I'm generally sympathetic to this (I have a Tesla and I wish they used traditional turn signal stalks). But is the set of prescriptive rules really the way to evaluate the safety of the car? Wouldn't some statistics like the numbe

Just pick the one with higher saturation.

While A* could be used to solve Sokoban, wouldn't some sort of Monte-Carlo Tree Search be better at it? I wonder how would it compare to this model.

When you ask it to draw English monarchs or German soldiers in WWII, you usually wouldn't expect them to be black.

It looks like it's pretty expensive, but it's possible to buy A16 with 64G of memory for around $3k

I don't see it as a bubble at all. Investors see that generative AI has a lot of potential, and invest in the companies that are likely to benefit from it. That's how stock market is supposed to work.

The description misleads already in the second paragraph: "We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow." This is just not true: the share and absolute number of poo

That's around 3.9 Tb/s, in case you are wondering.

I don't think describing the build in C++ ( https://pagghiu.github.io/SaneCppLibraries/library_build.htm... ) can exactly be called a "sane" idea. Declarative build definitions are generally much easier to

It has to be, since it's been around since 1970s.

> value is in the network itself, not the platform The value is always in the content and authors, not in the platform, so in that sense Substack or Pateron are not unique. The question is how exactly are you going to monetize this conte

by eterevsky 3y ago
I think Substack is a pretty clear example of subscription model working well. There's also Patreon that is doing very well. I wouldn't discount YouTube Premium and Twitter subscriptions. They don't cover the majority of user

"These instructions are not for the faint of heart. The first link requires the user to open a command prompt window with administrative privileges. It's downhill from there ..."

It's _much_ better to burning trash in special facilities, where it is burnt down to CO2, rather to some kind of soot that will pollute the atmosphere. It will also be more efficient in terms of energy production.

Do you think it's fully cultural? I agree that it can partly be the case, but I doubt that it would explain all of the difference for several reasons: - Wikipedia cites the study that showed this effect for the brain size ( https:&#x2F

About 15 years ago I first heard that men generally have higher standard deviation than women over various measurable properties including IQ. I didn't know it was controversial until Damore's controversy at Google in 2017. I stil

It sounds like this article tells only part of the story. Why would Unity ban VLC? I wonder if they have given any official comments about this.

Why does this website look like it was made in 1999?

I'm even more excited to noGIL in 3.13. I wonder how these two features will play together?

It is pretty bad if I encounter say an open source project and want to quickly see what it depends on or answer another such question.

> 9. Never experiencing true defeat or setback I don't think this is correct. Bach was seeking a position of court composer (like Handel) and even sent his 6 Brandenburg Concertos to Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1721. He didn&

Fair enough, but unfortunately you are in a tiny minority.

This is true, but the closest example of this happening that I can think of is mandating USB-C for phones. I don't think governments have ever regulated anything like internet protocols. Also the standard has to have wide adoption befo

Centralization happens because it's easier and cheaper to implement services in a centralized fashion. Since users care more about features and price than about centralization, it seems pretty obvious that this problem can't be so

As a user I would rather have an explanation of how something works, rather than screenshots pointing to things that I need to click. Building a mental model of the software makes using it easier in the long term.

I'm working for Google in Europe. What position in Google were you interviewing for? I thought any engineering position requires around 4 technical interviews. There is no difference between Europe and the US in this regard.

When I wrote that it's not a decisive factor, I didn't mean that it doesn't affect the decision at all. It happened to me once or twice that I had such a hard time communicating with the candidate, that I highlighted it in th

Of course, I should've started with this. Different jobs require different amount of communication skills.

As an interviewer, when I rate the candidate that I just interviewed, I will take into account how good the candidate is at communication, but it wouldn't be a decisive factor. The decisive factor would be whether they solved the probl

An obvious alternative explanation would be that pages on controversial topics both attract toxic comments and are more difficult to edit. I am not sure whether this paper controlled for this.
