You're welcome to make a throwaway gmail account if you want "truly free". And don't try to argue that your time still has value, because then that means nothing is truly free.

You bothered to comment but didn't bother to help either. Here, I'll do it, Gukesh is 18, Ding is 32.

People anthropomorphize their vacuum robots, and we have a long way to go in how realistic these bots are getting.

The performance difference seems minor, so this is a great way for the company to get more of its funding from whales versus increasing the base subscription fee.

Makes you wonder how much of that added productivity from women workers was sucked up by the wealthy increasing the disparity.

I wonder how much of chain of thought is just addressing the fact that LLMs are trained on human writing (much of which are conversations online), which creates an implicit bias in the model towards mimicking conversations where people are

Isn't that the point of the metadata? Calculate the hash ahead of time and store it in the metadata as part of the atomic commit for the blob (at least for S3).

That's what I do. Just a cronjob on my TrueNAS server to query my IP and update my subdomain's A record if my IP has changed. That way when a power outage happens and my IP gets rotated, it makes no difference.

The type of preparations being forced are things the government should be doing regardless as part of their national defense.

This is strange to me because this is basically forcing drills that better prepare their enemy.

You're absolutely right. In the situation you describe, the culture is already so screwed up with perverse incentives that you end up not caring if what you're doing is best for the company, just what is best for yourself and your

I wonder if you could do a hybrid approach, where the nuclear device is very small, but able to charge the battery over a longer duration to the point where the solar panels can be repositioned and utilized again.

NASA loves to downplay expectations in case something goes wrong, but people really underappreciate just how overengineered these things are, which makes sense when a bad mission can be political suicide for their future funding.

This is one case where I agree, and I'd even argue that a person who acts as "the savior" in this fashion is not as high a performer as they would seem, since they're introducing a negative productivity multiplier to the

Remember we're talking about the human race (and its ancestors) as a whole adopting the mutations that are successful.

When you say billions of years, you have to remember that change in DNA is glacial compared to computing; we're talking the equivalent of years or even decades for a single training iteration to occur. Deep learning models on the other

If a person or company wants to acquire controlling shares, they absolutely will need to buy up countless millions of shares to make that happen.

The difference is that owning bitcoin doesn't give you partial control over the world's largest companies.

Just to clarify, AWS lets you provision bare-metal too if your goal is to just rent hardware someone else is maintaining. And things like trivially distributing load and storage across multiple datacenters/regions is another big bonus

We went to cloud because 1) we only need 3 infra guys to run our entire platform and 2) we can trivially scale up or down as needed. The first saves us hundreds of thousands in skilled labor and the second lets us take on new customers with

They're actually working on using the ramcharger powertrain in a new wagoneer. I'm so excited for that.

With source generation, I'd say that its biggest limitation is rapidly diminishing. Even ASP.NET Core is embracing it, allowing for better support for json deserialization and eventually MVC.

Usually when I see advances, it's less about future proofing and more about obsoletion of old hardware. A more exaggerated case of this was in the 90s, people would upgrade to a 200 MHz p1 thinking they were future proofing but in a co

I think the issue mentally is if you treat the gravity of a planet like a valley, where you accelerate into it but on the way back out you lose all that gained velocity. The difference here is that the valley moves in the opposite direction

Manual for me is fun on the track but hell in traffic.

What I love about electric is that there is normally no transmission. Automakers realized it was cheaper and simpler to simply ditch the transmission in favor of a stronger motor.

This is my issue. I have lost 40-60lb many times in the past 15 years, but I always gain it back because the root cause is not fixable. I always have a lingering hunger, and I don't want to spend my entire life hungry.

If you drive the weenermobile you'll get a similar reaction, but it doesn't mean people want to buy it. It's an oddity, a curiosity they're excited to see in person.

Wait why is botting okay if it's on a private server? You mean the other players are okay with it?

To me it just feels very repetitive. I don't feel clever building out factories, I just feel more like a drone doing iterative manual labor. As an engineer I just couldn't get into it.
