This comparison overlooks the fact that, in the original folktale, the stone soup remains a soup —- it never turns into a ribeye steak. Similarly, in the AI version, an LLM will always remain an LLM.

Re:Updates to H-1B
on Thursday December 19, 2024 @01:25PM (#42464306)
Not all H1B holders have advanced degrees, and the reason some of them do is because that’s one of the immigration pathways —- pay for a 1-2-year Master’s degree so you get a better chance of landing an H1B after you graduate. Most citizens don’t go for advanced degree because there’s no utility in them, and not because they aren’t smart.

So if you look at the flip side, the on call engineer is being misled by AI ~60% of the time. The question is does this slow them down more or less than the speedup they get when the AI is right the other 40% of the time.

If you ask your employer to work from Lisbon as opposed to SF, you'll likely get a 3x-5x reduction in total compensation. I doubt Cloudflare (or any other) CEO's compensation will get the same readjustment for cost of living if he moves from the SF office to the Lisbon office.

Autodesk is not a software company but a marketing company. They just buy smaller competitors and repackage their stuff. If you think of them that way, that can make the organizational structure clearer.

You can travel between the countries you hold a passport of regardless of what emergency rules they impose. No country refused entry to its own citizens during the pandemic.

You can argue in the opposite direction that stealing $1,000 should be prioritized because it gives more buying power to those criminal gangs and it finances more criminal activity than the $100.

Re:Lawsuit over online book lending could bankrupt Internet Archive
on Tuesday June 02, 2020 @12:21PM (#23392755)
I think one argument that they could make is that regular libraries are closed during the pandemic and there are thousands of physical copies that people can’t borrow because of the closures. Hence, their making available more digital copies than they physically own can be somewhat justified. The fact that they made that number unbounded is what’s most problematic. Had they just increased their limits by some guesstimated number of unavailable books, it would’ve made for a much easier day in court.
