I think that's the wrong way to look at it. They do have skin in the game, in the sense that their readers wouldn't want to pay for a newspaper that is consistently wrong. And, even if they don't, it doesn't mean that it's not valuable

+1 on C. I actually started reading it back to front and have been having much more fun.

How many words did I read in this article before I realized it wasn't written by AI? 10? 20? A paragraph or two?

It's quite strange that it's very easy to detect AI in writing.

The web is too open. Sad day to read these comments.

Hello! I just signed up. Is there a way I can view past book discussions?

dang, I feel like my Bay to Breaker tote bag value just went up 10x right?

azure is tough for me.

Yeah...it's so close to other beautiful nature. not to mention two world class university near by.

agree it'll never happen, but very cool idea.

wow really? Did soccer also go through a statistical revolution? I don't watch soccer at all and am pretty surprised to hear this. Did all the teams converge on a winning solution?

wow! I've always thought of them as some ruthless finance people with huge egos. This piece made me think differently. Very moving read!

dang it i just did this on a zoom meeting. hopefully no one saw me trying to cross my eyes

authn or authz? Authentication is not terrible to build but authorization yeah, I'm totally with you there. It's hard.

How do you know you're not the midwit? To me it seems quite reasonable that author is the one over complicating everything, and in reality coding interviews are just not that bad.

[edit: they're not that bad in the sense that hiring is a inherently lossy process of projecting something incredibly complicated, like skills, personality, motivation, and situation into a 45 minute interview where only 1 or 2 dimension can be measured. If you increase the time/cost and do hire fast fire fast, then fine, you can get a better interview process, but it's not free. Other industries use stamps and certs to do that sorting, also not cost free. Coding interviews, yes we all hate it, but it's all a tradeoff.]

Tangentially, I wonder how people mentally model "too-good-to-be-true"?

"Everything is a tradeoff" is almost a core belief for me, but in the same time, in technology, the "too-good-to-be-true" events does turn out to be real every once a while (I'm using technology here as a general concept).

I do understand GLP-1 does have some downsides, like cost, or in my own experience, nausea. But the tradeoff seems negligible compare to the upside. Part of me feels like that there is some hidden trade-off somewhere that we're not discovering, but part of me also wonders if it's a once in while technology jump, where it is just better.

Anyway, I guess I'm just a bit wary to throw away the "everything is a tradeoff" mental model that has worked quite well for me.
