No, I wouldn't be ok with that :-) perhaps I overstated my case a bit.

I don't understand why everybody thinks this fee is outrageous. These lawyers just saved Tesla's shareholders way, way more than that. Pay $6 billion to get $50 billion? I'll do that deal all day long and twice on Sundays

Who gets to decide how much everybody "deserves" for their work? Answer, the payer and the payee. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

No doubt there are many, many other varieties of humans which we'll never know about because we'll never find any bones. What chilling is that shows very clearly that humans can go extinct. In fact, humans go extinct all the time

Ask a lawyer. It varies from state to state, but in CA they can fire you any time for any reason. Some call it inhumane, some call it efficient capitalism, but it is what it is. P.S. Condolences man--I had to take a year off for health re

Yeah, but the original commenter's objection was it seems weird to, e.g. use a 6-dimensional space to represent 3-dimensional quantities. Doing it by using vectors and covectors still requires you to keep track of 6 degrees of freedo

When you are programming, you have to figure out: 1. What quantity you want to calculate, and 2. What the most efficient way to calculate it is. PGA (once you spend the--alas--not insubstantial overhead to understand it!) is a really good

Of course they are not going to announce they are getting out of CPUs before their new business is fully in place!! Everyone would instantly stop buying Intel CPUs and their revenue would go to zero. But make no mistake, Intel knows when

Geometric Algebra was a complete mystery to me until I finally realized: it is just polynomial multiplication, but with some quantities for which the order of multiplication matters, and which have a weird multiplication table: i*i = 1, i

This reminds me of the oil curse. After a country discovers it has lots of oil, it nukes every other sector of their economy. Why? Because there's nothing you can invest your money in which would give you a larger return than oil.

Of course, it has nothing to do with rampant fraud, unreproducible results, incentive structures which reward the number of papers over the quality of papers, having researchers spend their prime scientific years writing grant proposals ins

Hmmmm…….if I understand correctly, fast food prices have increased faster than general CPI? This could be explainable by fast food prices returning to historical norms, after being abnormally low, no?

There have been substantial wage increases, in a rather tight labor market. Both of these factors would conspire to limit scalability: if you can’t find more workers or if they are too expensive, you can’t scale.

by rhelz 3y ago
Fast food prices have been unhistorically low for a few decades, due to a combination of increasing worker productivity and suppressed demand due to the great recession. Three bean burritos at Taco bell costs $1.89 where I lived from 1992 t

Surely this says more about the value of SPEC benchmarks than it does about the “fairness” of the compiler.

Really, there is no good technical solution for this, because in part, it is not even a technical problem. The laws about timezones, etc, very from country to country, from year to year etc. And some parts of the world are claimed by two

I'm thinking about how LLMs like chatGPT did a complete end-run around the more historical attempts of formulating a grammar, translating English into some kind of logical form, using that to query a database, etc etc.
