I politely disagree. If you think “hours spent at desk” correlates with performance, I don’t really know what to tell you. I do work late, and over my career have absolutely pulled all nighters and weekends and been on the redeye, but that’

My barter system of growing vegetables to trade with managed just fine too. But it was useless for buying gas with, unfortunately.

At first I kinda recoiled at the horror of 1990s color. But then, yeah, it loads fast and does what it needs to do. I don’t think I’d want my taxpayer money getting some hip design studio to “modernize” it.

Fellow and VP are not the same track. L8 is director level. So L10 might be both fellow and VP, given that Senior Director exists so is probably L9

They mostly are. You don’t need laws… when you want good data center distribution you’re going to be putting DCs where the grid can’t support such a step change in consumption. So they need new energy production, and it’s typically going to

It’s so bizarre my first reaction was that surely it must be so an LLM can make some kind of sense of it, otherwise what on earth are they doing?

Oh no no no. They’ll still collect data about people. Just not security logs that could indicate an incident. Double loss for privacy.

That’s really interesting, I haven’t spent much time looking at the data from the landing impact. I’m also not confident in my skills to translate G-forces into velocities or such. I guess it depends largely on what type of surface it lands

I built the fauxtato a while back; a small capsule to simulate a potato but with a 32g accelerometer (8g is wildly insufficient) and WiFi to be able to log data and make basic analyses about different cannon & fuel usage. Really interes

The data disagrees with you, significantly. Level 5 technology is only improving, and you’ll regress over time. A waymo never loses focus or gets distracted or tired in the way humans always will.

Crime, whether CSAM or drugs or theft, all have a component in the real-world: it’s never purely in messaging. Stop the CSAM where it’s being created. Catch the drug manufacturers and distributors. Etc. do police work.

Not really - a bug bounty gives you some type of currency. Jacking a database and trying to sell it on a DLS or dark web is a massive process.

I suspect there’s a few factors preventing that - cost of server capacity, the UX of higher latency (it would be for possibly all ML stuff?)

The Xperia has/had a proprietary Sony-Ericsson OS. But your point is moot anyhow; Sony can’t innovate. So they’ll regulate their way back to awesomeness?

Never works this way. Efficiency gains will result in the expectation of doing more. Maybe that “more” will be in other areas of the business or economy and thus lead to less headcount, but given how profitable tech is.. I’d assume they’d b

Because Sony phones were clearly excellent which is why everyone bought them, and made them the success they are today? What exactly do you want out of “lots of competition”?
