If you opt out of the heated seat package when you purchase the car, that doesn't mean the manufacturer can't add that hardware in a disabled state. That also doesn't mean you own the heating feature after you opted out That&

It is significantly easier to get a $100k offer than a $600k one as a senior software engineer. Companies who offer lower pay fully understand they aren't poaching anyone from Meta or Netflix any time soon, and lower their bar in terms

The video algorithm is a lot more precise. If you spend ~3 seconds on 2 girl scout videos before swiping on, and less than 1 second on body building, you suddenly get a surge of girl scout videos like the whole app is sponsored by them. Som

The millions it takes to train OpenAI models is given by people who would like to get it back + some profits. Once the VCs start forcing the roadmap onto the employees, thats when customers get screwed over. So to be more precise, building
