This feels like the same type of critique people have about code-assistant LLMs. We need to be a lot more realistic about their role as a 'next-gen autocomplete' who can write some boilerplate code, not a replacement for a mid-le

I think there are many examples of"establishment" wrong, and this gets exposed by independent sources. But also when the establishment is correct, it still gets (incorrectly) exposed by independent sources. There's a nontrivi

I wouldn't be surprised if the 5% drop in "Data Scientists" is from the same role being up-branded as something like "AI/ML Engineer".

Maybe I'm just being shortsighted, but I don't see that as a good comparison to this, since we read books for a deep exploration of an idea by the author, not just for the idea. It's not about the rareness, or physical quali

Regardless of opinions surrounding Jan 6, I find it re-assuring that even with full face captured on photo, and the fact that many have a smartphone with them, the FBI is incapable of finding several of them after 2.5 years. I thought the

I don't think it's died off, rather it's found in more independent blogs/newsletters at this point. On one hand, the information is generally free and more accessible to a wider global audience, but maybe that exposure

I fail to see any value in trying to compare hugely diverse populations of hundreds of millions of people against each other and their ability to discuss nuanced political topics. It feels like you're just hashing out some intuitions

I'm not sure how culturally-specific this is, but as a foreigner living in France, I notice the majority of smokers I meet are those who smoke exclusively while drinking. So to that extent, they appear to have sufficient will-power to

I doubt the charging port is the most important factor in choosing a phone for most people. Similar to how I voted for Biden even though I don't agree with 100% of his policies. It doesn't mean I don't disagree with him ofte
