Yeah, that closing message was a little weird to me. I understand framing the article as "not anti-AI", especially if the author uses and enjoys the tools. But the end sounds like a call to blindly adopt the tools and…
I'm just coming across this discussion now, but I did a little research that I can add to possibly explain the difference between the advertised capacity and the perceived capacity. The 4400 number is based on a…
I was once in a hackerspace that held regular "show and tell" nights for people to present interesting technology projects. We eventually hit a rash of non-regulars bringing in "projects" that were essentially…
> They're not collecting in depth telemetry on every mile you drive, as you drive it. I mean, yes and no. It is most likely that the majority of carmakers are not collecting detailed telemetry. But we know from data…
MC Frontalot and MC Lars had a fun take on this same concept in "Captains of Industry", which you may enjoy, depending on your feelings on old nerdcore hip-hop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTrKmP7oU9U It's pretty…
I agree that it's self-fulfilling. I just feel that it's being used more as a tool for compliance than for direct productivity.
> It's use AI or be replaced by AI I think they want to sell that perception, but the biggest thing the tech execs want in their SWEs is fear. Fear that makes us stay in our jobs, even when raises and bonuses stagnate,…

What do you want the title to be? "Have a Website"? No, that's missing the emphasis. "I Strongly Encourage Businesses to Have a Website"? There we go. That sounds bland enough to be regurgitated by your LLM of the week.…
Interesting that this question didn't warrant a response. Anyway, here's new research demonstrating the near polar opposite of the original claim, in case anyone digging up these old threads was also wondering if…

In many cases, the decision to install Flock cameras have been made by city councils and sheriffs' offices. So it very much depends on local candidates. On the broader topic, I'm not sure that just voting is the way…
Cynicism warning, but my honest guess is they see that the Colbert problem will be solved in June and so don't feel the need to spend any effort on him.
At least it is possible for an unethical person to face meaningful consequences and change their behavior.

I was a little miffed that this blog didn't include a link to that particular study, especially with how vague the citation is, so I went and found the original publication[0]. Of note, they have a "Setting the record…
My bad. Thanks for clarifying.

I have many questions about your methodology: - How many stations were you left with? - Did that number decline over time (as you excluded replacement stations)? - What was your scale? - Are you willing to share your…
Basically every country has been conducting a massive geoengineering project in the open for the past decades by releasing billions of tonnes of CO2 (and other greenhouse gasses) into the atmosphere. We've been able to…

Those are examples that are discussed in the article, yes.
Everyone, please, don't fight. It's both. The companies wouldn't have this specific data if it wasn't for the age verification laws. Companies also work to amass as much private data as possible about their users…

I don't know why, but it always irks me when a corporation puts out a document like this cosplaying as peer-reviewed research, and they don't bother to put in even a lip-service "conflict of interest" disclosure. I…
