> "I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges," Sharma said in a passage of the message, according to CNBC. "Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day." He said the division will return to growth next year.

Hot take: I think the em-dash is just lazy punctuation that can be replaced by the more nuanced pauses, i.e. the comma, semicolon, and colon. I think its popularity stems from people being confused on how to use a semicolon.
My Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller didn't work with my Mac, so I had Claude write me a driver. Amazing times we live in. (As long as I still have a job so I can buy controllers in ten years.)
I'm tired of this pseudointellectual reductionist response. It's not "literally by accident" when they're trained to do something, as if we are not also machines that generate next actions based on learned neural weights and abstract (embedded) representations. Your issue is with semantics rather than content.
Obviously "hallucinate" and "lie" are metaphors. Get over it. These are still emergent structures that we have a lot to learn from by studying. But I suppose any attempt by researchers to do so should be disregarded because Person On The Internet has watched the 3blue1brown series on Neural Nets and knows better. We know the basic laws of physics, but spend lifetimes studying their emergent behaviors. This is really no different.
This misses the point of isospin. Isospin is an approximate SU(2) symmetry due to the fact that the up and down quarks (the "light" quarks) have very similar masses compared to the rest of the quarks, so they can be approximated as two different eigenstates of the same particle. It's mathematically identical to the SU(2) symmetry of a spin-half particle. The reason it doesn't include the other quarks is because they are so much more massive.
For better or worse, news flows through social media, so this approach basically amounts to ignoring all the bad stuff going on. If you read HN, chances are you can probably safely get through the next four years doing this. But as the saying goes, "first they came for the communists..."
My problem is I learn some tool like this, set it, and then indeed forget it. Then I avoid testing my backups because of the work it takes to un-forget it. Because of this, I'm leaning more and more towards rsync or tools that have GUI frontends.
> the programmer he calls what he does "engineering" which he deems equivalent to what rocket engineers do when they "engineer" a rocket that flies into space, but instead of a rocket it's some website.
Bingo. The (very American) dilution of the title "engineer" has been sad to see.
