Is it still a sound strategy if AGI is near? Can we even know how near each company is to AGI without knowing the quality of the training and theory in both the American and Chinese firms? Do these companies even know how close each other are to AGI?

Would anyone go out of their way to read any of Twain if it wasn’t required high school reading?

Also the American Homer is/was Garrison Keillor. Homer’s delivery was oral and radio is surely closer to oratory than books.

I’m sympathetic but AI claims are to be disbelieved until proven anymore. That’s a well poisoned thoroughly by not just American companies.

This isn’t open though. Promises to be open later aren’t worth anything, given what we’ve seen and heard from AI execs making promises in this industry.

Why not use Java, C#, or Swift in that case?

Noob here, would that not also have potentially been found during routine maintenance inspections?

The last time was 2009-2010 for the Democrats. The Republicans have never held 60 seats.

But the real crime is that the left never exploited that. If I was in charge, I’d have mountains of draft legislation vetted, proofread, run by every lawmaker, and printed out years before any potential majority just in case it ever came about. Whoever was in charge of the DNC in 2009 should feel ashamed of letting a generational advantage largely go to waste.

If you can listen to someone play the piano with two hands, it’s a short hop to get to speech.

Felt the same way. Failed the last three like that with legitimate words.

English majors seem to have banded together to crown only the most inaccessible and politically charged authors as worthy of attention. If you like anyone else, you're just too inexperienced or partisan to appreciate real literature. To hell with them.

The answer is Brandon Sanderson who is freely sharing his knowledge of how to write with the world. His teachings will touch more in the coming years than any stodgy 1920s writer ever cared to.

For example, I think today a strong PM with no technical ability can produce higher quality technical output compared to a mediocre frontend developer with no project management ability.

Wishful thinking by the managerial class. At best they can vibe code but they can’t verify that what was written is correct.

Is this the British equivalent of the American Vermin Supreme?

Do you not have shoulder lanes? I ask because I’ve lived places that don’t and I’ve always wondered if you just die if EMS doesn’t have a lane to get to you.

You had Shingles after never having chicken pox except the vaccine?

Has it ever been proven that the board knew that Theranos was fraudulent? I’m speaking broadly - of course they probably had their own suspicions.

HN has been compromised by propaganda bots that can't decide between "The US is a paper tiger that can't win anything" and "The US is bullying poor Iran". Only a fool would think the US can't win militarily. Here's how:

1. Flatten Kharg

2. Flatten a dozen roads critical to transportation infrastructure

3. Continue the blockade

4. Stonewall peace attempts

5. Wait 5-6 weeks and win

The Trump administration isn't doing that because they're trying to avoid another generation unconditionally hating the US again. Having enemies that blindly hate you is how you get into Russia's situation where even an outright victory will result in IRA-style Ukrainian terrorist groups.

Enjoy death threats for the rest of your life and longer. Art Modell croaked over a decade ago and you can still feel the vitriol when listening to Browns fans talk about him.

How did they query his GDID/PUID to make the arrest though? Does the browser have access to it during some requests? Also, if it’s stored as plaintext, what’s stopping anyone from randomizing it on machine startup?

If you feel ambivalent about this, consider the “Influenced By” and “Influenced” sections on the Rust page (or C++ or Java) and decide for yourself if Odin is more or less notable than those languages that have blue links.

I don’t want to be flippantly dismissive but surely there was a certain other event in 2008 that caused many families to reconsider the financial wisdom of starting a family.

Until HIPAA is gone, we’ll never be able to make use of enough data to truly make a difference for those last two.

Ban, limits, and regulation won’t solve a country with too many worker protections. The EU simply can’t compete in the modern globalized world.

What if they purchase the information from a company peddling it rather than compelling cell phone companies to hand it over?

What would you say to someone who is afraid that a bad actor will find their kids on Discord/Minecraft/4chan and encourage them to commit suicide or shoot up their school?

Yeah they straight up say that their criteria is narrow and primarily important for their specific use case. Never let rationality cause your pitchfork to be cast away though!

It’s $6 for every C&C ever made right now.

Are the fragments destroyed in ‘69 and ‘80 available to be read similarly? Or were they disposed of?

Some more reading on his work ethic from John himself on this very site.

Is Direct3D not dead? I’m seeing no major releases in years, no notable features pushed (much less teased), and no team to speak of at MS. Is there a team still? Does MS plan to do anything with it? Seems like it’s Bush-era Internet Explorer at this point.

No I understand that the Suez Canal is unique but there are other ways one ship can blow it for everyone. Dumped toxic cargo for one.
