To be fair, probably everyone who "touches these things" had extensive graduate work on the topic, or put in a lot of long years toiling away at far less exciting and remunerative grunt work. They weren't just super bright CS

The surveillance state is good at deterring people who don't want to get caught. If you're ready to lay down your life or freedom for an assassination, it's really pretty hard to stop such a person with the patience to prepar

MAB injections are a useful part of the arsenal, but not a new class of drug, and are only a good choice for a subset of sufferers. I am very frustrated that the research on calcilytics, which look so promising, appear hopelessly and inexpl

At last. And it's by quite a majority. I don't know the mechanics of legislative redaction in Australia, but this looks pretty solid from the outside. And the best thing about it is that once the companies do the initial work to p

You are not entirely wrong, but I think you're underestimating the value of respecting human emotion. If people are leaving the team or it is missing deadlines, angering customers, making more work for other teams etc., your manager do

How many people of 100 IQ could even develop a working knowledge of the necessary linear algebra? Most college students I took it with, probably average a standard deviation higher, did pretty middling in the class.

National budgets are complicated. Part of that is revenue from interest on debt issuance. Another part is borrowing to make up for deficits. If all debtors stop paying, revenue has to be adjusted by the expected rate of return - this is not

Public housing starts out nice when the masonry is new, its operations are freshly funded, and every initial tenant passes a basic credit check. Will it stand as a shining example after 10-20 years, when poorer tenants are in arrears or mov

Writing the code is not where I spend most of my time: it's in planning, optimizing, and debugging. AI only helps modestly with the second and third of those right now, and it certainly doesn't need to be in my code editor to do t

you don't want to shove them all into an opaque commit that says fixes, because you believe in atomic commits. Sure I do. The whole branch will be squashed anyway before it's merged in, and a single "fixes" commit whil
