GPS is notoriously terrible inside cities with tall buildings and when you have overlapping roads, nearby roads with vastly different speed limits and so on. This would lead to way…

Given the ubiquity of cameras and how optimized face recognition has gotten over time, this is mostly pointless at this time. You will be tracked unless you really pull a major dis…

Where are the flaws? That the guy was attractive and managed to seduce others? He may have gone with other people's wives but that is on the wife to say no, not on him.

Not all couples subscribe to monogamy. There is no reason to be judgemental about this in the absence of other information.

Academia, especially humanities, has gotten amazingly intolerant of any divergent viewpoints over the past decades. Harvard is among the worst in this case. Try to get a marginally…

This is still a semi-puff piece. Makes it seem like he is being turned into a scapegoat for the industry and drums up sympathy for him.

So like an hour of revenue.

I suspect this appears to be the case because there is a ton of example pages around explaining tic-tac-toe games. My conjecture is that if you tried it with a game that wasn't so …

I feel this might be more of a mild 'Trough of disillusionment' in the hype cycle than a real shrinking of demand. The other thing with ChatGPT specifically is that during really h…

In my experience, there is no good solution long term except changing the metrics themselves every so often. When new metrics come in, as long as they are not totally boneheaded, t…

As an Indian the UK visa is way more work than US and the other part is US often gives you a 10 year visa whereas the UK gives 6 month visas so you have to go through the whole pro…

This is not always true and depends on things like other visas on your passport, how often do you travel abroad and so on. For people who are traveling for the first time outside I…
