Of course that everyone can be conned, but smart people are more resistant - for the mere fact that they probably know more and are better versed in the goings of life - I am surprised that anyone would think otherwise.
Millions of dollars flow to an organization headed by a convicted fraudster ... rest assured there are much more efficient ways to divert those funds than workshops If anything the workshops are legit front.
Almost certainly is all about money. How would you know how the millions of dollars sent to the organization are being spent? For starters he is impersonating another director of the organization - right there probably…
First the argument that we failed to automate it hence it is expensive is feels specious. But let's accept it at face value. And now take it all the way. Suppose you reject 15 papers for every single one accepted. And…

how about the current era, where every human generates thousands of photos per year ... is that a history worth remembering and will it help where we've come from? I am not saying to not study history, I am saying…

Imagine that Mona Lisa was lost shortly after its creation ... do you think we would not have something else like Mona Lisa in its place? Society created the value of Mona Lisa out of nothing. It is not such a unique…
It is the safest bet for someone you don't know much about. Much above reliability (that everyone wants) with tradeoffs (that we are unable to judge for others)
Remembering the past does not mean remember every single pointless thing. Lots of things in the past were not worth the paper they were printed on.
It is bullshit because it only works in theory, the big refrigerator will crush the tiny fly ... in reality the fly escapes with ease the bullshit part refers to just that, pretending that the refrigerator could be an…

I don't doubt that you think nothing was left out ... but I am sure the other side thinks differently. Are return receipts still a thing? I have turned off those by default and would never return one - unless I was a…
I read the post, it seems someone cancelled a meeting and the candidate got a little antsy, then started using a type of language that scared off the employer. Nothing in the posts seems extremely outrageous to me, they…
In a realistic use cases (unlike the ones in the test) the hard drives are accessed very often. For anything by very light use, I would expect the drives to be written just about at all times.
FYI in scientific publishing there is an entire subculture of publishing expensive books >$150 - with mostly useless content that one can read for free in published papers. Scientists write them for free, to embellish…
Bard is a better search engine. A really good one at that. But it is the same old thing - only much better. It lacks the spirit, sparkle, the pizzaz and surprising "intelligence" of ChatGPT. The service, if released…

If your personal account is frozen you could still work for someone else and ask them to pay you cash. Yes, reduces you options, but you still have options. Ergo you can still make a living. And if cash is a valid form…

I find the logic a bit strained, get a loan -> buy NFT -> sell NFT cycle was sustained by 1000% rises in the NFT prices, not by the 0% interest rates of the loans. Hence my incredulity towards the claim that 0% interest…
I don't follow how 0% interests rates caused the NFT boon. Does the author imply that if the interest rates fell back to 0% the NFTs would take off again? I have hard time believing that. Notably the author misses the…
