Well, you need many fewer people to do the same amount of work. In America in particular, there isn't enough income or jobs in the low/no skill area to survive. Suicide and deaths of despair rates amongst middle-aged and older in

Other than hobgoblins of this clickbait, press-release-plagiarizing reporter's mind, what is the exact risk this supposed existential "catastrophe" other than climate change, pandemics, or massive income inequality that alrea

If anyone in the US ever wanted to become vegetarian, I suggest they drive through Greeley, Colorado past the lines of cattle cars waiting to enter the slaughterhouses. Their nose may curse them, however.

The problem of running out of money, be it a startup, a business, a nonprofit social venture, or a software project, is losing the ability to support the mission and probably losing the ability to deliver the services behind it. It's w

I recall a sad point to this case captured on surveillance video: As Bob Lee was bleeding out, he went to driver for aid who ignored him and fled the scene. Shouldn't they be arrested and charged for failure to render aid? Perhaps he w

It's overcomingbias.com but not usingnuance.com. The enabling of generative fakes, automated actions, and replication of human-like works in little time are the main concerns.

Nope. MDE is shitty. It pushes updates to millions/billions of machines without sufficient testing and monitoring. There was a MDE bug that caused Chrome to crash whenever dragging tabs. Another time, MDE also appeared to "remove&

It's 5.5 MW. That's not how power or energy works. 5 [W*hr/day] (Kept in energy units per interval rather than average power). 200e6 users/day who surf for maybe 4 hours/day 5 * 200e6 * 4 / 24 = 133 [MW*hr/

Correct me if I'm wrong: Anthropic is a startup working to develop guardrails for real AI concerns. In general, how does one put "business rule"-type constraints on the output of models? Is there any way to bake-in prime dire

FDIC thresholds are de facto meaningless and expose litigation risks for selective non-coverage. Is there any downside to FDIC expanding policy to state "All deposits are covered, regardless of amount"? This is effectively already

You don't. You can sort of emulate it with services that stateless, load-balanced, and L7 proxied. If you want stateful zero downtime deployments, use Elixir or Erlang that has the ability to live migrate data from one version of cod

That doesn't scale because it makes merging and file navigation nearly impossible, and the increased cognitive load is too much for anything real. Encapsulate functionality and break it into logical containers. That's what modules

The COVID economic policies lead to a K-shaped recovery. It was a money-printing bonanza that didn't do enough for average people while transferring wealth to the very top. This was layered on top of near 0% free money and QE. It feels

Well, 20 years ago, that's basically how it was. Picking the folds of the structure, often by hand, and applying a fixed set of rules in a p-chem simulator by computer to see if it worked. AI produces the ability to automate the entire

"President Carter took [a boat to work] away." Wow, she enlisted at 37 in 1944. That's impressive. EDIT: I hate to #nit god like Comic Book Guy, but a picosecond is a trillionth of a sec and femtosecond is a quadtrillionth.
