I'm not a business analyst but my amateur impression was that it was a project that was commandeered by delusional MBA types who didn't have the least clue about the actual technology and were feeding off each other's hype. I

Watson was supposed to be that OpenAI, much bigger too* Given that they had almost a decade head start, many thousands of programmers and a massive hype machine, and managed to fail completely, it's safe to say that whatever AI insight

Yup (article has a clickbait title because they actually say to each their own). After a routine many years, I started hanging out with someone who is really really good at choosing the next adventure and it's addictive . It's di

No it's not. It's kicking the can down the road a little bit. Worldwide the fertility is plummeting, it's already below replacement in most countries that used to stream people into the US: Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, etc, not t

Why do you say that? Did i claim that all humans are fishermen? No orcas do anything else their entire lives, but less than 1% of humans are fishermen (and still negligible even if you include all ranching and agriculture in modern countrie

I hate dealers as much as anyone else, but isn't that a supply problem, not a dealers problem? Also varying with time depending on supply and demand?

for some reason there is a lot of hate for PayPal among the US fintech startups... at least the ones i've dealt with... which I always thought as strange since whatever their flaws they do have half a billion money-moving users, which

here is an actual failure: when i'm looking at say Meta salaries, i still see no indicator or filter of how recent this data is. Are the numbers that they are showing an average of all reports starting from 2007? which may have like do

Among other things, tons of desktop software and most mobile apps and even javascript you run from most websites is obfuscated. How is it possible to avoid that? Do you run 100% open source for everything with javascript disabled?

Similar to the Morris worm, it might be interesting to experiment with an AI-based self-morphing virus that doesn't just modify its body, but scans the latest public and private lists like OWASP and Shodan, and uses something like Chat

That's harsh! started reading about it and things like suffocating with gas or electrocution baths in addition to that. I wonder why a jolt to the head cow stun-gun style is not used, whether industrial or on private farms. Too difficu

Once vegans take over the world, there will be no reason (and no economic basis) for chickens or cows to exist at all. But there will be less methane emissions and animal suffering. Come to think of it, the best to live is some place like t

After a miserable experience with Dyson 360 Eye will avoid this like the plague. It was impossible to buy any replacements or parts like worn-out brushes, etc. It's like they didn't care about people using their robot at all, like

I don't know much about that, but according to your hypothetical, people who have to put up several or more million dollars of their own money to raise a fund will move to Austin to save ~$500k on housing? to be close to other investor
