I think we can agree to disagree here. I don't see how a company needs to have an $8000 increase in revenue to justify a $240 software purchase. You are assuming that the current o…

I understand that. The AI software is meant to be a productivity enhancer for the employees using it. Other than the licenses, some training etc, there are no operating costs assoc…

I'm not an MBA over here, but this math seems wrong. If they are spending $240 in increased costs, then they only have to make about $247 in additional revenue from that spend to p…

I interviewed someone recently who worked at Meta a couple years ago. He was a software engineer, was paid a bunch of money to mostly up dashboards all day, and eventually quit bec…

No that's not true either. A quick Google will reveal many examples, in particular the "Cantor set".

It is not determined by the derivative, it's the antiderivative, as someone else mentioned. The derivative is the rate of change of a function. The "area under a curve" of the grap…

This is some high quality content. Love the visual animations to go along with the mathematical ideas. Did a great job helping to tie the algebra to geometric intuition, but I thin…

The disk model of hyberolic geometry is made to map hyperbolic 2 space (which is infinite in area) into the finite interior of the disk. In order to capture this, the normal euclid…

Binary search minimizes the number of expected moves until you find the target. If you are already ahead, this is a natural thing to want to do. The reason why this doesn't work wh…

I think the user means that bullies in school face little consequences, but a bully at work may get called by HR and potentially disciplined.

In my mind that is a problem with your lazy developer colleague, not AI as a whole. You can't expect it to be right on the first try (just like human code), you have to iterate wit…

I don't know about other use cases, but AI is definitively a game changer for software development. You still need to know what you're doing and test/think critically about what it…

It seems like there is a universal sense in which statements like 1+1=2" or "7 is a prime number" are true, no?

Almost certainly a Western intelligence operation to send a message to Putin.

I have found that the dependency injection pattern makes it far easier to write clean tests for my code.

You and the article are both correct. The disease does present itself differently as a function of these other characteristics, so since the training dataset doesn't contain enough…

This is a popular science article, not a scientific paper.

The "richness" definition also seemed hand wavey to me so I looked at the referenced paper. The actual definition of "richness" of an algorithm is that for any arbitrary partition …

I am a mathematician by education but programmer by profession for many years now, so the significance of this result is over my head. Could someone elaborate on what makes this is…

Rather than just making a conspiratorial post, could you explain these alternative theories and why you see this article as strong evidence against existing mainstream theories?

You can have unrealized losses since it's possible that the value of your items is less than the value of the goods you paid to receive them. To repeat this strategy the next day, …

Do you have any recommended references on this subject? Seems like this sort of system would be able to obfuscate a lot of metadata that can be used to deanonymize activity. Very i…

You'd be surprised at how many people I've interviewed over the years have been unable to hide the fact that they would be terrible to work with. In programming circles at least, I…

By reading through the code, understanding how they've laid out their abstractions and user interfaces. I am in the field, and in my experience, the most impactful design decisions…
