I was curious which ones they attributed to automation (which is only mentioned 4 times)

However, the analysis suggested that many layoffs are pre-emptive cost-cutting measures aimed at funding AI infrastructure, rather than a direct result of automation replacing jobs at scale.

Word. Threw it in the last sentence. A+ journalism.

I don’t want to push too much traffic to this guy’s post but it’s titled “Android’s new 24-hour sideloading delay should’ve happened years ago”

The comments on that article seem to agree with you.

What degrees (if any) do the best ones have?

At Harvard, the school’s president recently decried “anti-Israeli bias,” which he called“insidious and maybe more corrosive of University life” than antisemitism.

I missed that one.

If I was a polymarket employee I certainly wouldn’t consider identifying accounts with successful military predictions and selling that information to anyone. I’m sure this doesn’t create any dangerous incentives as far as national security goes!

Rude for no reason

I asked what they meant not what they said, they share a CEO

Do they mean Google or Alphabet?

I just use a spreadsheet currently. No fancy template or anything basically just a monthly expenditures list into a few categories.

I used/liked Goodbudget (an app based simulation of an ‘envelope system’) for a while. I think it was especially helpful for developing budgets across moves if that makes sense. Not sure what their free features look like nowadays but before you could share it between people so your whole household could see how much was available in the “groceries” ‘envelope’ for example and move money from another ‘envelope’ if they needed more.

I think AI is in a similar place as GMOs were 10 years ago. The technology isn’t inherently problematic but the main companies rolling it out seem to be doing so during a banner drop where the banner screams “I’m evil and I intend to burn this place to the ground.” We shouldn’t trust them because they’re practically telling us not to in the same breath they use to promote their products. I would say most of the main models available to the public fall under this boat.

Just like GMOs this doesn’t mean that there’s not some cool AI research being done, for ex. special models run by researchers to improve diagnostics or look for new antibiotics. It remains to be seen whether the cool stuff will have been worth whatever it is we lose.

I grew up somewhere where it didn’t cool down a lot at night and the only solution was to sleep in front of a fan. Sometimes I could get the fan to blow directly into the sheets and sort of balloon them out which was pleasant.

Where I live now it cools at night so I can open the windows at night and close them up during the day. Sometimes I close the curtains too if it will be extreme. I open the windows and create a cross draft when it cools down.

Those ice/fan pseudo a/c setups don’t work well.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, eh?

I know a couple where the guy is quite a lot older and less attractive than the girl and guys will legit regularly confront the girl at the bar or at concerts and stuff being like “why are you with this guy” visibly upset

Stahp llm philosophy makes no sense if you think about the mechanics of what it is doing. Think about what it accomplishes and how and what kind of truths it can potentially shed light on given those constraints. Do a little more philosophy irl if you don’t understand how this cannot accomplish anything philosophically useful.

Similarly, if you read the silicon valley artificial intelligence pseudo-research happening specifically from the computer science perspective right now it’s kind of hilarious how much of it is elementary takes on well established philosophical questions that people think they’re discovering for the first time. Look up neuralese if you want an example. Classic example of silicon valley being so excited it ‘invented’ the taxi.

Extremely empathetic lol

I live in an apartment building so for a lot of movies I have to put on the subtitles because it would be rude to turn the volume up enough to hear the dialogue clearly. They always mix the gunshots like 8dB above the dialogue!

US midwest — I was taught both versions in school but we focused more on latin american/mexican spanish which more people around us spoke.

Nextdoor does this haha
