Untrue. Unsold inventory must be represented on the balance sheet as an asset. Marking down the value of 1000’s of cybertrucks will drop the book value of the company. It will impa…

Sure, but why would they? They’re profiting too.

WTF does yassified CPG even mean?

You’re probably wasting time commenting here instead of having your AI do it.

That’s such outdated thinking. I’m using AI to build AI into my workflows.

That sounds like an admission that it’s a bad thing and not an argument about why Musk’s department should be allowed to do more of the same with even less oversight.

My credit report is just names and dollar amounts too. I don’t want the whole world having access to it.

To be fair, I muddled concepts of formal/informal systems versus completeness and consistency. I think if you start from an assumption that ANN is a formal system(not a given), you…

On one level, yes you’re right. Computing weights and propagating values through an ANN is well defined and very algorithmic. On the level where the learning is done and knowledge …

It does apply to AI in terms of the computers we compute neural networks on may be equivalent to Turning machines but the ANN networks are not. If you did reduce the ANN down to a …

I suspect that if formal systems were unequivocally “better” than formal systems our brains would be formal systems. The desirable property of formal systems is that the results th…

It is a big mistake to think that most computability theory applies to AI, including Gödel’s Theorem. People start off wrong by talking about AI “algorithms.” The term applies more…

I guess DOGE will set its sights on NHTSA next.

I've replaced the battery and SSD on my 2015 15" MBP. SSD was very easy to replace. Battery replacement was very involved and took about two hours. It is doable if you're methodica…

This is essentially what hyper-threading in modern processors is attempting to do.

Since 1979 probably the biggest driver to increasing household income would be increased participation of women in the workforce.

Also things like: "U.S. economic growth is not translating into higher median family incomes. Real GDP per household has typically increased since the year 2000, while real median …

You might read the article you linked to at wikipedia. It doesn't really support your point. Real (inflation adjusted) figures are more useful than nominal for measuring income gro…

The funding was in convertible notes which convert to equity in the next funding round. Presumably these agreements don't have any provisions for other exits.

That's compelling evidence that these aren't FC center workers but somebody running them all as a social media campaign.

We could apply the old anti-privacy trope and say that people (or companies) that do nothing wrong should have nothing to hide.

Coming back to this from a few days later, the search "Dr. Paul Drago" doesn't turn up anything negative in the first dozen pages. Unfortunately for him the search bar is offering …

Cargo-culting is literally not knowing what you're doing.

Late 2017ish, I bought a new MBP from Best Buy. As I was completing the purchase, the store manager came out to thank me personally for my business. I've seen zero evidence that an…

In most places I’ve lived in the US it’s takes a lot of work to get an old appliance to a landfill and out of the hands of someone who would repair or recycle it. Somebody buying a…
