probably for the best. just like how calculators are banned in classrooms until you get the hang of computation, AI should be banned while critical thinking/writing/social skills are still being developed
That doesn't address the supply chain risk designation? Or the ban on all work with claude for contractors, incl. non-government work?
Even if they disagreed, this was clearly retaliatory for not capitulating. The government could have just decided to go with a different provider.
seriously. instant indicator that their world view is irreversibly warped by tiktok politics.
F*CK. take everything from me why dontcha?
>2.5% is likely still survivable, but i think risk departments + regulators are all a lot less risk tolerant after seeing how quickly things went south in 2008 and worries about an out of control spiral
an underrated reason for the decline in windows is that it went from a core product focus to being crowded out. I wouldn't be surprised if azure, sharepoint, office 365, devices, GH/Linkedin, bing/copilot, etc are all more important to msft leadership than windows.
one of my favorite shows of all time!
I imagine this is due to the decline of local civic life. When you're a stay at home parent, and you are a part of some voluntary association, a church, PTA-type organizations, and the neighborhood is filled with other stay at home parents that you can organize play dates with (or hang out with while the kids are at school), life is less lonely.
fascinating, hope our critical infrastructure can handle this. how long does something like this last, and will it have an effect on artemis 2?
hypothetical: if a carrington event-esque storm happens during the mission, how badly will the houston <-> orion module communication links be affected?
A core assumption of capitalism is that when individuals act in their own self-interest, their actions tend to produce outcomes that are beneficial for society as a whole. This seems like a compelling piece of evidence!
talk to me when we start domesticating bears!
i've seen some queries that look like they were written by an engineer with CTE
what advantages does swift offer over go/rust/js/java for server side programming? I always presumed the advantages of swift were native code compilation + top tier integration w/the apple ecosystem.
i feel like this is being blown way out of proportion. learning git is never the bottleneck to becoming a software engineer, and it doesn't take longer than an hour to grasp the basics.
CS majors should learn it just by messing around with projects, but I don't see why an otherwise great candidate couldn't learn it very quickly
1) he represented openAI at APEC just yesterday. what happened in 24 hours that would cause such a drastic decision.
2) generally, even when a board fires a CEO, they rarely "call them out" or say what they did wrong. they must have some extremely strong evidence against him.
i think it could be any of the following:
- something personal, i.e. the controversy w/his sister
- a financial issue: chatgpt stopped signups a couple of days ago
- a safetyist coup: maybe the board thought he was moving to fast
- a microsoft coup: microsoft used its power to knock out what they perceived to be their biggest threat
a new bolt, with all the rebates available to CA residents, can cost as little as 12k for a single person earning less than 55k a year.
its hard to find a reliable used car for that price, let alone a new ev! i don't know what gm was thinking when they killed it.
I really hope this works. Siri is essentially useless except for very small commands like "Call X", and even if X is a clear and unique name sometimes it messes it up. Apple is miles behind google and alexa :/
in 10 years we will see posts on hackernews and cscq wondering why europe has so few AI giants...
"Immigrants from poorer countries will do anything for a buck. It becomes a race to the bottom. As long as conditions here don't get worse than where they came from they'll be happy. But for us, its just down, down down in terms of quality of living."
would you be open to mass immigration from europe and east asia, in that case? some of the countries have even higher standards of living, so logically those immigrants will demand better and raise our standards of living. Also, most cities like san diego, miami, dallas, atlanta etc have all become safer, cleaner, and the QoL has increased dramatically from 30-40 years ago. These cities have all become increasingly immigrant populated relative to 30-40 years ago, many of these immigrants coming from latin america or asia.
"If rural hospitals need to pay doctors even more than so be it. I want that job going to an American."
the crux of the issue is that there literally aren't enough american doctors. med schools giving recruitment preferences to doctors willing to work in rural areas + a much higher salary + a much lower COL still aren't enough to attract american doctors there. I don't know what magical solution you have to make thesecommunities desirable destinations but I am all ears.
"Is it concerning because I don't care about what society thinks? Is it concerning that I don't care about getting an attaboy (e.g. karma) for towing society's latest groupthink?"
no? There are many valid arguments to heavily restrict immigration, largely based on middle class incomes and cultural attrition, i just don't see how any of those apply to doctors in rural areas. and i was responding to how you openly admitted that you dislike it because wall street likes it. seems like a bad way to approach policy!
can you be more specific in how letting qualified doctors and engineers from other countries (doesn't even have to be third world, a lot of british doctors would move here given their starting salary of 30k) will turn us into a third world country?
also, the wage argument doesn't make sense because rural doctors earn more than urban doctors due to the low desirability of the location, and despite med schools specifically selecting for students who are willing to become rural doctors, they still cannot find enough doctors to fill those spots.

its also concerning that the reason you decided to oppose immigration was not for a tangible reason, but because wall street supports it. seems like contrarianism run amok. did you become a communist because wall street supports capitalism?
what? The bolt is like ~27k for a base model, and then you get like 10k max from the government bringing you to 17k?
where is the last 5-6k coming from?
I have literally not seen a single conference she has held without being flanked by sfpd officers. a key tenet of her campaign was rebuilding the relationship between the DA and sfpd. She supported every sfpd budget increase under her tenure and dropped charges on like the second sfpd cop to ever be charged by the city. her first major political move post appointment was backing a mayor/sfpd proposal to increase surveillance.
not saying if this is good or bad, and i don't know enough about the bail system to have an opinion, but its bad faith to say that she is not pro police, or at least pro sf police
how about before doing that, sfpd starts doing basic stuff like foot patrols in targeted neighborhoods, dealer arrests, and bait cars? start working with primitive tools and then gain access to more advanced ones as you reach bottlenecks.
multiple things can be true: SFPD is a borderline PAC at this point and does nothing, and the DAs office was reaching incredible amounts of incompetence under the previous DA, rivaled only by the rest of sf's government. whether it was literally showing up to court unprepared and getting chewed out by judges, being tone deaf towards certain communities, or seeming extremely aloof and nonchalant in the face of real crime concerns (blaming republicans doesn't work when there are like 3 of them in SF)
i don't trust the current DA's office either bc she was appointed by our incompetent mayor + is very cozy with the sfpd w/o recusing herself from cases involving them.
its probably the best way to approach this. Waymo doesn't need to waste its time on all the complicated regulations and technology around just ridesharing + Uber gets a foot back in the door to AVs.
