That's quite interesting. This is way outside of my wheelhouse - has this kind of approach been tried in other security contexts before? What would you even call that, virtualizati…

I don't really get Mass in general. On paper it seems like it should be quite a bit nicer than it is in reality. I live in the Hudson Valley and feel like it would be a downgrade i…

It's politicized by default when it stands in opposition to the most blatantly ideologically slanted social media site in existence this side of Gab and Truth Social.

Considering everyone NOT in a specific ideological umbrella has been fleeing X en masse, yeah it's obviously sensible that alternative ideologies would be more present by default.

Layman question here since this isn't my field: how do you achieve success on closed-system tasks without supervision? Surely at some point along the way, the system must understan…

It's funny, the calculators were incredibly politicized when I was growing up (TI84 generation, so kids were getting caught programming functions to solve exam questions) but GPS w…

Same here. I never really consciously saw it as "defiance" against cognitive decline or anything. More to the point, the answers are much better on average

Kids are born into a world where the last generation is already essentially locked into lifetime servitude, the world is burning, and the "adults in the room" are a circus. How cou…

They can't afford not to accept it, honestly. They need to work so they don't die. "A 2023 survey conducted by Payroll.org highlighted that 78% of Americans live paycheck to payche…

Incredible stuff, really.

> This is the overwhelmingly main reason why Tiktok is getting banned. Because people are writing Orwell fanfiction?

Oh, wasn't meant at any dig in terms of quality, I don't believe in that kind of characterization. Besides, ostensibly, Chinese developers have been much more successful in this sp…

The kids flocking to another Chinese app just to avoid using Reels, Shorts, or whatever abomination is on X continues to be so funny to me. Looks like a long game of whack a mole s…

We're up +1.5C already and it's a polynomial growth. This current figure was also on the "upper end" of projections from 25 years ago.

I'm all for this, lol.

There is an unlimited amount of potential financial gain from American politics, both in lobbying and campaign financing. It is also widely true that the candidate with the most mo…

I get that we're on a tech forum but the vast, vast majority of people in this country don't have the financial ability to just move wherever they want. I'm not saying that means t…

More like can't care about anymore. Median household income is 63k in OK and housing costs are through the stratosphere, it's no wonder people will pick any home over none.

I'm kind of skeptical the US grid can even handle this industry growth if it becomes the only realistic place these models are ran. A lot of the infrastructure is pretty wobbly. An…

These models are stochastic though, so saving conversations with elaborate context so they're actually useful in the domain you need them to be useful in is a fundamental feature. …

That corporate context is a good candidate, yes, but I think it's simpler than that. Assuming whatever Apple and Google cook up these next few years is essentially identical from a…

It still really isn't that close to Google Maps, with public transit in particular Apple Maps is pretty much useless. GM is typically more complete with paths and building data out…

I am not a hiring manager but something about these mini-paragraphs puts me off. It's like those tabloid sites where every sentence has its own line.

From what I can tell? Traveling to those meetups, which is a serious expense.

I tried this during peak Silicon Valley days. I remember two things: 1. I got laughed at for wearing a suit by t-shirt devs 2. Around 40% of the places did not allow people to walk…
