Why do you think that 10x increase in cancer researchers would not help find the cure faster? Do you think there is one supergenius destined to find the solution and he is already working on it? 10x researches can try out 10x approaches or

I would like to see why Overwatch is so expensive. They don’t have some cutting-edge tech, it could have been a Quake or Half-Life mod and have the same exact gameplay and marginally worse graphics. Ok, there is the networking and matchmaki

Why would influential people leave as a result of such scandals? They built that culture and will benefit from its proliferation.

$8k deductible might be reasonable if $250k bills are the norm. It is not spoken out loud a lot (more during COVID), but the people who are against universal healthcare are likely pro high birth rate and survival of the fittest (unless they

I don’t know how (voice commands to “AI” chatbots, maybe), but I expect it to get worse. At least in the mainstream.

Does it need to be 50 million lines of code? When you design with security in mind you might have to prune old code and drop some risky optimizations, probably drop some features. Using a higher-level language might help reduce the line cou

You realize the reason being that Facebook users jump from “virus was leaked from a lab in China” to beating up Chinese-looking people a bit too eagerly. This is why I’m not that much concerned about Facebook rules in this case. Getting exp

Bumping the timer spreed is not the creative part, creative part was zeroing on the issue. For software guys used to reliable hardware and no prior knowledge how to debug hardware bugs this is hell.

SCIgen's "Rooter" was accepted in 2005. I think the next step would be submitting an array of bogus articles citing each other to achieve an impressive h-index. Maybe adding AI-generated articles to the batches would be one o
