Why not have the customer talk to an llm and iterate on the plan? Many customers will appreciate the 30m back and forth replacing the multiple hour meetings. People are subtracting…

Oof. Gets screwed by a monopoly, defends monopolies: idealism is a chain. It frustrates me how some people are buried in this ideology, given 90% of it would be denied with Economi…

I'm from Portugal and we have a strong espresso culture, as in 90% of the people probably have multiple espresso every day. Many Portuguese agree that Starbucks espresso sucks comp…

"Humans can do x, therefore non humans can do it too", says the guy with a degree in philosophy! Surely not formal philosophy:) Jokes aside I always thought this was a crap argumen…

Need to replay it, or try the sequel. Is it any good?

It only applies to big companies for now, and it's not rocket science - stores already had to deal with unsold inventory. I helped a charity that distributed misc items to families…

First I was intrigues by the rationalist movement, but I was deeply disappointed. To put it bluntly, seems to me like geeks LARPing as philosophers, and not with rational argument …

It seems especially bad now. This relativistic mindset is really bad for critical thought: "oh, it was never 100% fair". Well, if it was 80% earlier, it seems approaching 20% now. …

FromSoftware really puts design first, so it doesn't surprise me they use a classic AI and then leave it up to the designers to craft memorable experiences.

This was published in 2018, vut I believe some things have worsened in the last years for the west. Some examples are: Housing crysis, wars, rise of the alt right, loneless epidemi…

Both can be true: It may not be worthy to question Oracle and Larry motives - it's money, at the cost of anything else (although his pro Israel stance may unveil some other ideolog…

Fuck the TOS. When I purchase stuff, I don't wanna read a legal contract. No one wants, no one does. The contrariam in me thinks: If the contract is that crucial, let's have a mand…

Also, in my country, more hospitalizations would be quite severe, as the hospitals are already short staffed. There were also not enough masks for everyone to mitigate it. I think …

But also "we don't know"! = "it's NOT a big deal". I'm OK with some caution.

New statue in London. Banksy, maybe.

Similar to most entertainment: you have the right to consume, but not the right to adapt into your works and distribute them. Even consumption is usually limited to private usage: …

They're going with Scaleway, a French company. Seems like the owner is a billionaire with a few businesses, but neither La Redoute nor Intermarché! https://www.scaleway.com/en/news…

I mean, it would also be an option to fix the deficient public health of USA. For all the stupid manipulative stuff Altman says, the system precedes him, no?

And as a cherry on the cake: making a bet a few hours before so they can profit (even more) from it.

We're seeing high bets the day before, such that the bet goes through without too many people noticing and adjusting. Maybe forbidding bets X days before deadline would help to red…

I'm not an American but unfortunately I don't share the optimism. Your president shows time and time again he does what he wants, whether it's immoral or illegal or not within his …
