It's a surprisingly unreliable service. It's been great for code management / reviews. But I can't imagine relying on it as the only option for deployments via CD. Imagine needing to deploy an important bug fix or a big

Yet there are thousands of fully remote companies, plenty of startups that were highly successful as remote only and either IPOd or were acquired as fully remote. Including my current company, and many companies we all work with daily. Lots

Slim margins say nothing about competitiveness. You can lose money in uncompetitive or competitive markets. You can have huge margins in competitive ones. Also I don't think the 10.5% profit margin of Mercedes is low - the average for

Markets which require billions of dollars to compete in are not truly competitive. They may be competitive in a regulatory sense, but not in a practical one. And these markets have huge amounts of regulation as well that limits competition

We understand how LLMs and other neural networks work, even if the exact results of it are not obvious without looking very closely at tiny parts of the network. The math involved is undergraduate level math. The answer is always "beca

But you're not stopping in the middle of the street for long periods in confusion because of a common situation. There's levels to this and the self driving cars are not yet at an acceptable level.

Aren't the best self driving cars causing traffic jams in SF because they can't handle everyday tasks? And can any self driving car handle suboptimal environments like snow? Or just unmarked roads? Or... left turns in traffic?

I've been doing this for a while with my car. Removed the speakers. Hid them in an inconvenient location that requires some minor disassembly of the car. I use it all the time to figure out where my car is since my wife and I share and

Are politicians required to accept all messages from all people regardless of content? If a person sends a package of, say, explicit images, is the politician required to accept and review them? Or any letter they receive? Obviously not. Th

It is ironic that they created a bunch of fake users to fake activity, but would now ban anyone else that did the same.

How could they perform this analysis? Does every engineer at Google excel? Is their revenue a permanent hockey stick? If so, the process is working. If not, it's not. But if they have any poor engineers, their process clearly doesn&#x2

The results displayed (when it works) seem to be cards which contain results subsets of similar searches. Which is kind of bizarre. Not displaying websites that match the actual search terms is a radical change in functionality. I assume th

It's not a rebate, it's salary. For a company bringing in 1 million in revenue and paying 1 million in salary, they literally don't have any money in the bank to pay taxes because they haven't profited yet. If they profi

It's not exactly a hard problem to continuously train a model - although it may be costly. You can even train the model based on every interaction it has; but this quickly leads to degradation because users provide it with data that is

The risk of non-delivery exists for these large firms too - see Hertz vs Accenture, for example. Or Indiana vs IBM. In my company, to hire a company like IBM or Accenture we have to propose a plan, which has to be approved by many layers of

This is certifiably untrue. Philadelphia, for example, just had our highest 3 year murder period ever. Additionally, we should really compare this to previous eras, not just the other highest crime periods you could name. We're at trip
