Yeah, I’ve seen lots of these videos. I’d expect YouTube would want creators to do this since viewers see it and get inspired to become YouTube creators. The same logic applies to most tech jobs. I would expect more big tech companies wou

I keep seeing this type of thing popping up. The short answer is because people are expecting more from the web. What interests me is why are so many people perturbed by this. If I look through my bookmarks, pretty much everything could be

I actually think this would be a great idea...for the Moon. Pro-athletes making millions of dollars per year won't want to spend their whole lives in a desolate, extremely remote desert. The Moon has a much more reasonable commute. And

I think this whole argument boils down to "people need to be inspired to do something great". Settling Antarctica isn't as inspiring as colonizing Mars. But in my estimation, colonizing Mars would run out of steam really qu

> the workers are underpaid What's your definition of "underpaid"? What does anyone deserve to get paid? It's really really difficult to create some sort of moral framework around the jobs people do and the rewards

I think a problem you get with tipping is that you have no idea what the worker is getting paid, and you have no idea what they deserve . You go up to the counter and you assume that's the case, and I'm sure much more often tha

I would rather work with someone with a lot of opinions than someone with few opinions, even if those opinions are very different from mine. Someone with few opinions isn’t really going to contribute new ideas. They’re not going to foster d

Can you please tell this to congress?

by baron816 4y ago
Please keep in mind that if really true, it is not a binary thing. It’s a distribution. There are going to be plenty of women who are more interested in things than the median man, and there are plenty of men who are more interested in peop

It's not a societal thing. Men are more risk tolerant. I believe there have been studies to show this transcends societies and cultures. That doesn't mean women aren't risk tolerant, or that they can't be taught to take

Not losing anything but coming this close to getting scammed can feel very embarrassing. Thank you for putting this up to warn others. I can tell from the intro that you still feel duped. Yeah, it seems obvious in retrospect, but it really

+1 for the YouTube channel. The Code Report is a fun watch as well.

I’m always blown away by the images Midjourney is creating: https://www.midjourney.com/showcase/ . I think there is some skill in creating these, but the output can be really amazing and it’s constantly getting better.

Yes, creating art itself will have a lower barrier to entry, just like learning to code in Python has a lower barrier to entry than Assembly. But any software engineer will tell you that most of the challenges don’t come from writing lines

I’m convinced AI art is going to be a boon for artists. People always assume that the demand for something will remain static as its production grows and the producers become more productive. But as the cost of something falls, people consu

Yes, this is not a real story. Pure speculation. No real sources. IMO as a Google employee, I don’t see layoffs happening. The company has started hiring again. My coworkers are flooded with interviews. We’re still having holiday parties an

Yeah, there really wasn’t much global competition either. So we have much larger companies competing all over the world against other huge companies.

I don’t know how long it would take to figure out which half of a company to fire, but my guess is that it’s longer than one week.

Wouldn’t labor productivity be impacted by really low unemployment and a low real minimum wage? That should mean lots of people who would not otherwise be part of the labor market are getting low wage/low productivity jobs. So in an ag

These kinds of visualizations give you the impression that LEO is much more crowded than it actually is.
