Well I for one am shocked that these allegations of psychological abuse would have led to such a cunning and effective response from Sam after the firing.

It's fascinating how we've come to this, where we've let our society be influenced so profoundly by social media platforms and the men who run them. It's bad and I hope we can eventually diffuse the power that's bee

Are there methods to "summarize what they've learned" and then replace the context window with the shorter version? This seems like pretty much what we do as humans anyway... we need to encode our experiences into stories to

Thank you for saying it. Undetonated ordinance is the best analogy I have ever heard.

I cant read the article, but I am really curious how it makes a case that this speech was anything other than a mistake and a political disaster. Americans do not react well to being scolded by their leaders.

I am not part of this parent community you speak of, and I'm definitely a parent. It's complicated. Some kids gravitate to screens, for reasons good and bad. Some parents are more permissive with screen time, but permissiveness ov

They must have tried hooking Alexa up to LLMs with Whisper-like speech recognition. I can only imagine the cost projections of rolling that out were astronomical. Plus, everyone that uses Alexa daily counts on it acting in the same dumb way

Been a Unity developer for years. Was shocked and dismayed by the runtime fee announcement debacle. Was pleased at the result with JR leaving. The new CEO seems okay so far. I'd initially though of him as a hatchet man who will let the

This makes so much sense that it's nearly indefensible that this isn't how it is.

Yeah being an actual contractor/consultant should feel GOOD. You should not be married to a single company for too long. You should have a sense of freedom. There should be a simple test that if a person is working at only one client f

Apple should make a mode for iPhones that lets parents lock down any and every feature on their kids phones/watches. If they would do that, they'd sell a lot more phones to a lot younger customers. But to answer the question, in t

It's almost entirely because entrenched interests (realtors, NAR) sabotage those efforts. The market has never had a chance to support any other approaches.

Yes it's this belief that employed=free healthcare which holds back a lot of progress.

Yes I've had various flavors of ACA insurance for the last 9 years. Family of 4. Most of the time you can get cost reductions via tax credits, unless your income is quite high. However you may live in a state which is hostile to the AC

This is one of the things I love about America. Each state can run their own experiments and everyone else can watch. We don't have to wonder what would happen now.

Are you sure you can’t just buy insurance through the ACA? Many people in the US seem to still think that they will be way more screwed if they leave their job than they actually would be.

Our problems are different, you're right. What you're describing is probably closer to what publicly funded schools in the US have become, in terms of deviation from base expectations. But no, there is almost no such thing as a do

Stop drinking a lot of fruit juice. We are outsmarting nature's packaging by doing that. Eat the whole fruit and the fiber comes along with it.

On Writing by Stephen King is one of the best books about the craft of not only writing, but any solo creative endeavor. It is also immensely entertaining and dark. The Audiobook is read by the author and he does a great job.

I pay $73 a month to watch 1 Liverpool game a week (max), 1 Buffalo Bills game per week (maybe), and a smattering of NBA games. I'd so much rather just give the money directly to the teams and/or leagues.

At some point I hope Google forces the issue and stops paying, just to see what happens. It’s not like if Bing defaults on iPhone then all of a sudden everyone will like Bing.

This is fantastic news. Realtors have had their hands in the cookie jar for too long. Now that information is so much more accessible because of the internet, realtors simply are not needed. Anyone can buy or sell a house. That said, I don&
