Likely because the forces accruing more poverty grossly outweigh the forces fighting against them. Also, these kind of programs are unlikely to make much dent in the most visible poverty. Inveterate drug addicts or the mentally ill don&#x27

I don't believe Assange ever believed in a noble cause. He did what he did for personal vanity and any good he did in the world is purely by coincidence. When he blamed the DNC hack on Seth Rich he had an opportunity to do the right th

Or like read the Mueller Report which paints him squarely as a villain. He worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election in Trump's favor and then tried to blame Seth Rich. I absolutely cannot fathom how so many people still worshi

I think that's overblown as a concern. It's acceptable to have some degree is misuse if it's still a net positive. Some degree of fraud is baked in to any human endeavor.

I think there is also a phenomenon where bits of the human condition are given a label and then suddenly sprouting a subculture on the internet where people get excited to be part of something special. Some kind of disease fetish.

It's a spectrum and I think your experience is probably typical. A minority of people see nothing and another minority of people see vivid images. Most people get varying degrees of fuzziness.

It's funny because I was using Langchain recently and found the most confusing part to be the inheritance model and what type was meant to fill which function in the chain. Using Java would make it impossible to mistype an object even

This is a big issue with podcast analytics since most downloads come via podcast apps that don't allow any client code at all. We only have server logs to go off of and hence problems like NAT are essentially unsolvable.

I think that's very true. And it applies to film and other media as well. There's vastly more content available to far larger audiences than ever. There may very well be more concentration on the business side, but not on the crea

Sure, but that's probably still just sample bias of presidents all being at least mostly anglo-saxon. Probably everyone on the British Isles is related to King John.

The fact this report is coming from a commercial enterprise and not a university is pretty encouraging. Obviously it could still just be PR, but they likely wouldn't be touting this unless they expected to bring it to mass production.

If I could channel some of my less imaginative QA colleagues, it's not a bug if it's not specified in the acceptance criteria. A bug is something contrary to the expected output. If the AI tool producers never cared about bias, th

It also seems the Fed can just absorb whatever it needs to. And it's not like Japan needed to be a global reserve currency to sustain massive debt. De-dolarization seems unlikely to cost much aside from prestige.

If you read tales of the taking MSLT on /r/narcolepsy, you'll see it's a very common phenomenon. Obviously, a sample bias of people with heavily disordered sleep, but man it was so confusing. They turn off the lights, th

It's more platform lock-in and it leverages their market position. Unabashed monopolism. Completely unchastened by recent lawsuits.

Curious if anyone here has quit due to RTO and, if so, did you make it clear on the way out? I'm going through it right now. Our company is pushing RTO and the policy is really senseless. We're not purely a tech company and the CE

It's easy to paint a conspiracy picture. Most boards are not in commercial real estate and certainly not enough to force CEOs to act against the interest of their company. They're doing this because they believe in it. Lots of peo

Didn't mean to imply one person funds the whole thing out of their pocket, but it's likely that the chairman, Paul Sagan, is both giving a ton and recruiting a lot of other wealthy people. Maybe a quarter or less of revenue comes

I'm here for it. Drones don't lose their temper or confuse a flashlight for a gun. And maybe we'll finally have the surveillance power to enforce traffic safety rules for real.

This sounds less dramatic than the headline. They executed a search warrant for some information. Doesn't sound like they're close to charging anything.

Despite headlines, air travel gets safer and safer every year. At least when measured by fatalities per departure. Boeing has had several high profile failures, but it's correlated with a huge increase in flights and a huge increase in
