Given that screens are always adding their own light, it’s impossible for a screen to ever be equally bright as a piece of paper next to it. The screen will always be brighter.

Grindr was forcibly divested, so yes, it has happened

What you said seems contradictory. You open with the premise that intelligent youth go the finance / CS / MBA path instead of engineering and then say that those who do go into traditional engineering can’t find jobs. Couldn’t it

It's not typically considered, but it matters when comparing against an economy that primarily manufactures goods.

I assert this without evidence, but I would highly suspect club attendance numbers and rave attendance numbers to be strongly correlated.

Milk actually has a ridiculous amount of sugar. 11g per cup! That makes it hard to drink if you're trying to cut back on sugar.

Why is it that only "doing nice things" or "volunteering your time" makes you a good person? Does a traffic engineer not better the lives of others? What about a farmer? Where does the food served in a soup kitchen come

Not that you'd buy organic pasta on a tight budget, but organic wheat products are not fortified, at least in the U.S. Just FYI to anyone wanting to exclusively eat pasta.

The one use case I’ve found LLMs excel at is using a new library. Even if it gets a lot of the API wrong, figuring out most of the setup / boilerplate is useful.

You’d rather ride a train for 20 hours instead of a 2 hour flight?

I think I misunderstood your point. It sounded like you were arguing against telling the scout group prior to the conviction, because they were innocent until proven guilty. But from your follow up, it sounds like you agree with telling the

Were they convicted? It seems irresponsible to let someone strongly suspected of harming children to continue to have close contact with children. “Innocent until proven guilty” is a criminal justice concept. It actually doesn’t apply to ci

They don’t always have the audio stream, e.g. when someone is using an audio receiver.

I know someone who worked on smart TV software. They explicitly added audio fingerprinting via integrated microphone so they could determine which programs you were watching for ad profiling. When in the history of online ads have advertise

I feel like we're talking about semantics here. You must posses drugs before / while actively using, and heavy addicts use multiple times a day.

I'm in NY. Possession of a controlled substance is a class A misdemeanor here[0], which can carry a maximum prison sentence of 1 year. 0: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/220.03

Since this hasn't gotten much attention, I just wanted to say that I think this is a cool project. Nice work!

I agree with the sentiment that great APIs are a prerequisite to great SDKs, but great SDKs are really about time saving. Consider AWS's API, which requires a specific signing mechanism. That is annoying to implement manually. In gener

Not OP, but > What is that based on? This is based on the fact that we have finite resources. Any resources that go to housing drug addicts could have been used for something else. There is a real opportunity cost there. > Also, why a

I'm not asking you to do research, I'm asking you to look up definitions you don't understand. There's a difference.

I'd recommend a quick Google search for "types of homelessness" or "chronic homelessness" before proffering any personal attacks.

by in-pursuit 2y ago
There are really two distinct homelessness problems: 1. The “temporarily unhoused”. These are people who have fallen on hard times and need temporary assistance to get back on their feet. These people live out of their cars and are largely

Would you rather be scammed or stabbed? According to you, you should be indifferent. Personally, I’d prefer to be scammed.

by in-pursuit 2y ago
No, your argument is basically “all bad things are equivalent to knife attacks.” Look, I’m not saying deception and scamming are “ok”, I’m just saying comparing them to knife attacks is stupid.
26.
by in-pursuit 2y ago
There’s obviously a huge difference between a scam and a violent attack. The person being scammed doesn’t ever lose their agency and willingly participates. That’s very different from a knife attack, where the victim would leave at every mo

Binary addition is O(n)

by in-pursuit 2y ago
The issue isn’t performing the specific addition. Rather, you’re asking o1 to take n-bits of data and combine them according to some set of rules. Isn’t that what these models are supposed to excel at, following instructions? Binary additio

Can this “expert in math” do binary addition? o1 falls apart after 10 bits, which is easily memorizable.

Nothing is free means that the daycare provided by a company isn’t free. It costs the company money and can be considered part of your compensation. It’s almost certainly more efficient and more desirable for the company to give you money t
