Those are close to Starbucks prices so I imagine McCafes. You can get a mediocre McD coffee for $1.

She'd probably have to appeal arbitration but I think this all could be overturned based on California labor laws.

I may be wrong but it appears that he rediscovers the Church-Turing thesis in this work.

It's a herd mentality for both. AI may be the next big thing. And the old things need realignment.

So the "market" demands sacrifice basically and there is cover when everyone else is doing it. You can be contrarian but your stock may get punished. Intel may not have a good plan anyway. The reason the market demands sacrifice is likely because of predicted unfavorable economic headwinds (etc... so signs of recession or what not). These predictions could be wrong though. Companies do constantly realign though, product initiatives fail etc...

I don't think the character makes sense in the current political environment.

>An unusual part of OpenAI is that everything, and I mean everything, runs on Slack. There is no email. I maybe received ~10 emails in my entire time there. If you aren't organized, you will find this incredibly distracting. If you curate your channels and notifications, you can make it pretty workable.

This is super interesting. I work in a group where everything is on slack and some pieces are/were super hard. So much so that I want an AI assistant that can manage my slack feed etc... I feel like an AI bot/slack integration is a thing that needs to be done well.

People are extremely uncomfortable with uncertainty, especially about themselves. So they create explanations... Programmers also don't like uncertainty so they create programming languages. There's also a bit of "not invented here" syndrome.

Languages like Haskell are really applied type theory etc... In some sense, the academics invent languages for different levels of abstraction to ultimately write papers about how useful they are.

In terms of programming languages, personality wise, in the end it's all javascript. Then there is Java and the Jvm which is on a mission to co-opt multiple personalities.

This is the correct philosophy.

At some point mother is the necessity of invention which is a shift in perspective. You may have to make a market for yourself basically. It's not easy. This being a YC site, I would go through and apply to all of the interesting YC work at a startup places. There is an opportunity right now to understand AI and how to apply it to the digital workplace. Anyway, it is not easy and I wish you the best of luck!
