and I'm not given access to it. It's an asymmetric information problem.

Ideally the union wants to deal with the larger entity that controls the studio. Presumably, the studio did not go out of business; rather, it was shut down by its parent company.

A small amount of it does go to your 401(k), yes. A much larger amount goes to executives, largely through stock-based compensation, and much wealthier investors.

The NFLPA functionally only deals with one company (the NFL) so it's not really a great example. Most professional sports leagues have a players' union specific to that league. The others, though, yes.

One of the neat things about donating small amounts is that the tax benefit is negligible, so you can expand your targets to entities not registered as formal nonprofits. There are a lot of small but highly effective organizations that woul

Yeah, a lot of the cargo e-bikes are closer in size to a moped than to an acoustic bike, which makes them much more difficult to steal. A heavy-duty chain and a keyed ignition are typically an effective deterrent.

It absolutely does, because monetization leads to weaponization of patterns of addiction. Key things Balatro does not have, that make it a poor example of the problem of addictive games: 1. Monetization. See above. 2. Anything timed. At all

It's a roguelike deckbuilder. The randomness is necessary to the genre. I think you've missed something important: none of these elements in Balatro are monetized. The only way the developer makes more money is through players tel
