As we navigate the complexities of San Francisco Bay Area politics, it's important to recognize that not all partnerships and collaborations meet our expectations or align with my values and vision. While we strive for unity and mutual

So are bicycles, if you ride them outside of a protected lane. 30mph collision with a barrier is probably quite survivable in one of these things. Obviously 70mph not so. Unsafe depends on your environment. I'm perfectly safe biking ab

Everything you are describing can be solved by paying for parking. Even in the busiest areas of a downtown American city, you can find a monthly parking lot that will rent you a secure parking spot that is truly yours. Of course, it won&#x2

This is entirely unrelated to the presence or lack of housing in urban areas. If anything, a monopolistic landlord would like to expand and build more apartments, to extract a higher volume of above-market rent.

It's only a deathtrap because driving in the USA you have to share a massive high speed interstate with 2.5 ton SUVs and pickups. With lower speed local driving (the type that would be enabled by more density), and without subsidizing

This is my conjecture but my guess is that it's very heterogeneous. Salaries are high basically only if you have switched jobs recently. My guess is that people who have stayed at their jobs through the massive inflationary period of t

Nuclear waste is dangerous. Coal ash, tailings, hydrocarbon extraction byproducts; those are also dangerous. Look at cancer rates near refinery areas in Louisiana or Houston -- you might imagine a nuclear bomb went off in those areas based

I also think the space of products that involve training per-customer models is quite large, much larger than might be naively assumed given what is currently out there. It may be true that inference is 100x larger than training in terms of

You are better than I. Or have a CI pipeline that can run locally.

THE biggest danger to children is cars. Not pit bulls or crazy people. Gigantic cars that are so big that the driver cannot see out of them in front of their own bumper. Everything else is not really worth the effort in comparison.

What should happen during a squash/rebase is that the semantic meaning of commits should be revised for maximum legibility of a future maintainer. If you did one "thing" on a PR branch, and it took you 10 commits to do it, th

Doesn't insurance have the incentive to go after car thefts? I've never heard of cops listening to e.g. bike theft (I had my bike stolen, didn't even bother) but I would think if you file a claim for a stolen car the insuranc

Maybe there should be a sort of "anti-saas-sales" role: you get commission on whatever costs you're able to justify as superfluous. After all, the person at AWS makes commission selling you the stuff.

Have you seen the bill for a freeway interchange? Or the bill for lung cancer due to living next to a busy road? Or the bill for hearing loss due to noise pollution? Or the bill for having a kid getting hit and killed by a 3 ton pickup truc

If you can't prove that the regulations actually do anything (like looking at the frequency/severity/cause of casualties in other places that don't have any such regulations) then... yes? Why have regulations if they are

I do not believe any of these social constructs are real. Map vs territory. The map: debt. The territory: guys who come to your house and kick you out for not paying your debt.

You can find all the code I've ever written on Github, licensed MIT. I only wish I could do the same for the code I've written for pay. I cannot release that, because people more powerful than me have decided that I don't own

Sigh. I know that everyone is chomping at the bit to logically own me in this thread, and that's fine -- have your fun. There are a dozen comments informing me that "IP law around AI" and "fiat currency" are both ma

My point is that in these discussions, don't make the mistake of considering the artificial thing ("it's copyrightable/it's not copyrightable"). Rather, consider the real thing ("You will pay a licensing f

Copyright is not a real thing. It's a fiction. Subverting copyright law is not like subverting the laws of physics. What happens when you subvert copyright law is some guys with guns, in either an overt way or a subtle one, force a tra

I'm confused. De-loading carbs for fat makes sense for overall wellness and health (since healthy things tend to be fatty and/or low carb), but it is not possible to "manage" T1 without insulin treatment. The fact that e

It's frequently spoken about all kinds of devices that they are mining data. I'm actually really curious, as someone far away, what does this actually look like? Are PMs at these companies putting data collection stuff into their

Starlink wasn't really considered for years until SpaceX already was well underway. It was fortuitous but unplanned, not a factor in the original vision of the company when it was founded.

The most remarkable thing to me about this to me isn't necessarily the disparity between CEO and min wage (I already knew it was crazy). Instead, it's the differences between CEO compensation. Sundar is making $300 to Satya's

Yes, certainly I agree. Solar is the best option, for the first 60-70% penetration. I am, like most in this thread, very optimistic about solar. We are nowhere near that level of penetration in most regions. But after that 60-70%, adding

Wow, what a coincidence! Thank you for posting, this looks like a great resource. I am (a very novice, no EE background hobbyist) creating my first design right now. It seems like there are a lot of design rules that are not common knowledg
