My experience is pretty bumpy. I have their laptop called Adder. Top issues I've ran into: o the screen is redrawn incorrectly for Chrome windows o there is a 10% chance that I'll have to reboot if I close the laptop without expli

Why is inch/ft easier than cm/m? As long as we use base 10, it seems trivial that units that are based on it are easier to deal with. Don't you hate it when unit prices for the same type of product, say coffee, are sometimes

For an AI noob like me: can you use spot instances to train models? They are about 1/3rd the price on AWS compared to on demand ones, so it'd make a significant difference.

I don't think GP is implying that it is OK to take risks with investor money. However it sounds right that you should get a longer prison term if you gamble and lose $8B than if you gamble and make some money on it.

IANAL but my understanding is that in a libel lawsuit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant knew what they were saying was incorrect. That is a really high bar, and it is hard for me to imagine a scenario where Hans could do that. A

To add to the sibling post: 5^5 is around 3000. So 5 engineers have a team leader, 5 of them are under a director, etc... So 5 layers sounds about right for a Twitter sized company.

Elon went from free speech absolutist to "Twitter aims to serve center 80% of people, who wish to learn, laugh & engage in reasoned debate." Quite the u-turn. I'm sure he put zero thought into that 80% figure, but even ba

I would assume that this is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion; a commentary on the state of chess in 2022. Otherwise it makes zero sense, because what you're doing is using the rules of one game, Real Chess, to determine what moves are allo

Why would you object to calling it oat milk? It's simple, descriptive, doesn't deceive anyone. It's not a coincidence that in most (all?) languages coconut milk is a just coconut + milk in that language. (Using coconut milk a

Language is flexible, and "seaweed bacon" clearly communicates what it is. Just like "soy/oat/coconut milk", the dairy lobby's objections notwithstanding.

Twitter's only argument could be that this wasn't a mass layoff assuming the numbers check out, IIRC less than 50 employees at a work location (whatever that means with all remote work). Musk bought the company about 30 days ago,

It is human that you want to know what the another person whom you idolize on some level is like. Literature must one of the areas where people care about this the most, because you spend many hours opening up your brain to their writing. I

USDT is at 98.4 cents now, so the upside is 1.6% (assuming USDT doesn't go over $1), and the downside is 100% if it goes to 0.

>It doesn't matter what you set your DNS TTL to, so you might as well make it low for your own sake. IMO that is a little misguided. 60-second and higher TTL will be honored most of the time. And I don't really get what that IS

So they hastily, after one week, laid off 50% of their staff, but it took just one weekend to realize that some of those people are needed? I guess they were really missed at Twitter, but this is not exactly the sign of a well run company

> "use heroku until you have 100k users" Thing is that for most/many startups 100k users is not a lot. Rejiggling your basic infra just as your growth is starting to accelerate is a non-trivial task, a risk, and something

Where do you live? Winter is when people traditionally use humidifiers because the air inside tends to be dry. (Cold air outside has a low absolute humidity, so relative humidity will be low when you heat it up inside.)
