I thought that prices changed for everyone, but they changed over time. Book a flight 6 months before? You get a good price. Book a flight day-of? Hope you've got money in the bank! (I'm not the OP but I'm guessing this i

I saw a YouTube video where they said this was more-or-less the original backstory but then they changed it. I think it said that the People In Charge thought the 'living power source' would be easier for the audience to understa

The issue is the condition on the apology: > If this “experiment” personally harmed you, I apologize Essentially: the person isn't actually apologizing. They're sending you a lambda (or an async Promise, etc) that will apologi

I don't know what your life/lives are like, and far be it for me to tell you how to live, but if your schedule allows it try shopping later at night. I show up at CostCo, on weekdays, like 30 minutes before closing time and it&#x2

I forget where I saw this (a Medium post, somewhere) but someone summed this up as "I didn't sign up for this just to be a tech priest for the machine god".

To be fair, making a change (particularly changing a habit) takes time. Having something there to remind and nudge you helps make this easier, especially when you're tired, stressed, 'just looking for a short break', etc, et

Huh - I did not know that, and that makes a lot of sense. I guess "Start software Vnext off the current version (or something pretty close)" is such a baseline assumption of mine that it didn't occur to me that they'd be

Ah. Thanks for posting - this makes a lot of sense. I can totally see how they're able to pre-train models no problem, but are having trouble with the "noticeably better" part. Thanks!

(My apologies if this was already asked - this thread is huge and Find-In-Page-ing for variations of "pre-train", "pretrain", and "train" turned up nothing about this. If this was already asked I'd super-

Recently I was talking with someone who speculated that "hot doctors never get accurate heart rate measurements" It took me a minute to understand (and neither of us think this is 100% true) but it's both funny and a good poi

Genuine question: What does "PEI" mean? A quick Google search is turning up "Prince Edward Island". Is Prince Edward Island known for being a place with a lot of remote tech workers? (Like, this doesn't _sound_ ri

I'm curious what the live video stream captures. Is it you, your desk, and several feet around you (i.e., enough to confirm that there's nothing else near you)? It seems like they need enough to do ongoing, real-time confirmatio

For what it's worth I've tried that (here in WA state, in the US) and most colleges (including mine) don't have a test proctoring center. Occasionally you'll find one but the center will frequently will only proctor tes

Same here. Online instruction / learning can work for some people, and that's good. I don't understand how anyone ever thought that an online exam could be made secure. There's just no way to ensure that the person who

Agree about the slow text reveal. Having a mode to automatically, instantly, "just show me already" would be good. If you want it to look fancy maybe have all the text fade-in over the course of the animation? Once the parts are
