These requirements usually tie back to legal CYA mechanisms, government agency meddling, or rent-seeking licensing bodies. They have nothing to do with disseminating knowledge.

I see a huge problem. We should not have politicians going to experts and saying “take this solution we don’t understand and go find problems for it.”

"I command you to do more linear algebra"

This could have been the story that cast them in a positive light, if they were honest about it. They were beyond dishonest. Operators at the event were instructed not to give a clear answer when attendees asked if the robots were autonomous or not. It's like going to disney world and asking "are you the real mickey mouse" except the investors actually need to know if its mickey mouse (spoiler: it wasn't)

at the very least you could say "parsing and predicting text, images, and audio". and you would be correct - physical embodiment and spatial reasoning are missing.

I know its not the feedback you came here for, but all the scroll-to-animate on this website is quite distracting. The concept is great, you could be more straight to the point about it.

There are valid selling points to rust's safety features, but this just feels like "I use rust because I need my compiler to be my training wheels". More of a self-own than anything.

How do you know? It's rare that anyone even tries to replicate scientific results outside of clinical medicine

The kids have never seen 8K and will not for some time. I can see why Tata would argue for the necessity of this upgrade though.

If you're interested in this topic, there is probably no better source now than the recent John Romero autobiography Doom Guy

Actually I'm pretty sure Mexicans are killing Mexico's forests

The primary difference is that animal agriculture provides a societal benefit.

Google has still not recovered from the internal cultural disaster that was material design.

Somehow code quality has become a topic completely divorced from product quality.

Your users don't care how clean your source code is, but they definitely care if it's slow and buggy.

I agree, it seems like they left it to rot instead of shutting it down. But again it is irrelevant to the business so who cares?

Twitter should not care about having an onion service.

Great example of a distraction that the Musk downsizing properly removed.

I don't think you can say that the screen time made you nearsighted. It happens naturally with age to millions of people. Just get a prescription.

Why does anyone still give a shit what DHH says?

I do think he's being genuine here.

On the other hand, is it good or bad for Nvidia when brilliant people start new tech companies?

Business relationships with the venues. They are equally to blame.

No it doesn't suggest that at all lol

How exactly is that a good way to think about it? What proportion of employees at a tech company are tasked with bringing in revenue and why would that be expected to scale linearly?

Google is a terrible point of comparison because we have plenty of direct evidence that thousands of people at Google are doing nothing of any consequence to the business

"experts"

If it was just search that was broken and needed fixing, then a competitor would have stomped google search into the dust already. The reality is that the internet itself is now 99.99% shit thanks to the SEO insanity that Google created.

This is exactly the kind of thing the academics are warning you about when they say things like "peer review is important" and "don't read arxiv preprints if you're not a subject matter expert"

Nice headline

Bandcamp wasn't on my enshittification bingo card

Unfortunately par for the course these days. At least they did remove the article. Citing "editorial standards" is weak sauce though, the point of having editorial standards is so they can be applied by the editor before publication...

Perhaps an enterprising HN reader will do some research and flesh out the wikipedia article.
