No. I am able to read it from California.

Nah, that was the aughts. These days the only anxiety is about cost of living, but it doesn't hit until college age. Speaking completely truthfully, my perception is that the teens of today are better adjusted psychologically than an

For better or for worse, when I was in school in the 80s and early 90s, tracking started in about 4th grade (not counting kids who skipped earlier grades entirely). I essentially had about 90% the same kids in all my classes from 4th grade

When my son was on Accutane a couple years ago it was a 7mo course. His prescription, from the same pharmacy with the same insurance, never cost the same amount twice.

I think this depends a lot on whether you're already using high level languages and lots of external libraries vs doing lower level programming using something like C/C++. I managed a large dev team in a Microsoft shop and it w

I am not privy to specific details, but in general there is a difference between investment and partnership. If it's literally an investment, it can either be in cash or in kind, where in kind can be like what MSFT did for OpenAI, ess

I think that's an unfair reading of things. As a counter-example, my kids are in the "honors" track at their public schools, have done accelerated math since middle school, and will end high school having done Calc BC as a s

Perhaps for a small segment of the school-going population but this is not universal and you know it.

Only some Google products. Most still run on internal platforms, not GCP.

This is essentially the inverse of how big banks are using commercial AI tools for document entity extraction and analysis. For example, https://cloud.google.com/solutions/lending-doc-ai?hl=en I can see why this could

At some inflection point, though, cramming becomes learning. This is in a different place for each individual, but it's true regardless. Nobody hires anybody other than artists based on whether they can "create an artful and ____

The biggest problem with all this is that it's very nearly impossible to tell what kind of cable you have most of the time. If you're lucky (or purchased wisely), the cable will have it's type and class printed on it, but mo

"most of the time easy" ... = z2. z1 isn't going to lead to any adaptations (or burn many calories, depending on your objective), and z3+ isn't "easy", so for all your agita about San Milan & Attia you&#x2

You sound like a guy perfectly happy executing workouts directly in TrainerRoad! :D

Frankly, I don't see how anyone could really do z2 while fully concentrating on something else (work). z2 isn't "hard", but it's definitely more effort than just spinning.

I've tried taking meetings while on the bike and as soon as my HR gets above about 105 it becomes noticeable to the other party that I'm clearly doing something exertive. And even though my RHR is about 48-50, riding at 105bpm do

Doesn't work well when you have a busy family life. I would argue that anyone doing 1200km a month is not a casual cyclist, and if you have a partner, they need to be fully onboard with your "hobby" time commitment for somet

Yes, but. For all of the happy survivor stories like yours (and mine), the reality is that the rate of child accidental deaths has steadily decreases over the past few decades as parents (and society) became more protective. That isn'

Which is cool and all, but totally unnecessary for approximately 100% of users. You should at least provide an option to do everything in js. Also, for ux reasons, I'd love this as a browser extension. Cloudy Calculator can do a lot

I'm not even sure there was any way to turn credits won into anything fungible. Everyone was given a small amount of credit to start, and it was perfectly allowable to go negative... Afaict, it was almost more of a "long bets&quo

Very true. At Google it was treated much like Memegen where top bettors -- like top memers -- were rewarded with clout & notoriety, but it basically stopped there. A lot of the wagers actually were on "inside baseball" topic

Yes, and it can be quite a stretch when playing. Similar to Rachmaninoff in terms of "reach" (but absolutely not in style). (Am pianist, too.)

I'm under the impression that within the hyperscalers (and probably the big colo/hosting firms, too), this is known. It's important to them, and customers, especially when a customer is trying to architect an HA or DR system

My impression is that actually solving this classic RPA problem with AI is exactly the raison d'etre of AI21Labs with their task specific models[1]. They don't have the biggest or best general purpose LLM, but they have an excell

On the one hand, there are some important nuggets in this report. On the other hand, Schiller doesn't seem like an entirely credible witness and his outreach to look for government oversight seems limited to extreme MAGA Republican

I think a lot of it has to do with how little software -- even enterprise software -- is actually written from the ground up. Reliance on both external libraries and modules owned by unrelated internal teams has made a lot of both the prog

I grew up with an Apple II, then switched to Windows from 3.11 for Workgroups all the way up to Vista, at which point I switched to desktop Linux (variety of distros, but mostly ended up on Kubuntu in my house and Mint for family). Then it

Arguably, I'm not as concerned about "every action of every user on every machine" as I am the exceptions, and the usability issues the aforementioned "security platform" causes in terms of end user efficiency are p

To be comparatively fair, Google doesn't run almost any of it's public products on Google Cloud, either (nor many of the internal apps).

I live in San Jose, and bike a lot, and all three of my kids bike to school, too (I accompany the 2nd grader). Everything you say is true and correct. But, San Jose is still far more bike friendly than the vast majority of American cities
