I think they can. IME LLMs have me working somewhat less and doing somewhat more. It's not a tidal wave but I'm stuck a little bit less on bugs and some things like regex or sql I'm much faster. It's something like 5-1

This is the fundamental weakness of Rails. You can't just "do Rails" because the UI out of the box isn't usable. You've always had to add something on whether that was Bootstrap 10 years ago or React today. It&#x

The constant worry about how others perceive you is the anxiety.

That's more like social anxiety.

I'm impressed by people that can make it anywhere near that long without breaking their phone. I'm on a 1-2 year average of dropping it and having the screen crack.

Faster is something of an arbitrary standard because speed is almost always a trade off with efficiency. A lot of China's speed comes down to cheap labor and inefficiently allocated capital.

I don't think this is really true about either country. America builds plenty. When people talk about it not being able to build they really mean mass transit and to some extent certain types of housing in some areas. Everything els

That in practice the arbitrary nature of the algorithm is superior to the arbitrary nature of human hiring.

Most bus systems in the US are wildly unprofitable and quite costly. My local system is just under $10 per unlinked trip (i.e. get one on bus). That makes getting from point A to point B not much cheaper to provide than Uber because it wil

That doesn't really address my point.

What you described is nothing new. Staffing firms for nurses have existed for a long time. These apps are automating the process and making it easier for both sides. I'm open to the idea that it's worse for workers but I haven&

Is this anything more than a scary way to describe a pricing algorithm?

I can vouch for at least one of those companies especially if we go by the "trying" bit of the GP.

Believe it or not 4 out of the last 30 Presidents were assassinated, an additional 3 were shot, and a few more were shot at or otherwise survived attempts. There's a long history of political violence in the US (and the world). We&#x

Still seems fairly speculative to me. I think it's very likely that there was life given all the water but this is still a ways away from a smoking gun.

Except for a brief blip around the housing crash inflation adjusted per pupil spending has steadily increased for decades.

The story doesn't really make sense as written. At least it's hard to imagine something remote enough to be accessed undetected from shore and be important enough to be worth tapping. Then somehow you get the data back out withou

That isn't how sunscreen works. If you put SPF 50 on and spend 8 hours in the sun you're coming back a lobster. Say you burn in 5 minutes. SPF 50 means you burn in 250 minutes. But it's more like 100% protection for 245 mi

>99.9% and another that blocked 99.5%. Sounds like nothing; only an 0.4p difference, but is actually 5 times as effective. I disagree. Both effectively stop all damage to the skin. It's like having 10 inches of steel armor for bul

by treis 1y ago
I feel like this is mostly bullshit because high SPFs are mostly bullshit. A promised SPF of 50 and a tested value of 40 means it blocks 97.5% instead of 98% of the sun. Anything higher than 30 or even 15 isn't really meaningful. At

Chips are one of those things where being the best is simultaneously very important and not at all important. Making a 10% better chip gets you the entire market. But it makes practically no difference if your cellphone or laptop or serve

I second this. By the time you're 4 years in almost anywhere you're an old timer. That plus being better than average at coding can easily make you 2-3 times as productive coding than average for your role. You can either use th

What practically happens is that these people get worked by the health care system far worse than Hims does. And the regulators that are supposed to protect them enable the abuse. There is a difference in that hospitals and drug companies
