Have you ever read your employment contracts? I've never worked somewhere that would allow something like this to be shared so soon after departure.

I've never worked somewhere that didn't have me sign some kind of broad NDA-esque clause saying I wouldn't share proprietary or non-public info for a certain period after release (imo, completely reasonably). This blog post i

Komorebi works pretty well. In the end, I felt like it's limitations were mostly at the OS level rather than the fault of the software itself (similar to tiling WM on MacOs). I think for such a thing to really work, virtual desktops ne

FYI, all your links 404 except 2001 and 2011 due to length. Seems like maybe you compiled them in another editor (that maybe had markdown or link support and cropped the full link text with ellipses) and then the raw copy/paste here di

Yeah, obviously the situation here is that by the letter of the law, you can't have electronics/batteries in the cargo hold. But it's not like they're starting up an Airtags Gestapo to search every bag and throw people i

Talk about a buried lede, I can't believe that they allow caught cheaters to simply reset in rankings and never publicly name them. Can you imagine any other sport operating that way?

There's nothing theoretically impossible about the suggestion, giving it a shot would be doable today if someone with resources really wanted to. I'm sure people at Neuralink or similar companies talk about stuff like this all the

Not to pick on your quick example, but actually testing it, these two terms [1] [2] have nearly identical results. Top result in both cases is history.com, followed by wikipedia, and the next 4-6 results are the same but in slightly differe

Very interesting how intuitive the need for credit agencies is when presented this way. They get a lot of (justifiable) hate today, but in a low/slow information world, it makes complete sense for there to be value in someone aggregati

I don't think I agree with the framing that the situation is some kind of scheme by executives to underpay people. All jobs have compensation, status, quality of life, "passion" components, etc. If someone wants to take a job

Yeah as the other commenter notes, book discovery is a difficult problem that hasn't shared in the gains made in algorithmic recommendation for other forms of media. If you think about it makes a lot of sense...literature has high cost

Thanks for the perspective. While I was in the industry, being on the tech side felt like it insulated me from a lot of the drama of the editorial world. I would share your sentiments about money being secondary for them, you would meet peo

I worked in publishing for a short while on the tech side of things and had this same question. It turns out print is very similar to other forms of media, in that it's power law distributed, possibly even more extreme than video or au

Great blog post, appreciate the level of detail on the results and metrics looked at. Would be very curious to see how genre impacts things and if age groups remain stratified (or become more stratified?) controlling for it.

Thanks for the tip on a holy grail cable. I have a few just like that but am always annoyed at their max 60W PD and USB 2.0 speeds. Still, the adapters are configured the same and it's totally worth it to be able to always connect anyt

Very true. It's kind of a lesser evils situation as to where you want to put the complexity. Personally I'd feel more comfortable putting it in Excel than a traditional programming language, for the above reasons. But there are si

I don't think that's quite fair. You run into that sort of problem with traditional software solutions as well, except sometimes even worse because business logic is deep in some esoteric codebase/language with all sorts of u

I don't think either one is false. To me, 2 looks false if you consider the "system" in question to be the entire glass of water. But my interpretation is that in this case the glass of water is really many very small systems

Just to be clear, we are both talking about vaporizer cartridges designed to use batteries with 510 connections right? The kind you vaporize and inhale, not something designed as a food additive? They look like this [1]? The oil you see in

I don't understand your point. I'm aware of the various weights to gram conversions, that's how I went from a .1g dose to (28*10=) 280 doses for an oz. You realize that dry flower is not at all equivalent to that weight in oi

As someone who has tried a million varieties of both craft beer and weed, and honestly prefers the latter, there is so much more variability with beer it's not even a contest. I used to have a joke I would make with dealers back when w

I used to smoke regular weed but in recent years have totally converted over to using vape cartridges. The benefits are too great: - No odor. - More consistent dosing. - More control over the exact CBD:THC ratio. - Lower cost per dose. - Le

My point is that the external behavior is remarkable and breathtaking even if it doesn't show any actual "sentience" by scientific standards. The complexity of the replies show that large language models are not playing word
