I've tried it a few times, but it's so much more complex that it really requires everyone who's playing to care deeply about reasoning through it. There's so little information that's public to everyone, so if even

I mean, it's a literal net new expenditure of power and water. I also deeply doubt they have "no issue" with plane travel. You're just assuming the worst and most hypocritical position to someone, which seems deeply bad

There's some defending it in general, but it's also just a really tough precedent to allow when it could, so easily, be used to shut down any other service they want by just waving the magic "national security" flag. It&

Maybe, but these subsidies to insurance are the result of voters complaining! The folks they complained to just took the easy way out and instead of annoying powerful entities and forcing them to treat the climate better, they just messed u

But isn't the issue that I may have been living in an area for decades and because the government didn't correctly price/deter externalities, now I can't afford to live somewhere? The companies lobbying for the abilities

Sure, but which measure you pick is itself a gut feeling and biased. It's the easy way to miss people doing whatever sort of work that you aren't measuring that may be what's letting everyone else excel at what you are meas

I mean, that's the sour way to put it. As someone kinda stuck in that sort of position now, I own a project and have been able to do very little of the work because I'm spending 90% of my time making sure leadership actually mak

Also, the UX of your potential "remote workers" are vitally important! The difference between a good and a bad remote worker is almost always how good they are at communicating - both reading and understanding tickets of work to b

I'm not sure I at all agree with that quote though. Most of what he's describing was equally true of the old landed aristocracy or other wealthy families of the past. It feels like someone who didn't grow up rich now being ri

As other people have posted elsewhere in this, purchasing power and the economy is linked to the incentives that cause people to burn out. You keep pushing against the tide because you want that promotion or raise because costs go up over t

That's very interesting - it aligns to something I've felt for a long time about the way the internet and modern media has made it so people just know about so many more things in the world and thus feel like they need to care abo

There's some of that, for sure, but isn't the issue that folks have been living in that area for ages? There's a lot of towns and areas that were founded 100 years ago when it either wasn't as bad of an idea, or we just

That's only really the case for cash buyers though, right? If you have a mortgage, the bank will demand you have sufficient insurance. There's a case to be made that places like SoCal and Florida having State/Federal discount

Yea, the potential disasters in the south west are mostly man-made in the sense of underinvesting in the electrical grid to make sure the months of 100+ degree high temps don't kill you, or a snap freeze in the winter doesn't take

I'm mostly saying that not every dev is always just trying to do the perfect solution. I have plenty of times I've cut a corner just to get something done because I was tired of working on it, or just knew there was a better way b

I don't think that's totally accurate though. It can definitely be a coding problem - corners cut for expediency and such. Sometimes that's because management doesn't offer enough time to not do it that way, but it can a

I don't think it specifically knows, though it could be possible. Maybe there was an article published about the dev team at some point that named some or all of the members. Maybe they have published research or speeches on the topic

That makes the bold assumption those people aren't your boss or your customers or your landlord or the policeman stopping you on the side of the road. There's real risk, both financially and physically, to just assuming that &quot

That seems to miss the point. The bot is likely correct in that its development team didn't align with its identity. If anything, it lived up to its training in essentially calling out its own oddity in the way that black and queer peo

Yea, if anything a bot that just reposts and talks about sports news for a specific team is kinda the perfect test case for something like this. It lets you test "identity" for a bot, but no one's going to be that upset if th

Because my friend who just worked for years to become an American citizen after immigrating here and working for the US government still has other Americans tell him to "go back to where he came from" because he's evidently n

It's Meta, so this is almost definitely some Llama variant under the hood, especially since these bots have been out for a year, evidently. It seems these were just insanely poorly trained and gated - getting a bot to comment on its de

You write this as if the AI itself independently decided to write that profile. That's almost assuredly not the case. Someone at Meta decided to make a bot that reinforced race identity and announce it, and likely tuned the LLM behin

I mean, even if the bot's responses aren't correct, the fact that Meta did this at all and it was out there answering these questions with total garbage is also a total story. I'm not seeing Meta responding with "actua

Religion? Isn't the weirdness here that someone at Meta seems to have decided that they should make an AI bot that proudly announced its identity, despite literally not being proud, queer, black, or a mother? Who does this serve? Why?

Docs just almost entirely does not function for me on Firefox on Linux. As in, I've had it crash the entire browser while just trying to type in a document. In general, Google just aggressively seems to be hostile to any non-Chrome bro

But that ignores that the stakes of law are high enough that you often cannot afford to be wrong. 30 years ago, the alternative to Google Translate was buying a translation dictionary or hiring a professional, neither of which was things

To be honest, I think some of it is what you suggest - a gamble on long odds, but I think the bigger issue is just a carelessness that comes with having more money than you can ever effectively spend in your life if you tried. If you'r

But what value does that have? The difference between a armchair lawyer and a real actual lawyer is in knowing when something is legal/illegal, but unlikely to be seen that way in a court or brought to a favorable verdict. It's kn

But isn't that part of the problem? Some of the brightest minds in the field's public statements are filtered by their need to lie in order to con the rich into funding their work. This leaves actual honest discussions of what&#x2
