Ideally you should evaluate if a person will be good in the new position, where they will be promoted. Don't know if that's always possible, or how easy it is. Also, maybe if someone is bad at their job, they should be demoted or

I didn't know about it before visiting it, and when I was there, I was surprised to realise that they have charged me admission into a construction zone. Also, it was nice, but I have no clue what the adulation in this thread is about.

Buzzword bingo isn't restricted to software. The statement just says "Gaudi was a great architect". But it sounds more impressive to talk about "posthumous collaboration", especially if you don't analyze it.

The length of the investigation is so far less than 24h, no? And how sprawling can it be, after less than 24h. If it eventually takes two years, yeah, it will be proof somebody didn't do their homework. But it seems a bit early to tell

Microsoft exemplifies the problem very well, but Microsoft is not the problem. Incentives are the problem. It is very profitable to treat your customers badly, and this is true for MS as well as for the site. As well as for Apple, Google, A

I think hydrogen can be simply found in space, along the way. Not sure about the concentration of deuterium and tritium. I suspect once you get to 1% of c, you can find enough. If you need to lift all the fuel from Earth, sure, antimatter a

I recently read a comment by an icelander saying that they're basically just the same as the rest of the world, incapable of punishing bankers and rich people. Just that on this occasion, the banking sector being so small, something li

So about three Apples, right? Ah, or one Apple, one Microsoft and one Nvidia.

Well, if it makes me self-report as happy, and makes me live longer (on average), I hardly think it is useful to say "no judgement on what's good or bad". If living long while being happy is not good, I don't know what i

Yeah, fixing a problem without understanding it has some disadvantages. It works sometimes, but the "with understanding" strategy works much more often. Is this really a prevailing attitude now? Who cares what happened, as long as

Point being that religion is strictly a good thing, even when accounting for being more or less at war with other religious nuts for decades? Guess if that's what the evidence says...

Must every other comment be "LLMs will change everything"? No, we will not "soon have ungodly powerful generative AIs". At least, it's not likely. When we landed on the moon, people thought we would soon have Mars

Is that something that didn't apply to the internet when it was invented? This is just another way of saying "LLMs are an unprecedented technological leap", which is repeated ad nauseam these days, and personally I a not conv

Religion also gives people a somewhat higher than average chance of being murdered by people of a different religion. At least, that's how it seems to be in Israel / Palestine and actually that whole area. I guess some people arou

You could be right. But I wonder if truly nobody will want to claim their video is not AI-generated. Seems like some people will, and they would get an advantage out of it. Yes, Fox News claims they're entertainment and nobody reasonab

Most tech seems to be used, at least amongst other things, to further strip mine society. It's the extreme of wealth accumulation, and there's always some people wanting to do that. Microsoft uses the idea of personal computers to

So if I replied to your comment with "you are incorrect" I would be putting you in a worse light than saying "you are hallucinating"? The second is making it sound better? Doesn't feel that way to me.

by lucianbr 3y ago
To me it sounds pretty damning. "The tool hallucinates" makes me think it's completely out of touch with reality, spouting nonsense. While "It has made a mistake, it is factually incorrect" would apply to many of my

You think the crashes of the two 737 MAX being outside of the US was not luck, but determined at least in part by the FAA? Would you care to explain how you came to this conclusion, as I really, really don't see it...

I wonder why the respective people lie. Maybe their life experience tells them nobody is really on their side, and telling the truth never helps. Also, I wonder if the author really does the best they can. We only have their word for it, a

Apple is also in an interesting position then, where it gets to piggyback on various ISPs infrastructure without paying those ISPs anything. Let's just ignore that customers pay, both for iphones and for internet access, shall we?

When you are fined for speeding, can you then just go on speeding like the speed limit does not apply to you, having paid the fine once? No. Apple is ordered to change their behavior and pay a fine. If they pay the fine but repeat the beh

What you say is true, and relevant to the discussion, but... it doesn't answer anything. A very long and dragged out process takes away the justness of it all, and the fact that the supreme court was involved does not change that in an
