As long as you are classified as an at will employee you should give your employer at will loyalty. They don't owe you anything and you don't owe them anything either beyond the responsibilities of your job in exchange for whateve

Decades before that I used to be able to tell whether a show was on NBC, ABC, or CBS by the brightness and color balance. Now everything is murky because the networks don't really have their signature looks anymore and there are so man

Well, I don't see any reason to discontinue them as long as there are even bigger incentives for coal, oil, and gas. $5.9T in 2020 alone. https://e360.yale.edu/digest/fossil-fuels-received-5-9-trill... But what&#x

Yes, people cheat* because they are selfish, and any economic system has to take that into account which is where communism and libertarianism fall apart. But I thought we were talking about how if we have to wear stillsuits in the future,

Yes, that's exactly what happens when you try to create a zero wealth gap - people cheat. You are the one that brought up the zero wealth gap with "Is there zero wealth gap between people who shop at Walmart and the people who mak

Have you ever been to East Asia? They don't have the latest iPhones but they have a better cell phone network than the United States and cheap Android phones from which they do just about everything. You'll get four bars in the mi

I am done with this mindset. It is useless brow furrowing and knicker bunching that traps you in an endless doom cycle. One of the few things that still works about capitalism is you make an expensive toy, it catches on, and then it gets co

It pairs oddly with the NEM 3.0 proposal to de facto tax solar panels at $8 per kilowatt per month going forward because that seems like the only clean alternative that could charge a large battery to replace that generator. https:/&#

SHRDLU was a simple world you could manipulate with English prose back in the 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHRDLU Unless you feel you need flowery expressive input as well as output. But do we really need input

I would start with a rogue-like game and the hard part becomes generating the training data to describe in beautifully flowing prose what happens on a per move basis. Enter your patient friend who offers to do this and has run lots of campa

There are plenty of liberal YIMBYs out there getting c___blocked by bipartisan NIMBYs who don't want anything to happen to the monotonically increasing value of their real estate. But also, we have plenty of land if we could do somethi

You would have to retrain the model to incorporate a global context if you wanted to get a coherent adventure / DMing experience out of it. Once the text tokens (256-2048 depending on the model I believe) go out of scope, they are no l

Was this the same kind of true in 2017? Because that's not how it was portrayed to the person getting the offer. Also going out of my way not to give away too much information unless you vindictive little s___s retaliate against the pe

We are talking about supposed "top" people who are critical hires here. Such offers go directly to Mark Zuckerberg and he has to approve them personally. And it was $3M in order to beat Google when someone I know got one of those

Lame... Zuck can pay them $3M a year if they're really "top" engineers. They should defect. What would be news is giving that kind of bonus RSUs to the rank and file. And oh yes downvote the truth. Can't have Meta's

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for this and it's absolutely true. Cue the pedants nitpicking every word of the story below. We could do so much better here but we choose otherwise despite the highest state income tax

I would love to have found that magical car battery that doesn't die after 5 years or so. But the real comedy is that my EV is required to have one of them independent of all the lithium batteries, and if it discharges/fails, it&#

And that's why you probably should have had a separate account for running your business. I don't use Facebook for anything except some of the groups that remain there and which are relevant to my hobbies. Strong opinions get you

I'm intensely active and my body is great for now. But it's not going to be great forever. And I could probably afford longevity treatments to add a decade or two. But I'm disinclined to do so right now if things keep proceed
