As it should be. Nothing worse than a CEO who does not understand how their business works at the lowest level. Unless this somehow does not matter for business profitability or future (which there are examples of but much less than many pe

I don't know where you come from or what your beliefs are. But if you determined to disregard all logic and still try to win some argument then you are just an internet troll. To have a discussion at all of any kind we need basic assum

We do not know if it is the same women who buy EVs and vote to prioritise environmental issues. And because we do not know that, your conclusion seems to be invalid.

I think perceived personal safety is also why women prefer large cars. Women, in my observation, tend to think larger car equates safer car (and they also feel more powerful operating larger machine). Whereas men tend to buy larger cars a

Not only that, but also old gaming hardware can be maintained basically forever. Or even recreated from relatively simple components. There is no shortage of kits that you can assemble yourself. Old electronics is relatively very easy to un

You take picture of a ROM because in the past we did not have technology to have permanent non-volatile storage on a chip. We later had eproms and eeproms which were programmable and re-programmable but they were also expensive and problema

On flooding the Internet with generated content, the cat is out of the bag. There are already people paid to create lots of "personal" accounts and then create content like posts or reviews. This entire "industry" is get

Nope, it can't. Detecting AI-generated text is an adversarial process. Meaning there are going to exist people interested in avoiding detection. This just ensures there is never going to be a reliable solution. There will be some sol

Most people who first used electricity thought it as fancy gas lights. And then, at the time computers started showing at home and then the Internet, most people didn't know what it is for. I think it is safe to say most people have ab

"protein shake fast" is not a fast. It is a calorie restriction diet. Probably the worst kind you can imagine. I lost 60 pounds once, then regained it back and then some. I lost it again but the second time I made it my mission to

This is probably because your body has atrophied fat burning metabolic pathways. I would suggest to start with regular daily fasting. This means you eat within short window of time every day (max 4-6h) and the rest you get by with no calori

I fast regularly. It is pretty well known that our bodies are extremely good at preserving itself during fasting. I would even risk saying that our bodies don't work optimally until we are 2-3 days into a water fast. I feel better and

Everything is possible. But please, don't abuse the word "hypothesis". This is reserved for things that are not proven yet but there are some strongly supporting facts and there exists, at least hypothetically, a way to test

It depends. If I remember some bombs would use tritium (half life 12 years) to introduce neutrons to ensure chain reaction at right time. As to the fissile material itself, those all have long half lives and should be viable for tens of tho

One is always co-located at parents in law. Whenever I drive there with my family I take the newest backup and rotate it. Just in case I was robbed or had a house fire.

The problem is most people do not try to put any effort into understanding what they are doing by the computer. When you ask your wife to fetch you from work at 5 you don't have to explain: * That she needs to take a car, * That there

Lots of companies playing on two fronts to maximise their earnings. On one side they try to excuse not giving raises, laying of employees. On the other side they use it to increase their prices. This would be fine if not for the fact they u

That's probably the worst solution to the problem. IMO, the solution is to have an app that can screen messages based on user-reported spam score. The reason phone companies shouldn't do it is that it is very unlikely they will do

Yes, that's exactly the point. Heuristics is good until it is not. And any heuristics will eventually fail at high enough frequency... With intuitive understanding you start seeing how various design choices affect the performance and

I don't give take-home test tasks. I believe this is a waste of time for the company because it gives pretty much no useful information. A well written solution says nothing -- it could even potentially have been outsourced to somebody

Oh I do believe it. There will always be a market for snobs who will want to pay extra for handmade things vs AI-generated. The issue here is that it is all driven by fads and unstable. If you want to make money you will have to be flexible

For anyone interested in the topic, I can highly recommend "Signal and Power Integrity Simplified" by Eric Bogatin. I found this to be absolutely best resource on the topic for somebody with no formal electronics education like me

I think education goal for people shifted. I teach my kids to be flexible and embrace the change. Invest in abilities that transfer well to various things you could be doing during your life. Be a problem solver. In the future -- forget abo

I think you are overcomplicating the problem for no reason. You build your system from simple guarantees: * message to Kafka is sent after the payload has been published to S3. This means if you have received message on Kafka, the payload i

Well, that's not necessarily true. Training data can be generated by selecting from outputs of other AIs. If you think about Internet in couple of years as collection of AI-generated content, if you try to train your AI on Internet con

One missing criterion is client complexity. MQTT is built to work well with very little resources on the client. Kafka, on the other hand, requires you to do things you just don't want on a small embedded device -- like opening multipl

My work is mainly massive data pipelines (I use Project Reactor, MongoDB, etc.) Massive is subjective: in my case this is trying to fit, on a single small machine tens of millions of complex objects per second, hundreds of processing steps,

It is a good point. But people still can be "looking elsewhere" as in searching if they can find another job. It is exactly the thing I would do if I had any chance that I would loose my job. I know my manager would never do i

Yeah... "unsupervised" learning my ass. After ten thousand tries and tinkering with parameters until it finally clicked. Now if you could only make an algorithm that would learn how to tune algorithms...
