Because you’d need microscopic physical evidence of something that happened nearly 4 billion years ago. And you’d need a fuck ton of it to definitively say that it was one super cell and not several separate instances of it.

And on a geological time scale, that evidence has almost certainly been erased.

We might be able to figure out the conditions that caused life to form, but to know whether it was a singular event or not requires an extremely high burden of proof.

Even with a time machine it would be extremely difficult to get that level of evidence. Even if we could recreate the conditions that led to life forming and create a cell out of a soup of amino acids, that still wouldn’t answer the question.

No, I said what I meant. There’s no possible way to know with any certainty if life on earth came from a solitary cell, or if multiple single cells formed over the globe without actually traveling through time to find out.

Yes, it counts. Hardware backdoors are absolutely a thing.

We’re talking about several orders of magnitude more time than the evolution of man. Short of a time machine, the answer to this question is impossible to know.

Some departments are getting water tanks to drop the vehicle in too.

What are you basing that statement on?

It’s not racism to acknowledge that accents can have a major negative impact on effective communication and design a product to address the issue.

I’ve found that 3 beers over an hour period is my sweet spot for debugging. But I would definitely need liquor to debug wine.

For coding it’s also useful for doing the menial grunt work that’s easy but just takes time.

You’re not going to replace a senior dev with it, of course, but it’s a great tool.

My previous employer was using AI for intelligent document processing, and the results were absolutely amazing. They did sink a few million dollars into getting the LLM fine tuned properly, though.

AI is a great tool, but that’s all it is. It’s absolutely not a complete solution.

Being a scientist doesn’t mean you have the technical knowledge to run a public facing server.

It’s a take that apparently requires a lack of reading comprehension on your part.

Right, but that’s just your experience as an agent. I was the one managing all of the campaigns for a global call center in the dialing platform, building the IVRs, etc, so I got to become familiar with many dozens of campaigns. Even ones that were supposed to just be customer service usually had something they were supposed to push.

Like was said, only customer service doesn’t generate revenue, so companies often try to recoup that cost.

Having spent the first 8 years of my career in a call center, it’s fairly common.

Nah, call centers do generate income because they force their support agents to try to up sell you on other products and services.
