user_named··on British sandwiches and walking 300km of Wainwright's coast to coast
Always impressed how this person continues to write about nothing, capturing photos of nothing. Requires a special type of intellect.
user_named··on Log is the "Pro" in iPhone 15 Pro
Frankly, the writing is bad. Overly verbose, poorly structured, heavily editorialized section titles.
user_named··on Does Market Timing Work?
This isn't an answer to the poster above. The point is Meta talking about putting all their annual profit on fire. That makes the stock useless for investors.
user_named··on Does Market Timing Work?
Ok which strategies.

Don't forget the Canadian threat

user_named··on Translating Latin demonology manuals with GPT-4 and Claude
No no, it hallucinated. It didn't get the OCR wrong.
user_named··on Translating Latin demonology manuals with GPT-4 and Claude
I tried using BingGPT to translate simple Chinese text from screenshots. The results were complete hallucinations, different each time for the same screenshot.

I wouldn't trust these translations at all.

user_named··on When CEOs Are Paid for Bad Performance (2005)
My brother was the ceo of a smaller company. In 2009 he cut his own salary to be able to retain employees. A few years later he resigned when the founder and chairman was pushing him to do something semi-illegal. While he was looking for a new job, which takes some time at this level, his wife divorced him and somehow instantly had a new relationship.
user_named··on Sweden turns to military to help police combat gang crime
This is exactly it. Sweden took in the lowest quality immigrants, that did not even have id, lied about which country they're from and many were convicted criminals.

user_named··on Counter Strike 2 is here
I have played CS since the first day of the first beta version in 1999. Was also a semi pro and stopped when I went to uni.

CS2 is the best CS so far. Much better than CSGO. They nailed all the important stuff and minor stuff will get fixed. Just got a new laptop and started grinding CS2 while waiting to start my new job.

The Swedish way is better.
user_named··on FTC sues Amazon for illegally maintaining monopoly power
This is a classic antitrust case. Like the film studios in Hollywood controlled talent, finance, production and distribution, Amazon controls too many parts of the process giving them undue market power with which they abuse their so called partners. They should absolutely be broken up.
user_named··on FTC sues Amazon for illegally maintaining monopoly power
The issue is that Amazon is taking over more and more parts of the process from manufacturing to delivery to the end user.

What you don't seem to understand is that they "let" Amazon handle warehousing and logistics because Amazon has in many ways forced this.

user_named··on Why can’t Americans buy cheap Chinese EVs?
All components used by Apple are designed and manufactured in China. Apple just slaps their logo on it.
user_named··on Why can’t Americans buy cheap Chinese EVs?
Because America is not a free market and never has been

It's funny
user_named··on Outperforming larger language models with less training data and smaller models

user_named··on How to evaluate a product roadmap, for engineers
Right, so you're claiming that everything in your roadmap is scoped? That's what the article says to require.
