Of all the things a 250 year-old federal government serving hundreds of millions of people across the entire spectrum of services should be run like, "a start-up" is pretty close to the bottom of the list. I'm impressed…
Are we restricting this to businesses, or is the genocide of the Uyghurs fair game?
Note that every single person telling you to not learn to code currently knows how to code, often at an expert level, and is therefore capable of reasoning about code. I learned to build such useless things as operating…
Yes, but have you considered the performance of a few lucky outliers? Catch 'em fast before they regress to the mean!
Ick. Stop.
Ease off the adderall bud. There's a lot of sloppy thinking in that post, starting with the pseudo-scientific framing in terms of evolutionary psychology... which is ironic given then ScIeNcE-bro tone... couched against…
Almost as though they were indefensible bullshit to begin with. I wonder who extorted whom and for how much. Like gee, that was fast. If this had any bearing on reality, one would imagine the vetting process would take…

I mean, I'd assume this deck was trying to sell something. But the relevant comparison is to stonk-bros on HN LARPing as hedge fund managers, not Vanguard. Which, to be fair, Vanguard has earned a good deal of trust…
Checking back on this thread and wow. The absolutely rabid energy with which Republicans will fabricate information to evade personal moral responsibility for making the COVID death toll worse is incredible. We have a…
Maybe they'll buy a failing AI company and update their grift portfolio.
It's fractured as a consequence of its own actions, which all of its constituent members bear direct responsibility for. Epstein cover up? Iran? COVID denialism? Complete disregard for rule of law? Accepting massive,…
Ever since I've been conscious (the 80s), it's been the party of fear, violence and greed. They've consistently nominated actual clowns for positions of power. B-movie actor Ronald Reagan... Dan Quayle... Sarah Palin...…
I know I RTFA, and I know I'm not interested in discussing things with people who don't. Maybe others feel differently, because more people is better or something. Information pollution is a serious, persistent, growing…
It's nearly word-for-word the content of the tweet. Right at the top. It isn't misleading unless you literally don't even bother to open the linked content. Just ban users who comment without reading, I think that would…
Are you seriously suggesting that the reason it is cheaper to shift factory labor from the United States to Mexico or Vietnam is because Mexican/Vietnamese factories don't need to hire diversity consultants? I have to…
Yeah. There is no such thing, especially and in particular with publicly traded companies. The only meaningful way to change behavior is regulation. Beyond that, "social contracts" benefit the powerful and have a…
I don't think it's rational to rely on relationship with a business, especially and in particular a publicly traded business. Change starts with regulation. That's how every other advanced economy handles it. It's…
Ha, well you've restored a fraction of my optimism about humanity.
I sincerely hope this comment is satire.
Yeah that struck me as shallow, tone-deaf and ignorant. People have very good, very legitimate reasons for "booing" GenAI. Most human interactions with GenAI are either with corpo sludge or overly cheerful, dangerously…
Whether that would constitute restitution or furtherance of a Ponzi scheme is open for debate, I guess...
The Trump administration has exactly one motive, and that is accumulation of wealth. There is literally no other reason they would do anything. Even if there were legitimate economic or security concerns, those aren't…
I consider it on-par with LinkedIn posts. It inhabits a nether-space between reality and fiction where names, numbers and buzzwords are thrown around without much concrete connection to reality. The LinkedIn MBA…
