I use parner for non-gender reasons: - You might not know their status (married? Dating?) and the phrase “significant other” is clunky - for grown adults, terms like boyfriend/girlfriend can come off as a little dismissive or juvenile

Singular example: If you call a plumber and they say “I’ll send a guy over”, there’s no implication that it’s male. Singular and genderless.

As a native midwesterner, I get more annoyed and defensive than I should when people complain that “you guys” isnt gender neutral. Where I come from, everyone is “a guy”. It can mean “male person”, but that’s only if you use it in specifi

I wonder what role things like sympathy and theory of mind would have in spreading MPI. That could potentially explain why there appears to be a gender effect

i mostly agree, but one way that i've found to make notebooks good/usable is this: - move all of the code out of the notebook and into a nearby python module where it can be linted/mypy-d/version-controlled/code-rev

years back i came across this moon-related modeling problem on stackoverflow (i'm not the original poster)[0] and it's stuck with me that this seems like something that should have an easy solution. An HN thread about how cool the

are there any established speaker metrics that would get at something like "reconstruction error"? i've seen total harmonic distortion (THD) published in some spec sheets, but i'm not clear if there's a standard met

I’ve wondered whether the main customers for this type of equipment are audiophiles that use motivated reasoning and placebo effects to justify their purchase OR if this is being purchased by “installers” that build systems for the ultra we

Reading this just re-confirmed to me that I’m not cut out for parenting. I’m glad he’s digging it, but my reaction to all of the little miracles he described was either rolling my eyes or thinking “that sounds terrible”.

There’s an interesting hypothetical situation here: Let’s say that use of AI generated SEO to game search and recommendation algorithms become very widespread. This drives adoption of summarizers because reading these articles is a chore. T

But the written breakdowns per type below imply that those are the quadrant labels. Otherwise the write ups should be for term pairs (eg, believer+coaster)

That chart is confusing because they’ve put the quadrant labels on the axes so a) the axis dimensions are unknown and b) there are two labels on each quadrant

I loved being able to rent a game for weekend from our grocery store’s vhs department. I’d spend the rest of the trip home eagerly reading the guide while my mom shopped and I’d be so hyped to play the game by the time we got home. It’s a

The right peer group makes all the difference. I currently live in a rural environment with tiny schools and wonder how I would’ve turned out if that’s where I did high school. I think you need a critical mass of other gifted kids to really

So in your opinion, what hat would be the standout 80s American cars for enthusiasts and collectors? Off the top of my head, there’s: - fox body mustang - fiero - gnx - bronco Anything else would be selected primarily for idiosyncratic nost

I think there’s a little bit more to the golden age story. The “malaise era” started in the early 70s as a perfect storm of fuel economy restrictions and more widespread US economic woes. This lead to decades of low quality cars being made.

People think of (and are sometimes taught) that the left lane is “the fast lane”. If they are going a couple over the limit, they think they’ve earned the right to be there. Moreover, if they are prone to road rage, telling them to move ove

People can grow into their roles. You don’t expect junior devs to know everything one day one, so why would you expect a “junior[1]” manager? [1] I know the article is about senior managers, but it reads as though the mean “somebody more se

Just like there are plenty of employed, bad devs there are employed, bad leaders/managers. Maybe they aren’t good at it, or maybe they’re new to managing and this is one skill where they will get better.

Years before 2015 “the internet” for most people had been replaced by “social media” and its was pretty well understood that big tech companies now had a means and motivation to monetize our most toxic traits. The optimism about the interne
