Oh yes, the Prius gets even better lifetime because the hardest strain on the engine components is completely negated by the electric motor. If I ever ditch the little mini sports car, I will most likely replace it with another Prius.

Yes, the incident report claims this was limited to their client dashboard. It most certainly was not. I have the PagerDuty alerts to prove it...

As a lifelong Toyota fan, I agree they are miserable to work on, especially the electronics. I have a stoplight switch issue in my 86 (from being rear-ended) that I have neglected because it would require pulling out the trunk assembly to f

It's a very silly way of saying that the data the LLMs had access to was presented in chronological order, so that for instance, when they were trading on stocks at the start of the 8 month window, the LLMs could not just query their A

I suppose it depends on your definition of "pay off". It will pay off for the people investing in it, when the US government inevitably bails them out. There is a reason Zuckerberg, Huang, etc are so keen on attending White House

Kagi is based in the United States, as is YC. If you are concerned about heinous war crimes and the slaughter of civilians to the point that you don't want to use private services from countries that conduct such acts, you should avoid

That could certainly be one way to handle it, if your specific problem domain supports that logic being in stored procedures.

I feel that if you have multiple sets of application logic that need to access the same data, there should be an internal API between them and the database that keeps that access to spec.

I don’t think that’s how most humans work, but yes it is good for the author to recognize and seek to rectify it.

Anecdotally, I don’t think that’s true. A lot of the good friends I have made purely through the internet are on the spectrum.

I can’t say I have ever experienced this problem after conversing with someone more than a handful of times. Sure it applies to things like random people on social media and such, but after a mutual exchange or two you should be over it.

Yes, it’s not the same at all. In electronic chat I can ask someone to explain their question and wait for it in writing. In person, I often have to listen to them stumble over the concept because they didn’t think about what they wanted to

One of the author’s primary reasonings for why remote work sucks is apparently that they find it difficult to treat other people like human beings without close proximity to them. That’s pretty weird and uncomfortable and I don’t know that

I also use a pi-hole, but I have had to mess with the configuration and troubleshoot things so often that I don’t feel comfortable recommending it to non-technical people. I also think the average person is more likely to need this on a cel

If someone had an easy set up for this documented so the less technically-inclined could do so, it’d be a great public service.

Anecdotal, but this reminded me of when I attended a conference in las vegas, booked two to a room, and unbeknownst to us or the booking agency, the hotel had a large window between the shower and the sleeping area that had no kind of shade

This new study that did not find a causal link was part of the attempt to find out how. The original study was more of an observation than a deep dive. You could think of it similar to a study that shows something like "People who don&

It is completely fair to expect an author presenting himself as an authority on a subject to have done cursory research on said subject. The title and premise of the article are a blatant lie.

No, my question is why someone with a job unrelated to subject didn’t bother to do enough research to find out something as simple as the fact that amphetamines were already used to boost productivity in Huxley’s era before writing as if he

Why does a space engineering lecturer believe he has novel thoughts on ADHD treatment inspired by an author from a medical era he didn’t bother to do cursory research of?

I really don't understand why this exists. Tab grouping is such a minimal and intentional cognitive task. Why would I want to offload this to AI?

I did not claim to be the average user. Most of my apps do not get updated unless they rely on APIs that force them to update. Furthermore, I have several android apps I published over 15 years ago that still function without updates on the

I have casually wondered what term to use to describe this phenomenon myself, and now I have it. It’s why I like pixel art, chiptunes, polaroids, one-pot stews and modern video games for retro consoles among many other things. Sometimes I f

I don't believe this is generally true. I have automatic updates for apps disabled on both my Android phones and iOS devices, and regularly use some apps that were installed years ago. There are obviously going to be some exceptions fo
