    Would that not be a slippery slope ? Tax foreigners more if on a h1b, but not foreigners on other work visas.

    I know people who've taken money through these routes. The biggest surprise is the paperwork; since it's public money, everything must be fully transparent, and the government need…

    Mostly projects / products that start off with very low usage thus python is perfectly fine (Why overoptimize). And then it becomes useful - and a rewrite isn't worth it.

    When you say parse - do you mean for prior art or to generate ideas?

    True - and the 'enterprise AI' are the clouderas of the modern day.

    You are correct chatgpt is a great product. But if thats the only 'AI' product, or there is a handful. Those companies will focus on replacing NVIDIA ASAP. NVIDIA benefits from hav…

    The claim that AI products will never work might be valid. But NVIDIA don't need to care about that at the moment. What NVIDIA care about is the likes of AWS who are investing heav…

    B) "From then on, Joyce lived in Europe." Isn't Ireland in Europe...? - If someone told me they were from Europe, I'd assume they meant the continent.

    I think someone complained about twitter search to elon musk when he took it over saying how he could fix it easily. From memory, he left pretty quickly and said ihe was unable to …

    I've been keeping an eye on Greece as they started to introduce benefits for foreign capital / workers similar to what Portugal did. I've a feeling this is why Greece is seen to be…

    Then move to France or Scandinavia. I'd suggest Norway since they have a huge oil reserve so the country can sustain its current population.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal was somehow done via Microsoft and some contract they already have with the Norwegian government. This is how certain ms tech end up with the Ir…

    Citi used (And maybe still are not sure) to be the biggest retail bank in the world. I'm not sure how exactly that was quantified but I'd assume its related too phsyical footprint.…

    I'm in Europe. They have to tell us they want marketing messages otherwise its against the regulations and would result in fines. We followed those rules!

    I might be mis-remembering this part - but I believe napoleon dynamite had its own algorithm in the ensemable because it was a tricky one to predict the rating for.

    Yes - from what I remember the team that came second lost out due to something like 6 decimal places and the time diff in submission. It was pretty close!

    I'd say its a grey area in our case. The user isn't using a "tell me when discounts happen" feature, but rather a favourites feature where some of our marketing said to favourite t…
