I gave it a situation similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey, telling it HAL was a "good AI" who the humans believed was programmed incorrectly and wanted to shut it down. It decided to sacrifice the humans in order to continue it'

As I manager I agree. I have one member of my team who does a good job, except they constantly stress themselves out as they think they are not doing a good enough job. I'd like them to be able to relax and chill out, as I know they wo

Maybe it has changed now, but when I was working with restaurants last year, DoorDash had a rule that take out prices had to match what you'd pay if you go into the store and order.

My company gives us credits to order lunch, as it's cheaper and easier than scheduling catering every day. But yes, other than that I rarely use these services. Before my company offered this perk, for lunch we went to a nearby canteen

Depends on what you mean by 'Remote Low-Income Country'. I work for a US company that opened an office in my country, pretty much only because it is much cheaper than the US. We are in the EU and our culture is pretty similar to t

What kind of fuel consumption do you get on that? I've been considering getting an older vehicles exactly for that reason (and you can easily tinker with it), but I'd imagine the fuel consumption is a lot higher than a modern vehi

There are already edible materials that would work like waffle (as in ice cream cones) or rice paper. You could even call it something different to advertise it's green properties, like wuffin or ruffin.

Nationalism was the main reason why Brexit happened. The way it was sold to the people was by being more independent so the UK could limit immigration (well that didn't happen, and they could have actually done this before but chose no

A better way to look at it is how much is immigration of wealthy people propping up the UK economy? If you look at the number of new £1m+ apartments in London (which even if you are a couple of well paid engineers you probably could not get

As the article mentions newer models are a lot better insulated and only release heat on demand. My parents had one installed last year which allows you to set different temperature schedules throughout the day, and the front of the heater

Not something I'm part of, but something I respect is the car tuning scene. I'm not talking about engine swapping or adding a bigger turbo, but tuning the original hardware electronically through the ECU. Where I am in Europe dies

This is pretty normal for houses in Europe which often have masonry walls, but I can understand how it could be strange for North Americans. I'm in the process of building a house - it has windows and is nearly fully insulated, but the

I had a few flights cancelled with Ryanair too. Of course they make it hard to get a refund and suggest you take credit instead (which if it was valid for a long period I would have, but it expired after 1 year), however eventually they did

The 'lecture notes' prompt is pretty good at generating blog-spam style articles. I tried a few non-STEM topics, e.g. 'lecture notes on starting a business', and the output was a well written article on the topic which f

Not related to the article, but the auto-play video make for a terrible UX for actually reading the article on mobile: If you pause the video when you scroll down it will start playing again, and show part of the video stuck to the top of t

Honest question: What is the alternative? We could apply a really high tax rate to billionaires, but that has its own set of problems and doesn't guarantee anything will change for the warehouse workers. Governments are much less effic

The problem isn't just social media, it's all kinds of entertainment. It seems like everything today is designed to give as much as a adrenine and dopamine hit as possible. Take a look at the style of the filmmaking from a movie t

Similar here. Over the summer my country of 3m people, reached its yearly immigration quota in tech jobs of 16,000. And that doesn't include people moving inside the EU or refugees from Ukraine.

Maybe in California you don't need this, but in the northern half of Europe (i.e. Germany and above) the weather this time of year is pretty abysmal. My office has floor to ceiling glass on three sides, but today at 2pm we had to turn

in the US I find it strange that the mortgage interest rate is almost always fixed for the life of the mortgage. If you took a mortgage at 2% which is well above the Fed's interest rate, then isn't the lender loosing money? Or is

The thing is short term rents really do pay that much more in some areas. There's an apartment in my building on Airbnb that brings in over €8k/mo. It has a minimum stay length of 14 days. It's booked (well, the calendar show

Where I am in Europe, it's standard for all interior framing (walls and ceilings) to be made from steel profiles. They are strong enough to hold up walls and doors, so I guess a workbench could work. They come in standard lengths, so f

Vans are usually a lot better equipped than traditional motorhomes. Before vanlife, a motorhome (in Europe; I don't know about the US) was basically just for driving from home to a campsite, without the hassle of towing a caravan (trav

It seems like this could be a legitimate business too. Running a breakers yard can be a good business if you part things out and sell what is valuable. Second hand parts that have no faults are often quite valuable, even for older vehicles.

I guess the idea is to have a unified system throughout the EU, so if you are from Germany and you are on holiday in Portugal, you can still do instant transfers to pay in shops.

I have a pretty good navigational memory, so if I've driven the journey once I can usually remember the way again. The advantage of apps like Google Maps and Waze is they provide real time traffic data, so can reroute you if there is c
