I wouldn’t %100 trust an eye witness account, especially for something so traumatic where an alternate outcome might give them some solace.

I try to explain to people the absolute absurd state of affairs that refined high quality goods are often cheaper from China than it is to import the raw materials. Our financialized economy is dependent on cheep Chinese goods and dodgy acc

The US is gearing up for a China conflict, there is a split between the prep for war with China now or sort out Iran first and then prep for war with China. It’s currently most obvious in the MAGA split but the dems are captured as well. AO

> Doesn't most of our economy feel like a scam? Yeah, it’s an institutionalized scam that’s increasingly dysfunctional and absurd. It’s only cutthroat capitalism for the less well off majority that make up an increasingly small part

Sounds like they were honest about lying, less confusion than lying about lying and helps prevent the unwanted outcome of accidentally succeeding. Not succeeding helps with job security, the problem justifying your job will continue to exis

I like XAML, the whole point of it is tooling support which was undermined when the tools were so buggy for so long. Now that many of the bugs have been fixed and computers are much faster it’s become a really productive UI paradigm for me.

My google fu is failing me but this sounds a bit like Marissa Mayer’s no more small ideas at Yahoo memo. Also if I was a competitor this would let me know just how hard I would have to compete for Intel to give up.

By my observation IQ correlates to anxiety disorders so often people with high IQs tend adopt risk adverse behaviors to minimize that anxiety and that undermines opportunities for success. People with really high IQs tend to end up on the

Certainly expanding the cohort alone is sufficient to cause a drop in average IQ scores - which is exactly what I said. College is no longer a useful proxy for IQ score. I made no claim that college would cause IQ scores to increase and if

I guess I meant locally to the server not the client (edge). But also perhaps a very light model could be run on the edge. I built a porn detection filtering algorithm back in the Random Forest days, it worked well except for the French and

One of the reasons we cant have nice things. CSAM spam filtering is a bit of a moat for larger companies able to manage the costs of moderating it. I would like to see AI moderating of CSAM, perhaps an open weights model that is provided by

College grads average IQ had dropped from 119 in 1939 to 102 in 2022. For many jobs an IQ test would be sufficient to determine expected likelihood for long term success. College still teaches domain expertise but to a larger and less intel

I think people hold on to such hopes due to an aversion to the pain from empathy. The 'bad thing is actually good'. Related to the Just-World-Fallacy. I think this is a very natural human response, a psychological defense mechanis

My reading of the numbers it should be 0.8x staff. I think you’re off by an order of magnitude.

I hear it’s division dependent, but just about every time someone complained about things being toxic at Microsoft they would be told at least it is not Intel.

When I was last in tech research we were prevented from working in new interesting areas as that work was being handed over to the China branch. I think we’re entering the looting stage of empire collapse. A hyper focus on short term gains

It seems like a weird choice, I would expect that person to have quite a bit of power.

I scroll through linked-in and I see a lot of green looking for work tags. Many of these are really strong developers that have been laid off in the last few years. This feels much worse than 2008 and 2008 was bad. At least back then there

Good for you, terrible analogy though

If you socially signal that you’ll buy it and you buy it then the declared preference equals the revealed preference.

If revealed preference truly didn’t care there wouldn’t be a need to mark the produce as home grown.

Perhaps there is some definition of ‘understand’ where that quote is true but it is possible to understand some things without understanding everything.

Not innovating, maintaining high prices, and price-gouging are unstable activities for a monopoly, as in it would open up a void for effective competition. The real anti-competitive actions is that it becomes cost effective to do regulatory

I’ve been on it for years, at a lower dose though, the counter action by the body is probably dose dependent so my theory is lower for longer is more sustainable. I think people get attached to the rapid weight loss, coupled with the high e

It’s mostly random and some people do feel it more than others. It’s a rapidly absorbed peptide suspended in water, it could even be used with a transdermal patch, so it doesn’t matter that much where it gets in or how deep. Best to avoid p

You don’t feel it most of the time, it’s actually random with the sparse placement of nerves. Maybe 1 in 5 still sting a bit.

A few extra important points, the NASA space pen was cancelled due to cost overruns and when they finally purchased the Fisher pens it was at normal retail prices. And grease pencils were an option, though not as good as pens.
