I'm curious how this linting step scales with larger wikis. Looking for an inconstency across N files requires N*N comparisons, and that's assuming each file contains a single idea.
They are not entitled to a moat, and their customers do not owe them one. Several companies have narrow or no moats. Dell and HP are two examples when it comes to their PC business. This idea that companies should be…
Yes, because if that was their sales pitch, they would need to pay Kim more, and they would have to account for the fact that she's already allocated elsewhere. It's better to pretend all those CCAs are interchangeable.
You must consider yourself so clever.
Adding new features doesn't necessarily grow the market. Your bread with nuts and berries competes with the regular bread for the customer's money. Other things also compete for the same money, such as medical, daycare,…

Human beings are able to work out the ambiguity because a lot of meaning is carried in shared context, which in turn arises out of cultural grounding. That achieves disambiguation, but only in a limited sense. If humans…
To reinforce that point: we've got the world's most prominent AI promoting company (MSFT), that has finally realized that Windows Explorer is too slow to start. And this company, with all the formidable powers of AI…

In the case of horses and cars, you need the same number of people to drive both (exactly one per vehicle). In the case of AI and automation, the entire economic bet is that agents will be able to replace X humans with…

And those humans would be looking for a new job or face other consequences. An AI model can merrily do this with zero consequences because no meaningful consequences can be visited upon it. Just like if any human…
India has not been antagonistic or ambivalent in its recent past, until a Nobel Peace Prize aspirant in the WH decided to take a machete to relations that both countries had been building for the last 25 years, with…
How do you know it isn't a backdoor? Do you have access to its source code? This kind of app should be be open source.
So the problem was not with the app but with how the information was routed at the back end. The back end of the 1909 system could have been modified to write the data to a central registry as well.
So it is the company prioritising their bottom line at the expense of their customer's computers. More simply, they move cost from their balance sheet and convert it into risk on the customer's end. Which is actively…
Again, there's probably a sense of responsibility towards the people moving through the airports who otherwise would be facing much greater risk to their lives. As a non American who's having to transit the country…
I guess the people in this instance realise they're an essential service for the economy and that without them, a lot of people could actually die. So they probably see their role as being more than simply working for…

Brenda's job involves being accountable for the output. In many types of jobs, posting false numbers would render her liable for a dismissal, lawsuit, or even jail. I'd like to see the cost of a model where the model…
Gen AI doesn't just get a pass at being wrong. It gets a pass for everything. Look at Grok. If a human employee went around sexually harassing their CEO in public and giving themselves a Hitler nickname, they'd be fired…
Exactly. How is it that an org suddenly discovered thousands of employees are under performers? And how is it that the number of under performers coincides with the number McKinsey and Co (or similar company) said it…
My theory is that when an organization descends into a cycle of repetitive downsizings, it inevitably leads to people focusing more on protecting their jobs than on business value. By the process of natural selection,…
