That doesn't explain why it's abuse, though. How does the company benefit by paying this foreigner $200k + benefits + immigration fees/legal bills compared to hiring a US citizen? Abuse is e.g. bringing in cheap foreign labor at below US market rate. This is not that.
It can be 10-100x faster for some tasks already. I've had it build prototypes in minutes that would have taken me a few hours to cobble together, especially in domains and using libraries I don't have experience with.
It sounds like you're saying AI is just doing brute force with a lot of force, but I can't imagine that's actually what you think, so would you mind clarifying?
EverQuest was my first real brush with agency. I was still a teenager but I loved researching strategies and game mechanics to figure out how my guild and I could play more effectively, and it paid off. We were never world first, but we got closer than we should have for the small server we were on. The feeling that the work I was doing was contributing to the success of an entire organization of people, and that this group of adults was happy to defer to me as long as my work ethic and ideas were good, was so much more powerful and motivating than anything I'd experienced in school. I don't think I felt that empowered again for another ~decade, well into my "real" career.
That is still hyperventilating in a technical sense, as is the breathing you're doing for a minute beforehand; both will result in lowering your CO2. If you're actually holding your breath and going under water, please take an intro freediving class. So many people die every year just because they don't have the basic safety training necessary to turn this activity from extraordinarily dangerous to quite safe.
Get a cheap pulse oximeter and try it yourself if you're curious. It will not cause your oxygen levels to change in any meaningful way barring some very serious health issues.
Can you elaborate? As others are saying this can be extremely dangerous. Normally I wouldn't just reiterate other comments but if it might save a life can't hurt to be sure.
Hey, small bug to report: When you share your stats, the date seems to be based off local time, not the day of the test. So like here in PT, it's 4/23, but I just did tomorrow's quiz (because it releases at 9pm PT = midnight ET); the share text should say 4/24 but it still says 4/23. Or put another way, I shared two different results with my group chat today that both said 4/23.
I'm just pointing out how implausible the claim is that the vast majority of Americans are far worse off than Spaniards. Of course there's more to life than money and GDP/capita is an imperfect measure, but the median American leads a very comfortable life.
Are companies hiring enough for this to be viable and to get 20% of first year salary? I thought all of that had died down significantly, but I haven't been following closely.
Yeah it's really hard in both this article and the comments to tell what was actually problematic and what wasn't. A lot of people seem to think ISAs are fundamentally problematic but none of their arguments seem compelling to me. It's not even really clear to me that they did/didn't deliver value. I'm assuming some of this is true, but hard to tell how much -- the CFPB isn't really giving sufficient details to know how much of what they're saying is true in spirit vs legally true political posturing. Regardless, I'll be cautioning anyone who asks me for bootcamp recommendations and is considering BloomTech.
Those schools still charge you $50k and take 4 years of your time, so I'm not sure how that comparison makes sense, particularly for working folks looking to uplevel their skills.
Data Sharing you can turn off, but Data Sharing is different from data sharing as a concept. The telematics appear to get sent regardless of what you do. It seems they intentionally chose this Data Sharing label to deceive people into thinking that all data sharing would be turned off.
This has been the number one thing stopping me from getting a Tesla. I can't believe how little privacy concerns have come up with them. Until I can have fine-grained control of what data gets sent to the mothership, or opt out entirely, I can't see myself buying one.
Do you honestly think that AWS or Google Cloud would have given them billions in credits just because they're a nonprofit? I'm all for being skeptical of powerful people's motives but that suggests a major disconnect from reality somewhere in your thinking.
