Yeah they could do a whole slogan and everything about it, maybe something about funding the police less or doing more oversight over police departments! It'll be super popular and definitely won't be misrepresented.

Companies don't expect interns or new graduates to perform at the level of a senior engineer. They expect and plan that they have to ease them into the "professional workforce" somewhat.

Anyways, the biggest tech companies in Michigan are automakers, Dow chemicals, and Whirlpool. These are all respectable places and have different expectations than X or OpenAI or companies like that.

In this metaphor, your dude in a digger could also be drunk or a thief or bad at his job, and that'd be a bigger problem vs. a few people from a 100 person hand crew.

People are always talking past each other in the comments here because when some people hear "journalism" they think "national coverage reporting like what you see on TV, NYT, or Twitter maximized for eyeballs and engagement".

They should be thinking "coverage about local elections and politicians, and investigative work".

More Block Club Chicago or Oklahoma Watch.

Less Buzzfeed or CNN.

- I've been playing the original Doom on and off for more than 20 years now. The weapons and monsters are perfectly balanced and fair, and there's a ton of extra levels and mods, with new ones even still being released.

- It's not necessarily one game, but they're all so similar that I'll count it: whatever the current Need for Speed game is (Unbound, Payback, etc.). The arcade-style racing handling is more satisfying to me than "realistic" racing, and customizing the cars is a lot of fun.

Texas Tribune, CalMatters, Montana Free Press, Mission Local -- there are a lot of very successful nonprofit newsrooms throughout the country.

It's actually more stable than ad-supported business models because small donor subscription revenue is consistent (like a SaaS business), unlike ad revenue which is much more volatile.

- continue - do it - go for it - sure - ship it

Something like the above unless I want it to add some nuance to whatever it was going to do e.g. "do it, but don't commit the change"

It's not one particular entrepreneur, but my favorite are the long-term local small business owners, like the guy I met a few months ago that's had a tire shop in town since the 70s. They've found a sustainable way to make a living providing something useful for their local community. That should really be the goal.

The role of a CEO is basically to make tough decisions, not really to be some sort of friendly face in meetings.

If the AI clone is not empowered to make decisions on Zuck's behalf, what's the point? If it is empowered to make decisions on his behalf, who is accountable for bad decisions it makes?

Engineering Ethics is a standard required class in any engineering discipline and a whole field of discussion. The ethics of working on military stuff (or even just government stuff) is nowhere near as cut and dry as your question seems to imply.

For example:

- What if the country asked you to develop technology to track and hack journalists or political rivals the administration doesn't like?

- What if the country asked you to develop chemical weapons? Is it different if the weapons would be used on their own population or only on external "enemies"?

- What if the country asked you to personally assassinate a civilian of another country? What if they asked you to create a program that would do that? What if they asked you to simply create a list of targets, and you knew they'd be assassinated?

- What if the country asked you to build something in an unsafe way that you're pretty certain will cause harm to people?

- What if the country asked you to make a public statement lying about the purpose behind what you're building?

More than .07% of my net worth, which is what his giving works out to.

> Based on a lot of real world experience, I'm convinced LLM-generated documentation is worse than nothing. It's a complete waste of everybody's time.

I had a similar realization. My team was discussing whether we should hook our open-source codebases into an AI to generate documentation for other developers, and someone said "why can't they just generate documentation for it themselves with AI"? It's a good point: what value would our AI-generated documentation provide that theirs wouldn't?

Looks like Forsyth County is the richest county in Georgia and has a median household income of apparently $140k/yr (and median home price of ~$500k), so ballpark something close to that hourly rate does seem necessary if you want to have a median life *within that county*.

But nobody is advocating for setting the minimum wage equal to what it would cost to comfortably live in the wealthiest part of a state.
