Just my (probably unpopular) opinion: True AI (what they are now calling AGI) may never exist. Even the AI models of today aren't far removed from the 'chatbots' of yesterday (more like an evolution rather than revolution)...

The same could apply to economics. I feel like US stats still haven't caught up to actual numbers. For example, the number of six figure jobs. A big problem is that when numbers change quickly, median numbers, or even average numbers,

Until pricing in the US exceeds the rest of the developed world, you won't convince me of this. After all, we are among the top countries that use credit cards.

Except prices in Australia, especially in Tech, are among the highest in developed countries. Like I get what you are saying, but reality, in this case, trumps theory.

As someone who worked for a terrible startup that 'assumed' they would have scalability issues, engineered their entire software stack around solving said issues, and ended up with a worthless codebase that nobody could wrap their

Except you can absolutely obtain 4090s today, while enterprise hardware is (was? haven't looked at the data) recently, which is the exact opposite scenario you mentioned. I'm actually really surprised that you can still buy 4090s

Wouldn't the solution be to use microseconds? Maybe I'm just being naive, I love science, but as I get older it gets hard to keep all the whims of tech in my head.

I get alerts via Apple wallet regarding my Fidelity cash management card. Those do not come from Fidelity's app. (Fidelity has amazing banking products btw, but they underinvest in app development.)

To add something I forgot to say, yes, AI as a concept is here to stay. The current hype surrounding existing companies will not, however.

You have no way of knowing that. Remember, the parent poster is referring to the current ridiculous hype + push of current AI. Current AI models were trained on copyrighted material. Lawsuits are taking place. Many different members of the

I've been toying with the idea of using headless firefox with UBO as a filtering proxy, but nothing has come of it so far. I'm actually focused more on writing a quality search engine that ranks pages based on the amount of anti-u

That is a rather broad question IMO. I do not own a home due a perfect storm of things (tragedies, health issues, etc), despite making north of 200k/year for many years. My rent in my single family home has only ever gone up when we ha

I think it is funny that both were wrong. 2D games are still very much being developed and released today, and many outsell 3D games, even AAA 3D games. People beat Sega up back then, and also now, but I do not think their hardware was that

Gotta disagree. When you know enough about hardware engineering you'll understand that there are very talented folks around the world and if you released a vulnerable piece of hardware, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will notice. You could argue th

Agreed, though disagree about the database class thing. I got a C in my class. I was a DBA at the time and definitely knew my shit. That was kind of the issue. He was teaching by the book with no regard to the database engine used. I was us

From what I have read, the microcode on M-series chips is NOT updatable. If this is the case, tsk tsk Apple.

That is why I am a fan of games that buff your character over repeated runs. If more games did this, the difficulty slider could go away. As an added bonus, there is a satisfaction of getting to the point where you are so overpowered the ga

For all the folks that bash the United States for "reasons" this one gave me a chuckle. Our handling of privacy and data and such is absolute ass, but at least we *can* hide our data from big government with little repercussion in
