Yeah, remote work for US companies for US non-geocoded salary is the way to go for Europeans. Imagine getting 900k TC as an E7 at FB Menlo Park vs 233GBP TC (150k base) as an E7 at FB London, with approximately the same living expenses. The

Why restrict oneself to RL though? One could potentially escape Markov curse (no memory) with this one.

This must certainly be a joke, right?!

Can't wait to get W11 accounts banned for the next election cycle if somebody views/read/stores "committee-unapproved" stuff.

Aren't most of those add-ons depending on real-debrid now, meaning a $5/month subscription? Why not Netflix then?

Now you'll have UI elements from Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 and Android all in a single operating system! Can't wait for the Android Settings integration to Control Panel next

G's results are terrible for over 5 years and now they are reaching uselessness levels of Altavista. No G, I didn't want to search for what you suggested, really not.

Did you even read what I wrote or was this just a cheap reaction from minimal pattern matching? One could describe state of hellhole as something to avoid and help others to escape it/change it. In your case you went with the "pre

I don't think it's defeatist at all - it's realistic, I am not putting on rosy glasses but see the reality as it is. Even the people you saw living happily at the moment are in a high risk of experiencing a massive trauma tha

I traveled around the world and spent some time in Brazil. Look e.g. at Rio de Janeiro - a small "city" with a few luxurious somewhat safe neighborhoods like Ipanema and Gavea, then a bit more seedy Copacabana, then a Maputo-style

I'd say that's how childhood looks like for the majority of people on this planet outside of the first-world protective umbrella. Imagine growing up in war-torn Africa, drug-ridden slums of South America or fanatical Middle East w

I absolutely hate that if I open control panel, I can only focus on a single thing instead of having multiple windows open. My 64-core PC is not a smartphone, thank you very much!

A little off-topic - does anyone know why Steam takes screenshots of VR content played in a headset? I've noticed multiple times that Steam's Screen Capture process ended up hanging with HP Reverb G2 and am wondering why do they n

Why not the opposite? "Hey, I've seen everything!" vs "Hey, that's what I was told on TV!"

No, it's more like: "Hey Mike, I understand you are hiring Joe, though because of our good relationship, I'd like to tell you why exactly is Joe leaving. Well, we didn't want to cause an uproar in the company, but Joe ca

"It's best for the company" marks the time when the relationship with your boss jumped the shark and never recovers.

Yeah, scientism used to be a huge problem at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century, and we seem to be there again.

Yeah, but how precise it is? Even the old WW2-style radars can see all stealth planes, but can't really guide a missile towards them. There was also Czechoslovak Tamara radar in the '80s that was supposed to detect them as well. A

Typically a vaccine is aborted if it kills just a single person during its clinical trial.

I am eagerly awaiting my vaccine, however we are all alpha/beta testers. A real concern is about safety of those vaccines as typically they require ~3 years of testing and a single fatality aborts their use. Would you give alpha versio

RL is still pretty dumb and for that extremely computationally demanding. Markov chains are like the most trivial stochastic models and I can't believe that's all it takes to get AGI. I also often wonder whether the "Deep&quo

The point was that cannabis used to be the "youth rebel" drug of choice making teenagers feel they crossed the boundaries of society and were therefore cool. Now you legalize it, what are teens going to do? Krokodil to see how the
