There's no multi-party conspiracy theory required here. Events can have played out exactly as OpenAI and Hugging Face described, and OpenAI can also have reaped a huge amount of fr…

I mean for one thing - the placebo effect exists. That's why double blind testing of new drugs is the standard

The article suggests he eats a vegan diet and exercises daily, so it's not like he's just popping pills on the couch between McDonalds meals. He seems like a complete loon in every…

How are you counting average distances? Simply as the distance between two points in the carrier’s network, or are you looking at the lengths of each individual flight? The source …

The business model works fundamentally differently in the US and Europe due to geography. The US is big , meaning that flights are often longer, meaning that fuel is a bigger porti…

At a ratio of 10:1, at least in my experience, there's no time for those managers to be hands on with the work and keeping their engineering skills current. I don't personally feel…

They indicate that engineers want to spend less time on (slow) processes. That isn't necessarily the same thing as that they want less (middle) managers. I can say that at my curre…

As an engineering manager (and one who's slowly starting a job hunt) these comments don't make for comfortable reading. What we'll never know from a press release like this is whet…

I've spent about 10 mins seeing if I can replicate my Nova setup with Octopi. My only missing feature so far is more extensive gesture support. As far as I can tell, Octopi support…

I've recently started trying open ear phones for other reasons and I've found the current state of the art pretty good in terms of sound quality. I use Nothing's open ears, but I'm…

I think it's what that intolerance leads to which is a big part of the problem. It's natural that we don't like being bored, but these days we have infinite means to keep boredom a…

I don't really get why people are calling it a console. It is a PC to me in all the ways that matter, and it's probably going to save me from spending 1500 euros on a mid-range gam…

Yeah, that's definitely a worry. Also, the fact that you're dependent on them for adding support for future games, and that (like any cloud service) it might not be available right…

Just the mention of pieces of hardware we don't really need anymore (sound cards, modems, etc) triggers a flood of nostalgia. I used to spend DAYs poring over PC part catalogues dr…

There's a gigantic difference in the ability of the surveilled person to protect themselves in the scenario you sketch versus the one that I sketch. In your scenario the surveilled…

If you don't think this tool poses any risk to these people let's try walk through a scenario. Let's say someone sees a parking warden they find physically attractive. They follow …

To my knowledge reneging only applies when it's a voluntary decision. A company that has been sold by its previous owner for generating a 800k loss is not doing much of anything by…

The thing is pitching your salary lower doesn’t always make you more attractive as a candidate. If you’re going in lower than market rate then many recruiters start wondering about…

It sounds like they don't want you taking and sharing photos of them now, which is very fair. But it's not clear from your description if they judge you or your partner for any bab…

Did I ever say that he is?

So what's your suggestion for how YouTube could be doing better here? Especially in the scenario that (as the top level comment in this thread suggests) YouTube didn't actually mak…

As someone with a very opinionated 11 year old nephew (so he grew up in the time of ubiquitous social media and he is getting to the age where he starts to understand its upsides a…

I don't really know what the original is claiming, thanks to how it was written. I only offered a guess at what the authors were saying. So, you're saying that the study was narrow…

Views might be important to get the attention of a potential advertising partner, but once the relationship has started then keeping it going will likely be dependent on much more …

For better or worse a gigantic portion of people who make their livelihoods on the internet are fully dependent on closed source platforms. Do you think people who sell things on S…
