It's the alternative to cutting your pinky finger off.

Current neural networks are basically a set of highly sophisticated statistical rules. So unless the Facebook engineers have come up with some new breakthrough, they probably won't be able to build something much better than what's already around, as statistics can only take you so far.

I want to read "And Ned Fas Viel".

The meaning of my statement is basically that the online leftists talk about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture. An apocalyptic event that will fix everything that's wrong with the world and create utopia. In consequence, both groups talk about their chosen apocalyptic event without actually doing anything to improve the world. Of course its not all Christians and leftists, just the bottom of the barrel of the respective groups.

There's even an example of that with a related cult, the Bed Bath and Beyond guys. Said company went under, but the memestock holders still continued the copium.

The "revolution" is basically the left wing version of the rapture.

In addition to what you said, laying off the bottom 10% performers gives your employees a conflict of interest. Now it's better for them if their coworkers perform worse, and worse performing coworkers hurts the company. This may crop up in workers not helping each other out, or deliberately writing bad documentation.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I can make solid arguments for working in person. Seriously! But I won’t bother with this crowd. (I can probably argue better for remote work, but it’s complicated.)

If you're not going to make an argument, then why do you even bother saying that you could? All you told me is that you're not confident enough to make unpopular statements.

Couldn't they just plant some of these bad boys along the road? Like, put two in the center, and you have a pedestrian refuge island.

And they can't necessarily compensate by rising prices. So I don't see what your point is.

The problem with that argument is that prices can't be raised indefinitively without negatively impacting revenue. If prices go up, demand goes down. So, yeah, basically all arguments that increased costs get handed off to consumers are flawed, if a business can increase its profit by raising prices, they are going to do so sooner or later, anyway. They might wait for an excuse to do so, but even then they won't wait forever.

People who can't maintain a reasonable and prudent speed also shouldn't have a driver's license, either. Still, it does happen, but it shouldn't.

People who can't dodge stationary objects shouldn't have a driver's license. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it really shouldn't.

Well, maybe they just picked a community more or less at random. I, for example, don't have a particular reason to have picked sh.itjust.works. It was simply the first community I came across. Do you have a reason why you picked this community specifically instead of any of the others?

There's also a good chance the so called 'whale' isn't actually that financially well off, and is being manipulated by the game into spending more than they can actually afford.

A lot of these microtransactions are designed to prey on vulnerable individuals, at the expense of making the games worse for those who don't pay. It's an exploitative business model that should be outlawed.

I don't think you need AI for that.

• First, anticipating what groceries are low: Simplest implementation would be a list where the user manually enters additions and removals.
• Secondly searching every flier and website in the city. Okay that one will be a bit trickier. First you'd need to gather a list of all stores in the city, and then look for any deal. The big challenge here is that they don't just have a common API where you check. You either need to program a bot to scrape all their web presences, or convince them to provide the information in a common format.
• The last step seems like it could be related to the traveling salesman problem.

The gaming magazine was good though, but it deteriorated over time. And the publication ceased 2019. I stopped reading well before then.
