The probability calculator doesn't really help, since the core question for me is how one arrives at its "Probability that misalignment leads to an unrecoverable global catastrophe.".
I'd like to know how these people arrive at their estimates. Why 10% and not 1% or 50%?
I don't think it's particularly unusual for a company to spin off another company?
I wonder if the better approach would have been to lead engineering with a similar reliance on bending rules and "what you can get away with". This is where multiplying estimates by PI comes in, I think. And possibly…
I find this anecdote fascinating because, while I identify completely with the new head of engineering, his requirement really only makes sense if you interpret it as a commitment to build at a certain level of quality,…
I agree in general, but this article claims that the unionized tech workers now have pay increases, cheaper health benefits, and layoff protections. There is also a discussion about the process. This article at least is…
"own" in the sense of "be responsible for the consequences". Not in the sense of "be able to grant reproduction rights".
Your link talks about how hard it is to define science fiction, so in some ways, I'm just putting my opinion out here on the internet as a data point. I'd say the Left Hand of Darkness is more science fiction than…
Having something like another planet or alien biology is necessary but not sufficient to make something science fiction. There is some fuzzy amount of focus on science/technology, style, and tropes that are needed to…
It's great that works for you but there is a reason we have these labels. I've definitely had the experience where I want to escape into some hard sci-fi, and so there's a reason I pick a book from that genre over Anna…
I've only read "The Left Hand of Darkness". It's a very well written book, but it didn't emphasize enough technology/science/engineering for me to consider it even soft science fiction. I guess she's doing the work of…
Excessive amounts of emojis in generated README.md and sometimes in printed/logging outputs. I don't whether this is still an issue because I have a "Never use emojis" instruction in the context.
I'm actually pretty thankful that the GP 5000 is a solid consensus recommendation for general road racing. I see some others being mentioned though, I think Pirelli Zeros? Contrast that with gravel tires, where there is…
NPR/public radio has been doing a decent job without much obtrusive third-party advertising.
Lol, the description text is so dramatic.
It also really bugs me when I've put more time into reporting an issue or setting someone up for success than they've spent working on a solution. You would know best, but it struck me that one reason to skip parts of a…
I had it process a photo of my D&D character sheet and help me debug it as I'm a n00b at the game. Also did a decent, although not perfect, job of adding up a handwritten bowling score sheet.
Obviously. The point is that settling a lawsuit in this way is also a worthless indicator of wrongdoing.
The next sentence under the headline is "Tech company denied illegally recording and circulating private conversations to send phone users targeted ads".
As long as you hold the copyright to your "validate" project, you can dual license it. So can release it under the (A)GPL and also use it in your closed-source commercial project. I think you would need to make…
Ah, you meant "sharing my e-mail addresses". Not the actual emails (the email contents) themselves.
I gotta say I'm skeptical of Gmail sharing emails with third parties without permission. Was there a breach? Govt court order?
Any idea if there is an argument for moving it if it obstructs sidewalk traffic, whether or not it sustains damage in the process? I feel like you can't just leave a washing machine blocking the sidewalk unattended and…
I've seen a few in Lakeview but my experience hasn't been entirely the same as yours. I haven't noticed blinding lights at night. They seem to move relatively slowly and cautiously. I came upon one as I was jogging last…
I use Firefox Mobile Nightly on Android and appreciate it for the dark mode extension and ad blocking. There are some issues but the benefits outweigh them for me. I don't even have a Home button that I can see, I must…
