I wonder how that's calculated. The traditional measure is ^VIX, which not very high at all right now.

The connection isn't worth hundreds of millions unless you're getting hundreds of millions over the normal market channels. This means that you must be getting a better price not available through the normal market. The only reaso

To get to the level of hundreds of millions in value over the standard process, would indicate a breech of shareholder responsibility to make the best returns instead of cutting a deal for someone you know. This can potentially undermine ma

"Honestly, some networking is actually just that good." Only if we include corruption. Any deal that takes special consider is arguably corrupt.

I think you have it backwards - light is a term used for specific bands of the EM spectrum. Nobody is calling their FM radio waves light emissions. Unless this is a naming collison with the already established x-rays.

Start with the test files. There's no way the AI had meaningful and working test cases. Pop a comment on each test file about missing tests or expanding them. That will force the dev to review their own code and make substantial change

I had the wrong terminology. Your sibling comment explains it better.

"but technological transitions happen regularly" Yes, and that doesn't refute that people will vote to protect their jobs. If they were offered alternatives, then maybe it would gain more traction in those areas. Eg you can&#

I think that's at the OS level. I think there are things that could be done through the firmware level.

This doesn't make sense. If you're worried about the government targeting you, then what is the alternative... less hardened phones? At least Graphene will protect you better than the stock OS. If you're really that concerned

"The treatment of fossil fuels and renewables fits: Block the obviously more economical and better long-term solution in order to shovel money toward the entrenched wealthy." This is also voter/public appeasement. There are m

Because most people need money now or now-ish. Building, deploying, marketing, and gaining market share take a lot of time and aren't even guaranteed. You need someone to pay the team until you have 1 million+ in revenue per year to co

"If the tool is used wrong most of the time, it's at least partially to blame." Only if there were other tools that didn't fall victim to the same business incentives, but they all do. I've had PMs that find a balan

"I mean if something doesn't ever work in real life then its not good." Are you talking about Agile, Waterfall, or project management in general? I've seen Agile work just fine. I've also seen it fail miserably. I&#

That's not really Agile's fault. That's PMs overcommitting the team. Those bad PMs would also make unrealistic waterfall schedules.

I'm planning to build some variation of a greenhouse controller for a mini seed starting greenhouse.

It makes perfect sense if we approach it from the stance that parents and peers matter more than the teachers. Anecdotally, kids who have parents who give a crap and peers who share similar goals (seek good grades, entrance to college, not

It's not whataboutism because I'm not using it to undermine the argument. It's a legitimate question to gauge the potential impact of an AI misrepresenting news. Assessing impact is part of determining corrective action and p

"AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time" How does that compare to the number for reporters? I feel like half the time I read or hear a report on a subject I know the reporter misrepresented something.

Aw man, I thought this was going to be audio sensor that logs you in with a secret physical knocking pattern (like on a door or desk).

You might need to do some more research. Battery replacement generally runs $15k-$20k. Engine replacement generally runs $5k-$10k. Batteries are estimated to last 10-20 years while the average age of cars in the US is about 14 years - close

It's extremely unlikely the land in question (paved lots and abandoned buildings) is agricultural. "finds that vacant lots with vegetation can help cool surrounding areas. Abandoned buildings and paved lots do the opposite"

by giantg2 1y ago
Of course they depreciate faster - battery life declines much faster than engine life (at least by age) and battery replacement (as well as other maintenance) is significantly more expensive.
