Of all the things wrong with windows, I don't feel that having a Microsoft account is the worst of them, or the one that needs the most attention. Is the reasoning that if you don't have a Microsoft account, they'll do less o

I was wondering about this, as this is how I thought it works, but is memory reducing the context window rather than loading in so much each time?

Some people are comfortable living on the edge, but it isn't for most. I was developing in the metaverse space, and the problems we were facing led me to learn about the state of AI image generation (2018), and where the world was head

Are these sorts of general advice on how to do X even valuable today when you can put the details of your start-up into AI and get a more customized and moderately more thoughtful actions based on what your start-up does, who your customers

I probably should have worded that better. 500k applicants for 10k positions. The jobs aren't different. Think Amazon Warehouse job where there are 650k workers. High turnover, and an HR department is running those interviews, not the

I have a friend who was working in this space in 2019. Their customers were hiring something like 10k jobs worldwide annually, which means 500k+ applications to go through. AI was used for the first filter to get a person through to later r

How google hasn't been able to do this with messenger is beyond me. The external partners on our slack are almost all logged in via gmail or other google workspace. We are on google workspace as well.

Exactly! If this post had been written 20 years ago it would have started with Internet, handheld computers, electric cars...The problem is the same dudes. Putting beanie babies in with Quantum Computing and Nuclear Power completely ignores

This seems about the equivalent of "Coca-cola knew sugar was bad, but they put it in their drink anyway!" Am I missing something? Is this more like tabacco for some reason? Why do we accept sugar and not tabacco?

As a Canadian, we don't think of travelling to the US as "international travel". It's more like going to a friends house. I remember flying Alaska Airlines out of SFO and when I went to check-in at the International Term

I think the bigger point you are making is that the 50 year old is also more likely to have developed cancer. Maybe a full body MRI once a decade is fine until your 30s, then once every 5 years until 50, then once ever 2 years beyond 50. Th

I don't understand who this is for? How many software engineers are also cinematographers or directors? I know that AI will democratize these roles and everyone can be a director, but why does it make sense to use JSX as the means to d

Controversial question here. When someone is arrested, the police can get a subpoena to enter your house, right? There they can collect evidence regarding the case. Digital protections should exist, but should they exist beyond what is avai
