Interesting, where do you think LLMs perform the best?

Tracking already feeling pervasive suffers from the cognitive bias of all or nothing thinking. A phone can be turned off or apps disabled far more easily than a network of surveill…

Didn't lose me, but point taken about gathering more support. How about: the costs of implementing a zero-crime world are far greater than the crime. Or attempting to trade freedom…

Definitely, AI sentiment is positive among most people at the small startup I work at in the Seattle area. I do see the "AI fatigue" too, I bet the majority is from using AI as a r…

Indeed, there are levels to the asymmetry though. Oil change might be ~5x cheaper vs the 20-50x claimed for Heroku...

I can share a similar approach I'm finding beneficial. I add "Be direct and brutally honest in your feedback. Identify assumptions and cognitive biases to correct for." (I also add…

I don't see their comment as trolling. Reducing the negative impact Meta already has is a more accurate description. Given their track record so far, you'd be a tiny minority to ev…

DDG is growing exponentially, Google is just massive and it takes a while to grow big enough to notice https://duckduckgo.com/traffic

Correlation vs causation leaves a lot open, chronically sick with a number of illnesses people may sleep more. Their mortality risk is also higher. I'd wish we could see controlled…

Different people are trying to get different things from Facebook. I use facebook but disable notifications and unliked all pages/companies. Crippling the annoying parts to them al…

I remember a professor who equated smartphone use with smoking, he told people to go outside with the smokers if they wanted to use their smartphones/Facebook.

This definitely depends on a lot of factors. If you do work where you are easily replaceable sure. Most software developers don't have anything special rights wise as so few unioni…

It really depends on the person, thats great you recognize that you do well in the corporate world. Unfortunately in many places the company would own your spare projects due to th…

Depends on where you are, in some US states you can get licensed to call yourself a software engineer. This holds you legally liable to the code of ethics. It often influences cour…

Software has a professional code of ethics, it isn't universally read/adhered to though: http://www.acm.org/about/se-code

Good point. I don't think Google did exactly that, but I did find this: https://hbr.org/2013/12/how-google-sold-its-engineers-on-man... It still is Google specific data though, so …

I agree, the title is certainly overconfident if not negligent. Preventing people from writing inaccurate communications would be the topic of many studies and papers by itself tho…

For current issues yes, it doesn't matter you just fix it and get the results. If you want to prevent it in the future it helps to know which one causes the other. Then you can foc…

Unfortunately without putting randomly assigned teams into controlled settings to test this, how else can we figure that out? I want to know too, but this seems expensive to test t…

I agree, its great to take that personal responsibility yourself. When it comes to software that others use, the easier you make it the more people use it. Isn't that a key part of…

That is a good distinction to make, but if we don't know exactly what the cycle is things get harder to figure out. Neurons hold state and we aren't sure how much yet, let alone a …

I agree the CAD analogy doesn't work well here. I don't think any of us can say for sure whether or not a high level representation will need to account for such details. You are r…

Wow, if mitochondria need to be modeled in that level of detail for accurate simulations of neurons that could be problematic. Exaflops of computational power were already the esti…

It can be healthy if done right http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-he... It is probably a huge improvement over the crap you find in many hospital cafeterias…

It feels that way, but estimates look quite promising. If lab grown meat ends up using 1% of the land needed for animal production that would make a huge difference! http://phys.or…
