There is a big difference between a general 27,000 layoffs and a significant portion of key senior engineers walking out. Dysfunctional management could fail to grasp that and the company could continue to coast in the short term with happy

I dunno, on paper maybe but in practice N64 look no better or worse than PS1, textures were very low quality (I think it was a texture cache size problem). Games like MGS or Vagrant Story looked better than anything on the N64 for me.

Yeah I don't believe trying to contain cheating and dishonesty to specific contexts can last, from my limited experience for people who do this it inevitably starts to leak to other aspects of their life. Shielding behind organized str

From https://taxfoundation.org/historical-income-tax-rates-bracke... the answer is between 1936 and 1981 (as a high as 90% for the highest bracket from 1941 to 1963).

I found doing a custom (without a library) OAuth integration for only one service relatively straightforward, i.e. when it’s not treated as a standard. For example for a plug-in exclusively for Shopify (random example, didn’t try it) you wo

It was not some anecdotal fact that Bard got wrong, it was during their official public demo. It was a "scandal" because it showed Google was indeed unprepared and had no better product, not even preparing and fact checking their

Good for everyone except maybe advertisers, because these talents will maybe serve something useful instead.

The situation is trickle down from laissez-faire is definitely proven wrong just by the situation we are in and is the starting point of the discussion. Tax is just a tool to correct the failure of the system of failing to correctly redistr

Better distribution is through capital tax, not income tax. Taxing workers even more is the opposite of sharing productivity gains captured by shareholders. Are capital gains and dividends taxed at least at 70% in Sweden?

> The fancy cars, big houses, exotic vacations aren't that great. The lack of slavery is. I think that's the point, the former is all about status, but the real goal is not to show off but be relatively free, you still need mon

This is not about not having basic needs poor, it's about being middle class and chasing riches, expensive cars, homes, clothes, thinking life is about this and it will bring you happiness. Rich people surely aren't qualified to k

That makes me think, why not concentrate the effort on regulating the usages instead of regulating the technology itself? Seems not too far fetched to have rules and compliance on how LLM are permitted to be used in critical processes. Ther

I heard Zuck is behaving more like a majority shareholder than a CEO in day to day operations and management, Meta restructuring is handled by a consulting a firm. Could be wrong though.

I don’t see the problem with LLM having a world model and superhuman intelligence without sentience. It seems very unlikely sentience comes from computation and that it’s not a physical property: why would only certain Boolean or mathematic

For years I made the error of learning music theory without enough ear training. You have to hear and feel the theory, it's not only intellectual. Then I found 2 exercises are all I needed for playing and composing music by ear: - Func

Mention of the chip industry makes it hard to take the source as unbiased from US side. Other comments were more insightful on the perspective of Taiwanese and on the cultural and historical aspects.

I can confirm that even in a small town you can go crazy consuming too much news and social media. But then I lived most of my life in big cities, and for me moving in a rural community a few steps from the forest where I can walk between t

Musician is not only performing an instrument. The analogy is more like telling instruments players that only care about virtuosity the larger point is making music for people to enjoy, from being “a guitarist” to making music. The musical

Delivered value sounds like consultant talk, but it’s as simple as wanting to make a game for people to play it. Or if you’re a carpenter caring about the roof you’re building instead of just cutting wood and hammering nails. Jobs exists to

Weird take on social policies, or maybe I misunderstand. Giving basic food, shelter and health care is not socialism. Thinking these basics are socialism is indeed the problem and why the US is destabilizing itself with now a good part of t

Dumb question but is just keeping customers funds without investing them (even in bonds) and just collecting fees not a viable business model for banks? Is it a necessity or greed?

There is an intermediate solution that seems always conveniently ignored: You ask for taxpayers money to save a business and its employees? Then it’s a good old nationalization. Everyone is happy except shareholders and execs that are right

In that context no it’s the same thing. It’s profitability and balanced books (liabilities matching assets) that are different. A business can be profitable and insolvent if cash flow temporarily dries (e.g. you can’t hold employee salaries

You still own the domain and are free to setup another hosting with the same address. With Gmail if you're banned it's over you lose access to everything and have to manually reach to all your contacts.

OT but if your French is decent and in a few years you get tired of city life maybe keep the French countryside in sight, outside of Paris it's a different country.
