I recognize the forum post as being Salesforce Chatter. So it is one of those Experience Cloud sites.

In case anyone is confused (since the link goes to a 404 page now), the link appeared to go to a product listing of a dresser but the name of the product was the name of this posting, “I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request…”

It is a kind of cryogenic technology where the person is “half-alive”. But still I guess the book itself does have magical elements in it such as psychic powers.

There’s also Ubik by Philip K. Dick where the recently deceased are able to communicate with the living AND aside from that also advertise a product.

This reminds me of when I took an Intro to Programming with C++ course at a community college almost 10 years ago. There weren’t any basic computer usage prerequisites for this course. So I guess I shouldn’t have been so surprised that at l

I appreciate your comment because I have thought a lot about chess cheaters who make all of their moves at the recommendation of a chess engine. When playing against them, you really don’t have a chance to win unless you’re playing on a fas

I think they swung quickly because maybe aside from some families using them for communication in case of an emergency, the phones just became more of a liability to take away from a student. I haven’t been in classrooms recently, but I can

Very fascinating read. Reminds me of a recording of a stream I was listening to recently where the person talks about the idea of death being given in a deal to biological life.

It does seem morally gray, but I was just amazed by how one of those workers makes better money than in his last job as a web developer in the Philippines.

I’m so confused by this article’s comparison of GPT-4 to a powerful Go or chess engine. First, is coding some sort of competition like Go or chess? I have heard of competitive programming or code golf, but have little clue how that compares

What does RAG mean? I’m interested because I have tried to play a chess game purely through chat and my experience is that GPT 3 always forgets what is happening in the game and wants to make illegal moves. I guess if there was a format (ma

Before I read this article, the headline reminded about how some children are considered “old souls”. I might be wrong about this, but it almost seems to me like all smartphone users have this tension between using it to mindlessly consume

That headline is so titillating. When you actually read the article it’s just pretty straightforward about how you can designate certain people who don’t have a Tinder account and for 24 hours they can see some of your matches and mark them

This post really reminds me of Keahi Seymour. I forget where I first learned of him, but it may have been an HN post because he was the subject of an article about pursuing a dream for 30 years and failing. But basically, the story is that

I have been working at a nonprofit and have only recently started using this for cleaning up Excel or CSV files that we want to import. I am not as familiar with doing this with code, but I love that this tool gives me the steps I have take

They meant “professional-managerial class” which might be a political or social science term.

Thanks, I really find these examples useful. For me, the QUERY function in Google Sheets has been really useful too. Same thing with IMPORTRANGE. It really helps with documenting what you did to get a count of rows.

A week or so ago there was news about a research article[1] about greenhouse gases and how in the USA, the top 10% of households by earnings can be linked to a much higher carbon footprint. The headlines mentioned that 40 percent of USA’s G

Something about this reminds me of the idea of lists of reputable or renowned books in fields of study. For example, the “Chicago undergraduate mathematics bibliography” which gives some useful titles, but then also has an entry for the “wo

What would you say makes San Francisco particularly difficult to find a suitable romantic partner for you if you don’t mind answering? I am curious to hear what you think because I have also heard the same thing about SF and even about Aust

I don’t disagree, but I think part of it is whether the wife and/or kids are able to spend enough time with their husband/father.

May I ask for further advice on your fourth bullet point about “outsourcing your mental health”? I understand you might need to shop around like you maybe go to a cognitive-behavioral therapist, or psychoanalyst, or buy a Transcendental Med

I think Joel was inspired by this series. One of the videos on that playlist you shared appears in this Trello board[1] that Joel was referring to during the talk. [1]: https://trello.com/b/HGITnpih/you-suck-at-exc

I adore this video. I wish there was a version of a talk like this but for Google Sheets, or at least comparison of Excel and Google Sheets features as of 2023. I saw an article[1] that tries to replicate the cool automatic data-table featu

I’ve wondered the same thing too. I don’t really keep up to date on political stuff, but I get the feeling that there is a history that links libertarianism, the tech sector, transhumanism, and occultism. I had seen stuff about how Peter Th

Is it possible for the US to take on bigger and bigger debt because it has a huge national defense budget? I have often heard that household/consumer debt cannot and should not be treated the same way as the debt a government holds. Bu

I never realized that those vehicles get 8 mpg, but it makes sense because they are always making stops and possibly turning off and on again.

What really tickles me about this “X Considered Harmful” title is that in its first famous appearance, it was an editor who rewrote the title of Dijkstra’s letter which was something like “A case against the Go To statement.” So in that ori

It’s kind of a slippery slope argument, but benefits in agriculture or other very helpful technology is a lot different compared to applications like making your floss easier to glide between teeth or your coat repel water.

That actually sounds pretty fast. Not to be a downer or anything, but I have a nagging feeling that maybe they will stop making PFAS but the replacement will be a very similar, substitute compound that may or may not have the same effects.
