If someone had this experience I’d encourage them to look into how police departments across the US consistently fight against any accountability for the cops who perpetuate those relatively few awful encounters. “Most interactions are harm

Governments like all institutions are able to do many things at once. Connecting their water problems to the issues you list is essentially a non sequitur absent specific evidence of either/or policy choices.

I’ve seen incredible sunsets while stressed depressed and worse. Are you saying sunsets cannot be experienced as beautiful on their own?

The post here makes it explicit that that the issue is with posting that video, not capturing it.

So many big shows these days, unfortunately. Not every ticket will be that much, but many of the best seats will.

Definitely not true. You may be seeing a lot, but I am not which means that we can't categorically say that it's "full" of such posts.

People generally use really crude (and incorrect) heuristics when judging others. "He was a family man/good christian/nice to me at work/etc, I don't know how he could have murdered his family!" Mental illness

"Too many" is kind of a hilarious answer. It implies that there's a good or right mix of demographics for mass shooters, and, to Charlie, that mix should include fewer trans people. "Mass shooters should be cisgendered!&

The only natural synergy I can see is with Arc – PMs and product people loved Arc (myself, a designer, included). There's a very interesting play to be made by capitalizing on that market but IDK if that's what Atlassian is thinki

I'm a huge fan of Arc and generally not a fan of TBCNY due to their abandonment of the browser for their AI hype machine, Dia. What's odd about this acquisition is that the move to Dia was (publicly) presented as a move toward the

People have been getting mad at being made to feel bad at work for much longer than “safe space culture” has existed. If someone or some team had more power than you at an organization you for sure will get reprimanded for making them feel

I post this not for you directly, who has made up your mind completely, but for anyone else who might be interested in this question. "Tim Cook, was asked at the annual shareholder meeting by the NCPPR, the conservative finance group,

Apple is a consumer product company. “There’s a lot of money in selling silicon to other companies therefore Apple should have pivoted to selling silicon to other companies” is a weird fantasy-land idea of how businesses work. Idk maybe it’

by drewbeck 1y ago
Whenever people say that Apple is behind on AI, I think about stories like this. Is this the Siri people want? And if it is easy to prevent, why didn't OpenAI? Some companies actually have a lot to lose if these things go off the rails

I don’t think that’s the dominant interpretation of the chicken joke! It’s an anti joke, the surprise is in the mundanity of the punchline.

I’ve vibe coded a few very cool apps for my personal and professional life but every time I do it I’m left wondering: how revolutionary is this? It is _very_ cool and very helpful for me, but bespoke vibecoded apps are never going to replac

by drewbeck 1y ago
Yep. Processes, consistency, support, all of it. Bespoke apps are great in the long tail of one-to-few users but otherwise you actually do want dedicated people working on the tool.

Israel regularly categorises journalists doctors and anybody else they want as “hamas operatives”. Their numbers are meaningless.

The underlying ethos here is “the target must be hit, regardless of the number of civilian casualties,” which is actually evil. “Palantir allowed us to go from 10000 civilian casualties per target hit to 9000” is not some win, it’s a confes

And your post isn’t a ham sandwich. An equally useful and interesting observation.

It depends what you want LLMs for, or what you think they should be for. Imo you’re correct that they’re good enough if you scope your expectations appropriately. The problem is that the LLMs themselves don’t have any concept of their own l

You're missing that this isn't an issue of granularity or specificity; "equal time" is just wrong. If this is "right enough" for you, I'm curious if you tell your bots to "go deeper" on every que

These chips were designed to be SoC/SiPs for consumer hardware. It feels odd to judge them for their suitability in servers.
