Yeah yeah, we love you too.

Glad I could give you a reason to comment too.

I downvote every mention of Musk. Thought I would comment on this one to let everyone know.

Yes, I think that’s the implied point. Some things. Not everything.

Article doesn’t explicitly state this but it is very likely this would need to be trained extensively on each individual brain. So there would almost certainly be an explicit opt in.

Edit: didn’t watch the video. No thanks YouTube.

Probably replaced by Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).

Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.

Edit: Forgot another reason for recanting a firing: your boss told you that you don’t have the authority. Nothing takes away your leadership teeth like that…

This attitude is so broken. You don’t need to look for a new job, you just can do more complex things now. You get to play an orchestra, not just a single instrument.

Not always. In fact this is not often true at all for me. Both videos and essays can be too long and rambling. I would rather skim an essay than a video.

Teleportation, because the only upside to invisibility is subterfuge. Not that I am some saint who denies ever wanting that, it just seems like teleportation would be just as good at any use case invisibility has. It would also have lots of very life changing above board benefits too.

One of many things that will happen when you try to regulate esoteric concepts like “AI”. It all goes dark on you, but it still happens regardless and benefits the few instead of the many.

Most interested in HDR. Game was super washed out and it was so distracting I stopped playing. Did it improve?

I use this https://github.com/TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer

Works great so far. Have it running on a PI with DHCP too. Multi vlan/subnet support through single NIC. Solid.

I save so much water since I started working from home.

I thought I heard they were doing Project Hail Mary.

Edit: Yep, Ryan Gosling, directed by Lord & Miller.

I used to interview all the time. I thought it was a fun, important process, so they kept giving them to me… until one day a candidate stormed out. We had a panel on one side of the table that had devolved into one-upping each other on who could ask the best brain teasers. Finally the candidate literally said, “Fuck this.” Then got up and walked out. HR asked us WTF and we shrugged and blew it off, but I knew why. We all knew.

Sometime after that I changed my tact into making interviews conversations to get to know each other instead. If I did send someone to a whiteboard, I always got off my ass and joined them up there. Made it a collaboration exercise and never asked any bullshit. Did that for maybe six months to a year and got some awesome people from that process…

At the end of that stretch, HR sat in on one and saw the process for the first time… sometime later I stopped being asked to interview. No reason was given, the invites just stopped coming in. We kept hiring people but I wasn’t a part of it anymore. Coincidence?

Backblaze here.

Just a wild guess: A video that you have to sit through on YouTube about a list of books to read. Probably is deeply unsettling to people who like the world to make sense.

Anyway that’s why I personally closed it once I realized it was a video link.

So Populous.

Edit: sorta

The US Navy has probably around 100 nuclear powered vessels, both submarines and Nimitz class carriers. Each of those have miniature nuclear plants on them.

I know their use cases are different but small and portable is small and portable. Virginia class subs typically stayed within cost budgets, but newer V blocks saw cost overruns, as well as the Gerald Ford carrier, which was about 3 billion over budget if I remember.

Not sure if overruns were due to being nuclear or because of other reasons. They are high tech military items that aren’t exactly mass produced, so lots of ways to overrun. However they are more mass produced than nuclear power stations in the civilian sector. Maybe some lessons can be learned.

Edit: Also forgot an important point that modularization was a key design point of the Virginia sub.
