Carmakers have been tending towards SUV and crossover designs because they make more money on them. The ID.4 is a crossover, basically an SUV on a car frame rather than a truck frame. I too wish they made more compact cars, but it seems t

At this point, I view the job search process as stochastic rather than deterministic. I model my job search using the binomial distribution. All that you need to know is what how frequently you get interviews and offers to then explore th

I wanted to be both transparent and protect myself by adding the disclaimer. I perhaps should have added that I am not a lawyer to make it clearer.

No problem, I'll give you a serious answer. First of all, I'm not a lawyer. I'm a mechanical engineer. And to answer your question, yes, many attorneys are in fact worried about giving legal advice online [1], especially the

Wow, great catch! I just copied the text idly without reading it closely. I agree that the examiner may not have looked at the discussed reference (US5653925A). (Disclaimer: this is not legal advice.)

This comment is not legal advice. This comment is merely for educational purposes. The quote that you have about the 1997 patent, namely "U.S. Pat. No. 5,659,925 teaches a process for adjusting the deposition rate..." is from the

Traditional search can become "spamming text" nowadays because search engines like Google are quite broken and are trying to do too many things at once. I like to think that LLM-based search may be better for direct questions but

This is a great analogy. I find myself thinking that by abstracting the entire design process when coding something using generative AI tools, you tend to lose track of fine details by only concentrating on the overall function. Maybe the

I'm in research and I'd just like to add that in many respects, you are not treated like an adult by some people until you have completed a few postdocs. Multiple graduate degrees are simply not enough for some people.

The problem is that voter registration information is public, or at least available to the campaigns, and campaigns in general seem to increasingly abuse the information. I've received far too many political advertisements this year.

Generative AI is just the new "bottom" in terms of quality. All that you have to do to compete against it is to be a little better than it. The question to me really is whether the quality of this new "bottom" is adequ

I agree. I lived in West LA for a few years and noticed that I was just walking around a lot more than in previous locations. I measured it to be typically 5 to 10 miles per day (I don't recall the number of steps but I recall gettin

Various people have told me over the years that you have to write the job ad broader or else you will get nothing but applicants that satisfy all requirements. By making it more vague about precisely what you want, you can then narrow it y

I often use custom domains for email and haven't encountered this. From what I know, the best practice is to use a domain that you have had for a while and to use nameservers or MX records from an established service (basically). I d

I agree that many modern Fortran codes aren't truly "modern" Fortran, but in my experience most codes have at least been ported to Fortran 90, even if they largely keep a lot of Fortran 77 baggage (especially the type system

I have also talked to many researchers and professors about this, but to me it just seems to come down to survivorship bias. We all observe a lot of scientists who care a lot about their careers because the ones who don't focus as muc

I suppose at that scale you may not have to worry as much as errors like this, but I still think the point that there needs to be a human in the supply chain shows how much of AI is in fact just laundering of human intelligence. There&#x27

TikZ does have a steep learning curve and can get pretty convoluted, but once you get a hang of it, you have a tremendous amount of control over what you are doing. I sometimes feel like TikZ is more like TeX instead of LaTeX given how pri

I agree that it is actually pretty confusing what kind of "freeze" The Work Number offers when you do it, especially since The Work Number does not distinguish between hard inquiries and soft inquiries and groups both together as

I have never heard of Pave before, but this just sounds like yet another copy of Equifax's "The Work Number" [1]. Basically, HR at many companies gives your salary and employment history data to Equifax, who then sells acces

Hi, I didn't comment on the cancer part. The discussion elsewhere in this thread connecting this to exercise seems specious to me. I was just trying to put in a good reminder to warm up before you exercise. I appreciate your clarifi

I want to expand a bit on your last statement. It is generally true but there is some important nuance I'd like to add. There may be some increased lactate temporarily but it will be minimal for aerobic exercise. It takes at least 2

Yes, this is obviously a joke given that the first file starts with SSNs with prefix 000. That prefix is not used [1]. The only information listed here is what appears to be an enumeration of every possible SSN, without any other related

I agree that implementing it like how cryptocurrency works would be bad. I'm not in favor of that. But as I had said, I'm not arguing for any specific implementation. However, smart cards for IDs is one implementation that alre
