While I don't think mentioning her by name was necessary (she's just an example of the culture of bad middle management he's calling out), I do think highlighting her race as a meta-criticism does neither the OP nor Banks her

The first two points will be addressed in the next major release with typed catchers. The latest release notes[1] call this out, and in fact reference the same Github issue. Additionally, it looks like they're even addressing one of th

I will go out on a limb and say that unless the model itself has already been shown to be in a state that can be described as self-aware, self-awareness is impossible to achieve (not just prove) using an immutable model and a single &quot

My theory - based on nothing - is that a lot of people "think in video" now. They don't read writing, they read subtitles. So when they write, what they're doing is narrating the images and ideas playing out like a movie

Nice, curious to hear how it works for you. I find the word "next" is key, otherwise it loves to dump a numbered list of 10 questions on you like it's giving you homework. As written, it should yield a constructive Q/A l

Improvements from sustainable economic policy happen slowly. To wit, if Trump wins again, he'll take credit for any burgeoning positive effects of Biden's policies, just like he did with Obama's.

Trump cut taxes. It artificially juiced the economy and ballooned the deficit. COVID hit; the Fed dropped rates to save the economy. Stimulus checks from both admins increased spending, most agreed they were needed. Supply chain issues caus

Is it really like crypto? I can think of plenty of ways it is decidedly not like crypto, key amongst them being an end-user value proposition that isn't inevitably some flavor of snake oil.

The meta-disagreement is whether the "now" is all that matters, or whether Israel doing all that is necessary to recover the hostages is a pretext to greater, more sustained Israeli control of Palestinian territory.

No, I think backdoor is the appropriate term, not least of all because the first sentence of the Wikipedia entry you linked identifies the Clipper chip as such. As long as we're nitpicking word choice, the word allegory does not apply
