I would guess that the people getting those bonuses will almost certainly have a passion for their work, and will want to continue working in the same area.

Like I said before, it's for free publicity. They needed cheap phones to give away because it gives publicity. You can't sign anyone up for a contract in this scenario, so they need to buy prepaid phones. The anonymity is a side effect.
You do not believe tech CEOs already had the ability to buy themselves burner phones, in case they wanted to call the governor anonymously?
But they do not need to be given a phone for this. Anyone can just buy themselves a burner phone if anonymity is the goal.
Handing out free phones does not in any practical way actually make it easier for a tech CEO to conduct anonymous business with the governor. They had this ability already.
Pretty obviously it's for free publicity.
In what scenario would tech CEOs need to be given a phone, in order to talk to the governor anonymously?
Isn't "burner phone" just slang for a cheap phone with a pre-paid SIM card? I have seen it used like that on travel related subreddits.
The anonymity is then not necessarily an important feature, but a side effect of it being cheap so it's not worth the hassle of registering it.
For some people the anonymity is of course an important feature, but not for everyone.
How would we distinguish actual guardrails, from talk about guardrails being present in the training data?
Or for that matter, if there are guardrails, does it prevent some deep inner thought, or does it only prevent random hallucinations where it says it is conscious?
The real estate value argument never made sense to me.
It seems it would only work if everyone plays along. Every single individual profits by saving money if they don't keep their employees in the office. They only profit from return-to-office if everyone does it.
And I don't see how thousands of narcissistic, egomaniacs that would sell their own grandmother if it raised the stock price by 1%, could possibly coordinate a conspiracy without a lot of them trying cheat.
Well, perhaps the first estimate is a lie. Then again, perhaps the second one is as well. Anyhow, there are groups either way with vested interests.
There is no reason to believe either was a lie. Methods and data collection improve, so results changing over time is not unexpected.
Let's just say that only men cheat, which is the politically proper thing to say.
Where do you live where this would be the proper thing to say?
The number of cheaters is obviously much higher than those numbers though. That's only the ones that get caught with "genetic evidence".
It's pretty common knowledge that the current criteria amongst women for minimum acceptability of a male is "six-six-six"
Don't forget that a lot of "common knowledge" is also wrong. The controversial opinions are what brings in the clicks, and spreads like wildfire.
Some women will have 6-6-6 as a minimum. Some have it as a dream goal. Others don't care.
Since it is very easy to find men that has neither of those three criteria, we can easily conclude it's not "the current criteria amongst women".
At worst it's the current criteria among some women.
A surprising number of men are raising other men's children conceived during their marriage.
I'm not sure what you consider "surprising", but the number is 1-2%.
In Sweden it's 1.7%, and other Western European studies have shown similar levels.
It was earlier believed the number was higher, but this seems to be the latest research.
"We can automate the work your worst programmers are doing"
What is unsustainable is the assumption that everyone should live like a king.
Wouldn't a small number of people that live well be better than a large number of people living in poverty?
Intel is not losing marketshare to overseas competitors. It is losing marketshare to NVIDIA and Qualcomm. Both are American companies.
Isn't that mostly only true for the chip design part?
The lower half, the actual chip manufacturing, isn't that losing to TSMC?
Yeah, right. And now he's even pissed off Warren Buffet.
That article says no such thing. Warren Buffet just changed his mind about donating money after he dies. Instead of committing all the money before he dies, his children will be in charge of the donations.
