Yeah as others have pointed out, it probably wouldn't be possible to hide a TLI mission, so they'd probably be upfront about the mission instead, but this is fun enough science-fiction to think about that it is my headcanon now.

Yeah, everyone points out that "if its free, you are the product" then Google and Microsoft do all kinds of shitty stuff due to their products being cheap/free, then people scream about Apple's hardware markups.

Capitalism creates corruption, regulatory capture and bribery. Also created those laughably long copyright laws. It's the same picture.

AI/ML is certainly going to get integrated everywhere ultimately and in a lot of things that will get hidden to the average consumer, like medical imaging. What is really hype right now is how AI is going to upset all our day to day li

That probably incentivizes selling accounts to bot farms, usually in social media you give more weight to people who have stuck around longer rather than the accounts that have less activity and might be fake.

Yeah, give me this truck with just a bit of upsell: airbags, antilock, A/C and a long bed and i'll throw on a spray on bedliner, a tonneau cover and a stereo.

It think any discussion of Liskov really needs an engineering-oriented explanation of how you commonly wind up violating Liskov and what the alternatives are. I don't think I've ever really seen a good article on that.

Yeah Waze needs a "UPS" setting where it doesn't take you straight across stroads and heavily favors turning right, while not routing you straight through everyone's residential neighborhoods.

The PRRAR furin cleavage sequence wasn't a previously known furin cleavage pattern and its unlikely that human scientists would have tried to insert that particular pattern into the genome of a virus. We also now know of natural viruse

There's no need for the model weights and parameters. The probabilities output from a multilabel classification model would be entirely sufficient to tell what the model thought the user had done. It was trained on a category and it

Yeah the biggest factor on making it worse isn't iPhones or big SUVs but just increasing narcissism (although the factors seem to be multiplicative).

Yeah +1 on not even talking to anyone in management about tests. I've never talked about solving problems like that, always just talked about the time to fix the bug / implement the feature, and test were implicitly part of that.

What probably happened is that certain dev teams built ridiculous things on top of the ECS/DOTS code to see how much they could push the detail. So you wound up with things like the teeth. Which was probably some internal demo-driven
