I’ve crossed his Royal Albert Bridge, the rail connection between Devon and Cornwall over the River Tamar, many times. It opened in 1859 and still carries around 30 trains per day. Great view too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

As I read it, the point of the linked article is not to argue that a specific approach will work, but more to argue about what effects hypothetical policies would have, if successfully enacted, which is a core concern of economics. The argu

Significant sub-areas of computer science do their own publishing nowadays. Peer review is already volunteer, and authors are already expected to produce their own publication-ready PDFs (mostly via LaTeX, sometimes Word), so it’s not a hug

I’m a researcher, not using anything in production, but I find jax more usable as a general GPU-accelerated tensor math library. PyTorch is more specifically targeted at the neural network use case. It can be shoehorned into other use cases

DC recently eliminated the tipped minimum wage and tipping culture is definitely in flux. Mostly because many restaurants have started adding a 10-20% service charge (called various things, like a “restaurant recovery fee”) to make up for t

I don’t see as much of that as I did back when the university required masks. The students wearing masks now seem to be a self-selected subset who are more worried about covid than average. I do see a decent number of surgical masks (vs N-9

I’ve noticed an uptick in students wearing masks in class (I teach at a university). Definitely a minority, but up from near-zero to now maybe 10-20%. Unlike previous waves, the university administration is studiously avoiding mentioning co

$1.75 in my building! Most standalone commercial laundromats do cost more, in the $3-4 range, and those almost always take credit cards. I don’t think I’ve ever had to use an app though, just a card.

My apartment building’s laundry uses quarters and just has a change machine in the laundry room. It is almost a closed loop token system since people tend not to use the quarters for anything besides laundry. You stick a bill in the chang
