That's not true. Preventing jams can actually require more complicated designs. To avoid jams the device should limit the range of motion a device is capable of and deal with dirt and debris. That can require additional parts to stabil

That assumes you are willing to pay for lawyers. If not, the relevant weight is "will the author (or any subsequent copyright owners) sue you".

If we do, it won't be a new phenomenon. They've been around practically forever.

I think the big factor there is that you'd have to wait over a decade for the transplant to be the correct size. I'm also not sure that we have the technology to keep a brainless body alive for such a long period - the brain is in

You end up with a thermal runaway situation where the hotter the photovoltaics get, the more energy they convert to heat (instead of reflecting or converting to electricity).

Don't worry, they're not following the "deprecate and cancel" playbook for that. They seem to be using the "copy a competitor poorly" one. The few features I liked about it, that distinguished it from Slack, d

Supposedly something like this already happened inside Google. There's a distributed data store for small configs read frequently. There's another for larger configs that are rarely read. The small data store depends on a service

I heard that it was a "mandatory dependency" to mitigate "insider risk" or something. There's no way it's going anywhere. Odds are they'll just enforce even slower rollouts "to catch things early&quot

They can say that, but any one of their customers knows it's not true.

That would be one approach, though I think it is unlikely to be a successful one. The topic is autonomous drones. Presumably these drones don't stop to go through customs on the way to their targets, and have no reason to respect borde

You must live on some fascist oligarchy. In a well functioning society improvements in economic efficiency and productivity improve the standard of living if everyone in that society. Thus if you innovate yourself out of a job you'd st

Isn't it the other way around? The productivity gains would increase overall wealth so you would get more for your money, meaning money would actually be worth more. Or do you mean it in the sense that everyone would already have every

It works in landscape mode on mobile, but is broken in portrait mode.

That's bullshit. Inflation-adjusted compensation has been on a decline (nevermind the decision to reschedule the bonus/promotion cycle from January to April). At least half of the micro-kitchens and cafes have been shutdown. On-si

Not to mention the current push to "grow" in low cost locations. Google is laying off people in the US but rapidly hiring in India and Poland.

You can't just train with the negative examples showing filtered content, as that could lead to poor generalization. You'd need to supplement with samples from the training set to prevent catastrophic forgetting. Otherwise it&#x27

More than 30 years, it's closer to 50. I actually wonder how much of the stagflation in the 1970s was caused by tax cuts for the rich. It would make sense, if you think about it. If rich people spent more on luxuries, then the free mar

I'm not sure about that. The way AlphaFold works involves transforming the protein from a vector space representing the sequence to a different vector space representing the folded structure and back again as it performs iterative refi

[Insert "let me laugh even harder" meme here] That would be actual malpractice in either case. LLMs have a history of fabricating laws and precedents when acting as a lawyer. Any advice from the LLM would likely be worse than just

Unions are a bad solution to the problem of companies not vaulting their employees. Unfortunately, without altruism by the corporations or governments action, they are also the only effective solution. I'd prefer we look to other count

Just like the US has had small and targeted tariffs on the EU for a long time (such as pickup trucks).

I'm guessing the reason birds' brains are so much smaller for a given level of intelligence is that there is so much more evolutionary pressure to make things lighter when you need to be able to fly. Mammals are likely more optimi

Yes, but it's even worse than you think. As these countries move away from the dollar, there becomes a glut of US dollars in the world, triggering inflation like we have never seen before. Ignoring the barriers to trade that the tariff

Could you point to an example of a project doing it the right way? I'm a little unclear on the type of incantation needed for the "version script".

Look, they had a whiskey drinkers ERG when I was there. For people that like to meet to drink whiskey. I'm not sure what OP actually proposed, but I'm reasonably sure he's not telling the whole story.

That's very different from Google when I was there (both before and after the Damore memo). 1. There were ERGs for old people, young people, people who brought dogs to work, Irish people, Jewish people, etc. I can't imagine why th

If they can fit 10x the payload for 1/100 the price, then maybe it's okay if some of them fail? Quantity has a quality of it's own.

Oh, it's definitely simplistic. The problem is that real wages for the average person has been going down since the 1970s. Meanwhile, the wealthiest people are making more and more, but that extra money is not going to Social Security
