Every dumb rule and warning label has a story attached.

Absolutely right, and I’d define that sort of job as a caregiving role as well. A team, organisation, charity or club can be a dependent and it can feel impossible to walk away if you’re deeply invested.

I love the way “take a break” is presented as an available option. I guarantee that for many caregivers it’s absolutely not.

Literally anything but the metric system, huh? ;)

I wonder how it compares to the filter bubble with regards to North Korea. What if it really is a communist utopia?

Explain ‘advertising revenues’ to them and ruin dolphin culture forever. :P

Yeah it’s a container format. :) Hmm, and also a super convenient exfiltration format… never thought of that.

We've achieved inner-platform-ception. Again. It's recursive.

Wow, that's really different to rule 34. :P

Yep, you're getting it. That same universal principle where the interesting things all happen in that boundary between boring and random (ie. trivially-predictable, and not-predictable-under-any-conditions). If you haven't already

The boundary between predictable and chaotic is always there most interesting place to be.

Depends on the task. Anything involving physical interaction, social interaction, movement, navigation, or adaptability is going to go to the kid. “Go grab the dish cloth, it’s somewhere in the sink, if it’s yucky then throw it out and get

There's a whole lotta certainty about even intractable integrals which is lacking in the case of neural nets grappling with noisy incomplete real world data.

I work in this space and 100% agree, in fact I have been on a bit of a crusade to get the mechanical guys to stop designing parts that are rotationally symmetric for this exact reason. Letting a set of three parts be installed 17 different

You’ve never worked in middle management, have you? Just because they do largely ‘soft stuff’, mediating between different departments, teams and layers of the organisation, and (hopefully) running interference so that their team can focus

> By Church-Turing every sombolic-recursive function can be translated to a looped iteration over some memoization of intermeduate results. The stack is just a special case of such memoization. Ah, so functional reactive programs don’t s

Have they said there isn’t a mechanism for individually keying connectors? There might be something optional, even if it’s just blanking pins.

It's more effort to figure out whether a requested small favour is really needed than it is to just go along with it. Also the extra effort spent to give a reason, regardless of the quality of the reason given, is itself a signal indic

I like to joke that it's an array indexing issue. Some people loop through their array task list starting at 1 instead of 0, and so if they only have one task it never gets started. :P

I read that as "to play CAD" and was like "nah, Fusion's fun too". :D

Same, I get to a certain stage in the game (usually the first big factory 'refactor') and find myself thinking that the exact same effort I'm applying to the game could be applied to any number of work-related things that wou

Next step is to find large flat areas under the their common flight paths and draw giant targeted ads on them.

This is the root of 'pigeon religions'. Someone sees a string of events and infers a causal link between them and an outcome. Confirmation bias kicks in and they notice when this string of events occurs again, which is made more l

Using it as a visual upgrade is pretty close to what DLSS does so that sounds plausible.

I once worked one project with (against?) a guy who saw his job as ‘finding problems before they happen’. It was fine at first but as the project progressed, he became more and more focused on proving that the project would fail. Every mole
