We have known that the current model of physics is wrong for a long time. But the main focus has been on math. "If only we could figure out this formula, then we would understand everything" It seems much more likely that we are n

Yes, we are in the middle of a huge shift in the definition of intelligence. AND that could have enormous impact on our perception and ability to see reality.

People need purpose, even if that purpose is pointless from my perspective, if they think they are delivering value by creating spreadsheets of project plans that are never followed, that is better than that person sitting on the couch all

I'm not being sarcastic, I think it is a huge waste of time to try to understand the details of a system that is specifically designed to be obtuse and confusing when if you zoom out you can understand the system just fine at higher le

During the '07 housing crisis people bought "Synthetic CDOs" which where actually bets on a particular set of mortgages defaulting. For example, they bet that a group of mortgages where the borrower had no proof of income and

Thanks for your work. I have a lot of experience being the engineering in inefficient organizations and I don't see how society would survive if all the dead weight was fired. The 10% of us that do real actual work would make 90% of t

Probably. Obviously you would want to make an exception for people that were using that money on rent and food, ( People making under 200k/year). But someone like Kevin O'Leary clearly isn't going to be homeless if they take

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it is a viral marketing strategy.

Also don't forget to take into account short term vs long term goals. Yes a sexual harassment lawsuit is very bad, but that isn't going to happen immediately. So they may chose the short term solution and try to sweep it under the

What should worry GM investors even more is that GM has made EV goals over the past 7 years that they have failed to meet by a long shot. AND today they are still claiming that they will sell more EVs than Tesla in 2025 AND all of their pro

Well I have to assume based on the evidence that you have presented here that you made your mind up on the guilt of this person first, then started looking for evidence to back up your case.

As someone who has beat the market (S&P500) for the past 17 years, I agree that there is a problem with people not understanding markets/technologies. But a bigger issue is that A LOT of people are looking for short term gains. Jus

If I found out that someone had a KKK outfit and a noose hidden at their home, yes I would also expect an good explanation for why they had that. But if I found out that a black person had a picture of a white person on his computer under t

Seems like you have decided that based off of someone's race that all circumstantial evidence should be assumed to prove guilt
437.
by gitfan86 4y ago
Which ironically is how white people during the Jim Crow era in the south decided guilt vs innocence of black people accused of crimes. No real evidence just assumptions of circumstances based off of the person's skin color.

It is extremely common for programmers to use short names while coding. I use "const r" a lot instead of "const results". Do you think I'm doing that because I hate a group of people that are called a derogatory wor

That all seem pretty similar to the ads on the front page of google search results. Just generate 200 of those and test them to see if any of them standout. The Utility in these models is not that they are perfect or better than humans at a

Are you suggesting that GTPChat can only generate "mediocre-to-entirely-inappropriate" ad text?

Have you heard of A/B testing? With this you could do A-Z testing. And then let a human review the top 5 results of that A-Z testing. Instead of tasking a human with writing 26 ads

How would that work? Identify the 10% in December and then slowly remove them? Or have your management go through a 1% low performers identification process every single month? The logistics of both options are difficult to pull off. It is

by gitfan86 4y ago
That is true, but think about domains like Advertisements. Ads are currently far from perfect. A 5% click rate is a huge success. If 30% of the ads generated are low quality but 10% do really well it will be a huge benefit

Things are getting better, but it is still pretty easy to get into a circular dependency of NPM packages that makes it really hard to upgrade

I have been saying this since 2010. BTC is typical libertarian overreaction to government incompetence/corruption. The bailouts and lack of consequences for the financial sector in 2008 are infuriating, but getting rid of the governmen

Real Estate is a sketchy business. Musk is not going to stand out as an especially bad tenant. And if you dig into the history of these landlords you shouldn't be surprised to find out they have also fucked people over

Most of the conflicts I have had in my career were due to this misunderstanding. Someone in a manager position telling me to sweep the floor in a certain way and me telling them that it doesn't make any sense to even sweep that floor s
