The water is brown. The city admits it.

No kidding! Looking at that picture, I would be beyond worried if that was my tap water.

I love Woody Allen's speed reading joke:

"I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia."

Currently giving 504 Gateway Timeout.

I assume it was not labeled as fake when the OP sent it.

"With the setting disabled, the Mac got into a kind of wake-up frenzy, instead of waking up and processing events in batch every hour"

Still works in the Arc browser, which is Chrome-based.

The title needs "2014" to be added.

Because of the downturn, I wonder how many people have given up on their careers at Tech? How many more will respond to the call of a different professional life that pays less, but that will be more fulfilling? Even as recent as yesterday I heard a past-colleague tell me "maybe Tech isn't for me, after all. I'll try my hand at this other thing."

How smart is this anyway? Isn't this what causes the Model Collapse?

Sounds ambitious as a piece, but pretty weak.

so I am dumb

To be fair, as I read it, the criticism was directed at your work and not you. We all make mistakes.

Same in Türkiye where "çay" (with the same pronunciation) means tea :)

Very interesting analogy. I'm a beekeeper and this is the first time I'm hearing about rogue bees. Can you please point me to a source so that I can learn about this bee behavior (or "beehavior" in short)?

I like this. It's going to be a great addition when it becomes economical to use LLMs to improve games' realism.

Here's my quick chat with Kratos:

Get in the boat, boy.

Where are we going?

We're going to find the highest peak in all the realms, so that we can scatter your mother's ashes. Now row, boy.

Aren't you going to help me row?

I did not ask for your opinion, boy. You need to learn to be stronger and more independent than you currently are. Now row, and do not ask me for help again.

OK, father. I am going to miss mother.

I know, boy. So will I. But we must be strong. There are many dangers in these realms and we have a long journey ahead of us. Stay focused and stay alert. And remember, boy, emotions are a weakness. We must keep our emotions in check if we are going to survive.

I still have so much to learn. I want to be strong and wise like you when I grow up

You will, boy. But you must remain disciplined and dedicated. The path to greatness is not an easy one, and it requires sacrifice and hard work. You still have much to learn, but I will teach you everything you need to know.

Which one is more important, father? Strong body or strong mind?

Both are equally important, boy. A strong body can help you survive in battle and face physical challenges. But a strong mind can help you stay focused, make good decisions, and overcome mental obstacles. To be truly great, you must have both. And that is why you must train every day, both physically and mentally. So keep rowing, boy. We have a long way to go.

Let me be the devil's advocate: don't people already listen to and trust other people who have biases?

"Tesla will deliver an over-the-air software update to cars to address the issues, the recall notice said"

A bit of a sensational title compared to what this really is.

Wow! Immediately downvoted, on the topic of books?!? I wonder which one triggered such a negative reaction.

My best nonfiction read was The 1619 Project. It's a heavy read, but I highly recommend it. The runner up would be Christian Livermore's We Are Not OK.

Best fiction read was Tim Winton's Breath or (there's probably some recency bias at play here) Sebastian de Castel's Traitor's Blade.

I also read a few comic books. I love the East of West series (at least the first three books).

Are you certain that it’s “low IQ” that’s causing these failures. Are you failing despite working hard? Because at 23, you’re still young. You have so much more to live.

I was going to paste the same part. If true, it must have been a very strange and toxic working environment, possibly driven by a professional bro culture.

In the past, I worked at a small company that allowed people to work 4-day weeks with a 20% drop in their salary. Because it was part of the company culture, people respected the additional constraints of working with their 4-day-week colleagues.

Thankfully it doesn’t take to be TB-L to deduce that.
