This is very cool research (solid theory and data paired with "hands-on" activity across teams) and a well-presented finding. I'm hoping there's a chance to find larger samples in the future as well. Even if not, just th

Do yourself a favor and read the whole article. The author does a fantastic job of summing up the big issues facing psychology and a lot of my own thoughts regarding the academic side of the social sciences in general. So very few people in

Even beyond employment, healthcare represents a ridiculous 18% of the US GDP these days.

Am I missing something here? From the video and examples this looks like it's helping you make Excel charts with less suck (slightly stylized), not really building what I would consider "infographics" in the traditional marke

I'd say the problem VCs have now is that the decade of nearly-free money is over and everyone has 5% risk-free return investment opportunities. At the same time the sky-high valuations of many startups were based on dreams that never p

How does one filter for candidates who are very smart and willing to work very hard without having a trusted person already at the company to vouch for them?

Many of them are, though. I suggest you read this article: https://www.rd.com/article/how-honest-are-dentists/

You're needlessly complicating this and also changing what the parent comment I was responding do takes issue with. There are two things to be evaluated here: 1) Is ingestion of copyrighted material as part of the model training proc

I sure didn't buy a license for every book and screenplay I've ever read. And I borrow a lot of books from the library. I'm not understanding why you think ML models need to license all of their input content when humans cl

I'm still not understanding your argument here. If a ML model spits out snippets of copyrighted material and you try to monetize those then that's clearly infringement. But if it ingests copyrighted material and then spits out ent

I'm not understanding how it's different. For example, if I specifically set out to make money by creating and selling a parody of Harry Potter by reading all the Harry Potter books a bunch of times, does that make my parody a vio

What’s the main selling point for why I should use this over the pile of existing RPA tools?

Every time this advice comes up I groan because it's so specific to a single type of individual and a single sector-economy convergence. If you're not a top engineer applying to companies with massive salary caps, or especially if

I’m having trouble reconciling this with several threads over the last few days lamenting how hard it is to get interviews right now. Different position levels? Different sectors within tech? Not sure what’s going on.

I like this approach with a graph. In the past I’ve run into people ignoring text bullets about the “boring” development wins.

What resources, exactly? The moon is a shit place to go for basically anything. We’d be much better off trying for near earth asteroids. And no, a lunar base is not a good launching spot to get to other places in the solar system. You’re

How did the team report out things that weren’t new features? Performance improvements and bug fixes are often more important than adding more stuff to the product.

You and others here are conflating right of way with responsibility at red lights. Those are two separate things. While emergency vehicles have right of way, that only means you must pull over to let them pass you. But emergency vehicles al

In the first scenario, how do you plan to return the A-round investor money at a multiple and timeframe they'll be happy with for their fund?

Not sure where you heard that. Everything I've read (and a quick google search to confirm) indicates that rice fields are flooded because it's a cheap way to prevent weeds and pests from destroying crop yields.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. If you look at the Wikipedia page on GHG [1], the warming effect of methane is maybe ~20% of the total GHG impact. So a 70% reduction of 11% of methane, which is a ~20% contributor is an overall warm

fwiw, my personal experience testing both has been that Waymo's vehicles are noticeably better at driving, and also drive more aggressively. It's to the point where sitting in a Waymo vehicle is unremarkable and I don't even

A quick search on Google News shows at least 3 human drivers did the same thing in the last 3 months, so this doesn't bother me all that much.

Finally! This is one of the few fission uses I'm genuinely excited about. Nuclear-thermal just makes so much sense for in-space propulsion of large vessels compared to chemical rockets.

Almost certainly that was $100M valuation.

Commercial leases are usually 7 years. If they bought in during the go-go run in 2018-2019, they've still got years left. Breaking a commercial lease in good times is already very difficult (I was lucky to get out of one a year early i

This is funny to me because off the shore of Southern California (some of the most expensive land in the country), the horizon is dotted with oil rigs and cargo ships.
