Readit NewsLanguages are a collection of tradeoffs so I'm pretty sure you could find examples for every two languages in existence. It also makes these kinds of comparisons ~useless.
I’m personally of the mind that if my tax dollars went towards protecting your shit, you owe society access.
This is not defending the ones who believe they have the right to things sans that deal
By your logic you owe me access your house since my tax dollars pay for the legal system that gives you property rights?!
If Burry could actually see a bubble/crash, he wouldn't be wrong about them 95%+ of the time... (He actually missed the covid crash as well, which is pretty shocking considering his reputation and claims!)
Ultimately, hindsight is 20/20 and understanding whether or not "the markers" will lead to a major economic event or not is impossible, just like timing the market and picking stocks. At scale, it's impossible.
What was the cost of the 16 missed predictions? Presumably he is up over all!
Also doesn't even tell us his false positive rate. If, just for example, there were 1 million opportunities for him to call a bubble, and he called 18 and then there were only 2, this makes him look much better at predicting bubbles.
Companies bring in McKinsey and pay the big bucks so that when something goes wrong or in unpopular they can point the finger and McKinsey. McKinsey consultants are paid to say the things that corporate leadership doesn't want to say.
The entire role of a consultant is the create theater to present the illusion that they are doing serious "business". Look how professional they are? If they get it wrong, then maybe nobody can get it right. Worst case we can shake our finger at them and frown, can you believe how they handled those layoffs? ... then call them back next month when it needs to be done again.
Everything goes right? Well, what great leadership this corporation has. Either way McKinsey gains a good reputation around other corporate leaders in need of these services.
AI is not replacing that particular service anytime soon.
Rising to the top of a company is rarely the meritocracy we'd like to think, (or, at least, the merit required to rise is different than the merit required to lead a company successfully). Often people rise to the top who don't want to make decisions, don't have a vision and very much are used to leading by consensus.
So there is not a masterful plan to avoid blame for the difficult thing they know they need to do, they just don't know what to do - they are incapable of making decisions.
I know these companies do "shadow" updates continuously anyway so maybe it is meaningless but would be super interesting to know, nonetheless!
Oh, they ignored him. I am not sure if that puts the company in a better light.
With your sunscreen example, I should be able to just ask Siri to do exactly this, and it could tap me in my pocket, show me a custom UI to log periodically and then disappear.
Not sure on limitations of APIs on iOS but definitely feels like there is space for a better voice assistant, just like how Raycast have created a better Spotlight on Mac.
Looks very cool so far!
