Can you insist or put instructions that AIs do not train on your code? If they train on your code but don't produce the exact same output, is there any protection you can have from that?

They aren't, but that's what the customers want. They don't care about all this generative stuff, what they really care about is getting answers to questions. This is the expectation and whoever cracks this reliably will be t

Does this mean that stem cells cannoot become any type of cell? Certainly this should have been easy to test over the last 22 years?

I'm not sure what the job market is like in Europe, but in the US it's the worst job market I've seen since the dotcom bust. The job market isn't worse than the Dotcom bust but it's worse than the Financial crisis f

Carly Fiorina successfully and completely dismantled "The HP Way" which was the root of Silicon Valley. After her, HP was nothing but a carcass and filled with opportunistic people that destroyed the company. HP looks at their cus

Another huge problem is the extreme left wing political bias almost everything has on the front page. I'm a centrist but the violently left views of everything on the front page is really offputting and I used to love reddit.

Are you really accusing the left-leaning American Bar Association of supporting Trump?

No, YOU are misrepresenting the Mueller findings. As per the American Bar Association: The special counsel found that Russia did interfere with the election, but “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired

Replacing the wires cost half as much as adding new wires. So I think it actually makes more sense to add new wires. It will give some level of redundancy for only double cost and you don't need to impact current electricity delivery.

They should just fix Siri and iTunes. Siri is shockingly useless. If Siri were even a little more useful I would get a Home Pod but it's utterly useless for most things except setting timers and turning on lights.

Any guide or blog post on how to interview that doesn't compare interview notes to performance reviews after hiring someone is basically bullshit. Anyone can write a blog post about what they think is a good interview but there's

Credit cards are the best place for an emergency fund. You still all your cash in US-Treasuries, gaining 5+ % interest with no federal tax, and as secure as anything in the world. Then if an emergency comes up, use your credit cards, and yo

It's interesting how you're creating an argument out of thin air. The article was about mining comments for AI, not about advertisement. Yet you brought in the topic of advertisement, and then created a fake argument about how peo

Someone should create a bot that responds to highly upvoted comments and remind the redditor that Reddit is making money off the comment and the information is being used by AI and they aren't seeing a dime of it.

I deleted TikTok and Instagram, and my screen time dropped by 4 hours a day. That's 28 hours a week. I didn't realize how much time I spent on it, but it makes sense because I would watch it as soon as I woke up and before I went

I thought I read that Signal has some funding by the US government. Was that not correct?

My friend's son, who is low-functioning, doesn't talk. He grunts. He is 11 and is a big child and has become increasingly violent. When he was smaller the violence was manageable, but he is over 100 lbs and strong. He sleeps about

If your first child is autistic then the chances of your second child being autistic skyrocket to well over 50%. The problem is that a lot of autistic symptoms don't show up until you've already had your second kid.

I'm a classic Liberal, but I've never been convinced by the man-made climate change argument. I've always been much, much more concerned about pollution and chemicals in our environment, but that seems to never be addressed.

Every PM who worked on iTunes should be cancelled from the tech industry. Having iTunes on your resume should be the Mark of Cain as far as I'm concerned. I've never had the displeasure of working on a more terrible piece of softw

Another garbage "how to hire!" article with no data to back it up, just a bunch of opinions. There's nothing to indicate whether what this person suggests has any success whatsoever and no data to back it up. How many times

Because no one that matters cares about a company that makes $10 million per year, neither the cofounders nor the board. Everyone wants 100x that because they want to become 9 figure wealthy or more. Better to close down, fuck the customers

Can they just do one more #YOLO flight at a high speed and high altitude as possible and see what happens? Seems more useful and fun than just leaving it to rot.
