This is such a tired, vapid take tho. There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of BCI tech (and Neuralink in particular) but "they will just use it to serve us ads" completely overlooks the potential of this tech.

This is a really meandering piece and the author seemingly never internalized the distinction between the map and the territory. Fiction is not meant to perfectly replicate the entire complexity of the real world - rather it takes a very p

Look up pictures of the Star Wars (Holiday) Special and compare that to furry cons. Next type the words "furry con" in the search bar (google or bing) and see the suggested continuations. Make your own conclusions.

But you're not a novice, you clearly know what you're doing. I'm saying that somebody who's just starting out and doesn't know how to do a proper squat shouldn't be tinkering with their sets too much.

I do feel like most beginner/intermediate lifters with gym access would be better served just picking a standard full-body workout routine (e.g. GZCLP) and sticking to it. Figuring out which muscle groups you'd like to be targetin

While it's far from over, the Facebook-Twitter-Reddit consensus does seem a lot shakier right now. I'm excited to see what the more fractured/federated social space of tomorrow will look like but I also feel like we'll c

Prime Video has hundreds of teams, VQA is a tiny team that owns a very specific QA service. Omitting that distinction from the title absolutely is clickbait.

Companies were rushing to VR/metaverse as well. I think we can just accept that any new shiny piece of tech will attract an army of grifters trying to capitalize on it and those comparisons won't tell you too much about the tech i

Does this actually happen outside of Silicon Valley plotlines? I can't see a SWE interview debrief having enough detail to leak anything useful about a competitor that you wouldn't have gathered through common sense.

I haven't looked into CLR in a long time, but it feels like it has a fraction of JVM's adoption and community size. Microsoft also seems to be prioritizing Typescript and Node internally with its recent moves.

I was recently reminded how in the Harry Potter books random appliances/tools/visual media all have a tiny bit of intelligence and can speak back to you. They typically have no agency and don't appear sentient, but they make
