Is there anything against glass containers? I'm debating what to use for medium/long term storage (replacing the contents) and indeed I'm wary of metal coatings.

I said not convinced, as in my user experince was/is still not conductive to the hype I perceive. The prompt says 'Ask anything', how should one know basic arithmetic is holding it wrong ? Btw it also failed all queries in m

Ok, so what do you suggest, people paying only casual attention should know this somehow?

Tiresome for you perhaps, but this was my very first deliberate interaction with LLMs. Hardly a puzzle btw, more like basic arithmetic.

Failed on the very first try, still not convinced LLM served by Perplexity Labs To solve the expression 2+2+2+2+2*1, you should follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and

So they say. TFA has a different take. It remains to be seen which interpretation will hold legally.

Major mental gymnastics. Do you want your service to be available to European customers? Play by their rules or withdraw. Nothing special.

Do Data Deletion Requests solve this issue under GDPR? Just keep sending them their way and let them deal with them.

Thank you for taking a look. Be warned though, I'm personally affected and just as biased as everyone else on both sides of the issue.

It was a bad edit, it (should not be controversial | should be the norm) to expect equal compensation for equal work. In slightly more detail https://elsajohansson.wordpress.com/2017/09/13/what-does-a-w...

Assuming interchangeable human resources there are basically 2 options, either the company is extracting more value from everyone than the salaries they pay, in that case paying fairly would eat into the company's bottom line. Poor CXO

Agreed, also, imo boring implies that failure modes are well understood or at least documented and have a bigger community to rely on when you eventually hit them.

Nitpicking alternatives is not the main point. There is nothing that suggest a platform like youtube has to exists in its current form. Consider a freemium model without the threat of adxtortion, obviously this would require youtube to offe

I find this a false proposition, there are plenty of other ways to to support a video streaming platform. There is nothing that suggest a platform like youtube has to exist in it's current form either. If a monetizing strategy does n

Somewhat agree but would go a step further, benchmarks at their very best are useless, at worst are completely misleading from an end user pov. Rendering and interpreting garbage as fast as possible is distant second from filtering it out r

It is not just startups, no wonder the age old wisdom is always-be-leaving if you want to get a raise/promotion. I think the rational is more like paying as little as possible for keeping smart people around who could outperform their

You mean besides the forced update? Unfortunately not much I can help with, in my case I was deliberately running ESR 78.14.0 which was force updated to ESR 102.11.0 on May 26 and later 102.12.0 on June 20 (setting is obviously 'Check

Why not just let everyone use their preferred method for authentication and not forcing a particular doing-it-the-right-way on people? Also, how many accounts and passwords people tend to have which are pets rather than cattle? Bank and ema

To a layperson like me, it is very hard to find the truth what is the true TCO when it comes to power plants, numbers depend on who you ask. E.g factoring in environmental impacts of manufacturing/shipping/fuel/installation,

To me it reads like the author just handwaves away the problems of solar, the exercise is left to the reader. I also find it contradictory that if we find efficient ways to store/use surplus (solar)energy, why would that make baseload

Better than humans is not really meaningful as human skills have a very wide range and they can even vary depending on the circumstances and available resources. Also, on average is not a great target either, sometimes it makes sense, but

It turns out developer performance is not that important.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree that these are valid points, but subtle differences at best and mostly solved for multinational companies. Not something that would justify such disparity in wages. On top of that there are obvious adva

Fair enough, although being content and discriminated is not mutually exclusive. In fact, even if you are satisfied with your numbers you can sympathize with those who are not.

Might be true in some zero-sum sense if the highest salaries are already subsidized by the lowest ones, but let's say some company is already turning a profit on their highest paid employees, it should be theoretically possible to ma
