Checking out the actual article ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-55457-7 ) the authors write that: "In recent years, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been

Its creators can 100% "change the code" though. That is called "training" in the context of LLMs and choosing which data to include in the training set is a vital part of the process. The system prompt is just postproces

There's plenty of Western philosophy as well that sees "not caring" (at least not about things outside your own actions) as very desirable. Not to mention the Epicureans, for whom freedom from worries ("ataraxia") w

When reality doesn't match your expectations, why do you blame reality instead of your expectations? Especially for thing like running out of soap, trash bags or towels that should be at least 90% in your own control.

It's more like society factorio, but unlike factorio it's not fun and you're forced to play against people with much more resources and talent than you.

Anything "spinning among multiple axes" is just spinning around a single compound axis? There's no reason for a spacecraft to limit itself to any earthbound reference frame when it comes to matching frame with an incoming bod

Overbuild everything. For things that might be fragile-ish like surface mounted electronics, cast the whole thing in resin. As a sibling poster has mentioned, we shoot things out of artillery tubes these days that have way harsher accelerat

Well obviously. Computers use electricity, so if the grid goes out so does internet traffic. Local data centers might have backup power but local homes and everything in between the homes and the data center probably won't.

> But are we not moving into a society where thought is unwelcome? Not really, no. If anything clear thinking and insight will give an even bigger advantage in a society with pervasive LLM usage. Good prompts don't write themselves.

How about things like Klein bottles that have no edges? (Although I guess that unlike a Mobius strip it's not possible to make a real one here on Earth so the quote from OP still holds)

How relevant is that since we don't live in such a world? Unless you have a way to get to to such a world, of course, but even then CAs would need to keep existing until you've managed to bring the ideal world about. It would be a

All countries give tariff exemptions to things that suit them. The US doesn't levy tariffs on oil and gas imports, for example.

"Think different" was a marketing slogan used for Apple products from 1997 to 2002, back when Apple was aimed chiefly at video editing professionals. It was never aimed at techies. As long as suits and ties remain the uniform of p

How does such a method retain things like open network connections that have significant kernel state involved as well?

Tbh, people who blindly accept what they've been taught without considering the situation at hand don't make good engineers anyway (software or otherwise). It's not like programmers not wearing suits is some well-kept secret

If there is a de facto dress code and you knowingly go against it, even if you look good in whatever you do wear, it makes you look like you don't understand the prevailing norms. This could lead to worries you might not align with oth

It's not like there's a lack of places to discuss global politics, and everybody knows where to find them if they want to. Not every cooking forum or tech news aggregator needs to discuss the same things as are currently hot on tw

I think that what you are missing is that "what must I do to make L10" and "what is valuable to the company" are typically somewhat orthogonal. A prototypical example is that almost every career ladder out there mentions

Get some financial discipline and arrange an emergency fund covering at least 6 months of expenses. It's amazing how much less leverage your employer is able to exert if you can make good on a threat of leaving.

Technically that's not really a different problem than exists. With the current system, Kaisa has to poll her desk every day to see if new milk needs to be ordered. Depending on what her activities entail, maybe there are entire days w

That's very nice, but not in itself a good argument for language use. If you count using a system written in a language, then almost every programmer uses Ruby daily as both Github and Gitlab are written in Ruby. Similarly you probably
