Large companies are incredibly unproductive and inefficient. That said the unevenness of contribution isn't strictly a large company phenomena. Small companies have the same uneven distribution. I've worked at two startups with ab

36 hours per week. 25 days vacation (going to 28). Pension contributions. You can buy extra leave. Epic location, fun job, decent salary for the UK (where e.g. you don't pay for healthcare)...

Yet another option is to wear some sort of body armor during sparring. There are suits you can wear that protect you from pretty much any human form of attack. We use them for some self defense training.

Karate traditionally has 3 components, Kihon, Kata, and Kumite ... I would try going to some more traditional Karate Dojo and asking if you can practice with them without sparring. Most of the class isn't sparring anyways and if the ot

In BC, Canada, the recommendation is to take cover under a desk e.g. My personal take is that if I have a chance to make it quickly out of a building I prefer to be out of it rather than having it collapse on me. It's one of those thin

Wrong. That is not the question. It came to light later that Iran hid sites, activities and materials. The 2017 certification is not relevant. They were still violating it either in letter or in spirit, they had no intent of stopping the pu

My point was "look at what computers(software) can do today vs. 3 years ago" - for everyone. You are saying that software that the arborist can have ChatGPT write to help it draw the garden isn't the same quality as a team of

What is that protest going to get us? We'll convince or force business leaders to not use a cheaper/better tool and protect our jobs? And nobody else in the world is going to pivot either? And our companies will remain competitive

Lines of code has always been a terrible metric. But all else being equal it is a measure. If all else is not equal, which is usually the case, then it's not. A lot of the focus has been on AI recently. Three years ago we didn't h

Since my other reply was flagged, and I'm past the edit window, and I learnt a little more about the nuance: - Technically Iran was considered to be meeting the requirements of the JCPOA during the 2016-2018 period in reports issued a

So you're arguing the crusaders brought peace to the middle east? This history is so vast I can't even begin to think about how to compare. But one thing that feels odd to me is how people think of the middle east as somehow separ

So interrogating Gemini further to clarify the ground truth about the 2016-2019 period gets me to: The Final Verdict So, was Iran in compliance? Under the strict text of the JCPOA (2016–2019): Yes. They met the mathematical limits on active

You must be joking re: peaceful before US and Europe. The first crusade was in 1099 for those who don't know the details. We had the Byzantine-Arab wars, Fatimid civil wars, Turkish invasions... Ofcourse we had the whole spread of Isla

You might be right on the regime change being fantasy but those things are not predictable and we don't know the details. Where you're definitely wrong is on the "diplomatic agreement that worked". Iran continued to enri

There is a real divergence of experiences. That is one factor. There are people who are domain experts in some narrow complex domain who do such complex work that LLMs are still not there. I see some of that in my work place with large comp

Same experience. But that's simply because you think you're experienced but the OP knows that you're just deluding yourself. Just kidding. More seriously, I think this is a true reflection of a cultural phenomena. All discuss

Agree on getting enough protein (and sleep, and recovery time). Strength training isn't all about mass. You can get stronger without gaining mass. There is a neural component and an efficiency component. At some point though you do nee

I run and do strength training. I think the consensus is that it's not that beneficial for running. You're going to gain a bit of weight which presumably is going to make you slower. If you were a competitive runner then you'

The only thing I notice is the impact to my weight. I think it makes me marginally stronger but not a huge effect. I take it because research seems to indicate it's a net positive with a small effect and it seems very safe...

More water in the muscles is another effect. Also placebo. I do notice I'm a bit heavier when I'm on creatine.

Right. Humans are a biological computer. They have a state and they compute an output. I had to look this up (and use AI) but an estimate for the state of a human mind is about 5 peta-bits (10^15) and the estimated processing power is about

ELIZA also produced something similar to what humans produce. Transformers are pretty amazing but they're not at s/human/transformer/. They're limited in context, learning and long term performance in ways that are

Do you have an example of a large scale open source project where you would consider that entire code base to be high quality to your standards? I think you're saying "my bar is so high you even can't understand where it is&q

Good comment but I think the timelines are not clear. Humans are an algorithm. This was true before AI. In certain domains (playing chess e.g.) machines have already surpassed humans. Humans still play chess though and chess is more popular

I'm just trying to provide useful context. I can claim anything and you don't know me either way. Last I checked other than your peers (which you can imagine I've had) there is no subjective "stamp" for good vs. bad
