These are actually the same engine underneath, though, aren't they? Just with slightly different prompts? (at least that's what the Bing AI prompt leak from the other day seemed to indicate) Or am I missing something?

The whole point of Section 230 was that we wanted to simultaneously incentivize user-content platforms (so, services that just allowed people to freely express themselves without concerning itself too much about the content) while simultane

Totally this. I moved away from the US many years ago, and having the luxury to go a few months without work and not have to worry about things like health insurance is phenomenal. You can find a new job at your own pace, when you're a

That PT Barnum... it's interesting because it really is a good read, and the whole way through you do feel like he's giving you some kind of good advice (so, if you had purchased it back in the day you don't feel ripped off),

I think you're on to something here... the target audience of this product is the hardcore meat-eaters, hoping they'll just do a drop-in replacement. But I think the actual target should be the people who are meat-eaters consideri

It's a very interesting problem with psychology and the locus of control -- I think, ultimately, it depends on what works for you and solves your current psychological funk at the time. Some people think they control everything about t

I had this issue before -- I spent a long time trying to figure out what my brain told me was 'clever' code. For me it was 2 things: 1. Code that takes advantage of a constraint in an unexpected way (if you know the input will alw

The book makes a good and strong case for it... though it's almost a side-note in the bigger scheme of what the book is trying to show: that we had civilization (and not even in some relativistic 'you have to squint to see it&#x27

"The Dawn of Everything" by the Davids, Graeber and Wengrow. It's a little dense and a bit meandering at times, but the core idea behind it: we have a strong bias in believing that civilization comes in stages. We believe we

I think many sciences understand that there's a dominant narrative that isn't always right... for instance, we've had a tendency to write and look at history as a succession of important, pivotal men. In this very outdated vi

I think if the poll says 'yes' and he does truly abide by it, I think it will show some honesty around the whole 'public town square' and 'for the people' rhetoric he has espoused. I'd be quite impressed.

I strongly suspect prioritized handling or some other points-based system that classifies customers and the quality of care they 'deserve'. I've had 1 or 2 issues before (things late, wrong things etc) and all of them were ha

I've gotten similar things in recent years, but most of them promise some sort of discount or free tiny trinket from their store if you do it. I've never had the time or energy to follow up. This looks like the next step in that r

Hopefully a useful observation for founders looking for their first employees

I agree with the message overall: impactful work might not 'look' like work, but I'm not sure what the author's deal is with conflating 'collaboration' with 'meaningless meetings'. I guess I've j

This is honestly the exact reason I haven't tried to develop a facebook app or extension... I've heard that the smallest mis-step can get your account suspended like this. Not like a 'here's a warning' but 'you

I generally bill around $175/hr to make whatever technology problems you have work out :) (Note I'm based out of Europe, though, reading some of the stuff here I should probably charge more anyways) That's my generalized rate

I think the weirder implication here is that if a jury changes its mind, it will be interpreted as tampering, their votes will be discarded, and their new 'votes' will be approximated by whatever distribution they think their vote

I think this is more relevant in the US... in party-based systems it becomes much more interesting to see what the party trends are... it's kind of the same types of information but it's even harder to get at because it's spr

Now to put on my grumpy pants... Programming nowadays feels more like an exercise in importing other people's code correctly. I feel like it's mostly writing something that takes data format X, converts it to format Y for library

So the "where the money comes from" part is a separate discussion (maybe another thread?), but I'll try to answer "how it (could) work". So, let's say there's some amount X that is enough for a person to a

I mean 4x8, but I guess 4x10 is also similar. Usually I negotiate for 4x8, and because it's 20% fewer hours, I accept a 20% pay cut, but I guess the 4x10 arrangement wouldn't involve a pay cut since it's the same number of ho

Yeah, it's been important to sell it as a 20% cost savings and make it clear that you don't get 20% less output, but instead the same output with usually increased quality, because the person is more motivated, better rested, mo

Huh, this makes sense. I work in Denmark and the 'standard' package is centered around weeks, so taking less than 1-week units of parental leave is a little difficult.

Awesome resource! Thanks for making and posting it :) The biggest resistance I get is around this "part time/full time" divide. They basically think that 4 days = part-time, which usually means a temp or entry-level person. T
