Nothing they said suggested they'd be disruptive. If someone does their work properly, and you're upset at their lack of sociability, you're the problem.

They seem willing to gradually replace C++ with Rust, but that actually does require C++ to not change in backward incompatible ways. They're depending on a stable ABI when calling into Rust.

Look at video games and you'll see the surface area of "addictive design" is basically infinite. People have gotten addicted to a huge variety of games, with not all that much in common.

The environmental concerns around oil refineries are a huge barrier to construction across much of the world.

I became immediately suspicious due to how complex the rationing schemes were. Even the labels put on food like "margarine" aren't composed of what you'd normally expect, as they shifted to fish/whale oils due to av

I'd caution that you just have independent groups in some of these comment sections. You sometimes see people on reddit amazed that "reddit's opinion seems to have changed". Nothing changed, just a different subgroup. Yo

My company has an AI tool appending a summary after the human one. As far as I can tell, people aren't reading it. If people create the PR using something like Claude, you get an AI summary after another AI summary.

I suspect there is actually three groups, because the app also has a sort of coupon-ing in it. The lowest price requires you to search the app to find a "deal" that is currently available, rather than just use your loyalty points

Neither Bluesky or Threads actually made that pitch. Threads was started up because of the business opportunity of Musk fumbling things, but Bluesky seemed almost annoyed by all the new users.

You choose what you see on Bluesky. I see little politics while using it. If everyone you followed moved over, just limit it to their posts.

Consider the ratio of air traffic controllers to the number of people moving through the airport. It's not a huge cost. There's often far more staff moving bags. It was a problem at very rural airports, and now some people man tho

This is just the classic "we're going to crack down, but even harder!". It's just the behavior of people who have no new ideas for how to solve a problem.

They don't have much of an offering yet. OpenAI has some conventional ads, but everyone expects more involved advertising integrated into the conversation itself somehow.

Never, not a single time, in the entire history of California, has efficiency ever increased?

A number of famous business leaders have admitted they had no idea what they were doing in their memoirs. A few have even suggested that was an advantage. Everyone running these AI firms is being forced to make educated guesses about the fu

That you struggle to believe a government could ever operate modestly more efficiently, doesn't mean it never happens.

The problem is deception. People aren't going to check the weight and ingredients label every time they buy a product. A small size decrease won't get caught.

You can generate 10000 different versions of something that might resemble someone's lost work. It's unlikely anyone will want to read any of them.

Someone did notice, as they panicked at the cost. What didn't happen is any analysis of cost/benefit up front. Many of the corporate decisions around AI have seemed characterized by companies blindly copying each other.

My company has tried to produce an AI oriented process, and I just don't see it making sense. The basic problem is, no one on our side has actually doubted the ability of candidates to us the AI tools in conventional ways. Consider the

Sure, but remember the use case being discussed is interrogation. You have a tool that can collect what someone is trying to type, but they aren't trying to type. And, my point was, there may be zero words to collect at all, because th

Remember that a lot of people have no internal monologue, and even for those that do, it's silent most of the time. They might hope to get that, but the typical case is for there to be no text or voice to extract.
