Maybe creating the documentary was the most ambitious Nathan For You episode yet, and all simply to build publicity for this company.
Throughout school my reading comprehension surpassed most of my peers. For most of my early career I was a writer. Yet I also have ADHD, and one of the ways that manifests is that I really struggle with the dense,…
On the other hand, there's research suggesting that the most optimal behavior for the best outcomes (based on the famously dependable economist style of analysis in a vacuum) is to practice the moral/ethical framework…
They're slowing down token usage, not the path to regulatory capture.
Unless you were in Europe and didn't run a small business
As others commenters said, it's amusing. But also the person you're replying to is the guy who created the pelican test in the first place and I appreciate the whimsy he brings to the discussion.
I was using it on Cowork yesterday, so I would imagine so. It arrived before I updated but the message says it will work better after updating the app.
You see this type of thing daily in Brooklyn NY still, but instead of techno it's any genre, primarily hip hop, reggaeton, or afrobeats.
I was on Pixels since the first generation, and only I recently switched from the Pixel 8 Pro to the OnePlus 15, so I was very late to the game here and missed the peak OnePlus days. But even so, I've been way happier…
I was already annoyed at the amount of headlines shoehorning the word "quietly" into a story to imply some kind of malicious secrecy (and therefore drive clicks), but it seems to have gotten way more common when people…
> I wouldn't call Krugman nasty names > If you look at his track record, it's hard to explain without resorting to accusations of a humiliation fetish. It may not have been a nasty name but damn that was brutal.
When I lived in India everyone would always tell me how everyone drives so much safer there because they're more aware etc (similar reasoning as we're seeing in this thread), but man, the national crash statistics say…
I haven't formed an opinion yet, but tangentially, since you hope for the collapse of these orgs, what do you propose we do to incentivize higher quality information sources online? Wikipedia isn't perfect by any means…
Relevant Kendall Roy quote: "Words are just uh, what? Nothing. Complicated airflow."
Yeah, the more data that comes out on the "AI employment disruption" the more it becomes apparent that AI is just an investor-friendly excuse to do the layoffs they were going to do anyway.
I'm not sure if it's more frustrating or just laughably absurd how often I have experiences like this. Like where an LLM chatbot (mostly Gemini) or other AI tool gives me sample prompts to click and test (so they can…
I might be an outlier here in caring about this product but I really want Proton Docs to get optimized better, it takes way too long to load. Google docs may not be private but it takes <1 second to load when I click…
To your point about automation, I'm increasingly wondering whether the "post-labor economy" would be anywhere near as idealistic as it's typically presented. If people aren't working, they're presumably not paying…
> "influence is a euphemism for manipulate" Strongly disagree with this sentiment. Influence can have a lot of sources, from institutional authority to simply being persuasive, which is distinct from manipulation. In…
Reminds me of when Bjork was protesting the construction of a new hydropower plant in Iceland, when the Director of Iceland's National power company (behind the project) was actually her uncle. I used to be romantically…
Is this before or after you account for the initial training impact? Because that would need to be factored in for a good faith calculation here, much as the companies would rather we didn't.
That was my initial opinion, but more recently it's been established that there's quite a bit of a cat and mouse game here – people have come up with elaborate workarounds to avoid getting booted or limited by the…
Given the iran situation I think china will be fine. (I'll show myself out)
It's always fascinating to see how fundamental concepts of Buddhist teachings appear in different names, forms, and metaphors across cultures. Dependent origination:…
Some might say you're a purist in that regard Side note, would positing an argument online without doing an AI fact check first be considered rawdogging your answer? It seems fitting.
