I think it’s less the voice and more about how they went about it. They were apparently in negotiations with her and they fell apart. Then they tried to resume negotiations with her two days before the new model launched. If it was just an

I find this disingenuous. You explain how you verify that the employees work for big tech on your FAQ. It would be trivial for companies of this size to go backwards. I’m sure your motives were good, but I’d urge you to think this through.

This is called freedom. If you have difficulty with others expressing their freedom, you don’t believe in it. And I say that as someone who thinks that anti abortion protesters are among the stupidest fucking people in North America.

Would padding your estimates provide some temporary relief while you find something new? You don’t have to do a +1 and 1 (ie - if you think it will take one week say it will take two months). But if you think it will take one week, what if

Why have you let it go for so long? This isn’t a new issue and it’s been going on for a long time. What does the CTO have? There has to be something because otherwise there’s no reason this should have festered for so long. Fundamentally, y

I’m on Lowes website right now. Can you point out an ad? Because I don’t see any. And why do you think that companies can’t inject advertising into their LLMs? It’s easy to do and with a long enough customer relationship, it gets very power

The content started decent and then turned into pure marketing fluff.

If you’re interested in going down one heck of a Saturday night rabbit hole, you should read into some of the water issues downstream of Alberta’s tar sands. The short version is that it takes 2.4 barrels of fresh water to get one barrel of

My kid is currently eight. We have been making slime together (and having a great time) since she was four. In the beginning, it was about showing her how different recipes lead to different textures. Now, she measures everything and we tal

The plane had a cargo pack and a Robertson STOL. Cargo packs are essentially for bush planes and as an example, the 1975 Skywagon’s owners manual even had one diagrammed. Robertson STOL’s are extremely common in Northern Canada to the point

Do you have enough military experience to say this? Or are you just guessing? I’ll guarantee that it’s the latter.

That’s all true. But there’s still precisely zero reason to gloat after the fact.

It would be excellent in stage design as well. I can also picture touring bands buying up three or four of these things to hide (obscure might be a better word) their kluges during setup.

What’s with the sudden turn to “haha everyone was wrong in the past” on here? There’s nothing wrong with being wrong. What’s the point?

If we had a strong professional media, you could possibly pitch it as proactive training for high risk customers. Unfortunately, the quality of journalism has declined dramatically over the next decade. Now, it’s a coin toss whether you cou

You really don’t understand economics but define ‘few years’ and I’ll take the bet. I’d define few as “less than five”. Of course, this is the internet and rational people don’t talk like this.

Not only is this way beyond the topic. But you don’t know who Dave Plummer is, do you?

That link is an excellent summary! It’s quite interesting because we can look back in time and find some excellent people who sounded the alarm bells. They all got trounced. I think if we can take any solace, it’s that Larry Summers did not

TARP was a decision made in a remarkably short time while the global financial system was burning. And it had to be made while the United States was facing a systemic wide crisis. Moreover some of the major banks did not want the money. Som

You’ve gotten some great advice! Running long distances works really well for me. There’s a neat thing about running. Humans are really good at it provided we can focus on what we’re doing and maintain a pace. Focus is hard in the modern wo

I don’t understand your point, but yes, aspects of the US financial industry were improved as a result of the 2008 crisis. That happened because of roughly two years of work by congressional and senate oversight committees. Other things (ie

A large number of mainstream economists believe that without TARP the entire global banking system would have collapsed, credit would have dried up and a depression would have been long lasting. This is one of those situations where there

The world has changed in odd ways. Ten or twenty years ago, this would seem like very ambitious drug addicts. Today, there’s a real chance that this will turn out to be a prank for Internet cred. And as strange or unlikely as that sounds, a

Why did you let the conversation drift around to “if you were making big bucks why are you cooking for us now”? That’s a remarkably rude thing to ask for absolutely no reason other than ego.
