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.
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.
A lot of medicines are taken sublingually, because absorption is expected to be higher than through the oral route. Does fluoride not get absorbed that way?
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.
The quantity of artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, etc.) in that many cokes, many of which were shown to be carcinogenic in experiments with rats, can’t be good for him…
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.
Doesn’t that assume that Twitter actually knows that Elon is behind them? They could simply be other investors who have already decided to sell to Elon.
That’s why free speech policies shouldn’t be dictated by partisan concerns. You never know who will be in control of your social media platform in the future.
They seem to all walk in a straight line. Are they not able to make turns? It’s hard to tell if they’re even perceiving the VR environment or just doing their own thing on the sphere.
The majority of H-1B employees at FAANG come on L-1 visas first. There’s no direct comparison because they join the company in a different country and a different market. The bar is not the same as the number of open positions in one market vs the other is not the same.
So we’re looking at a future where if you buy a phone from a phone company, it will come preloaded with their own version of the app store and a bunch of spyware apps selling you upgrades?
This is all good if you’re just given sprint tasks and expected to crank out code for them without much supervision. What happens when any 2 of the 5 jobs decide to schedule a recurring meeting at the same time?
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.
If the value then drops 10x, you won’t get your property tax refunded. If prices end up going up and down like bitcoin, you’d need to have some protection.
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.
