I'll take an hour of sunlight after work, thanks.

It sounds like you're welcoming standard time, and don't like DST. Opposite of the usual mistake.

It wouldn't have to double the bill, would it? Couldn't the test for prompt injection be part of the main prompt itself? Perhaps it would be a little bit less robust that way, as conceivably the attacker could find a way to have i

It's difficult to program an autonomous vehicle to handle this correctly, sure. That doesn't mean an average human driver wouldn't have done better. Of course a human driver wouldn't just keep driving to pull over after

Agreed, a parliamentary system alone wouldn't fix the overall zero-sum dynamic of two parties. IMO that's why the most stable parliamentary democracies also tend to have proportional representation.

Except in most parliamentary systems (any that I'm aware of), this kind of impasse would trigger an election. In the US you just get unending gridlock.

And then generally all the smaller S-curves build on each other to make a curve that looks exponential for much longer, but ultimately turns out to be a sigmoid as well. One thing I muse on occasionally is whether the same will ultimately b

One way to frame this that I find fascinating is that increased equality of opportunity directly leads to decreased equality of outcomes . I think we're seeing both. While opportunity is still very unequal, it is arguably more equal

They're clearly not. Source: my ears listening to EVs vs ICE cars going by me on the road. At high speeds and/or on wet roads, tire noise can dominate, but in the city there's far more noise from engine/exhaust.

It shouldn't take an hour to write a decent cover letter, and there are many ways you can learn about the company you're applying to. Starting with the job posting, but LinkedIn and their "about us" page would be a coupl

There's nothing wrong with using AI. I expect you're right that a lot of successful authors and other professionals will use AI, because it can be hugely useful. But like any tool, it can be used well, or used poorly. If a cover

Know your audience. As the owner of a company with single digit employees, I put a fair amount of stock in a good cover letter. IE one that shows someone understands what they're applying to and why they might be a good fit. And tha

He also has a unique style. To me it appears intentional that he doesn't tend to write as realistic as possible depictions of possible futures, even allowing for the sci-fi elements. Rather, characters tend to act and speak like curren

Living under some restrictions for a year is not equivalent to having a year deleted from your life.

Each province set health guidelines and restrictions mostly independently, so it's very possible they do.

Aside from being glasses with tech and a camera, they're very different. Google Glass had a screen, for one thing, so it was an early attempt at AR. It didn't have lenses, and didn't look anything like regular glasses. This i

Caring about your work and work environment can make time spent working a lot more fulfilling. Which isn't to say every company or every manager inspires such sentiment, but if you can find a way to care about your work, and/or fi

No reason you couldn't do that as long as you just mean the actuation is purely mechanical. You'd still need an electromagnet and power source though, as it only works if you can turn the magnet on and off.

Huh, I'd always assumed the ball simply closed a circuit when it rode on the rails, and that's how it knew when to turn the magnet on and off, with suitable delays. It does seem to me you could still do it that way, but it'd

That would be the absolute game-changer. Something with the "intelligence" of GPT-4, but it knows the contents of all your stuff - your documents, project tracker, emails, calendar, etc. Unfortunately even if we do get this, I ex

There's bias even in that wording though. They're not "artificial" diamonds. They're real diamonds, grown in a lab instead of in the ground. Agreed with your broader point though. IIRC there's an economics t
