Try it. You might be missing out! One of the benefits of getting all your trousers from a tailor made to your size is you never have to waste time trying on trousers, or waste time ordering-returning items.

Aren’t books massively outweighed by the crawled internet corpus?

It’s a valid interpretation. Fact checking may be the wrong word choice and if it wasn’t clear your story passed the fact check: there are indeed two statues, just like you described (with some margin for interpretation). I was just curious

I was curious enough to fact check this. The statue does look like two horses wrestling or even mounting two men, but here’s what the city’s tourism website says about it: [the famous sculptor Toma Rosandić] named this composition of bronze

Counterpoint: Try to use an LLM for even the most coarse of visual similarity tasks for something that’s extremely abundant in the corpus. For instance, say you are a woman with a lookalike celebrity, someone who is a very close match in ha

Ed Sheeran seems to have gone from objectively awful to subjectively passable. There is a clip of him on british TV host Graham Norton’ show playing a recording of some pretty terrible singing. https://www.google.com/search?

What kind of tools would you need to dump the ram of a locked macbook with disc encryption on? Seems like a pretty advanced microsoldering job. Facilities, equipment and skill requirements would limit this to extremely high profile investig

Oh! That’s a huge caveat if that’s indeed the case.

The author of the blog made his name and fortune founding Hashicorp, makers of Vagrant and Terraform among other things. Having done all that in his twenties he retired as the CTO and reappeared after a short hiatus with a new open source t

I think you are right in placing emphasis on delegation. There’s been a hypothesis floating around that I find appealing. Seemingly you can identify two distinct groups of experienced engineers. Manager, delegator, or team lead style senior

I would be tempted to try and optimise this as well. 100000 hits on an empty domain and ~200 dollars worth of bot traffic sounds wild. Are they using JS-enabled browsers or sim farms that download and re-download images and videos as well?

Is there a book like Docker: The Good Parts that would build a thorough understanding of the basics before throwing dozens of ecosystem brand words at you? How does virtualisation not incur an overhead? How do CPU- and GPU-bound tasks wor

CAC-LTV by itself is not a great long term strategy. But it can appear like one in the short term to investors. So there is a plethora of companies happily dumping investor money into paid customer acquisition. Blue Apron was a classic exam

While I get what you’re saying, “most enterprises” barely use gen AI in any meaningful sense, and AI observability is an even smaller niche technology.

You might be underestimating complexity and pay. What is and isn’t desirable, and to whom, is also complicated.

Is this some culture or region or climate related thing? I’ve never heard of BO brought up as a reason to avoid public transport or flying commercial in northern parts of Europe. Nor have I experienced any olfactory disturbance, apart from

Isn’t it widely assumed Microsoft used private repos for LLM training? And even with a narrower definition of stealing, Microsoft’s ability to share your code with US government agencies is a common and very legitimate worry in plenty of th

It’s not great compared to 10 years ago, but the last 3 years it’s been pretty stable. About 11-15 euros incl VAT per square meter at retail prices for the cheapest 3-ply 9mm and 5-ply 12mm softwood ply, brazilian import. I dabble in furnit

Beech is the cheapest of the common European hardwoods. Even through a distributor it’s only about 1400-1700 € per cubic meter in 5cm / 2” planks. For context, the cheapest construction lumber is about 300-800, oak 2500, american waln

Another way to estimate upper/lower bounds for hosting videos is by considering the grey market adult video industry. It seems like there are hundreds, if not thousands of websites providing access to video, and from a unit economics p

The brand reputation gets milked while cost cutting measures result in subpar products and services. Growth targets are gone, now you optimise for cutting costs faster than you lose market share. It’s not a Ponzi scheme, it just feels like
