You could read the links I posted to see the consequences of extreme policy decisions, like very wide bans on abortions. You can either meet people where they are and try to work with them, or you can be extreme and reap the consequences. I

What about if a person can't support their child at that time in their life and they don't have a support system to help them? the government doesn't make it easy to give a kid up for adoption and also doesn't make it ea

Even if we ignore the gun topic, he was extremely anti abortion, including in rape situations. He argued for heinous perspectives and oppression. He didn't deserve to die, but he wasn't advocating for a world of opportunity and ho

The article mentions the chronic absenteeism which is mind blowing: https://apnews.com/article/school-attendance-sick-day-chroni... I don't see how somebody can learn when they're missing school so much. Math

I remember the pre COVID times and people messed around, but they were available. You could actually find them in the building if they were just playing ping pong or something. In the remote world it can be very difficult to reach somebody.

I think a different perspective on this is required. This requires taking Google in good faith (for the arguments sake). The requirements are being rolled out first in countries with high amounts of scam apps. Let's assume it's ca

Your heart, sure. I don't care because it just affects you. Your car, no. An issue there could hurt other people.

I worked on a completely different hardware project within meta and while they didn't want a custom OS, they used an off the shelf rtos with the intention of modifying it and it was a shit show. They had a million justifications for wh

Apple does. That's exactly how they hire. I've also seen robotics startups so the same. It's not impossible at places that are growing.

Why not? It'll probably build character. Also, it's happened all the time? People have been doing it for all of America's history. Tons of famous media is about people moving to the city for a better life.

I don't believe in retraining, but tons of immigrants move for better opportunities with very little savings. It's difficult and unfortunate, but it's necessary

I don't know if this is a good opinion, but I don't think it's a good idea for independent individuals to use highly permissive licenses on their open source software. Companies will just suck it up and might not contribute b

Waymo did it successfully with the Jaguars. I think the idea is that the VC environment isn't conducive to this type of work (I worked for Cruise). The companies grew too big too fast b/c they need to show results to investors. Th

I'm skeptical of the plan to provide a "kit" that can be put on arbitrary construction vehicles. I think Cruise tried something similar with personal vehicles and quickly learned it really could only build a system for a spec

Waymos are more pleasant to be in and people value comfort. I've had many Uber drivers who love to speed, which can be terrifying in SF. The bus can be a real crapshoot with who's on it. The bus also can take forever depending on

What are you doing to actually keep them at your company? I left a company after they invested a lot in training me. They gave me very little raises and already paid poorly, no guaranteed bonus, bad vacation hours, and no opportunities for

"but calling some just 'okay' and others 'better' because they initialize the reputations to different values is not fair" Why is it not fair? I was just stating how it goes. It's pretty well documented th

"I became proficient in Rust in a week". How did you evaluate that if you weren't an expert in Rust to begin with? What does proficient mean to you? Also, are you advocating we get rid of air traffic controllers with AI? How

It's not romanticism and it's very important for me too. I spend a lot of my time drawing out what I'm trying to do before I actually try to do it. I tend to work on greenfield embedded projects though for context. Coding and

I think it's less that nobody cares, it's that more people who don't care think they can get into these jobs and they slip through due to sheer volume. There have always been this many people that don't care, but never h

This is really common in fighting games. Many okay players will get beat by really bad players who are really random. Better players in these games play in such a way as to mitigate effects of the randomness of their opponent.

I agree and I think ultimately, all the layoffs are actually good for the industry (though not for the people obviously). While what I'm saying is callous, there are too many people who don't know anything and don't care to l

I think when it comes to music, it's really disheartening to hear people say it hasn't gotten better. There is a lot of good music coming out in so many genres, but it really requires actively seeking it out.

This headline really is misleading. The source will still be released, it just means that the work leading up to a release will be in private. IMO, there's nothing wrong with that, since it's likely that a lot of the intermediate

The original article references cartels in Colombia, not Mexico. Also, the goal of the research is to prevent people from joining crime organizations, not how to catch existing heads of criminal organizations. It's not clear what you i

A lot of the research seems really useful. I don't understand why we wouldn't prioritize understanding how to prevent drug cartel recruitment (one of the examples cited in the article).

That phrase is really dependent on where you are in life. If you're young, sure! But if you have a big purchase coming up in the next few years (house) or might be retiring, I can't imagine tying up a lot of one's resources i

Ever heard of the Bosnian war? Many in eastern europe hate gypsies too. Maybe they don't discriminate on the color of skin specifically all, but they definitely hate based on culture.
