The first things I think of with "fake it til you make it" are Tesla FSD[0] and Reddit[1]. To this day, if you visit Reddit while logged out it makes the claim that it's a place fo…

"Nonviolent" does have a pretty straightforward definition that I think you can differentiate from your examples if you were inclined to judge impartially. When you're predisposed …

It's odd how vilified Holmes has become, and how gleeful people--even in these comments--are at her lengthy prison sentence for a nonviolent crime. She faked it until she (didn't) …

The original tweet author eventually realized this didn't decrease tokens. In most cases it actually increases them compared to just asking GPT to summarize while retaining all fun…

> My polish grandmother has it as a painting in her house (a jew counting coins). She bought it few years ago. She says the jew brings good luck. She is absolutely not racist nor a…

This is a low quality article that would lead people to believe incorrect information. The headline is incorrect, as they won't be "fixing" the problem. The latest news that I beli…

It's naive to think the danger is in self-aware evil AI. AI is a tool, and can be used as a weapon. There's a functional power difference between a knife, an assault rifle, and a n…

It's a lot easier and faster to destroy than to defend. To defend, you need to know what you're defending against, develop the defense, and then roll it out, all reactively post fa…

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Maybe Google could benefit from having you train customer service for a few days ;) > you don’t really want to be noisy with how you’re using an e…

> If they want to spam a million users they could do that too, although these kinds of things are typically not done this way That seems like a convenient assertion not based on ev…

The blog post was published on the 16th.[0] Pixel 6 and 6a started the update rollout on the 20th.[1] The March security update was scheduled for earlier but was delayed for 6/a fo…

I read that as well, and either it's unclear or I lack the technical understandings to apply that to my question. What does "at the baseband level" mean in terms of remote attack v…

Four things of note: 1. I've not seen anyone explain whether this could be exploited by anyone with access to phone lines (i.e. Twilio users) or not and if it would be trivial to t…

Since I don't think anybody's linked it yet, there was a lot of press about the anti-fire foam the airforce uses in drills (and actual fires) being toxic and leaking into the water…

Related to Listerine: I have a memory of reading a study that had people use mouthwash (possibly Listerine) the night before taking a cognitive test. The mouthwash group did worse …

I can't say if it's right or wrong, but in relation to your specific example, there are "adverse possession" laws that grant legal rights to the occupier of land in the US.[1] [1] …

Could you tell me what artist designed all the per-app logos on your homepage?

I didn't see the commenter arguing on behalf of outdoor dining, so that's a bit of a straw man argument. Additionally, there's a difference between people opting to participate in …

Reading your comment, it's unclear how far you're keeping from others. The only information is that other people don't feel safe given your distance and lack of mask. It's analogou…

Speaking of misleading cybersecurity language, note how you used the term "nation-state", which is a word that indicates a specific subset of countries and is not just a fancy syno…

This is some pretty terrible journalism. They start out with a personal story in the lede that I assume is not related to the study and whose subject was probably not informed that…

No, most of the US economy is service and office based. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ocwage.pdf (see chart 3)

The "truly needy" is a subjective concept. Determining who should get more money from the government is always going to be a judgment call necessitating the presumption that we're …

UBI isn't supposed to fix the problem of money mismanagement. If everyone was spending up to their means, that would be a success because the economy would be flourishing. If they …

That argument is like saying at the introduction of automobiles that cities with the most cars also have the most horses.
