I’m not sure how much credibility I’m willing to extend to Andreessen after the past 5 years. Sounds like snake-oil when they say it.

This has directly impacted me because it’s created unclear guidance for people currently in escrow.

Of course there could be sexual selection at play! I would argue though, that form of selection will take at many generations to take hold where as genocide of a species happens in a single generation. Of course, the smaller the population,

Rapid population bottlenecks can easily cause non-linear evolutionary change by drastically changing the histogram of phenotypes.

I'm not sure. I think if I rewrote your argument with "social media" instead of "smart phone" it would sound just as convincing.

> Asking a family member how they are feeling should not be considered an in-depth activity. Why not? Of all the people in the world I ask “how are you feeling” it’s my family that I both expect and receive the most in-depth answers and

Perhaps we need hazardous collection bins just for this. I have a collection of spent batteries that I need to dispose of but it’s been inconvenient enough that I haven’t brought them to a collection center yet.

That’s a good point actually and I hadn’t considered the fish that have delicate spawning. Eggs and fry cannot travel far.

The overhead of abstracting away the servers is a luxury in many ways. This extra cost I believe was heavily funded by low-interest rates which flushed the VC world with dough. There’s been a lot less serverless talk since the fed started c

Serverless feels like a low-interest rate era technology.

Fish aren’t likely the ones at risk. Corals, plankton, and other invertebrates that can’t move too far are going to be heavily selected against if they aren’t heat tolerant. My lab in college used to study heat shock and how it impacted evo

If you want to put it terms of animals, maybe a session is an organism but the model is the DNA. We don’t “learn” from scratch, we have a model that develops our brain and processing centers and wires them to be able to learn from scarce da

I guess this is neat but I’d rather write code myself.

Nothing I dread more than needing to edit the tangled web of jsonnet files that constitute our grafana dashboards. A jumble of spaghetti with hard to find documentation.

Bank runs aren’t a conspiracy they are emergent behavior. They are the reason FDIC insurance exists in the first place.

It’s an insurance payout, not a bailout. If someone totals my car the insurance doesn’t say “well, that’s the risk of owning a car” and pay nothing. Insurance exists for these scenarios.

The US agency making the assertion is the department of energy. Obviously the foremost thought leaders in virology and epidemiology.

In some states this is legally enforced and if the company opens the position back up within 6 months of the layoff, the former employee needs to be offered the position back.

Only 25 men were used? How can we possibly extrapolate that to others??

So, this is basically what dynamic languages do because they _can_ go back an allocate more memory transparently to the developer. However, static languages cannot change the size of the values dynamically at runtime without additional memo

by chewbacha 4y ago
Wouldn’t memory allocation still be IO of a different resource? We’re still getting slowed down reading and writing bits to a storage device. Perhaps it’s not the hard drive but the claimed blocker here doesn’t appear to be CPU.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that analogy is apt. It would be more akin to buying a MacBook and then needing to pay apple a subscription to speed up your M1 chip and improve battery life. The reason this feels bad is that I’ve already paid

50 units per dose would be 20 doses per vial. 3 meals a day * 30 days would be 90 meals. 90 meals / 20 doses / 1 vial = 4.5 vials / month 4.5 * 25 = 112.5 I’m not seeing how we get to $666

I was hoping that the author would address the environmental concerns. But instead, they are mentioned and then dismissed without argument. The enumerations are many that are mentioned: They are blamed for displacing populations, disru
