Which is why government will need to foot the bill as a strategic priority. No one is saying that it is something that should interest private sector investors. Obviously on a spreadsheet it has no chance of comparing favorably against slap

Sounds pretty much the same to me.

Nah. It was more like one year away. But one year away for the past 7 years.

No. That's not how it works. It's contraindication. So you're in a race to the bottom in a busy hospital or clinic. Where people throw group A in a line to look at what the AI says, and doctors and nurses actually look at peo

Isn't it kind of clear that it would have to be that the data they chose was influenced somehow by bias? Machines don't spontaneously do this stuff. But the humans that train the machines definitely do it all the time. Mostly with

Mmmm... You don't work in healthcare do you? I think it would be extremely bad if people found out that, um, "other already disliked/scapegoated people", get actual doctors and nurses working on them, but "people li

I know this is little comfort to foreign born or immigrants, but we actually have been doing that to our own citizens forever. We just expanded the practice to border enforcement so foreign born and immigrants are now being caught up in the

You're all out in no man's land in any case. Blue states don't produce as much food because they don't have to. As soon as they would have to, they could. They'd take a bit of a hit on the price, but that's abo

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not? So this response is only in the case that it is a serious question. Please ignore if I've misapprehended the sarcasm. Based on what I read, the minimum would be aiding and abettin

Pretty sure in Brooklyn, and other NYC boroughs, that is more of a cultural thing rather than a "try to create a sense of neighborliness" thing. As a cultural thing, that type of community behavior has likely been going on for mos

I hope this commenter is being facetious. How do you read that post and have the first thing in your head be, "Hmm? How can I monetize this?"

I live in Wisconsin. Let me tell you, it's not so normal here. I understand there's a lot going on with poverty, and opioid epidemics, and other menaces out here in flyover country. But man, it'd be nice if we could all at le

Hmm. Why is anyone talking about gene modification then? Serious question. Why not just get rid of mosquitos? If you can't just get rid of them, it's unlikely that you can modify the genes of all of them. If you can introduce some

That you are comparing Rickover's nuke program to Tesla and SpaceX kind of illustrates the cultural gap. Anyone at SpaceX ever get jailed for whatever reason his/her boss dreamed up off hand? Any analog to Skipjack at Tesla? Think

Um. I don't know how many people on HN have served and heard of Rickover? But I'm pretty sure most people on HN could not function in a Rickover style management context. It gets things done, but it's not terribly polite abou

I think they mean 80k total for all 4 or 5 years. That seems reasonable to me for a 4 year degree from one of any of the 50 public flagships. (I assume that's what they're talking about.)

Yep. In the US, we kind of worked ourselves into a box. More hostile action from Trump will only deepen European resolve. I don't understand what we were thinking? There's like 600 million people in Europe. All of whom were perfec

This. These are the kinds of hypocrisies that I'm talking about when I say that American companies from Amazon to Tesla are also responsible for the worsening fracture between the US and EU. Trump and Vance should not escape responsibi

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Yeah. I think regulations of that nature may be coming. I think in the US, we've put ourselves in a really bad spot. Most will likely blame Trump/Vance, and they definitely deserve their share. But the American tech industry has b

by bilbo0s 2y ago
At this point, weakening any American tech company really is a matter of data sovereignty for Europe. That may not be the main reason all this started, but I think recent months have underscored Europe's need, and supercharged Europe&#

What's most interesting here is that the promoted solutions are untested. We won't know how well IRA/401k etc works until we get a couple of generations under our belt who use that system instead of pensions. So, unfortunatel

meh. I wouldn't confuse plaintiffs with attorneys in class action cases. Class action settlements are generally attorney paydays, rarely class member paydays. That goes for everything from industrial pollution settlements to discrimina

Well, squeeky wheel gets the oil. The bigger issue really is that Google should start reviews of a lot of managerial decisions in this regard. If you've got courts agreeing with plaintiffs, then these people you've been hiring are

Every time you do this you'd get a substantially different picture This is actually a bad example. It's too easy for an IP attorney to bring in an expert witness,(read: physicist), and blow it out of the water in a courtroom. I
