Exactly. I'm glad someone else remembers the pre-eternal-September internet. (For me mid to late 1980s.)

Have you worked in a corporation? How sane was that corporation? Did it seem to even value its own survival? (Not corporations in general. In general they seem great. Just curious about the ones you actually did time in.)

Yeah this part scares me a little. I imagine it scares everyone who is more than a couple of years out of school. I hear that "the solution to LLM tech debt is more LLM." That might be true, but it might not be.

Thanks, it's very clear what you're saying.

Interesting data, thanks.

It's tuned to the audience. Bloomberg was traditionally for people who actually wanted information. People who were fallible and had limited knowledge. Of course that mentality is obsolete. Now we all have infinite access to perfectly

Agreed. If the arguments seem sound and well supported, then all we can do is attack the tone.

That's possible, sure. But I think the answer is more likely in the numbers, not in just qualitatively saying AI isn't worth anything. Like if I pay $30k for an ounce of gold, I got value. Gold is worth something. But that amount

Stop testing. If you test, the picture is only going to get worse.

This is a reasonable reaction to the title, but not to TFA.

Why listen to US progressives' opinions about Europe? Ask Europeans.

So much like Clippy.

Some might argue that lying to those who want to be lied to is still usually dishonest.

What are you assuming about overflow? Three 32-bit numbers multiply out to 96 bits.

I think this depends a lot on how you select the set of private schools you're looking at.

I don't think it's paradoxical at all. This was the original strength of the SAT system.

I'm not sure whether these FPGA codes count as specialized hardware.

>not gambling due to insider information. I can't make this argument work at all. Gambling with some cheating is still gambling.

>If someone will lend you money without cross-collateralization, why wouldn't you prefer that? I would prefer that! I'd prefer even more strongly that the debt be owed by someone else entirely, so a default isn't associate

That's pretty blurry, though. Blurry enough that we don't distinguish between the collateral and the borrower.

Sure that is commercial lending.* And the acquirer owes the debt. But that's not how LBOs work. In an LBO the target owes the debt. *Coverage of 1:1 is an accident waiting to happen, but otherwise sure.

LBOs are much worse than that. It's like buying a rental property where the mortgage is owed by the a shell corporation that owns the property. The shell corporation, not the purchaser, owes the debt. It's like taking out a mortga

Maybe you're right, but your main argument above is circular.

Not sure I get the joke. Should "we're crooked" be a defense against illegal gambling charges?

by nyeah 4mo ago
If your argument supports "murder for hire should be legal," then the problem is your argument.

Yes? If I use 3 shares and require all three to recover, then I think I could let the 3 points define a plane. Then the plane would intersect the axis at a unique point. If I want 4 or more shares, I can make them by just generating more po

Sure, elected criminals should tried, convicted if guilty, and punished for criminal actions. The votes don't change that. I'm saying something else: Maybe it makes some sense after all for the taxpayers to pay civil damages due t

What if a majority of taxpayers voted for that sheriff?

Yeah very good song choices there.

Very nice map. Historical comment only. I first listened to this music in the late 1970s. One big change in the story, over time, is how few people trace the sound to Hendrix now. (Not this map in particular. Metal fans I know would agree w
