It's not just that there are low performers, but that systems aren't always built to send them to do something else quickly. When my mom need her second urgent brain surgery, one of the nurses, a friend of a friend, warned us that

It is a very typical problem in the US, but it's not really the only issue. Go look at Spain, a country that has, historically, had little issue building housing: Very dense housing too by most standards. After you liberalize housing,

Agricultural land is far from large population centers, so the value is relatively constrained. The real losers on an LVT is not those owning rural land, but the operators of a surface lot near a stadium, or people living in mansions in the

I've worked in many an ag company: All the ideas Sensei supposedly has are in in way innovative: places like Monsanto/Bayer had been trying to do work in those directions a decade ago, and it's not as if they were short of pe

Having an extreme regulatory posture, which is then lifted for friends and family, is typical in developing countries. The barriers make it so that your friends' companies do not get significant competition.

Spain's multi-story buildings are often independently owned anyway: the "law of horizontal property", dealing with condominiums, is there to mostly deal with shared disputes among owners. Buildings where the ground floor is

An overlooked part of Spain's problem is that investing in having a very big apartment is a much better savings vehicle than investing in stock markets. The equivalent of an American 401k has a very small contribution limit, and wealth

Depends on where you are. My experience in American airports is almost all apps, but Spain's Iberia, for example, is basically all paper, typically printed by the airline and not even someone at home. So for them, minimal changes over

And it might make sense, if the way youtube stores the video is more efficient. Ultimately live streaming/simulcasting are different that cold video. See how Netflix, having no problems doing efficient movie serving, doesn't do qu

Yep, you'd be surprised by how many turn downright violent when unmedicated. Sometimes the violence is a big part of the reason why the family ended up having to send them to a nursing home.

This is part of why Java performance is far better than it should, if we just consider the overhead of the JVM and the garbage collection. You get profiles for free, and that covers many sins. This is how sometimes we end up with companies

Maybe fundamentally is an extremely load bearing word here, but just in the hardware itself we see far more abstraction than we saw in the 60s. The difference between what we called microcode in an 8086 and what is running in any processor

If you spend any time driving in a vacation to Spain, something went wrong. I spend 6 weeks there last summer. I never drove, and our only cab was to the airport

It comes down to what the extra flops get you nowadays. Just like a videogame from 5 years ago doesn't look very dated anymore, we need massive processing power gains to notice anything, and even then, for very few uses.

We don't even need to be all that close to death for this, just suffer sufficient brain damage. I have a family member that had enough mini strokes that, whenever they have something like an urinary infection, they disassociate from re

I agree with the prices, but you say you have a 3080, which has a higher max power draw than the 5080 or 4080. Power requirements actually went down

Having spent quite a bit of time around a couple of those groups, I find most of those degree requirements and certifications as just ways to increase salaries, more than ways to increase quality. Many people pass state bars and are incompe

This makes perfect sense when you consider who is making the decisions. If you are trying to, say, replace an ad-buying team with an AI that supposedly does the job better, your goal has to be to sell it at a high enough level that the poli

The current implementations of LLMs are focusing on providing good answers, but the real effort of modern day programming is to ask good questions, of both the system, the data, and the people that supposedly understand the requirements LLM

The data breach Disney had last year is reported to be caused by downloading a malicious mod in a work computer, which then fetched the Slack credentials and downloaded everything available. Many a cryptocurrency wallet is emptied out with

There's candidates running speech-to-text that avoid the noticeable delays, but it's still possible to do the right kind of digging the AI will almost always refuse to do, because it's way too polite. It's as if we were

There's more than one possible AI on the other end, so crafting something that will not annoy a typical candidate, but will lead every AI astray seems pretty difficult.

Some can be quite good at the cheating: At least good enough to get through multiple layers. I've been in hiring meetings where I was the only one of 4 rounds that caught the cheating, and they were even cheating in behaviorals. I&#x27

The difficulty of your questions have to change drastically if they are using good tooling. Many a problem that would take a reasonable candidate half an hour to figure out is 'free' for Claude, so your question might not show any

Did it? What I see instead is total mistrust of the open resume pool, because the percentage of outright lies, from resume to behavioral to everything else is just that high. So I see companies raise their hands and going back to maximum pr

There's another way around it. People that see themselves as "freethinkers" are also ultimately contrarians. Taking contrarianism as part of your identity makes people value unconventional ideas, but turn that around: It also

Have you ever had to give a demo that no meeting attendee actually cared about, just because management demanded it? Standup meetings with 20 people where maybe 2 people cared about? The future might involve AI updates, summarized by AI int

The tools don't collect data, but without the tool, the data is almost useless, as it takes a lot of effort to get anywhere. If I had to choose to be surveilled 24/7, but my data stuck, unlabeled in there, or 20% of my actions ran

The integration also leads ro low prices though: A bug trinitron used to be $1500-$2000. Today you can get a 4k TV that is twice as big, much cheaper to run, and beats the 1080i that the largest tubes could support 20 years ago. The lower u

If the automation is much better at the task than I am, then I am happy to donate it the responsibility: It's a matter of accuracy. Clippy kind of sucked even when he was right about what I was trying to do. For many things, the LLMs a
