Google's problem isn't that they are paying too much. It is that they aren't effectively using the talent they have. They have a bunch of extremely talented problem solvers that can make the same $500k total compensation work

Regarding crack addicts, LA isn't that much worse than SF where they have been testing for a while. Yes, LA is bigger and has more crack addicts, but the density of crack addicts per square kilometer is about the same between the Tende

In Python I have found that a good way to deal with large config files is to use Dataclasses and serialize or deserialize them with OmegaConf.

Does it have GPU acceleration yet? EDIT: apparently it does!!! https://asahilinux.org/2022/07/july-2022-release/ Not perfect of course but this is surprisingly good progress in a short time.

It doesn't have to be very fast. Doppler shift causes the return signal to be a different wavelength which can be accurately detected interferometrically even if the shift is very small.

There's also the laser-based one which measures doppler shift in the backscatter of light passing through the air.

In order to find an interesting book, the integer that points to its location would have the same amount of bytes of information as the book itself, so finding a good book is just as much work as writing it!

True but America as a nation did in fact decommission many trolleys so it seems this line of thinking is very common.

It's pretty nice. Loads super fast, super usable. And the parts that actually matter (e.g. the search function) have improved significantly in recent years. However there are some things that could improve. For example, in text posts (

I got a Mokose UC70 USB C mount camera on Amazon. It's just a plug and play webcam but I mounted a Ricoh f/1.4 lens on it and it's fantastic. Much cheaper than getting a real mirrorless camera too.

Many static site generators are so fast that you could use, say, the unix `watch` command to rebuild your website every two seconds while running an `http-server` locally to preview the results. And then just rsync the artifacts when ready

I bought an HDMI 2.1 8K display, only to find that the Nvidia RTX 3090 wouldn't run it at 8k 60 Hz on Linux, only 30 Hz. On Windows, however, 8k 60 Hz works perfectly. It was a bummer.

Why link to Chessbase instead of to the arxiv paper directly? https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09259 Chessbase is notoriously sketchy and there is a lawsuit against them for blatantly stealing GPL code. https://st
