Actually, yes. The conventional wisdom these days is to do everything in React (or something similarly bloated). Because, you know, users just love seeing a bunch of grey boxes shimmer and dance on a white background for several seconds be

The logic here is exceedingly tenuous: "Hmm, you know maybe, just just they might have done it this way. Therefore they did. Plus it got tweeted by a widely respected shill for RT who thinks the Ukrainians bombed their own theater i

Something has to give, and if history is any guide, it won't be the Russians. What on earth are you talking about? Russia has yielded a whole bunch of times of course, going way back to the Crimean War - often to countries much small

"PRO SAPPER AND EOD EQUIPMENT [CONTRACTING SQUADRON] UKRAINE" So that's your smoking gun? A random DoD contract to a country with tons of perfectly legitimate needs for this kind stuff (recall much of the Black Sea coast

This is exactly what I'm talking about: Anything less than a confirmed Yes vote (perhaps with caveats, but ultimately: a Yes vote) to whatever the developer proposes is, in the YIMBYist book, equivalent to the objections of that lady i

That new housing is "snake development projects", It's not snake oil because it's new. But because of the blatant lies (and occasionally more subtle distortions) in the developer's project proposal, staring every

And YIMBYs are gonna YIMBY. I just wish they would change their acronym to the more accurate YIYBY -- for your backyard . Which is where they want all this glitzy new stuff (with dubious benefits most of the time; and aesthetic qualities

Fun chart. Let's take your math up a notch, shall we? Because you know - the share of taxes paid also has a distribution within the upper 50 percent. Using that fun table you posted, let's see how 100b splits across the follow

I absolutely did not say I knew a specific date . Only that the goal itself is easily quantifiable. And no, just because one doesn't know the end date (or even a range) doesn't put a conflict in the "forever" category.

Yup, something to do with that line on the map. The one that never applied to Afghanistan. I definitely concur about non-measurable metrics. But the metrics in Ukraine are very specific and absolutely measurable. Essentially the exact op

There really is no end game. And elsewhere: What is the stop? No one can really say. This seems like a strange thing to say, given this war has a very clear and obvious metric (apart from people or materiel). Which has been, since aft

Well obviously (or so I thought) was referring to how it's modeled (with the crazy codes and all) based on the way the system currently is -- not on how the system "should be". The comment I was responding to just seemed to

Seems you got it reversed - it's the expert which performs sub-par on 6 rounds, while doing better on 12. While missing also the part about when it outperforms, it does so "at a significantly wider margin (2x-3x)". Which is

Thanks, I confess to skimming and missed the individual 'expert' column (presumably the mean of the individual expert scores). That said -- it looks like not only does model+ do worse than experts on the other 12/18 (not 11&#

On par with "experts", no. Per the article: "outperformed the most skilled crowdworkers" on nuanced (but not highly technical) tasks like sentiment labeling. By definition, it can't outperform the expert ensemble be

Russia is not pulling mothballed T-34s, they don’t have them aside from museum exhibits. Right - people need to get their model numbers straight. What they're pulling up are mothballed T-54/55s, a.k.a. "mammoth poo":

Indeed - there are plenty of obvious pragmatic reasons for Europe's not wanting to have to put up with a recidivist bully on its doorstep, long-term. On top of the stench of all the bodies in Bucha, Mariupol, etc. It's not like i

Is there some hyper critical mineral they have that no one else has? Actually the main concern in Ukraine is stopping the mass murder, rape and torture of civilians. Bet you didn't think of that.

Same here, I can blame the liars in Kyiv government for pretending to be interested in implementing Minsk II but really never doing it, because they used it to "buy time" for this war. You can "blame" them all you wan

This stream of consciousness like state where it spits out incoherent and often offensive or religious output. In which it reveals for us its true id. Very creepy indeed.

Do you support bringing violence to Crimea, just so Ukraine can own it again? Let's just say that's up to the mafia-like entities that currently run the peninsula. What is clear at this point -- is that under no circumstances ca

Interesting seeing job postings wanting 5+ years of LLM experience. Since they're probably using ChatGPT to generate these job reqs - this is only to be expected.

Not that this would justify it, but I'm curious if it even works. Like most other things companies do in the hiring process (e.g. endless redundant interviewing rounds, ridiculous culture fit questions) -- or the stuff they do in the
