I've had *very* much the opposite experience. Very nearly every AI skeptic take I read has exactly this opinion, if not always so well-articulated (until the last section, which lost me). But counterarguments always attack the complete

Huh? On Android at least, re-routing in navigation requires an explicit confirmation from you.

The headline, as always, is disingenuous. They were asked why they couldn't lock third parties out of this level of unprotected system access, and said that the 2009 ruling prevented them from doing so. Which is simply factually correc

You're maybe not wrong, but I'm pretty sure I was reading this same comment 10 years ago, when we were just calling it deep learning.

There are hundreds of millions or billions of us, though, depending on how broad a brush you use. Any given issue or value is going to have someone , in fact quite a lot of someones, on every conceivable side of it. Even if you limit your

It's only "hypocrisy" if it's the same people saying it. The media zeitgeist is not a person.

You gotta remember, what's being sold in this kind of pitch is not a business model. They're looking for unicorns. What's being sold is the maximum possible size of the market you can extract value from. I'm no VC, but I

Not to mention the "Earning" medium is independent of the "Playing" medium. The conflicting incentives don't come into play (as much), i.e. the game can still actually be fun.

Can you elaborate which parts of the style you feel "will not be taken seriously"? It looks like a pretty standard resume to me.

Maybe, but it's not as though that sentiment comes out of nowhere. If we compare the general consensus on the success of Prohibition vs, say, the campaign against drunk driving in the 80s and 90s, it's easy to feel quite cautious

The "radiation hardening" aspect is metaphorical, this is referring specifically to removing characters, not bit-flips from gamma rays.

Telescope[1] is pretty central to navigation in Neovim these days. Think Ctrl-P in VSCode, but for any entity in your editor or workspace, not just files. Files in workspace, buffers (open files), ripgrep results, LSP symbols / referen

Thank you for phrasing the comment I came here to make better than I could. This article (much like a lot of views expressed on this site) mostly just reads as someone jumping from a startup to large-business environment for the first time,

I don't think that was the expectation, not sure where you read that into it. The two examples he gave were for the bar in the lobby and a total bill that would be mainly food. This is presumably a Drafthouse or one of the similar plac
