we live in an age where manufacturing of any kind, software, ai rule the world, and EUs output there is shrinking. I think that in current day and age EU feels entitled to disproportionately higher standards of living to its output. And giv

I mentioned software, but didn’t said that I specifically focus on it. Asml, arm, novo - neither of them are software companies. From what I’ve seen asml wouldn’t work without zeiss, another European company. This still doesn’t invalidate m

This is the weirdest section, and is just unnecessary virtue signaling. Women don’t buy their real size because it makes them feel bad -> market pressures companies to address that by doing vanity sizing -> brands bad I cannot compre

You feel my pain :) Honestly, right now I probably wouldn’t even try to code complex algorithm of book matching but fed all of books metadata, including book covers etc to llm and it would do better than what we had. Our algorithm had tons

Unfortunately, for isbns even if you know how the key works in theory and should be used by standard, reality will break you very soon. It’s quite loose. At least it was 10 years ago when I worked in the area of book catalogs matching, per

Quick search shows elo of stockfish 6=3278 (1 cpu). To assume that a human can beat that is just delusional.

Ohh, every geo join/spatial thing with picture that consists of those small cells over map is such pet peeve of mine. Facebook marketplace, craigslist, tinder, any app with “proximity search”. No, this city isn’t 4 miles from my city.

Yeah. For 20+ years, for many, the source of truth was like first google result (especially if it supported their opinion). And let’s face it, with reproducibility crisis, the books aren’t sacred too. Their authors are also people, who also

Reading a book is an investment, and progressively larger and larger amount of books are not worth it, and, looking back, were never worth it. For example, Look how the sentiment has changed about Malcolm Gladwell books. They were very popu
