Usable AI sparks interest and therefore funding. If this leads to a large improvement of everyone's life this is a good thing, even if it generates noise in our public spaces.

Can you skim several full pages minus one and read the abstract last? If it's not effort you have to expend, you've won.

You will feel different when some giant enterprise takes your shit, locks it up and never contributes any improvements back. Or maybe you would not. I definitely would :)

I'm assuming they meant sustainable for a single person. The percentage of people holding such a salary long-term could be very low. I don't know whether or not it is, but that is how I read the comment.

Abstracts can also be close to a full page long. While this doesn't have to be bad, it's usually more information you're looking for (especially if you were only going to read the abstract anyway).

The fact that there is no way to know means that at most we should say "no idea". It is also the least knowledge we should pretend to have on the subject.

And of course it is easy to know in every case what those changes look like and what this noise sounds like. At every point of development.

The middle ground is having extroverts socialise somewhere where it's not a demand that inflicts harm on other people. Where folks can be of their own free will.

Most people are neither nice nor interesting. Generally the response to this is "get to know them better", which is tedious as it implies everything is nice as long as you know enough about it. This is also not true. There is a lo

It's simple: Use the website. It will never stop working because people use it and you can automate and scrape it just fine. Kind of sucks that you have to go through the effort - but then there is no social media corporation that isn&

Any corporation that is bought by another corporation or starts buying smaller ones is a corporation that invests a significant fraction (or even most) of it's money in MBA things. Consequentially, it's not going where it should g

South America is not more expensive and there isn't really anything there for anyone. Except for the US meddling in politics, but that's hard to escape.

Are there many countries where this is not part of the curriculum? I've genuinely never met anyone that wasn't taught this in school.

Lots of dog owners are bad at it, but they can probably hit the right thing 50% of the time. Without any sort of successful communication, I can't imagine it would be pleasant to own a pet.

Food, warmth or a backrub can be summarised as "comfort". I think a good laugh falls under that category as well.

There are two issues here: On one hand, the required amount of actual work is decreasing. This is cool and good. On the other hand, the demanded amount of fictional work (i.e. things that don't need to happen except folks must "

With any new technology there is a lot of hand-wringing. Nobody says new tech cannot be criticised, but claiming it is by definition evil because it is new (which is essentially what is happening) is not useful. It's tedious to read an

It is not, and most of the internet is already trash. We're speaking a lot about scale - but there are currently billions of humans and most of what they put online is already trash. It's not going to materially change - it is cur

I'm genuinely a little mystified why saying I think someone is not well and wishing that they get better is a personal attack. I'll refrain from the subject in the future to be safe.

It wasn't life advice, I was walking through my thought process towards asking why this is relevant. Which you have not addressed.

Criticism from whom? If it's your friends, get better friends. Other than that, it might be family - which is easily explained as jealousy (any success at all tends to get that response). Am I missing some hypothetical case where someo

Given that there isn't some superior visual representation of math, I think it is reasonable to say there won't be one for code - at least for a while.

If you write an application that makes money in a manner that involves transactions from people somehow, it will be the case for you. That is in fact the majority of developers.

Newspapers are so filled with lies it is more fair to express which parts of them are true. The internet being a cesspit of misdirection and nonsense is not any different from every other part of human society. Of course the AI does these t

Most people have jobs where most of their cognitive capacity matters not one whit. You can stock shelves or do office work while stoned out of your mind (and people do). For some reason we don't love the idea, but tbqh these jobs are b

You're drawing a lot of parallels and making a lot of equivalences, as well as bold large claims. It appears to have not even a shred of evidence, except for the fact that you appear to have a strong placebo response to secondhand smok

If the lies start that early, you can usually just not read the rest and lose nothing.
