If I put goalposts ahead of the ball every time I kick it, can I be said to be accurate? If we don't specify what the actual goal is before calling something an improvement, can we say we are doing anything meaningful?

So why am I getting passed up for product manager positions? Is this problem not recognized in industry or is there more to the story?

This is the issue with first-order thinking: if you assume all other factors as constant, then sure, increase in demand with no change in supply is a problem. Domestic policy, especially around jobs and employment, has been hostile to domes

Why would you jump to the conclusion that a bankruptcy after 1.5 years is the fault of the underlings and not of leadership? Especially in such a shifty, cutthroat, regulated, and nuanced industry as fintech.

It's a curious division between "old internet" and "new internet" (those on the *chans may have parallel but slightly different terminology for this dichotomy) to see people use BBS-style vs IRC-style emotive expres

3000 lb sounds like a secondary concern until you consider the wages and benefits of facilities folks. Some will see this as a strong argument for workers' rights, some will see it as a strong argument for robotic workers. Some will ig

That's what estimation and simulation is for. Obviously that's not what's happening in TFA but it's perfectly plausible today. Not sure how people are concluding that realistic physics is feasible operating solely in pix

Yes and in that time we've learned some important lessons that it would be unwise to ignore, e.g. comprehension of 3D geometry despite 2D input visual data.

Scaling laws operate in the limit but eventually practical considerations dominate. There's a lot we haven't yet fully appreciated about biological vision and cognition -- and indeed, common sense as regards sensible video generat

That seems like quite the reach, but we will see if it really is just "all you need is scale".

You can simulate materials, apply the wave equation, and get "layers" that compute outputs from given inputs, each modeled as points in space. It may be possible to manufacture such layers with metamaterials or something like that

That's nice in theory, but can you say that Google does things that actually achieve that trifecta?

The gentrifier label comes when you complain about things that have been neighborhood fixtures without engaging with your neighbors before deciding that your feelings matter more than theirs.

No, it's much more than that. Matrix is fancy IRC.

Sure there will be many moving parts to any successful recovery, but we should be careful. The cure for heat stroke isn't a freedive in arctic waters. Be wary of anyone who makes singular arguments.
