If we know, why would a lot of us be shocked? Seems contradictory. That's probably too much a troll so while I get that you are grinding your anti-capitalism axe, you're also seeding hopelessness and trapped falsely fatalistic th

Here in stupid town we stab ourselves with knives. It hurts and we get infections but everybody does it. We don't even remember why we do it any more but we do so you have to as well. The real problem is the amount of value that gets

Yet? Maybe they are but embedding adds or paid signal amplification/probability tweaking has already been floated on the market and may already be a product.

I am more of a "huh, interesting demo, I'm gonna check in on it later" sayer than a naysayer. My biggest reason, with coding, is that I already, before AI, struggled to deal with too many distractions from my coding and too

Sorry, you're right. Thank you for pointing that. I'm unfortunately past the edit window.

When you control what work means you can live much more cheaply. Unless you love the high COL areas and high burn lifestyle, it might be time to work on something more personally and emotionally worthwhile.

Microsoft took a pause in some areas for a moment but has been a brutal dog eat dog environment for a long time and never really stopped. I tried to get the job there once and got back channel on why I was denied: the interviewer didn&#x27

Actually, I summarized the whole bunch which included your case. Note, for example, that the range starts with $100. I completely agree that the offers of credit monitoring are completely insufficient. Mixing that with feelings about the

Hah. Prescription for CEO AI psychosis: buy more AI, invest more time in AI, this naysayer says you can make 100x organizations!

I avoid LLMs but wasn't concerned with case law as much as a specific law on the books, whether used or not. A peer comment offered mishandling of mail not addressed to you.

Good example. I believe the correct behavior is to write "Not at this address" rather than "Return to sender" these days

I was aware of the de facto state but not the book, thank you for sharing that. Still, I was hoping for examples.

I agree that holding only the concrete implementers responsible would be inappropriate. However, I don't believe that distinction is made. One says "I am building a house" even if they are completely contracting the job out

Penalties are $100-$50,000 per violation (i.e. per leak for each person), up to $1.5 million per year[0]. If in the US (I'm assuming given you mention your health insurance) you can report it to your state insurance commissioner which

The tone on this could be improved. They literally answered your question "What lead?" and you seem dismissive.

Entirely fair. I have thus far avoided that problem. Not always engineering's choice.

The impacts are usually partial. For example, scaling is impacted but everything already deployed contributes to work up to capacity. Or, you can't change configuration but the previous configuration works as configured. Often surpr

You might find a spectrum to be more useful framing than a binary. Asking when does consciousness seem more present? Are there different aspects of consciousness that can individually be validated as apparent or not? That sort of thing.

You might consider whether this is a little too reductive. After all the values of the stock, bonds, and mutual funds are directly related to the profits and capital flows through and health of the economy. The economy is complicated and th

I wrote a little PHP about 25 years ago and hated it, dropped it like a rock as soon as it wasn't my job. Before that basic, assembly, c, and c++. Then scheme, C#, Java, prolog, and others too minor to mention before I started using

Nope, they've been targeting credentials so they can deploy whatever they like into prod. They prefer the build machine with it's broader rights than the individual dev boxes.
