I feel quite the opposite, I feel like our behavior is definitely optimized based on evolution and societal pressures. How is human psychological evolution not adhering to some set of fitness functions that are some approximation of the bes

I think the immediately troubling aspect and perhaps philosophical perspective is that warmth and empathy don't immediately strike me as traits that are counter to correctness. As a human I don't think telling someone to be more e

I would argue having the parameters that change during the loop be explicit is a very nice advantage. Agree that the things can be equivalent in terms of execution but the readability and explicitness, and the fact that all the parameters a

Agree, there seems to be a lot of skepticism. Maybe this is a cop-out but most people probably don't even need some perfectly implemented rate limiter and having a basic, efficient, easy solution that solves most of the problem isn&#x2

This is a snappy (perhaps too snappy at the expense of quality) open source mobile app for iPhones called Cactus Chat: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cactus-chat/id6744444212

I would like to say I did a massive refactoring on a legacy project only to make separation of concerns by making a DB access layer with multiple backends just so I could test it. I wrote not even a single line of code. It did a fantastic j

Sometimes you can just smell it when companies are bad. I went into an interview at a company that they were trying to escape out if SAP hell and the two founders weren't anywhere to be seen. The kitchen looked sad. I told myself I&#x2

Case-in-point, you are mistaken. The duration of a day changes due to many things, both logically and also physically due to the nature of Earth. Also just because you can call a second a second doesn't mean that is helpful making date

Maybe similar to how they caught Al Capone: tax evasion. Clearly they wouldn't be paying taxes.

Won't it be funny when someone finally gets to AGI and they realize it's about as smart as a normal person and they spent billions getting there? Of course you can speculate that it could improve. But what if something inherent in

I was in the same boat about sipping rum not being very interesting until I found Zacapa Guatemalan rum. It's relatively common and reasonably priced and very delicious coming from someone who likes whiskey neat and also many cocktails

Can you be more explicit? Is it because they are optimizing too much to a single platform that isn't generalizable to other compilers or architectures? What's your specific gripe?

I don't think this is true. There was the whole fiasco around the EULA canary that a company had that, if it was removed, was supposed to indicate that the company had received a gag order. I don't believe it had been actually tes

I am firmly a believer very few people read anything. They don't read long things as much as they don't even read short ones. One of the things I always thought was funny was having Product Managers see there were problems with UI

Someone should add a sensor to all those diabetes sensors people have in their arms all day and collect general info. It would obviously bias towards diabetics but that's like half the US population anyways so maybe it wouldn't ma

Google search results "sucking" probably is an indication that they are squeezing money out of it well. Just because you don't like the results you are getting doesn't mean the average user isn't still using Google

I thought the big difference between the GPU and ANE was that you couldn't use the ANE to train. Does the GPU actually perform faster during inference as well? Is that because the ANE are designed more for efficiency or is there anothe

Sounds like if you have a record of a lot of location/timestamp data for people, you look at the distance difference divided by the time difference. Now you have average speed for any pair of points. Now filter where the average speed

13% less battery time is pretty wild just from updating the screen once per second but interesting to understand why.

I think the charm for a cloudy place like Scotland is that a system like this is unaffected by poor light supply. Your photovoltaics aren't going to fair nearly so well there hence this solution.

Stuff like this is pretty horrifying and sad after we are deregulating the FDA as we speak so this stuff will be harder to catch and also as we are killing all the science research to help fix this poor soul's eyes after the damage was

Screwing the other side is far easier to sell than having things be good for the average person. Some pretty gross displays of greed and hypocrisy.
