Wouldn’t that lead to burnouts?

No. And that’s a bit of an issue - I’ve encountered people that plan to become parents and their understanding of the process is all wrong. Not saying that they’ll end up being bad parents - most people rise to the occasion, but it feels li

The article glosses over the bosses and board members, but it feels that’s where the story is. Often art institutions are not optimized to make money for the organization, but rather to employ specific people or make specific people visible

I wonder how many seconds could be won by the organizers if the challenge included a blant prompt injection breaking the result.

Potentially the challenge just doesn’t make as much sense anymore? There apparently are „mental calculations” competitions and I’m sure their participants have fun. Yet I can hardly imagine doing arithmetic in ones head is any fun for an av

Even if the addition is really driven by the environment, rather than its subject itself, can individuals actually solve the underlying social problem? Can they do so in a way that's actually scalable to a significant portion of the po

Are they implemented on bare metal, or is modern synthesiser just a regular computer with a keyboard attached?

Any notable examples apart from young children and Michael Scott that one time?

At a certain point in time Linux became the best platform available to base wide variety of projects on, so the industry followed and made it a de facto standard. It seems, at least superficially, that Blender has all the capabilities neede

At the same time, I'd expect it should have its Linux-moment by now and eat the world, but it doesn't seem to be the case for high profile productions.

I’ve had this happen with smaller, local LLMs. It seems inspired by the fact that sometimes requests for help on the internet are met with refusals or even insults. These behaviors are mostly trained out of the big name models, but once in

If that’s the case - sure. But that’s not inherent to code challenges. I evaluate results of challenges at work, they require 2-3 hours of candidate time and it rarely takes less than half of that time to fully evaluate and form a recommend

Interviewing is a time investment for both sides. Should the company charge you to evaluate your skills?

Overfitting is a concern.

Maybe all forms of asceticism work that way - what’s initially a challenge, eventually brings comfort.

"No silver bullet" usually holds true. The same methodology might make an inexperienced team productive AND be an impediment for an experienced one.

Most domains lie somewhere between serving engineers and doing something really complex and sensitive. It's always a nice goal for your engineers to gain significant proficiency in the product domain, so they don't have to defer a

So I suppose people must use it all the time to buy goods and services. Right?

The fonts are pixelated, but those pixels don't appear to align with the physical ones, so they're blurry in some places. Meanwhile, on a real 98 you either had crisp fonts, or neatly and consistently blurred by the CRT.

I also have a Roomba from around 2019 and it feels kind of like a finished product. I’m not that interested in mopping. Never connected it to the internet. I push the button every few days and empty the trash compartment when it requests to

I think the argument is that if a manager is so far removed from the work being done, that they don’t even know who’s doing what, than they’re a figurehead anyway.

But it seems like Apple could make "fetch" happen in the past. Their ads were very aspirational, almost like you could become an Olympian if you just owned a Macintosh. These ads though, they're not about "you can do mor

After 15 years of having a desk job I find that I’m more sensitive to the position I sit in. My back feels a lot better if I have a single, regular sized screen right in front of me, instead of having additional screen estate on the sides o

I get the concerns towards Wikipedia governance, but this feels almost like slacktivism. It’s been done numerous times, to slap ActivityPub onto a communication mode and call it a „federated foobar alternative”. It never works, it always fa

That’s not addressing the right issue. Encoders and switches are not the expensive parts. What’s expensive is designing the dashboard with precise holes, before you actually start the manufacturing process, lining up the component with the
