Five bucks says they have used an LLM to put the list together.

Pretty sure this was one of those so-called “jokes” I have read about in a research paper once. American humor tends to rely on overstatement. This is contrast with British humor t…

Interestingly, both FIFA and IOC are headquartered in Switzerland, a country that is ranked by Transparency International as one least corrupt countries in the world… Draw you own …

I’ve been working in this industry for 20 years. Nobody gets fired for this, not at Netflix or any of the other studios. Especially a VP. I don’t know how to express how unlikely a…

Ok well here is a general longevity-related reason why resistance training is important. Lifting weights also increases bone mass. As you get older, osteoporosis becomes more and m…

You could say it’s the real smoking gun. With significant blast radius.

> first step in any kind of pressure campaign Not how corporate politics work. > low stakes Not how corporate politics work.

No, what you’re describing still requires you to do some actual work, and also, while you work there, there is still some level of accountability. A much, much better grift is coac…

I mean I don’t have a horse in this race, but I don’t think this is a good example. If this is a senior enough position to justify expecting this level of specialization, that comp…

So this kind of music has a name, it’s called production music and it’s been long expected in the industry that AI-generated music will compete with the lower-end production music,…

Kind of, but there are some subtle differences in my opinion. Oracle is top-to-bottom evil, whose business model basically boils down to screwing over their clients and everyone el…

I only ever worked with the Linux/Windows variant. I can’t believe I am saying this about an IBM product, but I found it to be actually rather pleasant to work with.

There was also DB2. DB2 was (still is) an excellent database that IBM has completely fumbled.

A spy steals secrets. Credit can be stolen from you by your boss. Your competitor steals your ideas. In colloquial usage, theft is the act of stealing. The legal term is copyright …

That already exists. That’s the men’s category. There are no rules forbidding women from competing in men’s categories at Olympic events.
