Can you elaborate on what "verified success" means?

You grumpy old guys probably own a house. As labour continues to get devalued, it feels like assets are the only path to prosperity. That's where my anxiety is coming from, anyway.…

This is ludicrous and I’d revolt. A desk is already too much space to give up to my workplace.

What if you’re a new grad that does have drive? You might still end up in a situation where all the experienced people want to work from home, and half of them are offshore anyway.…

I work at a business that sells a product built on Intel SGX.

So the impact to the employers is low; whereas the potential to help disadvantaged racialized people is high. That’s a perfectly acceptable trade off.

The vast majority of commuters in NYC use public transit to get around. This idea that only the poor are forced to drive has no basis in reality.

Most of these couples are people who grew up in and/or have strong networks in those cities to begin with.

Face to face meetings are a thousand percent better than virtual meetings.

My area could very much use more green space

The idea is that if parking lots are built, they should be at the very least well utilized. We have a big problem of shopping centres over-building parking. For example, optimizing…

>And yet, I know of no malls that ever gained residence areas within walking distance How is that even possible? Here in the Greater Toronto Area, practically every large mall has …

The price of a car itself is significant, there may well be zero utilization in an area where residents simply don’t own cars.

They actually do exactly this, they’re just not thinking about it. You buy a book because you want the physical possession, which gives you the ability to sell it or give it to som…

It is NOT okay for machine owner to profit from learning, unless the machine owner compensates the owners of the training data. That is where the line should be drawn.

She specifically set herself up to be recorded and then shared it across the internet. That is the problem part, not her questioning of the HR people (which was a show for the came…

What in God’s name were they thinking placing ChatGPT answers in there? Can users not just go to Chat GPT to get those answers?

Why? A human being isn’t infinitely scalable; they’re just different. It’s the same thing as going to a movie theatre to watch a movie vs. recording it with a camera.

This comment is just blatant anthropomorphizing of ML models. You have no idea if reading an article “transforms weights” in a human mind, and regardless, they aren’t legally the s…

Transit is also worth investing in for the downstream effect.

What about garbage collection, waste water, and electricity wiring? All of which are inefficient in a sparsely populated area.

Not having separate VMs for QA and Prod seems like madness to me

And now we just have cities clogged up with Ubers.
