I don't understand. You said FAANG caps out at around 350. But you're at FAANG and made more than that in years 3 and 4.

I don't understand this approach to relationships. Isn't the main thing just whether you love her? If you love her, how could you stand not being with her, and if you don't love her, why would you want to be with her?

Why do they wait so long to pass the budget?

I don't see how this law gives the government arbitrary power. It just forces government employees to do the job they agreed and are being paid to do.

I thought they'd wait longer than most people to ask that.

I don't have much experience dating East Asians, but one did ask me to be her boyfriend on the third date before we'd even kissed. I thought that was odd.

I'm not saying they're obligated to do anything. I am saying that in conversations with white nationalists where they're trying to convince me of white nationalism, they have rarely made any effort to define white people and I find that frustrating.

I have Android 14, but I didn't know it had this ability.
I'm not disputing that you can control notifications from within Android's settings. I'm disputing that you can't control from within apps.

You do avoid some of it though by delaying it. The rate is effectively higher. The original investment was the same in both cases. There was no rebalancing.

No, I'm definitely not expecting them to agree with each other. I've witnessed arguments over whether Jews are white or whether Iranians or Armenians are white. I've witnessed arguments over whether you need to be 100% pure European or whether some lower threshold is good enough. I'm just saying that when you ask any given white nationalist for a definition, they usually reject the question outright.
Flipping the woke pyramid doesn't work because the main question is who makes the cut and is allowed to stay or immigrate to your ethno-state.

I use it every day, mostly for work. I don't do much prompt engineering. I don't usually find it necessary and it's very difficult to get it to to do what you want anyway. For example, no matter how much I insist I don't like lists, ChatGPT insists on explaining things with lists. I use it mostly for finding bugs in code and for telling me how to do something simple that I don't know or don't remember how to do. I also sometimes ask it to do things that are a little complicated that I am not sure how to do. This is very hit or miss, but might give me an idea for a better way to do it. Anything too complex, it can't handle.
Less often, I use it as a better Google search. There are certain kinds of things it is way better at getting information on. I also use it to take pictures of things and tell me what they are or to ask questions about it.
People are work use it to write emails for them, but I don't do this because it takes me just as long to write the email myself as it does to explain to ChatGPT what to write, and I'll do a better job anyway.
My favourite model is ChatGPT-4, because it is the only advanced LLM I can use in Canada.

There is nothing in the list above that I think shouldn't be allowed. Banning social scoring, in particular, is especially problematic.

That would amount to a ban on general purpose AI.

More information is always better. They could decide to still use all the embryos but just try the best ones first.

We, the West, shouldn't be standing behind the Israeli military, supplying the bombs and shells they're using, bankrolling their operation, threatening anyone who attacks them.
Why not? If Israel is in the right, it only makes sense to help them.

I guess it's a selected sample, but they seem very popular among the recent Iranian immigrants that I know, and they report widespread support back home.

Weird, I've had near constant issues. It's probably the buggiest app I use on a regular basis.

Has anyone else noticed Twitter being really buggy since Elon Musk took over? It's worse than Facebook Messenger. For example, it has had trouble loading images for the last day. I don't get why people have concluded that you can fire all these people and have everything be fine. The content moderation is better, but Twitter as a piece of software is obviously much worse now.
I'm not saying that means firing those people was a bad idea. Maybe having software work perfectly is not worth the cost, and the stock market's reaction to the mass layoffs at FAANG suggests they weren't pulling their weight. But that brings me to a related question. Why was it so common up until recently for people to say that, despite the very high salaries of software engineers in California, they were actually very underpaid given the amount they made for their employers? This now appears not to be even close to true. Why did people think this? Was it just some dumb profit divided by headcount calculation?

Yes, about 20% of people wore masks outdoors here.

How do you explain Canada then, where the issue wasn't politicized at all and yet lots of people are still wearing masks?
What are you saying, that you're staff and not a senior swe or that you're counting stock appreciation as part of your compensation?
