I don't know what your intention is in sharing this video, but isn't his response to the question posed perfectly reasonable? Al Gore has spent his life fighting climate change, believes we can combat it, and has personally invest

Under cross-examination, he spoke not only about George Soros and overly potent marijuana, but also his taste for zebra meat and canned exotic game hunts, and confirmed that a big bowl of hot Texas chili caused him to forget d

If anyone wants to play around with designing CRISPR guides, check out the Desktop Genetics website[1] I work in the R&D side of the company, but our front end team has built a really nice website to design CRISPR gene knock-out/kn

The Goldman Sachs graduate training program is a joke. Having gone through it, I doubt that technical training is even the point of it. I think they just get everyone together to have a big holiday so that when the graduates start real work

Yes I completely agree. People aren't told what to code, they're told what products to build. To go between those two things surely requires an almost general AI. Btw, very tangentially, did you used to work in a startup with a ce

I don't believe programmers will be completely replaced by AI for a very very long time. Suppose such an AI exists, one that can write perfect code and get the job done. How do you tell the AI what to code? Any language specific and ac

This is a very naive interpretation of the game of poker. Professional human players are already very good at calculating the percentages, and any joe playing from his computer has access to a calculator. The reason why simply playing the n
