Well, one could start by looking at how their total employee counts have changed between now and the beginning of the pandemic. I’d be surprised if the multiple rounds of layoffs has left them with fewer total employees than January 2020.

In the context of competitive events, it probably makes sense to use "table tennis," simply because there is one notable event that uses "ping pong" to refer specifically to different set of rules and equipment (the Worl

Assuming that local models are able to stay within some reasonably fixed capability delta of the cutting edge hosted models (say, 12 months behind), and assuming that local computing hardware stays relatively accessible, the only risk is

It's not clear to me that a large portion of people are using them as a replacement for treating underlying symptoms. I suspect in a large portion of cases, treating the underlying symptoms is difficult and/or costly, and thus t

That's a perfectly reasonable opinion for you to have.

Well, I suspect it is how a relatively free market would work.

From what I've seen, I have no reason to expect that a cheap new Chinese EV sold in the U.S. would be meaningfully lower quality than a cheap new American car.

You can't fill up your gas tank at home or at work, which is presumably where a significant portion of EV drivers charge their cars.

I'm talking about the literal process of forking an open source project. You're just making a copy of a set of files.

by tshaddox 6mo ago
The cost of forking open source code was always effectively zero.

I don't like this argument either, but in its defense, it's presumably comparing modern web page source code not to Java, but to historical web page source code.

It also implies that most normal work isn't in the interest of society, which if that were true, would be a major problem on its own. In what sense is 2 years of military service or "community service" strictly better for soc

According to your proposal, phase angle must not be dimensionless, right?

Why are you asking “what happened each second” for the SI unit hertz, but not asking “what happened for a second” for the SI unit second? The hertz is dimensionally identified as 1/T, and the second is dimensionally identified as T. Th

I've been interested in these cute little things since they were first announced, but I still haven't pulled the trigger on the 229 USD price tag. Apparently with the education discount they're 195 USD, which still feels stee

Pretty sure with air travel it's just a security issue, and all the other ones you can totally do.

How much of the price reduction is directly attributable to externalities, for example the fact that to replace the lifetime of one expensive item there are going to be 10 cheap versions of the item tossed in the trash?

I think there are also 2 senses in which it's difficult to determine quality. The first sense is just that many things require expert attention, special tools, and or a lot of time to evaluate the quality. And for niche items, there mi

Your legal analysis is very much incorrect. The U.S. will prosecute you for money laundering if you e.g. provide an illegal service, receive payment for that illegal service in bitcoins, then use a bitcoin mixing service, and then finally e

Good luck convincing the government that you aren’t guilty of money laundering because you used bitcoins.

I’m pretty sure the hope isn’t that burning some coins tanks the price. The point is that publicly demonstrating that you can crack wallet keys is what tanks the price.

I would be surprised if the U.S. legal system requires itself to list every possible mechanism by which someone might steal money.
