This is bullshit. There's no "safe headset" for bike riding, just like there's no safe level for drinking. If you're really feeling the need to nullify the sublimely powerful and enriching experience that is bike r

Have you, um, been there, not like a tourist? Like rented an apartment, dealt with their government offices and low level officials? If you only knew, comrade. If you only knew. But you don't, and by this point you've adeptly

Anything you'd be missing about Spark from doing so? Would like to know more about the cost tradeoffs, also. Please elaborate.

But with cash you can at least, you know, go down to the corner store and buy yourself a bottle of water. And maybe even something to eat.

The only difference between the people in charge of Ukraine, and the people in charge of Russia, is Ukraine doesn't have the military to go threaten the world - and if they did, they would. I don't buy this assessment at a all.

I find those example quite encouraging, actually. In that it shows that the current SOA is still pretty far off from creating a planet-killing and/or species-ending AI.

by lisasays 3y ago
Me neither. In fact it seems "using AI" is already dead as a business plan, is it not? In any case we definitely need more specifics, please.

Don't doubt it - but please explain.

It's operationally significant, for sure. I just mean in the background of the broader picture -- of a large company taking advantage of the legal process to silence a bothersome critic.

Check back with them in a few years. Tech has a way being fun ... until it isn't.

I'm talking about living memory. Up until about 15 years ago in fact.

That's not what the article says. In fact, in terms or revenue levels that's the opposite of what it says.

People who want to "be authentic" instead of just "getting a degree" will suffer. This is exactly how civilizations (eventually) collapse. It wasn't always this way and people weren't always so fearful as the

They're not hung up on anything. They're holding firm that this is (in essence) a SLAPP. Whether it's a lawsuit proper or a subpoena resulting from a document request filed to the court by Amazon (and affecting the activist

Not necessarily -- recall that lead service lines were extremely widely used in the U.S. in all neighborhoods, black and white. So in fact it's more likely that he pipes being first put into the ground without any racist intent at all

In practical terms - its still basically Amazon, acting through the courts, trying to effectively strangle him. I think that's what was driving when he said "Amazon served me".

This was just before russia entered the war. The war started (and Russia entered it) in 2014, as you are perfectly aware. On the other hand, eu/nato was training ukranian soldiers since 2015. As Ukraine had every right to, given th

Ah, didn't see that. Tech companies contradict themselves (or otherwise say patent nonsense) in job postings all the time, unfortunately. By default these job boards seem to often be clusterfuck operations, with everyone shoving rando

Bulge-bracket tech workers might get those things, or enough cash to offset their absence. Average-case tech workers certainly do not get several mandatory weeks of PTO. And the co-pays on their healthcare are also quite often "meh&qu

Or a fancy title to pad your resume with. Or perhaps reasonably legitimate experience, actually, that can't be had in your current day job or ever could be.

As they none-too-delicately state in the same blurb: "We are hiring worldwide." So clearly that's what they're aiming for.

What numbers are you working off of? The indications I'm seeing are that some rebagged oil maybe getting through to the EU - but not at scale. It's definitely not simply a matter of moral high ground. Independent of the sympathi

I suspect the challenge is not in getting that particular feature to work in isolation (which I agree seems trivial). But rather, in getting it to work in a way that integrates with the 10,000 other decision boundary problems that a large-

The reason I don’t think the actual act of the program bugging is racist is I imagine it’s just some stupid rule based on shape (primates have a similar shape) and skin color and isn’t smart enough to distinguish humans vs gorillas vs Gumb
