When this is done with deposits to avoid IRS scrutiny it's called "structuring."

I don't think this is what they were saying.

This is from the Annual Report.

It sounds like in the example the character idea was their own, and they then used an LLM to add come context.

I use it a lot for ideation on things like strategy and creative tasks. I've found Gemini to be much better than Claude, but I almost want to switch back to Claude because of the "Projects" primitive where I can add specific

This reasoning would lead to such absurd results in real life, and I am thankful no courts of any country or jurisdiction follow this logic. For those reading: this is the difference between proximate cause and actual cause. Yes it's t

I'm on the verge of unsubscribing from Stratechery. The last month has been a bunch of fawning over Meta, YouTube, and constant talk about and fawning over OpenAI and whatever latest models are coming out. It's kind of tiring and

We shouldn't be rude or hostile to people, but expressing your disapproval or displeasure definitely can (and in my experience, has) caused a chain reaction enough over time the corp makes changes.

Hiii not sure who you are, so not sure how much weight your endorsement carries. That being said, the shooter has been identified as a very right wing person. I’m not trying to silence anyone, but they did, of their own accord and apropos o

Of course not, as far as I can tell they don't even have the perpetrator in custody. It's unfortunately normal for the extremes on either side to immediately accuse the extremes of the other side of being guilty when something lik

I can’t really answer that, but I can say I find the subject matter fascinating and relating it to a show with which I’m familiar helps ground the material a little for me. So I really enjoy it, even knowing that the Dothraki have little ba

I did downvote you because you said I could, but this is absolutely true. But, it kind of should be true. Government employees need to strongly know the industry they’re regulating to regulate effectively. I can’t imagine someone with zero

Former defense contractor at (Relatively) small company here, this is a reasonable and common sense explanation, especially from what I know from being inside the defense industry. It’s not even far fetched at all. I don’t think this goes t

Isn’t that the purpose of money laundering, to create an income stream so that you can pay taxes on it? I don’t know tax law in depth, but it seems like if one could just report to the IRS anonymous money it would largely obviate the need f

I love these great, though utterly useless, projects people do for the love of things and for no other reason than it’s something interesting to them. I will be following along.

Those are probably more accurate. Steve King was a recent elected rep, and Paul Nehlen was a strong candidate. While Spencer espouses the same views as them, I think he probably vocalizes those views more than the current mainstream party i

The other poster answered this I think pretty succinctly. But I’m sure you could get a $100+ bottle of wine at pick-your-random-chain-restaurant similar to Chili’s or whatever is in that range, where there is certainly zero company-mandated

“ For years, Shipt has used a clear commissioned-based pay model that ($5 plus a 7.5 percent commission on all orders),...” Outside the context of algorithmic pay models, I’ve always had a lingering doubt in the context of the restaurant in

I have become less and less convinced on this. Most recently I had choices for what would ostensibly be a Go-centric job between generalists who had a little Go experience, and people really good at Go, but not as much at the rest of our st

I've been wanting to learn linear algebra. I had some exposure in college along with my calc classes, but never really understood it fundamentally. Like it was mentioned, I mostly did matrix transforms but didn't realize fundament

Of course, look up PTSD. This has been recognized for at least a century. Your other shock comment approximating the use of the N-word was harmful too. Why actively work to harm members of this community?

by irl_zebra 6y ago
I get that you think you're being clever or something, but being a bad member of this community by using words you know cause harm to people really degrades everyone's experience.

I really like it! I am a millennial with a lot of disposal income because of SWE and companies like FAANG. I've been to art galleries and openings but never purchased, and always feel like there's some low grade grift going on. I

I accidentally did a PM interview one time at FAANG and couldn't have done well, but it was fun! Really did enjoy it.

The quotes next to them make it strongly seem like they're real people endorsing the product. Coupled with this "Show HN" post, one would think they're genuine people. If this were some corporate blog, I would disagree.

Uh yeah, especially on the 4. Tineye shows they're stock photos, which seems incredibly shady because you know the quotes are totally fabricated as well. This seems very opportunistic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but oppo

I have a Pixel XL, original one, and it's always been good. This makes me want to switch, partially for the smaller size. I see my Pixel has a snapdragon 821 chip, and the 3a has a 670. Can anyone comment on whether the 3a would genera
