I have a friends group where everybody is hopping to this in the group chat. They are so eager to run from one addiction to another - and I told them so. They are so eager to give China all their data and to focus their own lives around an

I mean, I see why it happens. It's because the client uses the email as the identifier for login - it is the only shared identifier between Google and Slack (or whatever service) to connect accounts. Sure, you could argue that maybe th

Isn't it weird how universities are so hostile towards their students? Some professors are genuinely interested in developing students and are great, but many faculty and administrators - and the overall tone of the schools - are draco

Your thesis is way off, and people didn’t understand climate back when these areas were settled. And really, we still don’t know how to or can’t politically manage wildfires well. Part of climate change is that this man-induced change is ma

Are there any nations that have laws that require investigation before takedowns, or at least have financial punishment for issuing incorrect takedowns? Why don't we build a video hosting service served from there, if such a place exis

Diatomaceous earth is very messy and slow. A quick search tells me hotels usually do heat treatment. It requires a professional (or in house set up). I suspect they also wrap the mattresses by default, but I'm not sure that's stri

I do think there is some danger in writing anything publicly. Our next government could decide to jail you based on something you said. Society could decide that some widely held opinion you once had is now forbidden. Anything you write cou

I’m both surprised and not surprised. I’m surprised because these sort of problems with very clear prompts and fairly clear algorithmic requirements are exactly what I’d expect LLMs to perform best at. But I’m not surprised because I’ve see

At the bigcorp where I work, I don't see cover letters. Applications comes through some crappy platform, I just see resume files and autog-extracted versions of them. Might be worth putting a little summary / objective in the resu

Do you think the average H1B or other visa holder in STEM is among “the best”? I’m forced to hire non-American engineers (contractors) because my company is too cheap to pay for and commit to paying American workers full time for a couple o

What you’re saying just doesn’t jive with the experience devs have when applying for jobs. You hear horror stories about juniors applying for hundreds of jobs. They are absolutely qualified for entry level work - they have CS degrees. I hav

I can type at a rate faster than 10 bits/ second (about 2 characters / 16 bits! what a slow rate! I'm well above that, at least 24 bits/second!) and you aren't compressing that to less. And that's while also mo

I experience hundreds of bugs per week. Some in my own product. Most in others. Many are small and solved with a refresh. Most go unnoticed or are easily ignored.

Yes, they annexed that after the last war with Syria. Do you think the US is going to abandon the southwest US back to Mexican cartels, or the UK will abandon Wales, or any of these other countries will abandon territory they won in war lon

Why should every other group get autonomy but the Kurds? Turkey’s habit of ethnic cleansing isn’t a reason to deny the Kurds such a right.

Syria has been bombed far more by the US and Turkey than Israel, and a significant area is currently being occupied by Turkey. Israel is barely a player in this conflict and is just striking the occasional tactical or strategic target (like
