Even when you know it’s fake, the whole thing is very disconcerting. I received a scam call ostensibly from a local utility and filed an identity theft report with local police naming the utility as “victim”. The caller even told me where t

This time won’t be like the last. The point of such episodes is to destroy capital. A rational response would be to de-lever before everyone else. Focus on the meaningful and the productive in the near-term, disregard promises about the fut

Thinking is slippery as a concept, but feelings are what they’re usually after, and these can be remarkably deterministic by other than mental processes. The study of Israeli judges was debunked, but I think we all have experienced this a

That’s very interesting! I’ve been sleuthing for personal reasons and I’ve recently arrived at the central nervous system element called the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), which integrates sensory processes including pain reception. I

Unfortunately, you are not correct.[1] Recording police in a public place-- sure. Otherwise, eh, at best you're over-extrapolating (and ungenerously!) from your local circumstance. [1] https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide

Funny, whenever they show the CCTV footage it doesn't seem to have any sound.... Secretly recording voices is a felony is many places in 'merica.

It’s expensive to provide parking and in a place like Cambridge. They’ve already stuffed cars in every available nook and cranny. Did you think they should just let you park in Cambridge Common, Harvard Yard or the Charles River park? Why p

Strange the Soviets would fetishize a strategy they defeated in WWII. It actually fails in all scenarios. If the West perceived the Soviets as rational— which they did— they would not at all expect the Russians to trigger MAD. In an acute

You have agreed with my comment that the event would not be survivable by society . Duck-and-cover drills are for those who you call civilians, who will not survive. At best they invite the misinterpretation that such an event is survivabl

A tornado leaves only local destruction. Duck-and-cover implies that with proper preparation, total thermonuclear war is survivable by a society, which is not the correct mindset.

If folks corrupt the integrity of LLM responses, as it were, they’ll destroy the value proposition. More likely the model will be payment for low friction enablement of transactions rather than overt steering. Pick Door #1: the LLM states t

I take this as a contrarian signal that Meta has hit serious roadblocks improving their AI despite massive data advantages and are throwing a bunch of "Hail Mary" desperation passes to achieve meaningful further progress.

Samsung botched UI 7.0.[1] Their approach to UI 8.0 is more of the same. Removing features is one thing, this is something worse. [1] https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/One-UI-7-0-Up...

Could be worse. They could assign demeaning titles "Junior Assistant", "Compliance Associate",etc. I think title inflation is a charming sign of an organization trying show respect to its workers.
