I think the comment was that if they buy a vacuum and don’t like it, they return it and buy a different one. So if that happens 20% of the time, that next month has a much higher chance of buying “another vacuum” than the average month. Als

I’d say approximately nobody believed NFTs had any value or invested any money. AI seems quite different.

Knowledge creation doesn’t seem hard enough. I think an a/b testing service that optimizes based on how users respond is doing science, and knowledge creation. I feel like compressing knowledge and being able to answer questions about

He didn’t take equity in OpenAi. Does that suggest altruism?

But how specifically should they be treated differently? For ex, I don’t think police should ever have the right to privacy while on duty. Turning off body or security cameras should be a crime for them, and anything that happens after shou

I sort of see their side. First you have to put aside whether they should have been there, and whether they committed crimes while on his property. Basically start by assuming the police in this situation are unsympathetic criminals. What r

When 2 parents have a child, where does that new consciousness come from? When someone dies where does the consciousness go? I don’t think there’s any law of conservation of consciousness.

It seems like this would work better combined with a jail-break. It’s being way too polite. Position A is basically treating this a completely reasonable suggestion that might have some downsides. It should be treating it as entirely unreas

This is all getting so meta. This particular article is “fake news”, or at least a false headline. The bot doesn’t “lose its mind”. It doesn’t agree the linked article is true, presumably because it was setup with contradictory beliefs. So

Running with the analogy.. We’re used to using tools that help us find needles in the haystack. A rake, a bright light, a metal detector. Now someone sold us a machine that turns hay into needles. They’re not quite as good, but they’re de

Are browser extensions safe? My understanding is they generally get access to everything you browse, and are too big a security risk for a work machine. Is it as bad as I think?

I’m not familiar with Irish pensions, but in general if the benefit has a vesting schedule that means you earn it over time. If you leave the company for any reason you get to keep the part that’s vested, and not the remaining unvested par

Blame doesn’t have to be zero sum. This seems to be 100% the fault of Tesla for selling unsafe equipment. Some amount of blame for the Tesla driver. 0% blame for the car that got cut off and hit the Tesla. And 100% blame for every car behin

I’d love to see their data on how often iPads are used horizontally vs vertical or somewhere in between. I think there are lots of ways to hold an iPad or laptop where your hand rests near the screen, at least for scrolling.

On the one hand, most programmers are writing at a higher level, and probably have no ability to fix or even work around a date rollover issue. On the other hand, a few fixes at lower levels will correct it for everyone above them.

I thought all employee equity was converted to cash grants. Are they still giving equity in the chance that it goes public again someday? Other than a good salary, where’s the financial upside?
