Timnit’s backpedaling regarding her email and her ultimatum was absurd. You seem completely unwilling to factor Timnit’s own behavior into the chain of events, so it doesn’t make sense to continue this. This elimination…
I suspect it was Timnit’s behavior after the paper didn’t pass internal review that actually got her fired (issuing an ultimatum and threatening to resign unless the company met her demands; telling her coworkers to…
Will my car still get broken into every few months? Will I still have to walk over needles and human waste on my walk home? Will toothpaste still be locked up? San Francisco has a long way to go before it’s an…
It’s odd they label the voices as “soprano” and “baritone,” because they don’t sound like it. I suspect it’s to avoid labeling the speakers as “male” and “female.” What a joke.
You’re linking to the “report” by the accuser that consisted entirely of character attacks and borderline paranoid speculation. It contained none of the evidence he had promised. Similarly, nothing we’ve said is any…
This sums up the problem with the pro-cheating side – the argument boils down to: “This person didn’t behave how I think I would behave in this situation, so she’s probably guilty.” But many people get extremely…
Yes, there were enough coincidences to at least make cheating a possibility, but without any credible evidence I don’t think the “100% guilty” people should be taken seriously.
If you’re bad enough to cheat like that, you’re not good enough to avoid a pattern of suspicious behavior.
This arguably makes cheating less likely. If someone in production knew both players’ hole cards, which was the theory, this would be a nonsensical place to cheat. It was still a coin flip to either lose everything or,…
It’s common knowledge to keep your mouth shut at this point. You don’t need to have highly-regarded lawyers advising you to know this, but SBF had (at least) two: his parents, who were with him in the Bahamas. Even if…
Nearly everyone in a field starts out behind. MS and PhD students start out behind and they’ll spend most of their time during the next 2-5 years on irrelevant things (e.g. 95%+ of their graduate coursework will be…
ChatGPT solves this problem readily. Maybe they should hire ChatGPT. The problem always bugged me though. The word “inverting” makes me think of flipping something upside down rather than horizontally. Although that’s…
He’s playing stupid. The jury will need to decide if was incompetent or evil, and in that case, you definitely want them thinking you’re incompetent.
Most people would be advised to say nothing in this situation. Instead, he’s launching an aggressive PR tour to rebrand himself from a genius wunderkind to a hapless fool who made some innocent mistakes. It’s a risky…
Dialing into BBSs at 11-13 years old, making ANSI art, downloading shareware games, and playing MUDs was so much fun, and makes me so nostalgic. I don’t know what the equivalent is for todays kids. Maybe Roblox or…
Sustained profitable growth for nearly 24 years is the exception, not the rule.
The same way money is often repaid: take it from future income. The Democratic committees raised $853M in the 2022 election cycle, compared to $805M for the Republicans. If they had to deduct $50M next cycle to account…
They’ll be among the few tech employees whose equity didn’t get decimated this year.
n=2, I was on the fence about a 4th shot, but decided on a whim to get it. No side effects previously, but this one gave me full bodies aches and extreme fatigue for about 36 hours.
Judging by elite college representation Elite college representation is a poor metric because of legacy admissions, influence of donors, and the reported efforts to limit Asian admissions. Look at schools with more…

Ah yes, nothing piques my interest in joining the CIA quite like the idea of being sent to Cuba and getting my brain zapped.
My history books tell a different story.
They can, and they do.
