The job of CEO seems the far easier to replace with AI. A fairly basic algorithm with weighted goals and parameters (chosen by the board) + LLM + character avatar would probably perform better than most CEOs. Leave out the LLM if you want it to spout nonsense like this Amazon Cloud CEO.

There might be some way to do something with this.

Larry Finger, your work has made a significant positive impact on my life and I’m sure many others. Thank you.

Now can you work on a driver to allow communication between the living and the dead?

USA! USA! USA!!11!!

That’s like half of the training I got to get my A+ certificate to work on personal computers.

I was shocked about this, I’d assumed it was well trained trauma doctors in the ambulance with you at your most critical moment.

I think the key would be to not use any additional resources to grow, harvest, etc.

This could be done for example by landscaping companies that put their waste through a retort (which could be anything from a stove made of mud bricks, to a mobile trailer that does on-site pyrolysis and use the resulting biochar to fertilize their customer’s plants. Farms could put their waste through it, innoculate the biochar with animal waste, and use it as fertilizer.

I make biochar from my backyard waste in my firepit using a can like this guy.

Any other method of carbon capture I’ve ever heard about makes no sense. Having hundreds of engineers and workers drive to work for years to engineer and build giant metal and plastic factory/machines with parking lots that require staff that has to drive and park there, etc is nonsense. And even if they work, what would they do with the carbon? Biochar provides a cycle that is accessible to everyone, can be done on-site, uses no fancy technology, nothing is patented, and doesn’t require all this nonsense.

Biochar (created in a retort) is how you sustainably sequester carbon for the long-term using trees (and similar biomass).

Nope, been thinking about what it would take to make one though.

So only the lucky unfit sperm destined to produce one who wears a red cap will be able to successfully fertilize the egg?

It’s time to return to human curated directories.

Listened to some yesterday and today, I dig it, thanks!

I hear you on Busdriver, I tend to not listen to the words and just hear it as a sort of instrument so it doesn’t matter what he’s saying. But for those that do, I could see it being too much, same with Kool Keith.

I’ll check out Brother Ali, I’ve heard of him but not his music.

Look into underground hip hop, there’s all sorts of awesome music of much higher caliber than mainstream rap/hip hop.

Mf Doom, Busdriver, Kool Keith (and his many many aliases), Aesop Rock (not ASAP Rocky or whatever), and I’m sure lots of newer stuff I’m not even familiar with. Digable Planets are pretty big and they’re good (and old, like me)

.

I tend to hear the vocals as an instrument and often have no idea what the words are. It’s happened before where once I learn the words I don’t like the song as much anymore either because the meaning of the words is distracting or the meaning is way different than the meaning I’d put on the song.

Seriously: I don’t think the cost benefit is there to intentionally make a maneuver like this.

You might be right

They can’t let short-term greed get in the way of long-term greed!

lol

Ah gotcha, I wasn’t quite understanding that.

I still personally believe that the basic effect described by Dunning-Kruger does in fact exist on some level. If it’s not due to cognition, that seems to imply that essentially everyone at every intelligence level accurately estimates their own intelligence, that would be weird.

Dunning-Kruger became popular because it gave a name to an apparent phenomena.

So are you saying that they suffered from a filesystem bug that caused deletion failure? I’d imagine they use standard filesystems on their backend, I haven’t heard about any bugs like this.

If you ask me, what’s more likely, that a company known for shitty behavior lies about deleting files so they can continue to use that information to profit, – OR – that they are experiencing a filesystem bug on their backend, I’ll choose the former.

But clearly the data is not overwritten and this was intentional. How do I know? Because that would amount to a massive amount of data, if it was de to a bug in Apple software or underlying filesystems, it would be detected in monitoring systems “Hey, we’re using 10x the data we should be, maybe we should look into it”.

The mistake was in the flag code that was supposed to fool us.

Nothing sinister, we just don’t delete what we say we delete. Instead we keep it in your profile to feed the algorithms and set the “deleted” flag to make you think it’s gone.
