I agree the US incarcerates too many people, does the comparison to China make sense? How can we trust their numbers especially when they disappear people.

Are there issues with making it a subtype of bool? From my perspective I only see benefits to doing that.

The irony is meta has none of these things. It’s the least bureaucratic place I’ve ever worked. Whether or not that’s a good thing I’ll leave up to the reader.

Ah ok this wasn’t what I thought then. I haven’t taken a look at Hidet yet so I won’t be much help here :( I thought you were talking about 2.0.0

This bug was in the front end (dynamo) so I’m not surprised it happens with hidet too. I fixed this for the 2.0.1 release.

I really love this idea! One critique is I only saw twelve recipes on my phone. I know you said you’re adding more but wanted to mention in case it’s a bug.

Powershell is incredibly powerful with | and %{} for transforming collections and SUPER simple .net integration. You can write commandlets in c#. It was one of the bright spots of my time at Microsoft.

I’m pretty appalled by some of the comments here. If someone scams people it doesn’t matter how complex the scam was or how stupid the victim was. It is a crime. We aren’t talking about robbing a convenience store here. 40 billion dollars

I’ve worked at a couple, I’ve probably been an outlier but I’ve really enjoyed them as long as you’re ruthless about finding projects that you enjoy. There is a ton of opportunity to work on pretty much anything you want at a large corporat

I get that temperature comes from the connection to physics but this seems like an overly complex explanation to a relatively simple formula. If you have a softmax and you multiply the input by some factor, if that factor forces the exponen

I work in a FAANG and I e always loved my job (switched teams and companies a few times) if you don’t love it anymore, find a project you do love, that’s the glory of a big company tbh. This was a pretty surface level article. There isn’t a

My point is it is also non trivial, using privacy again (a much simpler problem IMO) the US utterly failed here. The EU tried but I don’t think we can call their legislation a success either. Biases are present in every statistical model, t

I respect her as a researcher and all but the constant reminder that there are biases in AI is utterly pointless. This is going to go the way of privacy - companies simply do not give a shit. They will pay lip service in some way or another

I watched about half of the video. Tbh his excuses about not properly counting sales tax to me just sound weird. if you have a business you need to hire someone who has expertise in this area if you grow to the size where it matters. I also

So you’re suggesting we just let the financial and auto industries fail? There’s a cost to that too because once again, these industries provide value to society. Crypto provides no added value and wouldn’t even solve either of the proble

Stocks are different because there’s actually an underlying business beyond “waiting for the next guy”. For example in a non-ponzi security there is long term value as a business grows. No such thing for shitcoins. Nobody is saying sentimen

What you’re saying makes sense but I actually agree with the intent. They’re basically saying don’t destroy the government/society in the name of shareholder value. I feel like there should be a way to say this without saying “because

It’s really interesting how factorio problems are pretty much the same as multiprocessing/distributed systems problems. It just shows how universal and fundamental the idea of “work” and “workers” are. An engineer on my old team came u

I knew some people who worked there, and one thing that was a red flag for me was just how much kool-aid everyone who joined on LinkedIn seemed to be drinking. It was like a Silicon Valley trope where people would write we’re gonna change t

In your equation above. The sun produces so much more ambient heat I imagine everything else is a rounding error. I highly doubt any number of fusion plants would affect global temperature.

I suppose I’ll bite here. We don’t need “fancy” energy production as Southern California and the Midwest becomes uninhabitable, you serious? Coal power should be dead in the water if it isn’t. It’s bad for workers, bad for the air we breath

Nice way of deflecting blame there. Trump knew exactly what he was doing and he did it. He now got caught. It’s not like “hey nobody told me I couldn’t do this”, it’s why tf are you taking these documents sir. There’s no interpretation of

IMO FPGAs sound like they’d be good with extra flexibility but in practice ASICs are just better. Higher frequency, lower power and there just isn’t a way to make up for the frequency gap. You can quantize and do fancier stuff, but then you

At face value, all sides are not to blame. A president who lost the popular vote got to appoint THREE justices to this court and literally got a list of candidates from the religious right. This is the minority imposing their will on the ma

It helps me to think about it in opposite terms. You're increasing the radius by ~1ft (radius around the whole earth), and 2pi is the linear relationship with circumference, so you'll get six ft. Thinking about it this way kind of
