People don't really choose to work, we work because we need to afford food and get health care and rent housing etc. If you live in a town where the job you can get is at Amazon then you don't really "voluntarily" work t

Sure, but other stats are useful too like "Unicorns per capita" being higher than any region except SF. Stockholm is surprisingly innovative - even the day to day surprises me with technical integrations between services. I used t

Which is why I used terms like "in my opinion". Data is great but slow and I know my feelings are reciprocated by many others. Give it a year and see if current sentiment affects the stats as this is an ongoing issue while the dat

Swedish unions are there to set minimum wages, benefits, pensions, etc… because we have an actual free market & the social cushion for the natural losers of a free market. Unions have to take the role of negotiating with companies becau

I love it when people parrot what they heard - what misinformation? Do you mean the Robert Kennedy stuff? I can have my own strong views that the vaccines were useful and still enjoy content - if you just consume what you hear and relay it

I think I'm using a different app to the rest of these commenters, I don't have anything as bad as people are talking about. Or do people just use the free version of the app?

Rogue likes are good enough, if you build a procedurally generated games it’s very hard to not make it very boring and empty. Many roguelikes do a good job at keeping things fresh enough to replay while not allowing for that.

This is a little off, unless you give “unit” a very different term than most use it. The term unit vs division tests are used in the military, so a unit test is to check combat readiness of a unit and division tests is the combat readiness

I read they use that methodology at Google X - the team take pride in proving ideas can't work by doing the hardest part first. There's some good blog posts on how this works and how they kill projects fast.

What does an LLM really do? And can it create sometimes entirely novel math that goes against its training set to solve something, and know it’s right using a proof tool that may not even accept that? I agree but on a different order of mag
