Started reading this and felt my head start to spin a bit, is it just me or does this author seem to have misunderstood the term "coordination failure"? This example about UEFI is like the perfect OPPOSITE of a coordination failur

Focus on a specific domain or specialization rather than “data science” as a whole. The idea that you can make a career out of knowing some pandas and scikit-learn has been dead for some time. Rather: what industry do you want to work in? W

People notify you that something didn't work? What a treat! For me the work just doesn't get done, and you have to ask why before you get an explanation that there is some technical blocker.

The tl;dr is multicollinearity is a big problem for interpreting models like this. Aka you have variables in the model that are highly correlated and because of this the model does not necessarily assign weights to the variables in a way th

It's most certainly done for interpretability reasons. A non-linear model would provide huge lift here. Another option could be to run a non-linear model off to the side and understand the most powerful interaction terms and incorporat

Honestly impressive depth into the model. I also liked that the page didn't really politicize the issue.

> My guess would be that this approach is papering over organizational dysfunction. So what? At large enough scale organization problems are harder than technical ones: if you can fix the former with the latter, that's still a win.

Yes, this perfectly maps to what's been released about the board's reasoning and why they wouldn't be able to pinpoint any specific lie. There wasn't one, in that he probably very carefully chooses his language such that

Yeah if I recall correctly there is support for the mouse and doing all the kinds of things you usually use mouse for in tiling wm setups.

It does force delays and your concerns are legitimate. All I will say is that in practice I've never actually noticed any kind of conflict or problem when the delay is on the order of 500ms.

One thing I really don't like about rectangle (and maybe MacOS in general) is that you can't easily multi-key hotkeys with regular keys. So for example CMD + Right Arrow + Up Arrow for upper-right tiling. This is simple/trivi

Have you heard of Phoenix [1]? It seems relatively unknown but I actually found it to work better than Yabai in some ways. The gist is that it basically simulates a tiling wm and virtual desktops by internally tracking state. This also mean

Disclaimer: I worked at Meta for a time (not in areas relevant to this lawsuit). My experience was that many people working there also have children, cared deeply about this issue, and wanted to find ways to solve it.

Seems like a pretty good idea. Why do you need to go over 100mph? Really no possible reason. Geo-located speed limits seem a bit iffy. Fine if they work correctly, but I can see it being pretty annoying if it isn't perfect. And it seem

FYI, nicotine poisoning is uncomfortable but if it happens to you, you can greatly reduce the effect by eating something sweet, the effects seem to be blood sugar dependent. Try a spoonful of honey or a can of coke, you will feel better alm

The problem with GPTs-as-products is that differentiation is almost impossibly opaque. How many “amazing prompts” have you tried from Twitter or Reddit only to find they cause the model to behave in slightly undesirable ways in certain scen

Dude I love how passionate you are about this project. I see you in every GPT thread. Despite all this tech there are so few projects out there trying to make large-repo code editing/generation possible.

I just recently did Google Takeout to duplicate my backup into iCloud and I found the EXIF data in the files to be 100% there, down to the GPS location and lens the photo was taken with. I've been wondering if the different experiences

Use OneDrive. Photo backup works in the most "dumb" possible manner, just by dumping every photo as a file into a big folder. And you can pretty seamlessly use it as file storage in lieu of iCloud. And it's absurdly cheap, yo

I use a triple strategy of Google Photos (for AI and editing), iCloud (for integration into Apple software), and OneDrive (cheap storage + stores everything as raw files). Occasionally I perform a Google Takeout and keep a hard copy on an e

That’s funny, because as someone who just switched from Android to iPhone i feel the opposite. Android nails some basics that iOS really misses on, like notification handling and gestures.

I recently converted to iPhone and one of my largest frustrations has been icloud. As people keep reminding me, it’s apparently a “sync” service rather than a “backup” service, which means that you cannot control the behavior of when things
