Prompt framing? Prompt optimization?

Is “imprecision” that the previous commenter is reacting to maybe more specifically the strong potential for nondeterministic behavior exhibited by LLMs? That would seem to stretch the practical experience of programming vs. “lower-level” t

Seems like a startup niche - a more idealized Uber for electricians - abstract the worst parts, help tradespeople keep more of the money their work produces.

A very astute and true point -- however, their unique position and role make HR employees fall into a category I'd argue should be held to a higher standard, precisely because of their outsized potential for impact on the organization.

“Bricked” has a pretty generally accepted meaning as non-responsive/completely non operational — it does not mean reduced functionality or incompatible with modern operating systems. By abusing the term, you’re being disingenuous rathe

Your car is also using metrics to keep you safe, maybe even alive at many moments. Active stability control and ABS are massively data-driven and essential parts of modern driving safety and are always on. I think there’s also an issue of l

Respectfully I disagree and science seems to be supporting that point of view as well. But, even if you call it a cultural issue, it is still a health issue. It causes billions in additional care, shortens lifespans, is a risk factor for ma

And, tbh, wtf does it matter if I wanted to "cheat" in single player mode? Oh no - it would be unfair to some AI NPCs? At one point "cheating" in single player mode was called modding -- and it drove communities and ma

I feel as though the list of companies that consistently care for users is shrinking by the day. In fact, I can't really think of many businesses where I feel appreciated or cared for as a customer, but the few that I can are all small

So, pragmatically, we can’t not use our dishwasher - time is just not available given some other constraints. Given that, do you have any suggestions from your reading about less harmful detergent replacements?

With the inhabitants who are already there, of course. Your contention is that intelligent life wouldn’t travel long distances without the intent of colonization. Human history sort of argues against that to a point. Europeans were trading

IAP ruins basically every app it touches, with the exceptions of the sort of functionality you mention. This goes far beyond games. I’m sure others have said it better but I miss the days of simple freemium models. IMHO, Paid upgrades are b

First - there’s plenty of evidence of intercontinental trade prior to colonization/ migration in Humanity’s past. Second, you have a very anthropomorphic perspective built in to your thinking. What if they had lifespans measured in cen

My understanding was that it’s always been about the physical size and the impact it has on the stack-up of iPhone components. Looking at a standard mini-jack vs. my iPhone 13, the connector itself is close to 40% of the thickness of the ph

A number of reasons come to mind: 1. Not doing anything in the face of “evidence” is ripe for malpractice lawsuits, rightly or wrongly 2. Not doing anything in the face of “evidence” can drive anxiety for patients and many clinicians want t

I mean, pedantically, you’re correct but you’re missing a very substantive point - we regularly deal with metrics which are rates (or vectors) of change. Velocity is change in distance over time, for example - what Netflix had is a reversal

Yeah - I learned the hard way a while back when someone in our household misplaced another key… and found it right after we’d replaced it/paid all that.

Emails should be confirmed before being used for ongoing communication. Simple as that. It’s easier to get right up front than it is to clutter and confuse in the cases already illustrated.

Couldn’t that potentially be explained by the lag between infection and symptoms with many people being asymptomatic early on while still shedding virus at significant levels? If that’s theory is true, we should see many more tests and iden

Indeed - inflation is an aggregate measure and it definitely doesn’t apply equally across all individuals, in terms of impact. Recognizing my own privilege here, for me, for example, many of my expenses are fixed: student loans and mortgage

I feel like you sorta added evidence to the idea that it is a broader movement. It’s not that everyone is just saying “I quit” - but those in bad jobs/bad teams/working for low wages are the ones supposedly making moves and I thin
