I've met uncomfortably high number of Mac users who cannot navigate the file system on their Mac.

I work somewhere where they actively encourage copilot, and I actually have some good use-cases. Most of the time it is just autocomplete on steroids. Scanning the suggestion and hitting tab is almost always faster especially if you have to

I have an impression that most SotA algorithms in many fields that are not deep learning are made available first as R (or even Matlab) package. Obviously they do get ported to python once they receive enough traction.

I agree, Rstudio is really dated. Been using R and Python at work in parallel, I find Rstudio cannot do obvious things that R extension for VS Code can- like stopping at a breakpoint in the middle or knitting an Rmd file that has embedded c

I was trying to install security updates into a ~8 years old laptop the other day. It's been updated to Windows 10 before. The updates were OTA, but after it completed there was no way to log into the local account without logging into

Um I don't really agree. Making mistakes is not the same as changing opinion based on new evidence. Fauci changed opinions, a lot of experts do. It's only the lay people with no idea how science works who will call it a "mist

> even Fauci has made mistakes he has later had to correct/retract, like his early herd immunity claim. You get new evidence and you update your beliefs. This is literally how science works and progress is made. If you had to put ev

This is exactly the type of solution we need. Redistribution of hydro and other resources can be an excellent use of excess energy.

Surely there are more useful avenues for harnessing excess energy than mining Bitcoins?

Agreed, 1/3 rule definitely does not work in VHCOL areas. I pay 28% in rent, that cuts down the commute and allows us to live at a stone's throw from good schools, grocery stores and small airports.

I think that's where the "Nvidia money" comes into play. I live in a VHCOL area and according to redfin/Zillow data, almost every house recently sold near me were paid for with between 40-60% down payment. If that's

I think OP meant how much people were paying in rent. "We're working for our landlords"- bulk of people's salary is spent on rent, so it's more profitable to become a landlord rather than grinding and paying rent.

I think there's a trade off between keeping business open for longer hours with more staff working on smaller shifts vs keeping business open 9-5 with one shift of workers to worry about. Managing more workers is costly, plus you pay m

Toyota just posted 11 million plus cars sold in a year- highest ever by an auto maker. Peak modern engineering, producing complex machines that just work, at massive scale.
