I think part of the problem is that it's so difficult to actually measure productivity in software development.

I've found that it's much easier to eat healthy when I regularly do some form of cardio exercise at least every other day. After working out I naturally tend toward healthy foods, maybe because I don't want to undo all of th

I noticed the same thing. After consuming a soda a day for even just a few days I start to crave it. But if I stop drinking soda altogether, within a week the cravings go away, and I'm just as happy with water.

But it's not like Lyft would suddenly have 350 full time engineers developing new features. A large chunk of those engineers would be working on building and maintaining infrastructure that AWS provides.

I don't think so, since projection would be like taking the line between the center of the earth and the plane and finding where that intersects the surface of the earth. That doesn't depend on the trajectory of the earth through

I don't think the issue is controlled inflation. I think the fear is of rapid inflation caused by governments struggling to make interest payments, which could cause the value of any cash or bond positions you have to effectively go t

That's a really interesting thought experiment, and I don't really know what my answer is. The following choices assume that more people living an extra 30 years is a good thing ethically, and that there are no devastating effects

If you're using macOS, you'll need to do sed -i "" ... (put an empty string argument after the -i flag). If the second to last argument on the command line is -i, I think on the version of sed that ships with most dist

How did you go about learning to compose?

Could you elaborate on how you find it to be a hassle? I find it interesting that the imperfection of most people's memory could be a feature.

I didn't consider that; it's quite possible. Luckily the reaction is pretty mild.

From a nutritional standpoint, I agree that it would be unfortunate if people replaced healthy foods in their diet with the impossible burger. But I think part of your position is predicated on the idea that real meat (specifically ground

Does it have to be one or the other though? What's wrong with funding projects such as the impossible burger until lab-grown meat is economically viable? I feel like your position is analogous to saying, "I think it's better

I always get this wheezy feeling like a little bit of fluid is building up in my lungs after I eat the impossible burger. I don't know what causes it; the only thing I can think of is maybe the unusually high iron content (at least co

What kind of foam did you use? Did you have any offgassing issues initially?

It probably depends on what you make. Nuts and store-bought seitan are indeed quite expensive, but lentils and legumes are quite cheap. Where I live (major US city), tofu is only $1 a pack.

I think that humans in the past have undoubtedly had to eat meat to survive, as do many wild animals, but now that most humans no longer need meat, there's no reason to inflict suffering on other animals.

With the vacuum technique, I imagine you would have to think more carefully about the containers you use (e.g. lids would probably pop off tupperware-style containers).

Also potentially concerning is that whenever the PoW algorithm changes, Obelisk will have a head start, since they're run by the people deciding what the PoW algorithm will be.

If the book crew is better, I'd hate to see what the crew on the show is like. I've only read Leviathan Wakes so far, but I found most of the characters to be really flat. I think the book suffers from the same issue as many oth

Beyond how the machine works, I'm wondering how he designed the patterns.

I think the primary advantage of using this is that you get both the usability of writing imperative code (like PyTorch or TF Eager) and the benefits of having a computation graph (easier distributed training, using TPUs and stuff).

Ethereum isn't inherently better as a currency. It still has the same scaling limits as bitcoin, just lower utilization at this point.

How would you characterize the abilities of transfer learning? Not disagreeing, simply curious.
