Google has since fired other folks on her team and was in crisis mode to protect Dean. Like, I’m not really going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this. When people brought Dean up Timnit came up as something to consider, it’s inter

Even if they stole technology they'd need a time machine to be where they're at now since they're ahead of others. I wouldn't put it past Intel to imply they stole from their upcoming node but, if so, it's not like

Intel certainly do run machines 24/7 but perhaps those R&D engineers/PhD's don't, so maybe only the techie's running the machines have full coverage...?

Where and how often? I get a notice every time I update my OS for things I don't care about. But imagining every time I opened my main search interface that I saw an ad... no thanks.

I think it’s reasonable to critique anything and everything. People have, historically, been over eager to believe any AI hype. Hence the numerous AI winters.

“Three years of profit” over 25 years, not accounting for inflation. Perhaps the first comment was too harsh but let’s not be overly generous.

Elon has said he wanted more reach and experimented with getting it. He also loves attention and tweets a ton. There’s benefit of the doubt then there’s just… whatever the polar opposite of that is.

I don't think so. The post claims there's ways to deal with spam without trusting single authorities to police it. Additionally, the linked post explains that if you get flagged as spam or "sending to many emails" there&

Good-ness can be a creeping thing. If you're excited to work for a company because it does an actual measurable good you probably are inclined to care about and advocate for the people around you. Wish them luck in keeping that fairnes

A bit presumptuous to say the latest way to transmit photos is by a specific company. Pretty sure most news papers don’t use starlink.

I feel like many threads said Apple’s main advantage was process. So with a better process Apple and mobile chips can become even more power efficient than intel chips? Hard to piece this info together with that.

Being alone can feel so different depending on the circumstances. Being asked to sit alone during a study could make me feel uncomfortable wondering if they’re observing me while I sit or trying to glean something else from me.

> I don't know why so many people hold this poisonous viewpoint. Because it lets their own selfish behavior get a pass which they feel guilty for. I most commonly see this view point in bosses, go figure.

What is the latest data for car crash deaths involving teslas? I know there’s a case against them for a few deaths involving a breaking bug. People often pitch this view but don’t provide real numbers.

Let me rephrase: if you have a set interface touchscreens suck. No one would choose to use a touchscreen over a physical keyboard, or steering wheel, or mouse for an fps game. It’s a crap interface compared to others but it’s the best to d

I think it’s interesting to consider why touchscreen mobile phones won out over their predecessors. Touchscreens are the worst interface option. The feedback of feeling a button, or anything made for the job, is better than typing without s

Important to note that both companies don’t have a public demo yet. Microsoft’s “demo” only answers select questions which is… not an actual demo. That said this is a hilarious mess up because Microsoft actually had a presentation.
