Is it? I was just skimming the article and looking at the implementation details and it really just looks like giving a spatial dimension (a 2D grid in this case) to various graph search/traversal algorithms. In the case of this articl

I think the key here that people often desire and even fantasize about that which they don't have. A little bit of the grass is greener syndrome here as well. The lesson I think to learn is to be true to yourself and try and be objecti

I always find the anti-union stance interesting. Unions are, by and large, typically in your self-interest if you're an individual and sell your time for compensation in anyway. It doesn't matter if you're a Hollywood screen

>The new idea (mostly in the West) that being obese is/can be a healthy lifestyle is absolutely maddening. We took the extreme of anorexia being healthy to obesity being healthy. The fact is neither extreme is healthy. Being not ano

Perhaps they have a family back home literally starving and it's a sacrifice at the time they think they're willing to take to feed their family and send money home. They're desperate and willing to let a lot of things happen

Various aspects of slavery and human trafficking, for all intents and purposes, never entirely disappeared when you think about it. Society abstracted some of these things away in free markets through labor and monetary exchanges for labor.

What's ironic here is that groups like USAF are constantly pressured to adopt private industry models to be more "economically efficient" and completely ignoring that resiliency is a requirement baked into the high cost. I un

While this is humorous in that there are limiting assumptions like this baked into the system, I also have to wonder, who needs or even wants to book a flight a year in advance? I dread planning out a flight 4 months in advance and dealing

>Repairing costs time and effort, throwing away and buying new is fast and often cheap That analysis can depend on how well total costs are captured. Often what seems cheap is only cheap because you externalize the actual costs elsewhere

I read the same two things in the article and scratched my head. I mean, I assume the entire $250 million mentioned didn't have to come from the home, the way its written it could be a modest home. None the less, it makes me very curio

Communities often formed "leagues" you could compete in. You could join teams for team games and teams were ranked, had matches, competed. For more single oriented things you were your own matchmaker: choose the servers with more

Is that more for training or inference use? I realize this isn't always entirely decoupled in certain online learning approaches. I don't work in ML, am certainly not an expert, and am genuinely curious where this space is at now

Businesses use title inflation selectively. If I want to toss a carrot that costs virtually nothing to someone, I can give a title promotion of sorts. To some labor, that's attractive because they see it as a way to grow their career:

I always find it interesting how in our implementation of capitalism here in the US, wealth is able to insulate and protect itself from many of the very measures capitalism is supposed to peel away and counter (in the interest of society at

Derisking and geographically diversifying these assets (crucial unique capabilities, technologies, skills, processes, etc.) are IMO the most obvious wins here. If there's a PRC-TW invasion, at least some assets will exist outside Taiwa

I'd say, from my armchair theory, there are a lot of factors that lead to burnout and most all of them I think stem from some underlying pressure to work more. It may he some culturally seeded external pressure of your peers or workpla

If you think it's good to cut consumption, it seems like we have a lot of other places to reduce energy consumption outside of more basic necessity energy usage, like heating people's homes. This perspective just externalizes side

It has everything to do with crypto. The entire selling point of crypto is decentralization of the medium of exchange. The fact I can exchange a medium, in theory, anonymously and without limitation is what makes crypto appealing. If not,

My anecdata from the US agrees. The best part is when funding agencies require proposal reviewers to actually send their critiques back on research proposals. I've read through many reviewers replies to proposals designed for specifica

The general concept of having a medium and marketplace of exchange that isn't regulated/controlled has some value. It may have more costs than benefits in the grand scheme of things, though. I tend to support regulation in general

The problem is we have a culture that often overly accepts protectionist and defensive systems and is highly averse to any risk what-so-ever. When these sorts of systems are put in place, they become far more difficult to remove than erect,
