This problem isn't just cars. I've had 2 washers fail in the last couple of years, each time the main logic board. The proplem is (mainly) the electronics, or more precisely, highly integrated, highly proprietary parts. When they

I think your phrasing is wrong, 'growth mindset' is the idea that you can improve yourself with effort, education, etc, instead of just 'I'm inherently bad at maths' or whatever. What you are referring to is simply

A housing 'market' just makes no sense. It's all the downsides of a market, with speculation, supply/demand-strikes, etc, etc, but then it's not actually a 'market' in the sense that new supply cannot be s

Are people actually paying for this as AI, or is it basically fraud at this point, ie people are paying for the girl, assuming she's real.

Yes I hate the proliferation too - these pressure/multicookers must have a temperature sensor, and so all the program needs to do is switch to a 'warm mode' when the temperature exceeds 102-3C, ie that's when all the wat

Do electric pressure cookers cook rice? I mean do they switch off/warm mode correctly when the rice dries up, like a rice cooker, or do you have to time it?

RIght, this is just way too much information and detail, and seems designed to look good in front of management rather than to inform team-mates, who presumably know a lot of the details anyway.

But useful work on who's behalf and for what 'use'?

Why have plural at all. All rest urls except index, which is easily discernible because it has no id, make more sense in the singular: get /ticket/12 patch /ticket/12 put /ticket The problem is not humans

"Rule #1: DO use plural nouns for collections" I disagree, as you then have to deal with English pluralization rules to match single objects and collections. Also database tables should just be singular, things like 'country.

Quite right about being a 'system'. Society is made of systems, and therefore the kind of systems we allow to exist dictate how we live.

"example of what Prof. Stuart Russell calls 'the problem of control'. This is when a rogue AI (or a rogue Sam Altman)" Are we sure they're not intimately connected? If there's a GPT-5 (I'm quite sure ther

I think this is a bit harsh, as a good leader is obviously of some value, but the real prize is obviously the researchers themselves, including Suskever. I guess then that Altman's value is that he will attract the rest of the team.

IMHO replit is great for spinning up a dev configuration and doing some prototyping. It's also really good for teaching, and for sharing live-coded snipets and so on. I have no idea about using it for actual production coding, and depl

I always found regular incandescents slightly dingy, halogen bulbs have a much richer light. Look for high-CRI leds with a colour temperature around 4000K . The 5/6k are quite glaring and cold, the 3k emulate the dingy yellows of low&#

o/s is where you share your designs freely, not just rip others off. China copies everything and everyone else, but then still tries to keep it's own secrets.

Indeed, actually owning land rather than leasing perhaps should not be a right of private entities at all. But a place to live is obviously a requirement of existence, and therefore must be a right. As for 'own money' etc, it isn&

I was nodding along, until the author presented mIRC as an example of what should be. Maybe if you grew up with this app, it's efficient or whatever. But at a glance, I have no clue at all what any of those icons do. It's just a c

What about people who can't afford to buy? Their taxes subsidize those who can. Ultimately, land itself is like air and water, it is a birth-right.

Honestly I'm not sure these are strategies for dealing with ADHD, rather than just strategies for dealing with modern work and life. Or maybe I have ADHD too.
