Makes sense. If you’re too specific early on, you miss everything that you didn’t expect. Much better to be open first, and then do the filtering afterwards, based on what you observe.

Government buying more fire trucks is a poor measure for increased incidence of actual fires. They might just be signaling, fall for marketing, and lots of other things. Governments are run by people, and they are as fallible as any rando o

Nice to see a B. F. Skinner reference here. The forgotten king of “making do”.

Same on X. It’s possible that the scammers just operate networks of credit cards and domains and rotate as soon as they grt flagged. Numbers game basically. But it’s also possible that the rules are applied differently to advertisers that b

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the exact reaction the NYT was going for with this article. (In marketing and propaganda, you first define what you want your reader to conclude. Then, you write a story that leads to that conclusion - th

Thanks for sharing. I often have this problem in Google Sheets. So far, i’ve resorted to copying the formula into Sublime Text and then splitting it into multiple lines. Your editor looks much more intuitive. As demo, it would be nice if on

So then, is it really the CO2 that produces the cognitive impairment, or is the CO2 here just the proxy value that we are measuring, and the real reason for the cognitive impairment is low oxygen?

If this hadn’t been published in 2015, you’d all call it AI slop: > When the German engineer Karl Benz invented the first petroleum-powered automobile, he did not just create an engine with wheels; he set in motion an industry that revol

Fet a Sòller. The guy is a German who noticed the same problem in the 90s and figured to use the surplus for making ice cream & marketing it to the Vitamin C starved people in Germany. Perhaps an artisanal single-origin soda could work?

You have Mr. Kraus making sorbet and selling that on the internet, don’t you? Though I guess he doesn’t come close to using up all of the supply… and his domain name is a bit more complicated than what Peter usually goes for. I can’t, to th

Sounds like a “bell curve meme” type of argument to me.: 50 IQ: War with Russia is stupid. 100 IQ: War with Russia! Everybody prepare! Lessons from history! Can’t negotiate with evil! 150 IQ: War with Russia is stupid. I'm on my phone

Not an apples to apples comparison. Vector search is only fast after you have built an index. The same is true for full text search. That too, will be blazing fast once you have built an index (like Google pre-transformer).

Wrong lesson from history. Go a bit further back. WW1. It’s easy to talk about “never appease an aggressor” when its someone else’s kid. Now it’s a story arch. Good vs evil. Entertainment! Like sports. You pick your team. But from the comfo

Haha. Well, you might be able to run flashcards in your Tesla. I once made an app to read books in a Tesla using text to speech. Gotta do something against the boredom once the thing drives itself! :)

A guess: They both believe the product people focus on will commoditize. Tesla realized early that EVs without autonomy are a dead end for long-term dominance, just as NVIDIA believes models without infrastructure are a dead end for durable

That sounds cool. Perfect hardware for the task. I’d love to see a video of it. I checked on youtube but didn’t find one. (I used to run flashcards on a Palm Pilot back in the days. The app was called SuperMemo.)
