Is it more of a problem than definitely dying, though? That’s the real question here.

Yes.

Enough money to sway 0.5 a typical SV household.

Sure, that’s inextricably a part of the deal. Don’t sign on the dotted line if you’re uneasy about it. As long as nobody is forcing you to do it, I don’t have a problem. The situation where I can try things (at my discretion) is strictly be

Trump wanted to introduce “right to try”, which I think is a great idea. Got shut down in Congress. Don’t recall why.

I explained why: to not create a harmful stereotype that women are the only ones affected, or even more affected by it than men. Why must everything be about identity politics?

HGH supplementation is not a good idea for full grown adults. It makes _everything_ grow, including eg the heart muscle.

At 40+: 0. Focus less on work and more on living a good life. Focusing on work too much is a surefire path to burnout and hating yourself. Therefore, define “success” mostly in terms of what you do outside of work. 1. Take care of your heal

Code is costly, high maintenance, and it has high cognitive overhead. When possible one should avoid writing code. But if you do decide to write it, not wasting time on shit that’s not going to work anyway can be much more valuable than cod

Why is this article about women? Men suffer from it just the same. There seems to be this perception that men are somehow immune to the various work related shit. That’s not the case at all. The best fix I’ve been able to find is to note an

That person will not be denied care. It will cost a lot, but nobody is in any danger of dying in this situation.

Share buyback is often a mechanism to compensate the employees, actually. It works 2 ways: 1. By boosting the value of already granted RSUs, both vested and unvested. 2. By augmenting the pool of shares that can be issued to employees as RS

I have never seen this “parallel IC track” work well. Basically the problem is, it is dramatically harder to advance on the IC track than on manager track. A demigod of compilers could easily be making less than a director, and there are a

What’s the incentive? Easy election vs impossible odds, what would you choose?

> Youtube is a private company and can do whatever they want with their own website The oft overlooked caveat to this line of thought is: we don’t have to like it.

I was able to cheaply and measurably boost the perf of some heavily optimized deep learning inference stuff through judicious use of prefetch. CPU can only do the job for you if it notices coalesced reads. It won’t do anything about that ne

Glyphosate is not carcinogenic though, and not dangerous to humans in concentrations typically found on produce. This is due primarily to its mechanism of action. The biological pathways it disrupts in plants are simply not present in human

We probably have a different definition of “incel” then. To me “involuntarily celibate” means “unable to find a willing sexual partner”. That’s the problem prostitution has been solving quite handily for thousands of years.

You are not going to get rid of bullying at school. You may be able to make it more subtle, but not eliminate it entirely. It’s the basic pissing contest with which social dominance hierarchy is established. Those on top get the best lookin

Why “bubble”? Their business is more profitable than crack cocaine, and their profit per employee is over a million dollars. Seems like fair compensation for once.

That grip is too wide to be a deadlift. It’s probably snatch. Or just a badly posed photo.

Almost certainly the result of either not getting enough sleep or apnea, or some other sleep disorder. The fact that you take statins suggests a bad diet, which in turn suggests that you’re overweight. Past a certain point apnea is darn nea

By that logic nothing is ever truly random. Just define the states of all atoms in the universe and you have full determinism. But the fact of the matter is, you can’t establish a causal link with such flimsy evidence unless your theory als

Nevertheless, I maintain that you can’t, in all honesty, call the ML techniques we employ today “intelligence”. They are little more than function approximation. Qualitatively this is a technique we had for decades, it’s just that now we ca

As a practitioner in this field, I kind of agree with the author. Historically “intelligence” was synonymous with “cognition” as a necessary ingredient for the dictionary definition of the word: “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge a

Can you predict it? If not, it’s a random event.

by throwaway84742 8y ago
How do you determine it’s an “increase” in the first place for such a rare and random event? Are you familiar with Poisson clumping?

Cow growth hormone does not work on humans. And even if it did, it gets destroyed by acid in the stomach. That’s why bodybuilders inject HGH instead of taking it orally.
