Is it really not clear from context? "If introverts made an effort to be more extroverted, would it make them more successful?" Success I don't know what OP meant, but pay, seniority, I don't know that it changes the ans

Yeah but the statement in question is (quote) "you can be EQUALLY successful as an introvert" - and we're talking about whether people should, generally, strive to be more extroverted at work. That there exists a successful i

Apart from the line "does it help in some ways, sure" the overall message of their post is that the author is wrong and that you can be equally successful without being sociable, which is a general statement. It's not really

Are you not generalising in the same way? Because you are introverted and successful, does that mean extroversion is bad advice for all?

This sounds naive. Most companies have some degree of 'politics' which is essentially people working in their own interests over the company's. This is somewhat unrelated to skills and value. Also particularly in large organi

Can confirm this, LLMs write almost exclusively in broken polars. However I convert pandas files to polars semi-regularly, and it's still a hell of a lot faster to get an LLM to write the first draft and correct the 4 or 5 attribute er

FWIW Nate Silver also said don't trust any polls this year, and his gut was with Trump.

Exactly, unless you rerun with a "popular vote wins" election - it's not concrete at all. The campaigns would not have been run in the same way, and the people would not vote in the same way. I say this every election when de

Yeah even the article says that X execs were the ones that pushed for this. Other than editorialised headlines this seems like a total win.

Yes I don't think they invent words, that really would be bad.

But what are you suggesting? It wouldn't be better if Venezuela had its language dictated by another country (e.g. Spain) - that would just be oppressive.

France has a mechanism to try to stop this: the Académie Française [1] that publishes the official French dictionary. Rather than simply recording language as its used, they do actively try to steer it. They're most well known for tryi

Yeah I can relate! I've also heard Conan O'Brien say this before, he thinks that a big source of his comedy is just his brain outright not understanding things correctly.

I think "incongruity theory", that the article is alluding to, does actually apply to most of these. You're focusing on the context rather than the actual underlying mechanism driving the joke. e.g. the first one "bullyi

But what's the alternative here? "We spent longer than was minimally viable but we still don't have a good idea if it has market fit"-product? In my experience the code usually gets binned whether the idea gets traction

I think it's rarely valid to compare countries' economics to your own personal finance, macroeconomics are a lot more complicated. Example: for employed people, going into (or avoiding) debt generally won't affect their yearl

Not particularly, only thing I can think of is if we analysed it and saw there was some bias in the digits, but no one expects that (pi should be a 'normal number' [1]). I think they did it as a flex of their hardware. [1] https:

You're using "AI" quite broadly here. Here's a perspective from computer vision (my field). For decades, CV was focused on trying to 'understand' how to do the task. This meant a lot of hand crafting of low lev

The paper I linked should hopefully mark me out as far from an AI apologist, it's actually really bad news for GenAI if correct. All I mean to say is the clickbait conclusion and the evidence do not match up.

Entertaining, but I think the conclusion is way off. > their vision is, at best, like that of a person with myopia seeing fine details as blurry is a crazy thing to write in an abstract. Did they try to probe that hypothesis at all? I co

Not sure I understand your argument - from a customer perspective why is the service worse, and why do you believe that it has BECOME worse?

If all humans could echo-locate except a subset who couldn't, I would say that group is at a small disadvantage, yes, because the set of things the main group can do is 'objectively' greater. I don't know how relevant it
