I mean it is a thing experts can in theory do well, it isn't fundamentally doomed as the person I responded to implies.

Downvoted. At best the person you referring to is ignorant how reality works. But they are also indistinguishable from someone who doesn't value words at all and is lying for political gain. Why should such be allowed? Edit - and remem

Needing to go to someone else to exercise power is literally not having power.

Fundamentally, people are suffering because the courts are acting for political expedience instead of doing and saying what's right and correct. Congress should get its Act together, but one group acting in responsible is not license f

But you can run a city buy carefully picking and choosing who your policies impact and minimizing that impact where appropriate.

Yet for their value as tools the truth value of statements made by LLMs do matter.

Where M is amount of data per node and N is the amount of all data, each node that you descend skips a proportion M-1/M of all the remaining data as long as N is large enough to require multiple levels of nesting. So for practical size

Well I never said anything about rails. I sure would like to see the software development shop that uses C# and not Visual Studio.

Sure and while we both wait for visual studio to be installed, I will have solved the problem in Ruby already. Edit - No Rails, I never said rails.

Scattered years, a year contract here and there. The toxic culture event was 2023 and EA was 2022. The fist fight was 2006 or so. But interesting that you throw shade at Ruby with no explanation. Feel free to expand at length. I would like

It isn't an assumption. Not every civilization needs to expand but the ones that do will expand more than the ones that don't. And the expansionist subset of any civilization will wind up representing the whole of that Civilizatio

I strongly despise C#, and I say that with about 5 real years of experience with it. I have been on teams delivering real products with it. It is like Java but married to microsoft while philanders as it pleases. And when I say that out lou

I agree with your sentiment but not your specific number. The leap from uni- to multi-cellular life might be a "great filter" in Fermi-paradox parlance. But I think it would need to be more like one in a million or one in a billio

I want to avoid the ms ecosystem so much that I use teams vs other tools as a litmus test. If I am not desperate for work I tell contracting firms "no teams meetings" in writing when we setting up new contracts. Often, this is isn

I left windows for Linux back in the middle of the XP days. I came back to this for contracting work and setting up a shared VR gaming computer in the living room. The absolute shit level of treatment windows users tolerate is mindboggling.

They measured a speedup. SIMD is a super common way to speed stuff up and good compilers do it automatically. A lot of string comparisons use SIMD now. In C++ if you use std:string on GCCit has done it for years. I bet Rust and Python (in t

I think you might be missing the real performance characteristics of the hardware. The amount of comparisons might be the same, but comparisons are only a proxy for the expensive parts of lookups, the latency to tell RAM to provide data. If

I have learned to not buy devices and software for features that are counter to those marketed. If I bought this there would inevitably be a patch that blocked the blue backlight functionality as a concession to some nonsense like class ac

I've heard that, but I still think the amber light is disgusting and gross, I'm not buying a device that only has that. I even recently broke my old Kindle, I'd already heard of daylight computer tablets but the amber light w

But why the hate for blue light? When you look at this on the manufacturer's web page they advertise that like preference wouldn't be nice. ”100% amber”, "blue free!”, gross! I won't be doing that for any reason. If some

One interesting thing about most communication is the implied context. It is no slight against you, but based on what you said here you think differently than others and you will imply different contexts. I know of no easy answer but I have

Being able to contextualize such data and such facts into actionable knowledge or wisdom is definitely a facet of expertise. It takes a different sort of expertise, some kind of communication expertise, to interject the need for actual stud

I think a little piece of that idiom is left out for the sake of making it a good sound bite. An expert can explain something to an eager listener. Would you be able to explain something you're an expert in to a patient lay person who
