It was reusable, but way over promised. Don't take my word for it. Richard Feynman served on the Challenger commission and very nicely summarizes the difference between Apollo and Space Shuttle. https://youtu.be/4kpDg7M

Statistics - stuff I can do in Excel as long as no one asks for an underlying proof involving integration. Machine Learning - stuff I apply with some understanding. AI - stuff I apply without understanding.

For all the shit that HN gives to MBAs, one thing they instill into you during the Managerial Stats class is Stag Sig not the same as Managerial Sig.

It's only favorable, because there's no better alternative for the money. In a sense, interest rates are still low, for this risky of a bet to be the better alternative.

By paying a pretty penny for non bullshit data (Scale Ai). That along with Nvidia are the shovels in this gold rush.

Perhaps. But more like, there's a new boss who wants to understand the biz before doing any action. I've done this personally at a much smaller scale of course.

The index fund itself is mostly Tesla, FB, Google etc..at this point. 35% +/- in my quick check

This. TFA says this explicitly. Alexander Wang, the former Scale CEO is to approve any new hires. They're taking stock of internal staff + new acquisitions and how to rationalize before further steps. Now, I think AI investments are st

They grew too fast too quickly. Now the gravy train is too yummy to object to from within.

And according TFA, those poles and wires for transmission are a large part of the increase in costs that are forecasted. Ideally, the folks who request the new plants and transmission lines pay for them, but it appears tech cos are attempti

A bundle of streaming services. That you can surf and choose one from and just watch. And a TV guide that tells you what's running where. Gee...sounds a lot like Cable TV. Sarcasm aside, the one problem folks had with Cable was the ina

Flo shouldn't have sent those data to FB. That's true. Which is why they settled. But FB, having received this info proceeded to use it and mix it with other signals it gets. Which is what the complaint against FB alleged.

Two different issues IMO. Piracy is depriving someone of payment for an item for which payment was expected. Neither you nor Perplexity may pirate a DVD that you didn't buy. Copyright usually doesn't prevent copying per se, it&#x2

If you have documented proof, please do what the press release says, and ask that excess rents be refunded. Someone has to put comments, or else it will go through without a hitch. As required by the Tunney Act, the proposed settlement, alo

You need to broaden your horizons then - look at the medical plans that are on offer in India. Or the travel medical insurance that every EU country requires you to carry. They are classic insurance. Having a kid without complications shoul

by prasadjoglekar 1y ago
Au contraire, that is much closer to the definition of insurance. We don't want people to get bankrupt with an unforseen medical issue like cancer. Insurance should cover that. Routine care, including shit that's a little unlucky

This is the definition of an asset bubble in my books. In 2007 +/-, this is exactly what happened with housing prices. People would buy an asset and watch it appreciate doing nothing. Why go to your forklift operator job at Home Depot

Un redeemed gift cards are a liability for the issuer in perpetuity in many US states including CA. In many others the expiry is at least 5 years from the date of issuance.

Having looked at Solar for my house in NY, I can only summarize as this: Solar tax credits are subsides for the well off. The poorest folks can't afford the cash cost of panels and don't have enough taxable income to use the offse

Bingo; and one side's legitimate outreach appears to the other side to be blatant propaganda. Paid or unpaid. That's the normal nature of democracy; it's a contact sport. It's better if people see all messages with prope

IP addresses are quite static. Most phones and laptops come "home" once a day and get attached to the home IP. Do it for long enough and you can household all the other IP v6s, MACs etc. that are untethered.

While partially true in hindsight, letting China into the WTO, removing tariffs and giving them MFN status was a bipartisan effort beginning in the 80s and 90s. The premise was that China's market would open for US goods and services a

Encryption itself is a form of speech. Therefore the govt can't force you to decrypt. Guarantee is too strong of a word, but this is the concept.

Indeed, and failing to name and punish the individuals in question means the rest of profession is now bearing a collective weight going forward.

Well, "fact checkers" like Politifact are precisely what are considered biased themselves. Sampling from a biased dataset still shows the same bias. https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/items/8f9a6f3b-efd7-46f3-b4be
