The agents can be sandboxed or at least chroot’d to the project directory, right?

I’d like to see airlines charge for carryons and allow checked bags for free. Carryons are by far the best experience for a passenger - your bag is there with you and you don’t have to arrive at the airport early, nor wait around at baggage

Is this really about military spending? The US used to make so many products and appliances domestically - everything from steel to uranium to doorknobs to refrigerators to chemicals to CRT displays to roofing shingles, and everything in be

If the risk is normal-tension glaucoma, then simply measuring ocular pressures isn't going to be valuable. What test are you thinking of?

As a stickler for spelling myself, I had to go back and check. I meant that sentence in the present tense as these situations continue to occur.

How interesting! I have had mild tinnitus my whole life (with no obvious lifestyle cause), and my migraines do often manifest as pain / pressure behind the eyelid. But I don't have any of the myriad other symptoms listed for Flamm

I'm so interested in this topic, for a weird reason. Since I was a kid, I've thought I was "prone to migraines", and ascribed various triggers to them - sun exposure, heat, physical exertion, mental exertion, etc. I&#x27

Your point is quite valid for people who are new to software engineering, and learning things for the first time. But in this regard I don’t see AI as any different from other tools that have exceeded human capabilities in one way or anothe

This is likely because the state they live in does not allow insurance companies to price their coverage according to risk, and applies political pressure when they try to do so. Insurance companies are demonized and characterized as heartl

I have a degree in CS from MIT and did professional software engineering from 2004 - 2020. I recently started a company in another field and haven’t done any real development for about 4 years. Earlier this summer I took a vacation and deci

Plenty of people spend time and money preparing for low-probability but highly catastrophic events. Purchasing insurance that covers your home for fire damage is one such example. The fact that the chance of a well-maintained home burning d

In what situation do you imagine a civilian legally using a gun for self-defense is not “panicked”?

No one is debating that deceleration results in tire wear. The two claims you've made are that deceleration results in more tire wear than acceleration, and that regenerative deceleration results in more tire wear than non-regenerative

Actually it’s quite smart! Probably the smartest possible solution to the problem they tried to solve. “Smart” doesn’t have to mean complex and technically sophisticated.

Huh? What do you imagine is the tradeoff between regenerative braking and tire life? Are you suggesting that stopping the car with conventional iron brakes is somehow easier on the tires?

It depends on the specific institution, but the US higher educational system does have a lot of very specialized degrees. This is part of a "Food Science & Nutrition" program ( https://staging.fshn.illinois.edu/

This is one of the most delightfully bizarre (and disgusting) interactive features I've ever seen from the NYT. Reminds me of the content you'd find on the Internet in the 90s.

Why did the cars get 50% larger? Was it for crashworthiness?

It’s notable that he was not the patient, he was the patient’s husband who somehow was allowed to enter the room with the MRI machine. The superconducting magnet in an MRI scanner is always on even when not performing a scan. This was pure

More Musk absurdity that he describes this as having “launched” the Robotaxi service when for all intents and purposes they still have a human driver.

The locks get pretty worn out after 30 years. Probably any key made from the same blank would turn the lock.

This is complete nonsense. No one in charge of product planning - for consumer electronics or automobiles - thinks this way.

This hasn’t been “launched to the public”. It’s a developer beta so that developers can start working on testing and updating their apps for the new OS.

How good do you think a human brain is at doing this if you simply provided the contents of the file as a string of characters (i.e. not in a text editor with line breaks rendered, etc.)?

I find LLMs very useful when I need to learn something new, e.g. a new library or API, or a new language. It is much faster to just ask the LLM how to render text in OpenGL, or whatever, than read through tons of terrible documentation. Or,
