I think most people have no idea how to use it efficiently either. Cooking shows and recipes often depict simply adding threads directly to a recipe. Growing up, I was taught to grind a small amount into a fine powder and mix with a bit of

A belief is honestly held if it is based on your best ability to apply reason to facts. A belief is dishonestly held if any other consideration comes between you and reality--that is, if you evade. You could choose to not carefully think ab

I did not say the what you claim I said. A person may dishonestly believe something.

You are too generous in your reply; the GP's position cannot be held honestly. Spending just a few minutes googling or searching HN would be enough. Just as a starting point, there's the ~quarterly immigration attorney AMA. https

Thank you for explaining point 1. My brief googling of the issue led me to find mostly loud, angry voices, none of which mentioned these facts. This completely changes my evaluation. Regarding point 3, I agree that the software would be in

I lead a platform engineering team. We have a lot of challenges that I think antithesis could help with. I’d like to try it. But… I did not know the history of foundation db until last week—specifically about the Apple acquisition and the r

Interesting. Let's review the comment. > The issue here isn't specifically about the classification of memory, be it "unified memory," RAM, or VRAM. The primary concern is ensuring there's enough memory capacity

Everything you need to know about government bureaucracy, including the EU’s , you can learn from watching the TV show “Yes, Minister.”

This is interesting. Any chance you will open source it?

It’s interesting how LLM spam has helped me become much better at identifying bullshit. Literally every sentence of the GP is semantically empty garbage. Note that the GP is also the submitter of the story itself. > I agree with all thes

The GP’s point isn’t that the model is wrong “because nuance X”, it’s that the model directly contradicts good practice. You also changed the model under consideration (GP said compressed code size; you said just code size), disagreeing wit

I’m baffled by how Nextdoor keeps making it through Gmail. I feel like I’ve marked innumerable emails from them as spam over the years. Maybe they are a major revenue source for Google?

Pages 124, 130, and 131 of the crosstab are fascinating. From page 124, the 4 indicators that you probably read a book are Race (white), Income (100k+), Voter registration status (registered), and party/ideology (not a centrist).

My understanding is that book bestseller lists are essentially just opinions, e.g. NYT has a select list of book stores they contact to gather sales information. There are no industry-wide sales metrics, unlike the music industry. From what

There was span of a couple years when I had to commute ~3 hours per day. I easily completed 1-2 audiobooks per week. But more to your point, what percentage of the population do you think is active on goodreads? I can't find any MAU nu

A modern mainframe is a system specialized in extremely high transaction throughput at extremely low cost-per-transaction, while guaranteeing data durability and computational correctness.

I previously led a significant chunk of developer evangelism at IBM. Mainframes are unbelievably powerful, feature-full, and cost-effective. You are almost certainly better off buying a low-end mainframe than hiring a team of engineers to b

It depends on how pervasive the issue is. Is it just two slightly nonconforming holes, or is it random sampling that suggests many nonconformances? It is not really feasible to test an installed rivet without destructive testing, because us

The article is light on details, only stating: "...a worker at a Boeing supplier flagged that two holes in the plane’s fuselage may not exactly meet specifications." This statement is missing the information needed to grasp the se

I cannot conceive of the scenario where it makes sense to recover a bounds-checking induced panic. The process should crash; the alternative is to continue operating in an unknown, irrecoverable, and potentially security compromised state
