  1. NOW we are getting to some interesting cocktail party conversation (and I still gag everytime this thread is bumped and I see the title "Lost Generation" and it not being a Hemingway or Post-WWII expat literary community reference).
  2. I would say they chose poorly.
  3. I've literally never used carplay. Sorry I'm an ancient human being. You'll be sad when we are gone.
  4. I think he means the human error was in accidently including it in his post at all (it must have been a fat finger situation or it was somehow copy/pasted from the phone when he posted)? Or maybe he was posting on surly and driving which would be insane to me lol
  5. Humans. AI. Nothing is 100% perfect, I guess. lol
  6. The only way I've ever heard that term previously is when people would talk about "heritage indian firms" in the context of tech consulting (e.g. Infosys or Tech Mahendra, etc.)
  7. I know you aren't asking me, but I would hazard a guess: - He works at a good law firm. - There are a TON of crappy law schools. Tier 3 and 4 level rankings nationally. - The majority of the racial/ethical minorities that make up your stat come from the law schools that accept anyone with a BA from any schools and arent generally competitive. A lot of the aforementioned are first generation college students who probably didn't go to prestige undergrad. - The recruiting of a top law firm still targets top targets (undergrads) which still over-represent white (but probably now skew more women).
  8. I get the old AI hallucinated meme but I don't understand the GPS and 4 mins to drive 1.4 miles on a route. It looks pretty basic to me.
  9. Here is something fascinating from a TIL tidbit from AI lore. The whole reason there is an AI wars at all (OpenAI, Google, Meta, Grok) and not just Google AI and a bunch of midgets, is because of Elon Musk and his infamous pettiness. Because the company he invested in (DeepMind) spurned him (and Zuck) and took less money to be bought by Google, Sam Altman and Elon spun up a company (OpenAI) to get back at the betrayal he felt by Larry Page who he thought was his homeboy up until then (and whom he accidentally made aware of when showing a Breakout video on a private plan). Elon's cache was able to poach a handful of great AI researchers from Google who up until that point had every AI expert in the world (and if you follow their coaching tree makes up every AI company we talk about today) and it's suggested that without Elon's involvement and recruiting (remember Elon in 2014/2015 was still a golden child and hadn't turned heel) Google would have ran away with it. Fascinating.
  10. Wow. With as basic and common of a use case that is and with literally hundreds of companies doing this succesfully, I'm not sure I'd want to publicly admit this or go on record to let the world know I'm incompetent.
  11. Anglicizing is a thing that goes as far back in America to the Ellis Island Jews, Irish and Italian mass immigration era, nothing new there. Some might argue it's cultural assimiliation and adaptation and resilience, others might argue it's racism and assualt for not letting people bring their whole self to work. I've always subscribed to the quaint philosophy of "Mind My Own Darn Business", personally.
  12. Why would they kill the golden goose? The one thing that people love and applaud and is guaranteed engagement farming to be shared? Dumb move IMO
  13. That's a great analogy.
  14. Was there not a Christmas joke swap this year?
