How does cutting jobs increase safety?

Yeah they target work phones because people have to answer more frequently. A message or call that is sent to a work phone that goes opened/unanswered then it looks like someone is slacking.

Most personal phones people just let go to message or just delete (without opening to evade image based tracking) unknown numbers, with business or work most numbers are new or unknown.

Sucks how they target them. Any phone number or text recipient they send to that answers/views will get more and more and more spam.

Here is the non-paywalled version

How do they know?

Just because some chips get through doesnt mean the ban is doing nothing. I dont think China will be able to easily outfit many huge data centers with tens of thousands of latest Nvidia chips to enable AI surveillance of its population, for instance.

The pivot is real

Again, you keep bringing up the same point - “art work being used without permission” - and I keep arguing that this is no different to a person looking at a piece of art as inspiration.

It’s perhaps more of a philosophical issue, and it also relates to my personal belief that DL models are closer to analogous to the brain than a lot of people imagine - but this is purely conjecture.

Where’s the proof of documentation? Since the comment you just left is your opinion is it bought and paid for?

But you’ll be in Europe, … like all the time!! … It’s like vacay work!!

And yet you’ve provided no proof of documentation to back up your claim.

So basically, you don’t give a shit about the government dictating your life?

All tech and no product

The data is already in the US. US servers moved over to Oracle last year.

Lol at 1/4 the salary before taxes

Yeah I think all of this is bad and a bad system and wasting our time and not serving us. Machines talking to machines about nothing relevant to us in languages we aren’t even going to be learning. People learning to make a good resume is a good thing because of what you learn while accomplishing it. How does any of this help the cause of society?

And how do unions prevent layoffs?

> India or Estonia they would have already done it to save money.

Well there’s a reason why firms are engaging in more aggressive offshoring.

There’s also a point where if you need a remote job done and an American wants 2x the salary of a European to do the job….and way more than that of an Indian well it makes sense just to hire multiple people overseas even if you lose some of the benefits of having them onshore.

What? That's probably one of the stupidest things I have read today.

By that logic, recruiters are cheating too, they toss your resume into a machine that automatically vets you. They likely won't even see your resume at all.

Well it’s either that or cut government spending by massive amounts.

Inb4 raise taxes…look at tax revenues as a percentage of gdp over the last 80 years

ASML was a Philips spin-off... but not their "core business".

Some level of unemployment is the only way capitalism works.

Philips, a company destroyed for the short term pursuit of "shareholder value" and bonuses for leadership.
