Does anyone else feel like the current climate is partly a by-product of the lazy “think of the children!” Rhetoric that so many law enforcement agencies and politicians use to get their legislation and budgets passed? It’s hard to let kids

I like their articles, but I can’t recommend the Economist after attempting to cancel my subscription the last time I had one. It took me over an hour of digging through the website, and then phone calls where they tried to up-sell me, side

Microsoft and Sony also take a percentage of in game transactions on their platforms. I don’t see how this is any different.

I have somewhat similar experiences. FF is the worst of the browsers I use in terms of feel (I don’t want to say it’s slower necessarily because I don’t actually time things, and I assume if a browser is smarter about what it loads first an

BNL does have dorms, and there is a reason none of them made it into that video, haha. Seeing all the shots in that video made me quite nostalgic, thanks for sharing. I’ve never seen that before :D

No company is a monolith, but the company, as an organization, is responsible for everything that happens inside the org. This is why it’s fair to criticize Amazon when it has poor worker safety issues in its warehouses, instead of needing

The economist was my first experience with this tactic, and I promised myself I’d never sign up again, no matter how good a deal they offered.

When fields are small, they can rely on much higher fidelity signals for hiring (having significant interactions with the individuals at conferences and workshops, for instance). I did my PhD in a sub field of nuclear physics, and even thou

Almost any product that is built without input from the people who are going to use it is going to be inherently worse. Imagine a team creating a camera from scratch who are not photographers, and who never included any photographers in the

All of the labs I’ve been to, including ones doing “weapons development” (shorthand for nuclear weapons programs, at least amongst my colleagues, who were not connected to those programs directly), have been very much like other areas of ac

This is incorrect - from population studies, we now know that both the mRNA vaccines reduce infection rates and reduce severity of symptoms for those who do get infected. In fact, they both show about 90% efficacy at preventing infection at

I would agree. I was pleasantly surprised with how my company handled the pandemic. I knew going into the job that they had a reputation for treating their employees well, but I saw it first-hand with how they handled work from home, lettin

I’ve had this happen with some exercise equipment - where they just say “the package was damaged in shipping” (even though I can see the package never made it to FedEx/UPS/etc), and then they “ship another one”, and repeat this pr

I do wonder if they stopped optimizing for Intel once it was clear they were going to release apple CPU based Macs. I don’t have one personally, but I’ve tested a family member’s M1 MacBook Air, and it’s the most responsive laptop I’ve ever

The old calculation relies on older experimental results that have been verified by multiple experiments - so if the older value is wrong, it means either the calculation was done wrong (possible), or the experiments all have had a signific

As someone who has worked in fields that use lattice calculations (on the experimental side), the new calculation is interesting, but I would not say it’s particularly convincing yet. Lattice calculations are VERY difficult, and are not alw

Alexey Petrov, quoted in the article, subbed in to teach one day in my quantum mechanics class :) It was the first day we were being introduced to the theory of scattering, and I will never forget his intro. He asked the class, “what is sca

The point is that there are now 10s-100s of experiments that have been reported to very good precision (obviously not all to the extra-ordinary precision of this measurement). There are no longer any “free parameters” in the SM, in the sens

As far as I understood, the rate of even the rare clotting issue was still approximately at or below the expected background level. Has this changed?

If anything, I would think “i didn’t lose my license to a DUI but I like to get some cardio” is a good thing, and any derision should be aimed at people who actually did endanger themselves and others by driving under the influence. I am ve

It may be true that TSMC and Samsung can meet demand during normal times, but it completely misses the point that NA and EU want significant production capacity locally not to reduce costs, but to secure a critical supply chain. Is this a s

As mentioned in another reply, Apple Maps many times suggests the “simplest” path (I believe it’s the minimum number of turns, but I’m not sure) as an option next to the fastest route. I think it’s my favorite feature of Apple Maps, and it’

I almost always take the simpler route, especially in areas I’m not familiar with. It’s a very nice quality of life feature that doesn’t get mentioned much.

Death is not the only outcome of a crash. In fact, it’s relatively rare. Further, I’d argue a single death due to confusion of FSD’s capabilities is enough to make the complaining not “sanctimonious BS”, because that one death probably coul

Nothing in the post contradicted that. It’s about Tesla FSD’s current status, not their hopes and dreams for the future of their software. And the current status is extremely divergent from what the name suggests. That’s the point.

This mixed messaging of “you don’t need to be looking at the road!”, “but you should be looking at the road.” Is going to lead to more deaths. As someone who works for one of the major global car companies, I’m very concerned for how breath

Your idea isn’t backed up by statistics. The vast majority of successful entrepreneurs come from upper-middle class or richer families. If it was just about “building a talent stack”, then the distribution would be relatively flat across al

The fact that they appear to have identified individuals who should be released, but have not, due to the software not being updated, is frankly disgusting. I believe holding a person against their will is a criminal act - seems like most o

Why would having different features be a code smell? I would compare it more to purchasing version X or Y of photoshop, or something similar. If you buy and older or cheaper version of the software, you get a different feature set. I can co
