   Wow. Thanks for contextualizing this goal. Great example.

   Beautifully said. I was appalled to realize the shallowness of the author’s methods. Then upon this sandpit they attempt to construct the un-caveated thesis: “Napoleon is the best general ever”. Is WAR even useful for comparing agents with

   Yeah. I think the creator could have benefited from posting more documentation, videos, and examples of what this thing really looks like in practice. When the documentation is so sparse it begins to feel a little like vaporware.

   “Western problem” yikes. To write off the economic successes of the west under the guise of “problem” with western culture is deeply problematic. If you were to use this tableau to jump into an argument against societies that are captilisti

   You actually make a really interesting point here. Advertising has permeated nearly every segment of media consumption. An interesting example is articles like this, and “reviews” of products that are actually paid adverts where the “review

   I had no idea such a device existed! These are really quite cool. Do they actually work as well as advertised?

   What a phenomenal piece of journalism. If anything, I think a piece like this can expose the limits of statistical analysis to the unfamiliar. They made a very thorough analysis of something rather boring, all without making untrue statemen

   A great book on the subject of the decline of Western superiority is “Has the West Lost it?” by Mahbubani [1]. He gives a fantastic overview of the stalling of the West following the confirmation of the allegeded superiority of the West’s “

    They are talking about the article itself. You wouldn’t want to click on this at work because of the picture of the naked erotic dancer featured.

    Can you go into detail about what things changed in the rewrites that enabled this reduction in RAM usage?

    I think it’s this very consistency that make using the JetBrains family of IDEs so painless. The power-user keybindings are equivalent across all of their products. The standardization make picking up a new language the hardest part about a

    I am not being sarcastic. I lived in Shanghai from June of 2017 --> January of 2018 and the pictures you see in that photoset are truly remarkable and thoroughly unrepresentative of the situation on the ground. There are certainly some s

    The final video [1] has a pretty compelling argument for the conversion to self-driving cars happening quicker than expected: Chen shows a picture of Easter morning in NYC in 1900 and asks the viewer to play "Where is the car?". A

    It would force the organization to its knees in my opinion. Unions for work in showbiz are ridiculous in that they restrict people to members of a specific union; e.g. All adjustments to an actor'a appearance must be done by the approp

    Medium to large Django projects were the first times that I began to see the power and usefulness of decorators. The most useful one I've used was a decorator to require certain JSON parameters in a POST and optionally specify a list o

    I'm not sure that calling it faulty is exactly fair. I feel like the attack is actually pretty brilliant, and has been non-obviously "vulnerable" for years.

    This is a truly unbelievable oversight on Amazon's part. Bad UI is almost certainly to blame for something so silly.

    Wow. Clay Bavor is one of the most articulate speakers that I've ever heard. He delivered a talk with an extremely high information density so cleanly. I really just want to hear this guy talk about things more.

    Not quite. North Carolina for instance has decriminalized carrying small amounts of Cannabis. The map in this article is particularly illuminating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decriminalization_of_non-medic...

    Percentage changes are a scaling factor against the previous number. 1-(new/old) is how it should be calculated. So even though they are comparing two percentages, they can't directly subtract them (new - old). Percentages describ
