"Fake it until you make it" - very human behavior indeed. It's unfair to hold the AI to a bar we don't apply to ourselves.

My best buddy works at Google. We talk a lot. People are in fear due to ChatGPT and the lack of a cohesive plan to get Google to be competitive. Putting lots of hours on a failed strategy makes no sense, and as long as Sundar is leading the

Sundar Pichai's answers to this point have been knee jerk and uncoordinated. Under the current leadership, Google won't have the ability to leverage its strengths. The fall could be quick, which would be a shame considering Google

Property values is just one part of the problem. A lot of the xenophobia is also due these migrants bringing their political opinions (and votes) with them.

If he was any good at predictions, he would own a private investment bank instead of running a show telling everyone his investment secrets.

Imagine creating a single stereotype for everybody in the US, calling us "Americans" and assuming we have a single set of values and opinions - now contrast it with the reality of our polarizing politics where people have wildly d

Proving that was impossible during Covid because, well, you couldn't control for Covid and the lockdowns! Normal remote work outside of Covid is nothing like remote work with kids screaming around the house (while homeschooling them),

Looks will always help - and I'm also literally saying that with my argument by stating that I had a harder time than my buddies because of average looks. I'm also saying that you can very significantly tilt the odds on your f

I suppose that there is no objective way to measure that, and we won't arrive at a conclusion by just talking about it. Maybe I could go use one of those sites where you post a picture and people rate you? You are right that I'm p

I'm in my 40s. Well, I'm not saying I'm unattractive, just that I won't stand out in a crowd. I'm the average guy. I'm healthy, not overweight, I shave regularly and wear Tommy Hilfiger instead of Target (altho

Yeah, I think that's the most likely reason. Although it's always possible to catch up after school in a late bloomer sense.

It can mean many things, but it will generally eventually boil down to some sort of sexual relation at some point in the future, not necessarily in the context of, but also not excluding, a relationship. There could be other possible outco

True, but what I'm saying is that the same overall approach - at least in my case - worked well in the US, even though things were harder at first (some tweaks were needed indeed). I bet things would be different in India or Saudi Arab

I grew up in Latin America but now I'm married to an American woman and thus out of the "pool". I hang out with coworkers still in their 20s and I'm blown away by how their teens and 20s differed from mine. When I was si

Has this person ever lived in the US? I had to take a pretty demanding law test with a 90% passing grade, a parking test and a street driving test when I got my US driving license.

And I'll add my own anecdote: the top performers on the 100+ software engineer org I work in are either fully remote or mostly remote. Losing our fully remote people would be catastrophic to the team. Collaboration with them is extreme

Pichai makes over 100M per year. I think we can expect him to deliver a presentation on a tight schedule, otherwise how is he special?

Sundar Pichai is still busy taking full responsibility for the layoffs.

Edge has that too between Edge Windows and Edge Android... I know it because I use it.

I agree with this as a hiring manager who has reviewed hundreds of resumes in the past. I'm not going to say that I wouldn't hire someone who had been laid off (good people get laid off too due to bad luck), it's a data point

I'd leave ASAP if I got a 10% pay cut so the poor performers could remain coasting. Thank you, but no thank you. I'd only consider staying in this scenario if I felt there weren't poor performers around, which is almost never

Taking full responsibility here should have involved firing himself along the 12K. This is the norm in many cultures, resigning (or even killing yourself, sadly) when being responsible for a major failure.

As I get very close to 50, I actually feel smarter. Reasoning on hard things come easier. I can approach problems I found too hard in the past, sometimes even being embarrassed of my previous dumber self. I'm in good health but I do ha

Cities exist to serve people's needs. The 2 existing models are a relic of a low technology past: suburbia with long car commutes to downtown, and dense cities built around facilitating mass daily movement to the office through subway&
