Scams happen everywhere, sure, but I point at the difference in scale. Banks don’t rug pull their certificates of deposit. And there’s the lack of recourse with crypto, something I don’t worry about with banks because of regulation and ins

Disgraceful elder abuse. A 31 year age difference and Tyson wearing a knee brace. In his prime Tyson would have finished in the first round and you’d need a mop to get Jake Paul out of the ring.

lol. good one. If you meant this seriously, do you know about the thousands of crypto scams, rug pulls, ponzi schemes, frauds in that space? Stripe occasionally screwing up looks like very small potatoes by comparison. I’ve read quite a few

That anyone has to defend using Twitter/X tells most of the story. It comes across like someone defending smoking cigarettes or driving a monster truck. Impressive display of OCD in any case.

Alphabet/Google has increased its revenues year over year, and the stock price has increased since 2023, so maybe they haven't really missed anything. Perhaps AI doesn't present any real opportunities beyond selling the shove

I can get continuous and mostly useless "help and suggestions" from my children or parents. I don't consider that helpful in terms of getting my work done. If LLMs could do what you describe then maybe they would get more tra

I look forward to the inevitable collision of Trump and Musk, two giant narcissistic egos who can't share the spotlight. Like two black holes colliding. If Musk had the "high IQ" he says he has he can look at Trump's his

You should consult with a tax attorney, and maybe an immigration attorney. Working without authorization on an F1 visa seems like asking for a lot of trouble, especially in the current political climate. I don't think it comes down to

Most people in the broad sense don't use AI at all, at least not willingly. From your article I think "most people" in this context actually refers to a very small number of your colleagues and people you have shown your work

Will Rogers said "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." I can't think of any substitute for experience. You can read and study what you call concepts and patterns, just like you can

This seems like the opposite of a meaningful relationship . A bot cannot offer emotional support, or share experiences. You've made yet another simulated friend, a high-tech version of the talking doll little kids have pretend relatio

I make a habit of talking to at least one stranger every day. I have met quite a few people who interested me that way. “Interesting” doesn’t describe a property of people. It describes how you react to and feel about them.

Curiosity, career flexibility, and necessity from four decades in the business. I think of over-specialized and narrow skills as fragile, and broader more generalized skills as anti-fragile.

Maybe because C came along at about the same time. I learned Pascal in the ‘70s, then discovered C. Pascal seemed limited and verbose compared to C at the time.

By a wide margin: diapers. Little cloths for wiping up spit and drool a close second, though if you use cloth diapers they can catch the mess at both ends. Car seat required, I always got the higher-end models with the best safety ratings.
