The stock market is an expensive addiction. If you read subreddits like r/wsb, you’ll frequently see people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, mortgaging houses, gambling their future on another 0dt option bet. It’s a good thing

I think poor people in the US are against legalization mostly due to the decades of “war on drugs” propaganda or other forms of conservatism (eg religion), not because they’ve seen people close to them being destroyed by drug use

I think this was true a decade ago, where people used social media to talk to each other and actively kept chats with friends, etc. What I’m seeing now is social media got so hyper optimized for engagement that it became a passive consump

Depends on the task, no? Do you have a sense of what kind of task this benchmark includes? Are they more “general” such that random people would fare well or more specialized (ie something a STEM grad studied and isn’t common knowledge)?

this is getting downvoted, but it's not a bad take. Google has proven, over and over, that it's unable to execute on any long running initiative like this - including 3 past botched XR initiatives

that's the kind of attitude that makes otherwise successful apps/content/etc created by stiff engineer minds to never experience any success: "they didn't want it anyway", when people literally didn't _und

this is basic design 101. Well designed content works better than badly designed content. If you want someone to read your page and find the button, the onus of making it readable is on you. And there's plenty of pretty basic technique

I don’t see how that analogy makes any sense. We’re not talking about containers of a known and fixed size here, nor a single technique, nor a single method. Stuff like LLMs using Transformer architectures might have reached a plateau, for

I tried both extensively (have the full FSD package on my Model 3). FSD still feels suicidal in a good day, plain incapable on average. I can’t imagine how someone would compare it to a multi-sensor setup - a single camera can’t match the l

highly depends on your employer and your relationship to them. I've heard of cases of someone getting sued due to _an open source_ they maintained, simply out of pettiness.

you probably hear a lot about the B2C ones because they keep blabbing about it (many of the big "indie hackers" are known to lie and pump their numbers). Most B2B businesses a) don't _need_ consumer street cred and b) don&#x2

Trivia: not sure if you’re aware, but there’s billion dollar companies in all these spaces you claim “nobody cares about”. Every single stock broker in the US trades crypto now. Omniverse earns Nvidia a ton of money, Apple earned a billion

They don’t disclose it, but I’d imagine so. They also admit to being a couple of years late, so they’re accelerating (as per their last earnings call)

Sarcasm aside, this can actually lead to situations where most people just rely on the “savior” and don’t grow to the level they should. Very common problem, and you only realize it after the high performers leaves

That’s great when what they want to do is aligned with what the organization needs. It’s essentially not-managing. The issue is, many times high performers just aren’t aligned with what needs doing, and by not-managing them, inexperienced m

Thoughtworks makes these radars every year. They make sure overhyped & expensive to build trends are portrayed as the new hotness, only to mark them as “avoid” a few years later. I wonder why!

This severely discounts the fact that you’re comparing a model that _knows the average about everything_ to a single human’s capabilit. Also they can do it instantly, instead of having to coordinate many humans over long periods of time. Yo
