"it's smarter than me?" You don't have to correct it dozens of times a day!? Really?

I don't think those count as "moderate to vigorous" exercise, at least for most of the time you're doing any of them.

Classic of course. The point being: don't make fun of people for not knowing something. In this thread we're making fun of learned helplessness.

It's kind of amusing that you're asking for acronyms you don't know not to be used and acronyms you do know to not be spelled out.

Is 30 years old very new? We're on a site for tech people. I would wager most are familiar with this term.

I don't disagree. It's just a weird way to describe them currently when they just announced massively increasing limits.

Very impressive, simple, and reliable. I'm sure it will be picked up by image generation labs soon.

Nostalgia, not an answer: my proudest moment from high school was coding a very primitive raycasting "engine" in VB6 (that's what we had in our programming class). I had no idea what I was doing and I used some sort of layout

Totally. Stopping at a specific time is a good rule of thumb, but you can obviously compensate for one half life by just consuming twice as much at the start. And the surprising thing too for me: how low the threshold is where it can impact

Neat idea. Who is the audience? How often do you think a piece of evidence comes across, significant and noteworthy enough, for the average person? Is that happening daily or close to it?

I've been struggling with poor sleep for months. The 3am wake ups (can't fall back asleep) are really bad. I figured it couldn't be coffee because I fall asleep easily. But it turns out that lingering caffeine can let you fal

You could look at 16% as roughly equivalent to a dice roll (1 in 6) or, you know, the odds you lose a round of Russian roulette. That's my charitable interpretation at least. Otherwise it does sound silly.

There's a difference of $24 but I have $1200 in cash reserves. And I make up the difference later. Oh no! Guess I have to lay off 10% of my employees now.

I can see why it would affect startups not making a profit but why would it dramatically affect FAANG (e.g. some of the most profitable companies in the world that have been running for decades)? The article contributes all these large layo

There were smartphones before the iPhone. One could also describe the difference as "just a touchscreen".

Fair enough, but I don't think you realize how the original comment comes off. There's a lot of wiggle room in the terms "interested", "engineering", and "unremarkable", but the way I take it is: if o

My experience working at one of the companies that gets accused of this a lot is that many colleagues wish we were as evil as claimed because it would be so much easier do their jobs that way than struggling through the reality of it whic

What people experienced during a trivial, 1 hour study doesn't really compare to regret over decades of someones life.
