From an evolutionary standpoint, we have the most advanced pattern recognition in the world. It is, in some sense, what makes us human. It is also the root of our capacity for language, reasoning, music, etc.

Looking for exceptions to complex patterns is key to our survival over great lengths of time.

I don’t get it. What is your fixation on wealthy people?

Smelling the wafffle without tasting it: “We know what the mass isn’t if that helps!”

Huh, I knew a lady like that once

Are you telling me Johnny Cash didn’t really kill a man in Reno just to watch him die?

April 1 - “lol check out this silly thing that Google maps is doing!”

April 2 - ( ˶°ㅁ°)

I had to do the unlimited plan tbh.

It offers AI search, but you have to click it or ask a question - I think it’s similar to DDG in terms of including it.

It really works as a complete search solution with maps, images, video, translation (actually the best translation site out there).

I find that I get good results, without much AI slop, SEO garbage, etc. When I use Google, DDG, or Quant on devices that are not logged in, I definitely notice it takes more effort to get to get to the results I want.

For me, it’s worth it.

Jewish people bless their children to be “like Ephraim and Menashe.” They are two of the sons of Joseph and pretty minor characters in the story, but they are the first brothers who are treated without favoritism and actually get along.

Nope. It’s always safe to ignore any articles about “kids these days”

Creating and replicating genes is a very cool technology. But it is a far cry from going into every cell and replacing the DNA without causing any damage.

You know, it’s true - I have never heard a Linux user refer to something as sideloading, even though Linux is the platform that originated official software repositories.

Just googled the paper’s author. Yep, sure enough he seems to contract with “FounderPartners,” which describes itself as, " a team of serial entrepreneurs and M&A advisors."

I am not a coder, nor do I work in or have much knowledge of the industry. But I can tell immediately that this looks like some extra fancy BS. Designing a program to detect the quality and quantity of a person’s code commits sounds like AI mumbo-jumbo from the start. Even if it were technically possible, it would not tell you whether someone is an effective communicator, coordinates with other team members, shares productive ideas, etc.

The headline should have been:

“Consulting Firm Desperately Tries to Justify its Existence.”
