>1) There are so much BS jobs in BS companies it's hard to understand if those are even companies doing real thing (cf. David Graeber) This time last year I was searching for a new…

>If Reddit could grow to the size it had with management that was harmless at best, what could it do if Steve came back? Harmless at best wasn't enough, so let's bring in actively …

It's only arbitrary if you make it arbitrary. A strict ban on "military and warfare," may prevent some relatively innocuous projects from reaching fruition, but I find that to be a…

>migrant children show up and work and just lie about their age or supply forged documentation, which is impossible to verify for the company or any US agency. Except it is possibl…

It’s disingenuous to frame using data to train a model as a “view,” of that data. The simple cases are the easy ones, if ChatGPT completely rips a NYT article then that’s obviously…

I have a few friends in the trades, all part of a union, and none of them would echo this sentiment. It's also funny because this is the exact same sentiment people complain about …

I can only hope to one day build something as meaningful as "Fontly Color Fonts." Alas, there can only be so many geniuses capable of sculpting meaning out of the chaos that is the…

Then the author doesn't really understand what's happening or isn't making much sense. There isn't anything, as far as I can tell, structure specific that caused this ousting. If i…

I think a more fitting analogy would be walking into a store to sit down and cool off with no intent of buying anything. You are "taking" passive resources (air conditioning, space…

I know you're getting a bunch of suggestions but I'm going to throw in my stupid simple approach that I've loved. First, if you don't like the texture, as others have suggested, go…

Whoops, I totally misinterpreted that! Apologies.

I couldn't disagree more. You can easily twist his letters to his son to create this narrative. If you read it as a whole his message isn't at all anti-marriage, he was a devout Ch…

At my previous job, when they did their return to office rollout, I remember the head of our department waxing on about how much he missed being in the office with everyone. He mis…

Also, social security contributes to taxable income.

>So many people actually don't give a fuck if what they do works or is of merchantable quality as long as it's perceived they are working for the hours required. I've found that's …

If all out war breaks out between two nuclear powers I don’t think 155mm production/stockpiles are going to be quite as impactful as these folks say. A lot of these screeching hawk…

We aren't even close to the beginnings of AGI. An LLM is no closer to AGI than a model T is to a space elevator.

>human life is human life regardless of origin Not regardless of age though apparently?

To say competition on pricing and product are orthogonal is to treat this like some sort of study and completely ignore the real world conditions that these businesses live in. The…

Strange stuff, some old internet art. http://www.teleportacia.org/war/

Ahh, I see what you're saying now. First, there's a bit of an assumption of local lending opportunities drying up. This isn't necessarily going to happen, local banks don't have in…

>Do they work out long term? Assuming we are talking about loans as a commodity, yes & no. They work out in the same manner as any other economic commodity which is some will outpe…

>A bank serving a single town goes down with the town This isn't necessarily a bad thing from the perspective of the town.

Been awhile since I've worked in the industry, but the commoditization of loans has increased the risk threshold banks are willing to take on. Can tranche up loans to cater to spec…
