It still matters a bit for architectural direction - but those roles are so few I wouldn’t be concerned as an American.
“Choose a region, where two squares don’t fit, -> 16(??)”
I consider myself literate (maybe not adept) with advanced maths, but this confuses me and requires a lot of assumptions on my end.
Water will quench your thirst. You can also drown in it.
Fire will warm your hands. Sticking you hands in a fire is a bad idea.
Acute stress, induced by exercise / caloric restriction, is feedback to trigger beneficial cellular behavior.
Chronic stress, no exercise / eating poorly through starvation or overconsumption (a “heroic dose”) will certainly kill you sooner.
This is a highly uncertain and dangerous scenario. Breeding ground for anxiety.
High agency people often deal (cope) with anxiety by trying to control outcomes. Some just flee the situation altogether.
We have an example of both here: one employee leaves, one stays.
The legal system tells itself this noble story of measured action without realizing it actually became the bad guy many decades ago.
My brief little opinion here is half informed from dating a lawyer for a few years.
Source: I work on an operating system.
Roughly that.
Someone makes money identifying you and selling that data to advertisers.
If your pseudonym is famous/infamous someone makes money / cultivates attention if they identify you.
There is a basic instinct to uncover the unknown.
Unless the above systems are disabled then the drive to unify identity will be ceaseless.
I’m not against taxes to be very clear. Tax something else.
For the purpose of inverting a negative vector, you can think of squaring as rotating the vector around the unit circle, 180 degrees, to make it positive. Higher order powers just keep rotating that vector back and forth- from this perspective the other even powers are the same transformation. Obviously with the magnitude being different.
Maybe the game has changed with LLMs, but its been a running joke that engineers will build a startup/product/library/thing only to then realize they can’t get any users and that marketing and sales are hard.
Attention and mind share are more valuable than ever. If you can’t answer “Why should I care about X?” then you are fighting an uphill battle.
Changing peoples behaviors >cost money<. Using your number here, taxis had a 25% value prop. That was just the cost of getting people to change.
I don’t care for Uber, but many many many businesses give people initial discounts and then full price later
The whole argument is moot though given self driving cars are going to wipe out the industry.
The CLI can swap to whatever model (/models) based on your subscriptions.
The copilots on desktop or Office Apps are likely just GPT5 nano or other tiny models with cheap inference
The real issue is actually measuring results. I think we have to design society to factor higher order effects in. That means a fundamentally new approach to things like voting and tracking accountability.
Is it even possible? Who knows. Sometimes I think our problems have outstripped individual life spans which makes them intractable.
Your comment is irrelevant otherwise because last time I checked cars are the real problem, and concerns over e bikes / delivery bots is just another lame extension of “safetyism” and ignorance around public transport failures that just misses the mark.
“Riding in traffic” is half the issue here. Like trying to explain water to fish.
I’ve become quite radicalized on trains after visiting Japan and Switzerland myself.
Honestly I had to read the wiki page of false equivalence and you’re not asserting the fallacy correctly.
Applied ZKPs are being actively worked on in the blockchain sphere.
The prompts and responses are used as training data. Even if your provider allows you to opt out they are still tracking your usage telemetry and using that to gauge performance. If you don’t own the storage and compute then you are training the tools which will be used to oppress you.
Incredibly naive comment.
Tidal has much more 24 bit options when I did an A/B.
The dynamic range difference is very material on quality sound setups.
As a side note Bluetooth (at least for Airpods) only does 16-bit!
In theory a fun example, but practically it doesn’t play out the way you’re describing.
It comes from stability. Predictability.
Courts and law enforcement certainly provide these things, but they are not required. The inherent design of blockchains makes them trustworthy (an oversimplified statement), which is even better.
You might also be profiled by Google and bucketed into a group of similar people who leak their data. They also went to this website and their YT recommendations became a signal to inform your own.
Not claiming any certainty here just possible ideas.
But yeah there is a strict vs colloquial collision here.
Supporting DNS all up should be possible but organizing the other decentralized services (compute, storage) is the hard part
