This thread is cluing me in that I need new wording to describe my rare consumption of alcohol.
It’s tempting to anthropomorphize a company like Google, and assume that every behavior is part of some evil master plan. Just as often, it’s some small group of people within the company making a dumb mistake. I’d…
The common pattern of requiring three days a week of in-office time makes it much harder.
When a large institution is faced with uncertainty about the future, it’s both feasible and prudent to make plans that account for multiple future outcomes. In this case, it makes sense to do both of the following: 1)…
Supposedly there are hundreds in Concord.
In pure math at a school like Harvard, the standout kids like the ones in that quote are probably trying to become tenured math professors. There are very few such positions available. You can shoot for the stars, and…
Is it actually that hard to jailbreak? Maybe the prompt is a creative writing exercise, and a much simpler version would have worked?
When I was a kid, an adult told me that I should stop using “basically” as a filler word because people will interpret it as an insult to their intelligence (ie. “You’re not smart enough for the whole thing, so I will…
Quite a tangent, but what if we apply this logic of informed consent to property? If a person without a will dies, should we leave their house abandoned until it decomposes? Automatic organ donation is like probate for…
I thought that was because the lab meat competes with farmers. I can’t think of any similarly situated rival to the lab bodies for organ transplants that would lobby against it.
Isn’t trading off of delayed disclosures basically being dumb money? You’re in a similar position to a pump and dump victim.
Would they need a veto-proof majority for that to work? You’d need like half the republicans to go along with that.
Don’t assume that because the article depicts this competition between the US and China, that the authors actually want China to fail. Consider the authors and the audience. The work is written by western AI safety…
Why even go through the effort of making a criticism when you can satisfy the urge simply by pointing and implying one exists?
https://apnews.com/article/russia-poland-germany-sabotage-ca... November 5, 2024 > WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Western security officials suspect Russian intelligence was behind a plot to put incendiary devices in packages on…
IMO this is a use-case where the added latency of cell phones is a downgrade.
At Amazon it’s common to have terrible, week-long oncall shifts with many repetitive pages. At Google they have shifts that follow the sun and they get PTO to compensate for being oncall during the weekend. Both jobs…
I’m curious what would be considered the industry standard for fact checking in tech. Does Google Search, Apple App Store, TikTok, Snapchat, Amazon store, etc. apply fact-checking to the content posted by users/sellers?…
Assuming you’re driving a sports car for fun and not to win a race - isn’t feel the whole point?
By this metric I would have got into any school I wanted, but that’s just because I put an exceptional amount of effort into preparing for the test. My grades and extracurriculars weren’t top-notch. I did go to an…
Neat idea. I think I’d like it to maintain a global history and local, with some UI affordance to remind me both exist and perhaps what are the last few entries. A lot of my commands would work in any directory, but…
What’s a “mechanical process”? If I read The Lord of the Rings and it teaches me to write Star Wars, is that a mechanical process? My brain is governed by the laws of physics, right? What if I’m a simulated brain…
The structure of the files an app uses internally is undocumented and not intended to be a user-facing API. Who wants to be responsible for handling every insane thing the users decide to do to those files?
There are practical reasons to understand the effects of both cannabis and alcohol. It’s not like we can only care about one of them at a time based on which is winning the social harm olympics.
As a former christian, I don’t agree with that at all. I consider my ability to stop believing to be an opportunity that I was lucky enough to receive based on being exposed to the right ideas at the right time in my…
