A CEO always just had to write “optimize profits”.

But IMHO what humans do is turn their intentions into reality using tools.

Intention is human, reality is perceived by humans. I feel that you need humans in the whole chain to communicate with reality (the context) and serve as translators and drivers for our tools.

Sorry that I can’t put more precise words here, but I am somehow convinced that there is a fundamental mechanism here that limits the reach of AI.

I would make the hypothesis that racism outbursts are tied to worsening life conditions.

That is the software industry. Our product is less bugged than our competitor’s.

Wait I'm Belgian and it is basically unheard of that a company cannot answer a customer's message for a month.

If it is a small company, then the owner will answer. If it is bigger, holidays will be planned so that no interruption will occur.

Companies can close completely for a week, usually between Christmas and New Year. That's all.

Hopefully this uniquely American push for dysfunctional government stays on their side of the ocean.

I found a French manufacturer called wearerewind.com who uses a heavier brass wheel and better clarity. Quite pricey though, as it is to be expected.

This make me think of Into the Wild. Its cultural appeal may come from its resonance with those ancient cautionary tales.

What I find funny is that these kind of quotes are often used to mean that older generations will always criticize younger generations, no matter what.

Uranium is not a fossil fuel, it’s a metal.

How did you replace AE?

What if the interviewer is looking for a true teammate and is put off by your attitude, and thinks you are greedy and selfish, a mercenary? You lose that good job with a test that lumps together the best and the worst actors.

If I remember correctly the rules for minimum inheritance, it’s actually (n-1)/n of the inheritance has to be dedicated to the children, where ‘n’ is the number of children.

Each child is entitled to 1/n of that.

If I have 5 children, I have to give them 4/5 of the inheritance. Each one will have 1/5 of that 4/5.

And in the case of a sole child, she must receive 100% of 50% of the inheritance, at least.

People with ADHD who medicate are less likely to suffer from drug addiction than the general population, not more.

But only after denying their responsibility for a few years.
