Is there no way to restructure the job to be less onerous to the individual? I don't mean software that automates things, I mean things like more staff, shorter hours, etc. Or is there an irreducible complexity to it that mandates a

Put more succinctly: if it came up with a new proof in math that was then verified, and you went back and said "no, that's wrong" it would immediately present a different proof, denying the validity of its first proof, becaus

This is the most pervasive bait-and-switch when discussing AI: "it's general reasoning." When you ask an LLM "what is 2 + 2?" and it says "2 + 2 = 4", it looks like it's recognizing two numbers and th

You're right, but this has been the explicit design of US foreign policy since WW2: we'll protect you, you rebuild as a bastion of western capitalism. It was all carrot. When the EU tried to set up a small standing armed force in

Are they displaying reasoning, or the outcome of reasoning, leading you to a false conclusion? Personally, I see ChatGPT say "water doesn't freeze at 27 degrees F" and think "how can it possibly do advanced reasoning whe

Keep in mind, for several years their metrics showed a "pivot to video" that was entirely fictional. Never trust what they say about their numbers.

It's pure economics. One large facility is cheaper in fixed cost terms than four smaller facilities. It's also cheaper in variable costs of staffing and other economies of scale like consumables. Lastly, the size of the large sc

You really are missing the experience of what google offered for their first decade, when pagerank seemed revolutionary in terms of filtering out spam and 101-level SEO tricks. We had working search engines for a while, and they were taken

The opposite, I imagine: if before, SEO was gaming page rank, then the new SEO will be gaming the LLMs to promote your site as a best result. It's still SEO'ed crap for clickthrus, it's just a different mode of noise dilutin

The idea that I might have to research the validity of a search result is very offputting. There was a time when I trusted Google to give me the most relevant result, filtering out the linkfarms and spam results. I don't see how AI g

It's also poor fire management practice. California has had 100 years of very aggressive fire suppression that's led to burnable areas being extra-flammable: dry brush, dead material, etc. The wildfires have been much worse the

California has a problem with overly aggressive fire suppression over the last 100 years creating a buildup of extra-flammable burnable areas. Literally, you need to let a certain amount of burning go on, continuously over time, so that th

If you're not using more common organization tools like modules, naming tends to be where organization is implemented: common prefixes, etc. Even if they're carefully done, you still end up with a long list of names, with a lot o

There's degrees of "unrealistic" though, and it's tied to how relatable the Bond is. The old Bonds were a mixture of action hero spy guy and Playboy-style gentleman. Over time, the Playboy lifestyle has aged poorly and

I think the Craig movies are the high point so far of the series for a variety of reasons. They still have the swaggering machismo of Bond, but with more varied and interesting consequences. Bond still gets laid, but it's not treated

OP is saying that the old Bonds (Connery, Lazenby, Moore) were suited to male tastes that haven't changed since, thus the attempt to modernize Bond is misguided at best. What I'm saying is that my (male) tastes have modernized,

Not sure if this is still a valid approach, but on a large Django site with a lot of unit tests, the cumulative setup/teardown/reset cycles was killing us. We found that setting each test to be wrapped with a transaction that was
