The fundamental driver of the economy is people eating and clothing themselves, not writing memos that are never read.

Well I mean weight vs volume, actual oven temp, full fat vs skim, salted or unsalted. There's a lot of little variables even "following" a recipe.

I can't find the article about it just this second but that's actually really common. Greenbean casserole was invented by a Campbell's copywriter.

if mix can work without sudo|root it will absolutely work in an "immutable distro" on the other hand: this particular immutable distro may not have all the c libraries BEAM/Elixir expect in that base and while SilverBlue do

Palantir is not double edged, technology is pretty much by definition an application and Palantir is applying in exactly one direction. "oh it's just database joins" is about like me ripping your arms off and describing it as

Immutable here just means there is a base OS+libs that you don't touch. So now elixir or an ide would install in a sandbox with any needed libraries not included in that base instead of install all the libraries and stuff globally

Yeah not to be a downer here but if he's still on chemo in 6 years I don't think it's the lack of a baby sitter that's gonna kill him.

This isn't just for babies. My coworker's 12yo is covered by this because he's got cancer and is too immunocompromised to go to school.

The entire OS was built around these source files. the unix philosophy on the other hand only "thrives" if every other tool is designed around (and contains code to parse) "plain text"

if you're referring to https://youtu.be/GcqQ1ebBqkc?t=1027 he doesn't actually say that each model has been profitable. He says "You paid $100 million and then it made $200 million of revenue. There's so

Good job being incapable of synthesizing both of your perversions into a single post. I am "arguing" (not arguing, simply stating basic facts) that neither Russia nor the USA were giving "IQ tests" to soldiers. Also neit

No, the Flynn Effect is an observation that raw scores on "IQ tests" have increased over (a far too short period to be attributable to evolution) time and/but IQ is defined as having a median value of 100 . It is not an a

Well a large chunk of HN thinks the existing generation of AI is capable of doing 80% of their job, this has not translated at all to robotic stevedores and even less to robotic plumbers so yeah all current evidence supports "Robotics

Well the flynn effect is global so either the russians won ww2 with people an SD below today's mean IQ or the US military thinks that the russian army (that won ww2) circa '40 wasn't even fit for cannon fodder.

Oh for fuck's sake. So: the people that developed intelligence tests were not psychologists; lies, damned lies and statistics; "pioneering" the idea of using math doesn't mean that people using math today are doing the s

>Your definition of an IQ test seems to be so vague as to be meaningless. This is actually like one of the primary tricks of the IQ perverts. They'll take literally any test, run the results through a transformation function to get

I mean, a quick look at the flynn effect would indicate that's complete fucking nonsense. we won ww2 with an army a solid SD below today's 100.

Okay but noticeably he invents two numbers then pretends that a third number is irrelevant in order to claim that each model (which is not a company) is a profitable company. You'd think maybe the CEO might be able to give a ball park
