Are you really going to call someone a shill? I’d argue that you’re why the internet is dying - a million options and you had to choose the most offensive?

We’ve reached a point where I can no longer distinguish between people without experience and people repeating the talking points they’re told to repeat. That’s a major loss. However, talent is a very small part of shipping a project. How t

Apple offered a free case to make the problem go away. My iPhone just had trouble typing Apple and free in the same sentence.

No, it’s a debunk. ChatGPT-4 scored in the 48th percentile (15th percentile in essays) amongst individuals that passed the bar exam. That’s very poor performance.

Attorney-client privilege has limits. For obvious reasons I haven’t read any affidavits associated with the warrant, but it sure sounds like this would fall outside the bounds of attorney-client privilege.

Serious question. Why should someone have more privacy in a software system than they do within their home?

It never ceases to amaze me when startup founders claim that every problem is the same. Some use cases (like parsing text out of PDF) can’t be distilled down to a prompt.

This is theft. Stealing is illegal. Giving a blueprint for how you stole is the icing on the prosecutorial cake because you can’t claim lack of knowledge if you create a conspiracy to enable the theft. This may be the dumbest write up I hav

In your first paragraph, you talk about general contractors and construction. In the construction industry, general contractors have access to commercial general liability insurance; CGL is required for most bids. There’s nothing quite like

There’s something odd about this story. Not naming companies is weird - this happened before GDPR which means it happened a minimum of nine years ago. There were no lawyers involved at any point, not even before signing amendments with a co

Can you point out where it ‘infers’ a causal relationship? The article as posted only makes the point that the percentage of dead people with THC in their system has remained static despite legalization.

In my country, the concept is that your data is private until an investigator can convince a judge to provide a warrant. The judge theoretically serves the role of the person’s privacy advocate. Once a warrant is provided, specific items in

That wasn’t the thought exercise. Of course third party data can be accessed by a subpoena. The thought exercise is about digital hygiene and being careful with what you feed the databases.

I read some of the supporting documents, namely the entire prompt that created the chat log and many pages of the chat transcript and with respect to the researcher, this isn’t a very good test. John only uses the generative AI for pseudo-t

There is nothing remotely moderate about saying “advertising is a cancer”. It removes a massive industry from relevance, and condemns a whole lot of performance artists to unemployment. Advertising creates space for artists and sponsored pe

The game has changed dramatically since the 1970s. My favourite example is from 1979. In 1979, Phil Niekro lead the major leagues with 342 innings pitched. In 2025, Logan Webb lead the majors with 207 innings pitched. Modern pitchers throw

If you’re going to be pedantic, don’t rely on a glossary. 5.10 (g) specifically mentions both starting and substitute pitchers. It’s truly a shame that I had to mention this because it adds nothing to the conversation.

This is why I didn’t keep my child away from ads. Kids have extremely plastic brains and I wanted to get that neural plasticity to protect my kid for the future. The ad industry spends more money figuring kids out than the education industr

It’s funny that instead of making points or adding data, you just repeat the same slogan and act like a victim. Many of us have tried to listen for a long time but we have never found any intellectual meat on the slogans. It’s boring.

I could prove you wrong, but you don’t seem very open to it and I can’t under why you had to brag about how fancy your office is, so I’m not going to get started. But I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

The concept of ‘moat’ comes out of marketing - it was a concept in marketing for decades before Warren Buffett coined the term economic moat. Brand moat had been part of marketing for years and is a fully recognized and researched concept.

It’s interesting that you say there’s no point in being pedantic but this entire boring subthread started because you were pedantic about punctuation. A character really doesn’t matter.
