This is a great idea! Thank you!

Yes I very much have those problems. It's strange because I'm objectively a good engineer, but semantic retrieval is very difficult for me. It has been my entire life. When I was a kid I did a round of testing for ADHD, and one of

I want one thing - tell me people's names. I have the unholy ability to say your name several times and have an hour long conversation, and still not remember it next time I see you. People take this so personally that I've starte

Seems like a no-brainer. I wonder if they ever started to build these capabilities in house; I'm sure they already had so much of the tooling available.

Cash in USD? They aren't hedged at all against hyperinflation. Wait for a few more gold bars before buying that Accord.

Seriously, I work at a FAANG and Zuck would be in the top 5% most talented people at my company. Hands down. That doesn't take away from all the things he's clearly _terrible_ at, one being actually caring about other people, but

I lived in Iowa City for several years while my kids were young. It is an amazing city. Everyone is lovely, the restaurants are great, home of an active local grocer, tons of activities by the university, great schools, low CoL, completely

Exactly what I thought of. Everyone should read Exhalation.

"Do you want to come with" is a Midwest colloquialism?? Wow I say it all the time. Very weird to find out.

You flipped SELECT and WHERE, which probably just solidifies your point. I can't count the number if times I've seen this trip up analysts.

Idk what happened on their end, but someone close to me was recently diagnosed with cancer. After the biopsy came out positive, they wanted to do a pet scan, but had to wait for approval from insurance (which apparently could take several w

I don't know if we had bad service or what, but I bought both my kids cell-connected Apple Watches and had a terrible experience. Could never get ahold of them, half the time they couldn't call us or message us, battery sometimes

Entity matching is way easier in the age of LLMs. Not like Amazon is lacking the compute or abilities. So yes, do that, find out who is selling what.

100%. Worst is when the called function is in a separate file, and the most upsetting is when it's the _only_ function in the file. I really wish IDEs or tools like Sourcegraph could handle this better.

Confusingly, this is the contents of a second and separate antitrust suit against Google: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Google_LLC_... This first one is about dominant market position by paying for p

Sorry my comment was in jest about how those exact lackeys have denigrated out federal workers, and here they are behaving in just the way they claim the workers are. I hope your comment and this one clear it up, thank you!

Love it. If I did this at work I would be fired. God government workers have it the easiest huh

Yes, this. Choose one important piece, focus on that, move the needle if you can. Do not let yourself get bogged down with all this nonsense!

This must be based on company. At my previous position I worked with MANY Europeans (mainly Munich and London, but also Poland and France) and they all worked late hours to overlap US tzs. I was always so impressed by how little they compla

Right? I am astounded by these takes. If every corp and every job was this way, our country would be a high-stress, unemployed wasteland. Any org will drop thousands in a heartbeat. Your family would never be safe. We work so hard already.

False dichotomy. They will likely be used to continue tax cuts for the wealthiest (and corporations? I don't remember), which are set to expire. That is neither scenario that you envisioned.

How are you so sure how the midterms will shake out? We seen to be seeing a withering of dissent.

Why do those people still work there? They should be let go individually to find something more compatible. Mass layoffs are not the way to make that decision.

This is a false dichotomy. The truth is we are constantly moving further and further away from the silicon. New developers don't have as much need to understand these details because things just work; some do care because they work at

There are a lot of transpilers, and they don't get much adoption because the people implementing them are not the people implementing the database. The database and the query language are tightly coupled. The latter determines the kind
