The funding was tied to women and minorities only, so no veteran option. Also I would have had to get certified for that specific location which involves a third party that comes in and interviews the women / minorities to make sure th

I passed on an invitation to tender a number of years ago because there was no way to meet the minority / women quota that was tied to it. The big players use pass through front companies which isn’t feasible for me as I’m a solo opera

I know there is a personal responsibility / call to action in there but I think it elides both how politics work and how people work. Politics is run by cynical operatives skilled in mass manipulation and people generally believe what

The looting stage of collapse, people tend to think someone will come and save things but so long as there is more money in decline the leaders will do that instead.

While quasi regulated they just raise the bar of expertise required. Poisons, bioweapons, and explosives are pretty easy to make at scale without using suspicious inputs. At the moment the 3D printing crowd are pretty savvy I’m sure many co

I’ll grant that glider flight instructor are probably among the best pilots in the world, even if unpaid.

That scenario seems rather contorted, seems like taste is important part of writing a good essay.

I think that is a misreading, they got good grades due their prior stereotype of 'A' student despite doing 'D' student effort.

I could imagine, I guess that would be a side effect of large class sizes. An optimization when I was a student was to find out what the teacher thinks and re-affirm those beliefs with a few twists to give an appearance of depth. On occasio

My teachers, prior to AI, encouraged the 'equivocating waffle' essay. These essays met word count and touched on the topics but failed to say anything interesting. Basically how ChatGPT writes, and I've as mentioned previousl

I was working with the example given which was weak on two points, John Travolta gets paid and while his hours are impressive they nowhere near full time professional hours. Military pilots are also professionals, and of the glider pilots h

And how would John Travolta at roughly 5K lifetime hours compare to the best of the comercial pilots at 1K hours per year? Also John Travolta has a commercial licence and has been paid to fly. This argument seems absurd to me. I get that in

I did read it and I agree with the sentiment, but disagree that professionals have no chance to reach the level of amateurs.

I'm focusing on the following premise; > if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure Not only do I think professional have a chance to be as good as amat

I would suggest that’s an availability bias, those who do it for free are more likely to blog about it. There is a common distinction between professional and amateur with the former getting paid for their work. In general there is an under

I've been playing with this for the last few days. The model is fast, pretty smart, and I am hitting the same tool use issues. This blog post is unusually pertinent. The model speed isn't an issue on my dual 4090s, the productivit

It seems like general improvements in ram efficiency, such as that used in Gemma 4, means it’s back to memory bandwidth as the bottleneck and less about total available memory size. I’m also curious to see how much more agent autonomy will

I think it was more the violent people were hung, or ostracized to die in the wilderness. Animals likely have similar genetic pressures as some animals have evolved ways to determine who’s the strongest with contests instead of the more dea

Whose intent? POSWID Is about structural incentives not personal intent, and these can be, and likely are, an emergent behavior. It’s about reframing away from intents, treating the system as a structure and removing the whole structure for

Hense the credible belief. The Russians did manage to step down from violence so it is possible.

Or concretely, would the Israeli wars end sooner if Netanyahu was pardoned of all crimes? Would Kim Jong Un consider giving up his position if he could be pardoned, or at least credibly believe that he could live a life in luxurious exile?

There are some fairly common genes that can drastically effect the strength and duration of caffeine so your experience may vary. For me the effect is very strong and one cup lasts all day, even as a habitual consumer.

AFAIK they only let two ships pass before closing it again due to Israeli strikes on Lebanon, so in effect the strait is still closed and likely to remain so.

This is not peace terms it’s a ceasefire, and most likely it’s not even that. It appears little has changed except Iran can now charge a toll.

We will have to agree to disagree on Israel’s long term viability without the support of the US. Perhaps if Iran was defeated but so far that has not happened.
