You don't need to tie your job to your sense of self worth and happiness.

Raw feeding is so much more expensive and has no scientific advantages for dogs. This sounds par for the course for a terribly managed shelter.

I started using Mint which summarizes all your transactions across all accounts which is nice. No more surprises on what is going on.

Amazon's biggest advantage is that they can sell fakes and patent violating products to undercut other retailers.

The defense in this case would be everyone else's infinitely smart oracles.

In many parts of the city hotels have already outpaced other non-residential development. These regulations, on top of supporting union workers, just ensure that hotels don't take over too much of certain parts of the city. The biggest

Sounds like this will promote growth of new hotel construction/expansion. Great!

I think the better question is, what the hell is a vector in the context of normal business logic? Sure, a word embedding vector makes sense because it's all an abstraction anyways, but if I have an "Employee" table with name

My biggest fear is what has happened with Gen Z. The UX becomes so user friendly that you end up never needing to learn how it actually works. Great for happy paths, but terrible if you need to dig into edge cases and work under the hood. W

I'm having this issue currently with Elasticsearch and Opensearch. I use libraries for both (since we're in the middle of migration) and not only does it conflate the two, but it even confuses versions of Elasticsearch that have b

Can we stop acting like it isn't trivial to get around these laws if you're not stupid about it? The US has at-will employment, which means that you just come up with another excuse to fire someone without being stupid enough to e

These language models are just feeding you information from search engines like Google. The reason companies censor these models isn't to protect anyone, it's to avoid liability/bad press.

$80k/yr in Michigan is solidly in the middle class. Not unreasonable for a fulltime auto worker.

So by your definition of creativity, the LLM is always being creative because it's always using probability to determine the next word (it's not just spitting out facts from a database). Hallucination is just when that prediction,

They mean that you seem very eager to praise jobs.

That's like saying that a simple linear regression predicting the wrong (x,y) value is just "being creative". The LLM is lacking in sufficient complexity to make the correct word prediction. It's not being creative, it i

I wouldn't even call it clever. The Actor model trivializes avoiding locks, since you're letting everything act on stale information (if the actors process concurrently) and then just iterating through their intended actions again

Imagine having the most famous open source project using your product for the world to see and losing all that free publicity in a desperate attempt for control.

No, they are using these agreements because they simply don't have enough capacity regardless and are desperate to find ways to cut power usage. You don't live here do you? Otherwise you'd see the constant emergency alerts fr

Natural gas and coal make up over half of Texas power generation. We're better off ramping them down during low demand rather than keeping them running at max capacity for bitcoin mining of all things. What an environmental nightmare.

4K cameras are tiny, and you could only turn them on for a brief moment to take a picture.

The problem is that unless you're willing to do surgery on a regular basis as you come across blocked sites, PiHole is going to cause more problems than it solves when you have your entire family using it. Even google stops working cor

"all" and "none" are simultaneously true, which makes this a tricky edge case that needs to be explicitly accounted for.

We're kidding ourselves if we think Apple was putting an earnest effort into this.

My biggest issue with "feature rich" is that unless you have strict control over your developers' usage (which won't happen in most large companies), you'll inevitably have all sorts of bloat used by various teams i

My understanding is that these were never just called "x64" though, or at least not commonly.

Parameters have many connections too though. If the next layer is 1000 parameters wide, you have potentially 1000 connections from a single parameter.

x86 is short for 8086 family instruction set architecture, and x64 is short for x86-64. Makes sense to me and follows the same pattern.
